2 Approach applicable to G-SIBS in relevant jurisdictions. Additionally, Switzerland uses structural subordination, Germany uses statutory subordination, Spain uses contractual subordination
3 Assuming only bail-in is triggered. If other resolution powers are exercised, debt holders could be exposed to losses in a manner similar to a write-down of their claims
4 No bail-in power. In resolution, debtholders could potentially receive partial recoveries (analogous to a write-down) or have their claims satisfied through the issuance of new securities (analogous to a bail-in
conversion)
5 The terms of senior non-preferred do not include acceleration rights upon failure to pay principal and interest; however, there is no statutory restriction in this regard. Once resolution proceedings are
underway, holders may declare an event of default for failure to meet payment obligations
