1The text found in § 1(2) is known as the "TEFRA D legend". This footnote provides a very brief synopsis of the TEFRA rulesunder the tax code of the United States of America ("U.S."). Generally, debt instruments in bearer form which have a maturityof longer than 365 days may be subject to U.S. tax penalties if the issuance of such instruments does not comply with either theTEFRA C or TEFRA D rules. TEFRA C is highly restrictive and may be used only if, among other things, the instruments willnot be offered or issued to persons in the U.S. and its possessions, as defined under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and theissuer does not "significantly engage in interstate commerce with respect to the issuance." In this case a TEFRA legend is notrequired. The TEFRA D rules, which are more mechanical than the TEFRA C rules, impose, during a "restricted period",certain restrictions on (i) the offer and sale of the instruments to "U.S. persons" or to persons within the U.S. and itspossessions and (ii) the delivery of the instruments in the U.S. The TEFRA D rules also generally require that the owner of aninstrument certify as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership and that the instrument contain a "TEFRA D legend" with specificlanguage on its face. Compliance with TEFRA D provides for a safe harbour if instruments are inadvertently issued to U.S.persons. To the extent that Securities have debt characteristics, such as "principal protection", TEFRA C and TEFRA D rulesmay apply. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT WHETHER A SECURITY MAY BE CONSIDERED DEBT, U.S. LEGAL AND TAXCOUNSEL MUST BE CONSULTED.
