4 Overview of FATCA Purpose and Scope The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), introduced as part of the HIRE Act in 2010, is designed to compel foreign financial institutions (FFIs) and non-financial foreign entities (NFFEs) to provide information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about U.S. persons who hold accounts with or interests in FFIs or NFFEs. FATCA introduces new requirements on both U.S. withholding agents and certain participating FFIs (PFFIs) entering into FATCA agreements with the IRS relating to: Account documentation and due diligence, with emphasis on identifying U.S. owned accounts and U.S. payees 30% FATCA tax on FATCA withholdable payments to foreign entities that do not document a compliant FATCA tax status (includes undocumented accounts) New and expanded tax reporting on Forms 1042, 1042-S and 8966 Key Effective Dates *. The biggest challenge that we currently face is the uncertainty regarding the finalization of local rules in FATCA Intergovernmental Agreement countries and instructions to tax certification and reporting forms. Key Effective Dates * January 1, 2014 First day to submit FFI registration via online Registration System or Form 8957 May 5, 2014 June 2, 2014 June 3, 2014 July 1, 2014 July 1, 2014 July 1, 2014 December 31, 2014 January 1, 2015 March 15 & 31, 2015 June 30, 2016 Last day to complete registration of an FFI to ensure inclusion on first published IRS list of FFIs (unofficial) IRS will publish online the first list of registered FFIs & FATCA GIIN numbers (to be updated monthly) Last day to complete registration of an FFI to ensure inclusion on IRS list of FFIs published July 1, 2014 (unofficial) New account documentation and due diligence begins on new accounts opened by individuals Withholding begins for any entity account documented as a nonparticipating FFI (NPFFI) End of FATCA withholding safe harbor exception for grandfathered obligations Deadline to complete due diligence for Prima Facie FFI accounts Withholding begins on new accounts opened by entities not documented as FATCA compliant FATCA reporting commences with respect to 2014 (limited reporting) Deadline to complete due diligence for all other preexisting accounts (one year earlier for high value accounts of PFFIs) * See detailed timeline later in presentation 3

On May 2, 2014, the IRS announced (Notice ) that calendar years 2014 and 2015 will be regarded as a transition period for purposes of IRS enforcement and administration of FATCA where the impacted entity has made a good faith effort to comply. In Notice , the IRS also announced that accounts opened by entities between July 1 and December 31, 2014 may be treated as preexisting accounts. Revised IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, and W-8EXP have been released with instructions. Revised IRS Forms W-8BEN-E and W-8IMY have been released, instructions are still pending. Further to Notice from the IRS, the UK Tax Authorities ( HMRC ) have announced that Ministers had decided not to adopt any extension to the timeline for on-boarding new entity accounts. Accordingly, UK Financial Institutions will be required to obtain self certifications from new customers (both entities and individuals) from July 1, HMRC has also published the UK FATCA Schema on May 5, All Model IGA Agreements were updated on June 6,

10 New and Preexisting Account Due Diligence Requirements New Accounts Documentation and Due Diligence Requirements Step 1 Identify Financial Accounts Step 2 Is it a New Account for FATCA purposes? - A `new account opened by the owner of a FATCA Preexisting Account may be treated as a Preexisting Account if certain criteria are satisfied (single account for AML purposes; Due Diligence balance aggregation; form-sharing) Step 3 - Documentation must be collected on which to determine and support FATCA status. U.S. tax documentation (Forms W-9 and W-8) and/or Self-Certification Statements in FATCA Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) countries. Documentary evidence in lieu of tax forms provides flexibility but introduces subjectivity. Documentation must be sufficient to reliably support FATCA status. Rules and internal policies may differ for onshore versus offshore offices (or IGA vs. non-iga jurisdiction). Step 4 Validate documentation collected, determine if documentation conflicts with other documentation or information (e.g., Anti-Money Laundering documentation), determine if indicia of U.S. status exist. - U.S. Indicia include: U.S mailing address; classification as U.S. in internal files; standing instructions to pay offshore account funds to onshore account; U.S. telephone number; Power of Attorney or signature authority granted to U.S. person; and in care of or hold mail address is the sole address. - Depending on the specific indicia, a documentary cure is required to treat the account as foreign - Validation may include review of AML documents. Step 5 Classify and record FATCA status of new accounts in on-boarding systems. Step 6 Going forward, monitor account for changes in circumstances which may change FATCA status, and satisfy record retention requirements. Presumption rules will be applied for undocumented accounts; generally, individuals will be presumed U.S. and entities will be presumed NPFFIs. 9

