your investment. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks relating to an investment in the debt securities </B></P>

Service (&#147;IRS&#148;) have been or are expected to be sought with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or
disposition of the debt securities or that any such position would not be sustained. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This discussion deals only with debt securities that
provide for interest payable in cash at least annually at a fixed rate or a single floating rate (meeting certain conditions) throughout the term of the debt securities and are denominated in U.S. dollars. This discussion further assumes that any
debt securities will not be issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Additional considerations applicable to debt securities issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be described
in the applicable prospectus supplement(s) or in a free writing prospectus. Additionally, the summary deals only with debt securities that are issued in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes and have a term of more than 1 year but not
more than 30 years. The United States federal income tax consequences of owning debt securities may be different from what is discussed below. To the extent the United States federal income tax consequences of owning any particular debt securities
we offer are different from the consequences described below, we will discuss such consequences in an applicable prospectus supplement. In the event of any inconsistency between the discussion set forth herein and any such additional information set
forth in a prospectus supplement, the prospectus supplement will govern. </P>

relevant to a holder in light of such holder&#146;s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities
that have elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships or
other pass through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors in such entities), persons liable for alternative minimum tax and persons holding the debt securities as part of a &#147;straddle,&#148; &#147;hedge,&#148;
&#147;conversion transaction,&#148; &#147;constructive sale transaction&#148; or other integrated transaction. This discussion also does not address the 3.8% Medicare tax. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons who purchase the debt
securities for cash at original issue and at their issue price (generally, the first price at which a substantial amount of the debt securities is sold to the public for cash) and who hold the debt securities as capital assets within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of this discussion, a &#147;U.S. holder&#148; is a beneficial owner of a debt security that
is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i)&nbsp;an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States; (ii)&nbsp;a corporation or any entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes created or organized in or under
the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (iii)&nbsp;any estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or (iv)&nbsp;any trust (A)&nbsp;if a court within the United
States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B)&nbsp;if a valid election is in place under applicable
Treasury regulations to treat the trust as a U.S. person. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes
holds the debt securities, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership, and partners in such partnerships, should
consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Prospective purchasers of the debt securities should consult their tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of holding the debt
securities in light of their particular circumstances, including the application of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below, as well as the application of U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws and state, local, non-U.S. or other
tax laws. This discussion is subject to any additional discussion regarding U.S. federal income taxation contained in the applicable prospectus supplement. Accordingly, you should consult the applicable prospectus supplement for any additional
discussion regarding U.S. federal income taxation with respect to the specific debt securities offered thereunder. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Payments of Interest
</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments of stated interest on the debt securities (including any foreign tax withheld on such payments and any additional amounts
paid with respect thereto) generally will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary income at the time that such payments are received or accrued, in accordance with such U.S. holder&#146;s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest income (including any additional amounts) on a debt security generally will constitute foreign source income and, for purposes
of the U.S. foreign credit, generally will be considered &#147;passive category income&#148;. Any foreign withholding tax paid by a U.S. holder at the rate applicable to such holder may be eligible for foreign tax credits (or deduction in lieu of
such credits) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, subject to certain limitations (including that the election to deduct or credit foreign taxes applies to all foreign taxes of a U.S. holder for a particular tax year). U.S. holders will generally
be denied a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed with respect to a debt security where the U.S. holder does not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which the U.S. holder is not protected from risk of loss. The rules governing
the foreign tax credit are complex. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Generally, upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a debt security, a U.S. holder will recognize
taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the disposition (less any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such, unless it has been previously included in income) and such U.S.
holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the debt security. A U.S. holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in a debt security will generally equal the cost of such debt security to such U.S. holder. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a debt security generally will be U.S.
source gain or loss and generally will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition the debt security has been held by such U.S. holder
for more than one year. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. holder (including an individual) will generally be subject to taxation at a reduced rate. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is possible that a consolidation, merger or other transaction authorized herein may cause a U.S. holder to be treated for U.S. federal
income tax purposes as though such U.S. holder exchanged the debt securities for new securities. This could result in the recognition of taxable gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and possibly other adverse tax consequences. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, payments of interest and the proceeds from sales or other dispositions (including retirements or redemptions) of debt securities
held by a U.S. holder may be required to be reported to the IRS unless the U.S. holder is a corporation or other exempt recipient and, when required, demonstrates this fact. In addition, a U.S. holder that is not an exempt recipient may be subject
to backup withholding unless it provides a taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with applicable certification requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a holder&#146;s U.S. federal
income tax liability and may entitle the holder to a refund, provided that the appropriate information is timely furnished to the IRS. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Certain
Information Reporting Requirements </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain U.S. holders who are individuals owning &#147;specified foreign financial assets&#148;
with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 are required to report information relating to such assets, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for debt securities held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). Under
certain circumstances, an entity may be treated as an individual for purposes of the foregoing rules. Our debt securities may be subject to these rules. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation
on their ownership and disposition of the debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Swedish Taxation </B></P>

purposes and who has no connection to Sweden other than his/her investment in the debt securities, or (b)&nbsp;an entity not organized under the laws of Sweden. </P>

Swedish tax purposes to a non-resident holder of any debt securities should not be subject to Swedish income tax provided that such holder does not carry out business activities from a permanent establishment in Sweden to which the debt securities
are effectively connected. Under Swedish tax law, no withholding tax is imposed on capital gains realized by a non-resident holder and payments of principal or interest to a non-resident holder of any debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Private individuals who are not resident in the Kingdom of Sweden for tax purposes may be liable to capital gains taxation in the Kingdom of
Sweden upon disposal or redemption of certain financial instruments, depending on the classification of the particular financial instrument for Swedish income tax purposes, if they have been resident in the Kingdom of Sweden or have lived
permanently in the Kingdom of Sweden at any time during the calendar year of disposal or redemption or the ten calendar years preceding the year of disposal or redemption. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the debt securities are registered with Euroclear Sweden AB or held by a Swedish nominee in accordance with the Swedish Financial

its directors and officers against personal liability that they may incur whilst performing their duties, which is most commonly made through purchase of Directors&#146; and Officers&#146; Liability Insurance. Although there is no statutory
obligation to provide such indemnification or insurance coverage, it is rather common for at least mid-sized and larger companies to provide Directors&#146; and Officers&#146; Liability Insurance which gives the directors and officers insurance
coverage for any personal liability. The insurance covers (e.g.) attorney&#146;s fees and other legal costs as well as any damages that the directors or officers may be found liable to pay. However, the insurance does not, as a main rule, provide
protection against, inter alia, actions undertaken with gross negligent or willful misconduct or civil or criminal fines or imprisonments. </P>
