Currency of Payment:
|
|
All payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the notes, including any payments made upon any redemption of the notes, will be made in euro. If the euro is unavailable to the issuer or, in the case of the
guarantee, the guarantor, due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the issuer’s or the guarantor’s control or if the euro is no longer being used by the then member states of the European Economic and
Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars
until the euro is again available to the issuer, or, in the case of the guarantee, the guarantor or so used.
|
|
|
|
|
Payment of Additional Amounts:
|
|
Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the issuer and the guarantor may be required to pay as additional interest to certain holders of notes such amounts as may be necessary so that every net payment on such holders’
notes after deduction or withholding for or on account of any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge of whatever nature imposed upon, or as a result of, such payment by the Netherlands or the United States (or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), will not be less than the amount provided for in such holders’ notes to be then due and payable.
|

|
|
|
|
|
Redemption for Tax Reasons:
|
|
The issuer may redeem all, but not less than all, of a series of notes in the event of certain changes in the tax law of the Netherlands or the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) if,
in the written opinion of independent counsel chosen by the issuer or the guarantor, there is a material probability that the issuer or the guarantor will become obligated to pay additional interest on such series of notes as described above under
“Payment of Additional Amounts.” The redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for
redemption.
|
|
|
|
|
Purchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event:
|
|
Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the prospectus supplement related to the notes), with respect to any series of notes, the issuer may, in certain circumstances, be required to make an offer
to purchase such series of notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase.

Listing:
|
|
Application has been made for the notes to be admitted to the Official List of Euronext Dublin and traded on the GEM of Euronext Dublin. If such a listing is obtained, the issuer has no obligation to maintain such listing and may
delist the notes at any time.
|
|
|
|
|
Eurosystem Eligibility:
|
|
The notes are intended to be held in a manner that will allow for Eurosystem eligibility. This means that the notes are intended upon issue to be deposited with a Common Safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV and Clearstream Banking,
S.A. and does not necessarily mean that the notes will be recognized as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem, either upon issue or at any or all
times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.

We expect to deliver
the notes against payment for the notes on or about November 18, 2021, which is the seventh London business day and sixth New York business day following the date of the pricing of the notes. Under the E.U. Central Securities Depositaries
Regulation, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two London business days unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Also under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two New York business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes before the
second business day prior to November 18, 2021 will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
