The offering is being made by means of an offering memorandum. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell 
or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation 
or sale in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or 
sale would be unlawful. 
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, 
as amended (the "Securities Act") or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and 
may not be offered or sold within the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined 
in Regulation S), except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration 
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or local securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes and the 
related guarantees are being offered and sold (i) in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in 
accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (ii) in "offshore transactions" to non-U.S. persons outside the 
United States in accordance with Regulation S. There is no assurance that the offerings will be completed or, if 
completed, as to the terms on which they will be completed. 
This announcement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in any Member State of the European 
Economic Area (the "EEA") or in the United Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU) 2017/ 
1129 (as amended or superseded) (the "Prospectus Regulation") and the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of United 
Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") from the requirement 
to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. 
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or 
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor 
means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/ 
65/EU, as amended ("MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would 
not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified 
investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation and UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently, no key information 
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the "PRIIPs Regulation"), for offering or selling the 
Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and 
therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the 
United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. 
Manufacturer target market (MiFID II product governance; UK MiFIR product governance) is eligible counterparties and 
professional clients only (all distribution channels). No PRIIPs or UK PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been 
prepared as the offering is not available to retail investors in EEA or the United Kingdom, respectively. 
The distribution of this press release into certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose 
possession this announcement comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to 
comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the laws of any such jurisdiction.
