UNITED STATES TAXATION
The following supplements the discussion under Tax Matters in the Prospectus and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein.
Any tax disclosure in the Prospectus or these Final Terms is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular prospective investor. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to it of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Notes, including the effects of applicable U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws and possible changes in tax laws.
Capital Gains
Upon a sale or retirement of the Notes, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount realized on the sale, or retirement (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as such) and (ii) the U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the Notes. A U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the Notes generally will equal the cost of the Notes to the U.S. Holder. Capital gain of individual taxpayers from the sale or retirement of Notes held for more than one year may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss is subject to significant limitations.
Medicare Tax
A U.S. Holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax (the Medicare tax) on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holders net investment income (or undistributed net investment income in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. Holders modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between U.S. $125,000 and U.S. $250,000, depending on the individuals circumstances). A U.S. Holders net investment income generally includes its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of the Notes, unless such interest income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to their income and gains in respect of their investments in the Notes.
Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
Owners of specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value in excess of U.S. $50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. Specified foreign financial assets may include financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this reporting requirement to their ownership of the Notes.
