NOTICE Under U.S. federal income tax law, the Trustee or other withholding agent may be required to backup withhold at a rate of twenty-four percent (24%) on any gross payment to a holder (other than a corporation, financial institution, or holder that otherwise qualifies for an exemption) (i) who fails to provide a taxpayer identification number and other required certifications or (ii) with respect to whom the Internal Revenue Service notifies the Trustee or other withholding agent that such holder has failed to properly report certain interest and dividend income to the Internal Revenue Service and to respond to notices to that effect. To establish an exemption from backup withholding, a Holder will need to complete a Form W-9 or an appropriate Form W-8, as applicable, which should be furnished in connection with the presentment and surrender of the Notes called for redemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that such holder timely provides certain required information to the Internal Revenue Service. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the withholding and other tax consequences of the redemption. German American Bancorp, Inc.
