------------------------------------------ 

a. The Common Reference may be populated based on market practices and in coordination with local counterparties.  

b. Party 1 Safekeeping Account must populated together with Party 1 BIC, it must be populated with DTC ID code of the counterparty. Counterparty's BIC will not be forwarded to the depository. Only the DTC ID will be forwarded to the depository.  

Important: The DTC code must be provided without DSS DTCYID, that is, the client must input DTCC ID code without DTCYID.  

c. Many U.S. counterparties request beneficiary account details and, to avoid settlement failure, clients are strongly urged to provide them.  

d. Party 1 Safekeeping Account must populated together with Party 1 BIC, it must be populated with ABA number of the counterparty. Counterparty's BIC will not be forwarded to the depository. Only the ABA number will be forwarded to the depository.  

Important: The Fedwire code must be provided without DSS “USFW”,  

e. The transfer agent must be contacted to confirm that all the necessary paperwork has been completed before instructing the DWAC. Please also not that alternatively to SWIFT MT540/MT542 settlement messages, clients can opt to instruct DWAC via SWIFT MT565 asset servicing messages. Please refer to CBL Client Handbook for further information.  

f. In the case of a two-sided DWAC (for example, when Reg S tranches are being exchanged for Rule 144A tranches or vice-versa), the counterparty’s name and telephone number must be entered. If Reg S tranches are being exchanged for Rule 144A tranches, clients should make DWAC withdrawal of the Reg S tranche and their counterparty should make DWAC deposit of the Rule 144A tranche. In the case of a one-sided DWAC (used, for example, in conversions), the telephone number must be entered of the transfer agent who can confirm whether all the necessary paperwork has been completed.  

g. The shareholder registration name is mandatory only for shares priced at less than USD 1.00 USD. There is a 78 78-character limitation for DTC.  

h. For conversions from Rule 144A into Reg S where Citibank London is acting as transfer agent, clients are requested to provide related instruction references via a free-format message to the Settlement team in charge of the U.S. market at the latest by 18:00 CET on SD-1. Clients are also requested, for conversions involving MMI issues only and where Citibank London is acting as transfer agent, to instruct via DTC counterparty 2952 as per standard book-entry instructions with counterparties in DTC.  

i. The Tax ID number is only required if the registered owner is a U.S. citizen; otherwise, “TAX ID 999999999” must be entered. If the Tax ID is populated with “0” instead of “9”, the instruction will be rejected.  

j. A comma separator (,) must be present between each item, and the order of details must be followed; Any other characters (hyphen, dash, slash…) used instead of the comma separator will cause rejection and settlement delay.  

k. Safe must be populated with DTCC number 3199. If BIC and Safe are populated, Counterparty's BIC will not be forwarded to the depository. Only the 3199 will be forwarded to the depository (:95R::REAG/DTCYID/3199. If BIC is populated without SAFE then Counterparty's BIC will be sent
