Exhibit C

UK MiFIR product governance / Retail clients, professional investors and ECPs target market

The Corporation does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR package. Consequently, the Corporation does not qualify as an “investment firm”, “manufacturer” or “distributor” for the purposes of UK MiFIR.

Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is retail clients and eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (“COBS”), and professional clients as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturer’s target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer’s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression “manufacturer” means the Manager and the expression “UK MiFIR” means Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
