MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPs ONLY TARGET MARKET – 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 eligible counterparties
and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients 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 MiFID II 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.
ADB does not fall under the scope of application of MiFID II or Regulation (EU) No. 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 (“U.K. MiFIR”). Consequently, ADB does not qualify as an “investment firm”, “manufacturer” or “distributor” for the purposes of either MiFID II or U.K. MiFIR.
