Rationale for the Offers
The Company is making the Offers as a way of managing the Group's financial liabilities and cost of debt financing. The
Company will fund purchases of Existing Notes pursuant to the Offers from cash on hand. The Company's intention is to cancel, on
or around the Settlement Date, all of the Existing Notes that have been accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers.
The Company and its subsidiaries have access to various sources of funding, including bank lending lines and capital markets
programmes, including the Company's €10,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the Programme). Today the Company
announced its intention to issue, subject to market conditions, a series of new euro-denominated senior fixed rate notes (the
New Notes) under the Programme, which are intended to be subscribed for by the Joint Lead Managers (as defined in the
Tender Offer Memorandum). The Offers are not conditioned on the issue and settlement of the New Notes or on the Company drawing
on such bank lines.
Purchase Price and Accrued Interest
The Company will pay, for 2018 Notes, 2019 Notes and 2021 Notes accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer, a
price (the relevant Purchase Price, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the third decimal place, with 0.0005 being
rounded upwards) as described below.
The Purchase Price in respect of the 2018 Notes (the 2018 Purchase Price) shall be determined in the manner described
in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to a yield of -0.25 per cent. (the 2018 Purchase Yield). The 2018
Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the
2018 Notes, and is intended to reflect a yield to maturity of the 2018 Notes on the Settlement Date equal to the 2018 Purchase
Yield.
The Purchase Price in respect of the 2019 Notes (the 2019 Purchase Price) shall be determined in the manner described
in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to a yield of -0.10 per cent. (the 2019 Purchase Yield). The 2019
Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed as a percentage of the nominal amount of the
2019 Notes, and is intended to reflect a yield to maturity of the 2019 Notes on the Settlement Date equal to the 2019 Purchase
Yield.
The Purchase Price in respect of the 2021 Notes (the 2021 Purchase Price) shall be determined at or around 2.00 p.m. (CET) (the Pricing Time) on 8 September 2017 (the Pricing
Date) in the manner described in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to a yield (such yield, the 2021 Purchase
Yield) calculated as the sum of (a) a purchase spread of 55 bps (the 2021 Purchase Spread) and (b) the
Interpolated Mid-Swap Rate. The 2021 Purchase Price will be determined in accordance with market convention and expressed
as a percentage of the nominal amount of the 2021 Notes, and is intended to reflect a yield to maturity of the 2021 Notes on the
Settlement Date equal to the 2021 Purchase Yield.
The Company will also pay, in relation to each Series of Existing Notes, an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of Existing
Notes of such Series accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer.
Maximum Acceptance Amount
If the Company decides, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept valid tenders of Existing Notes pursuant to the Offers,
it will accept for purchase up to an aggregate nominal amount of Existing Notes equal to the Maximum Acceptance Amount. The
Company will determine the allocation of the nominal amount accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers between the 2018 Notes,
the 2019 Notes and the 2021 Notes in its sole and absolute discretion, and reserves the right to accept significantly more or
less (or none) of the Existing Notes of one Series as compared to the other Series of Existing Notes. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Company reserves the right to accept, in its sole and absolute discretion, only the 2018 Notes or only the 2019 Notes or only
the 2021 Notes.
In addition, the Company reserves the right to increase, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Maximum Acceptance Amount at
any time, including after the Expiration Deadline.
Series Acceptance Amounts and Scaling of Offers
Series Acceptance Amounts
If the Company accepts any Existing Notes of a Series for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer and the aggregate nominal
amount of such Series validly offered for purchase is greater than the final aggregate nominal amount of a Series accepted for
purchase (in respect of such Series, the Series Acceptance Amount), the Company intends to accept Existing Notes of such
Series for purchase in the manner set out under "Scaling of Offers" below, such that the aggregate nominal amount of such
Series accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Offer is no greater than the relevant Series Acceptance Amount. See further
"Scaling of Offers" below.
Scaling of Offers
The Company is under no obligation to accept for purchase any Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers. The acceptance
for purchase by the Company of Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers is at the sole and absolute discretion of the
Company and tenders may be rejected by the Company for any reason in its sole and absolute discretion. The amount of 2018 Notes
or 2019 Notes or 2021 Notes that is purchased pursuant to the relevant Offer will be based on the Maximum Acceptance Amount, and
tenders of 2018 Notes and/or 2019 Notes and/or 2021 Notes may be pro-rated.
In the circumstances in which valid tenders of Existing Notes of a Series pursuant to the relevant Offer are to be accepted,
at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, on a pro rata basis, each such tender of Existing Notes of the relevant
Series will be scaled by a factor rounded to the nearest 0.000001 (with 0.0000005 being rounded upwards) (each a Pro-Ration
Factor) equal to (i) the Series Acceptance Amount for such Series, divided by (ii) the aggregate nominal amount of Existing
Notes of such Series validly tendered pursuant to the relevant Offer (subject to adjustment to allow for the aggregate nominal
amount of Existing Notes of each Series accepted for purchase, following the rounding of tenders of Existing Notes as described
below, to equal the relevant Series Acceptance Amount exactly).
Each tender of Existing Notes that is scaled in this manner will be rounded down or up at the Company's discretion to the
nearest €1,000 provided, in each case, that the Company will only accept valid tenders of Existing Notes to the extent any such
pro-rating would not result in the relevant Noteholder transferring Existing Notes to the Company in an aggregate nominal amount
which is less than the relevant minimum denomination (as described below) of the relevant Series of Existing Notes.
Tender Instructions
In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the relevant Purchase Price and relevant Accrued Interest Payment
pursuant to, the relevant Offer, Noteholders must validly tender their Existing Notes by delivering, or arranging to have
delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that is received by the Tender Agent by 5.00 p.m.
(CET) on 7 September 2017 (the Expiration Deadline).
Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the Tender Offer
Memorandum.
Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a nominal amount of Existing Notes of any Series of no less than €100,000,
being the minimum denomination of each Series of Existing Notes, and may, in each case, be submitted in integral multiples of
€1,000 above €100,000. A separate Tender Instruction must be completed on behalf of each beneficial owner.
The Company is not under any obligation to accept any tender of Existing Notes for purchase pursuant to any Offer.
Tenders of Existing Notes for purchase may be rejected in the sole discretion of the Company for any reason and the Company is
not under any obligation to Noteholders to furnish any reason or justification for refusing to accept a tender of Existing Notes
for purchase. For example, tenders of Existing Notes of any Series for purchase may be rejected if the relevant Offer is
terminated, if the relevant Offer does not comply with the relevant requirements of a particular jurisdiction or for any other
reason.
