Payments of interest and principal in respect of the covered bonds are irrevocably guaranteed by the

The covered bonds will constitute legal, valid and binding direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and
unsecured obligations of the Bank and will rank pari passu with all deposit liabilities of the Bank without
any preference among themselves and at least pari passu with all other unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of the Bank, present and future.