Preexisting Accounts Any account that is not a New Account Documentation and Due Diligence Requirements Step 1 Identify Preexisting Accounts. Step 2 Identify Prima Facie FFI accounts. - For offices within the U.S., identify by list of NAIC and SIC codes, plus intermediaries (qualified or not). - For offices outside the U.S., Prima Facie FFIs include only intermediaries. - Prima Facie FFIs have an accelerated timeline for documenting a compliant FATCA status (by end of 2014). - REMAINING PFFIs must document a FATCA compliant FATCA status by June 30, Step 3 Determine FATCA status. Review existing documentation such as U.S. tax withholding certificates, self-certifications, etc., and collect additional information from client as needed to identify and support a FATCA status. Step 4 Validate documentation collected, determine if documentation conflicts with other documentation or information (e.g., Anti-Money Laundering documentation), and determine if indicia of U.S. status exist and cure. Step 5 Classify and record FATCA status of new accounts in on-boarding systems. Step 6 Going forward, monitor account for changes in circumstances which may change FATCA status, and satisfy record retention requirements. Presumption rules will be applied for undocumented accounts; generally, individuals will be presumed U.S., and entities will be presumed NPFFIs. 10

13 F O R E I I G N A C C C C O U N T T A X C O M P L I I A N C C E E A C T : C U R R E N T D E V E L O P M E N T S Withholding Requirements Regulatory Requirements for both Withholding Agents and PFFIs (see Timeline for effective dates) General Withholding Rule: Withholdable payments made to nonparticipating FFIs or recalcitrant accounts will be subject to 30% FATCA withholding tax. Strict rules are provided regarding refunds of tax. Effective Dates (see Timeline) Withholding on new accounts held by individuals commences July 1, 2014, subject to exceptions Withholding on any preexisting or new entity account documented as Non-Participating FFI begins July 1, 2014 Withholding on new entity accounts not documented with a compliant FATCA tax status begins January 1, 2015 Multiple effective dates for commencement of withholding depending on specific facts and transition rules Payor Exception for FFIs outside the U.S.: Withholding is deferred until January 1, 2017, where the payor FFI is: Not acting as an intermediary with respect to the payment, and Not acting as a flow-through entity with withholding responsibilities (e.g., partnership for U.S. tax purposes) FATCA withholdable payments must be identified. U.S. source payments only, unless passthru payment rules become effective after Generally limited to FDAP (fixed and determinable annual and periodic income), the types of payments customarily subject to U.S. withholding and/or reporting under current law, such as dividends and interest. U.S. source payments are expanded from current rules as defined by FATCA (e.g., bank deposit interest paid by non-u.s. branches). Regular current U.S. tax withholding plus FATCA withholding cannot exceed 30% (unless regular rate exceeds 30%). A PFFI can elect to have a US Withholding Agent (USWA) withhold FATCA withholding tax at a rate identified by the PFFI (e.g., where the PFFI is an intermediary). FATCA withholding overrides U.S. income tax treaty withholding reductions, however, the beneficial owner of the withheld payment can file an income tax return and reclaim the tax withheld in excess of the treaty rate. 12

14 F O R E I I G N A C C C C O U N T T A X C O M P L I I A N C C E E A C T : C U R R E N T D E V E L O P M E N T S Withholding Requirements (Cont.) Grandfathered Obligations A grandfathered obligation is generally a debt security (but not an equity security), loan or contract outstanding on June 30, The security, loan or contract must have a maturity date to constitute a grandfathered obligation. Payments otherwise withholdable under FATCA are exempt from withholding if paid pursuant to a grandfathered obligation. Any FATCA reporting requirements are unchanged A material modification of a security, loan or contract will cause it to lose its status as a grandfathered obligation. Withholding agents can rely on written statements by the issuer of the grandfathered obligation for grandfathered status and determination of whether a material modification has taken place. Special rules relating to grandfathered obligations include: - Payment relating to collateral posted to secure a grandfathered obligation is exempt from FATCA withholding as a payment with respect to a grandfathered obligation. - Obligations giving rise to withholdable payments under IRC Section 871(m) or foreign passthru payments will be grandfathered if outstanding on or before the date six months after a specified date to be determined by future Treasury Regulations. (Note certain payments under IRC Section 871(m) have had regulations issued in late 2013 and the six-month time period is running.) - Standby letters of credit and revolving credit facilities may be considered grandfathered obligations (if terms are adequately fixed) even if the drawdown occurs after June 30,

Please refer to the table on the following page for details of the countries that have entered into an IGA or are currently undertaking negotiations. FATCA will be enforced though local legislation as the IGA simply provides the formal framework for the implementation of the rules. Model 1 IGA plus Annex 2 Updated June 6, 2014 The Financial Institution (FI) registers with the IRS and commits to report information on reportable accounts annually to their local tax authority in line with the legislation set out by the partner jurisdiction. The partner jurisdiction will automatically exchange this information with the IRS. The FI should also provide its U.S. withholding agents with the amount of the FATCA withholdable income it receives allocable to its investors who are not FATCA compliant. Currently three versions of the Model 1 IGA have been released by the IRS (Link: Reciprocal Model 1A Agreement, Preexisting TIEA or DTC Nonreciprocal Model 1B Agreement, Preexisting TIEA or DTC Nonreciprocal Model 1B Agreement, No TIEA or DTC Final Regulations confirm Model 1 IGA definitions apply in place of FATCA definitions set out in the final regulations. FATCA registration may be required by a variety of foreign financial institutions and branches and in some circumstances by U.S. financial institution or branches. In particular, branches of U.S. financial institutions constituting Reporting Financial Institutions under a Model 1 FATCA Intergovernmental Agreement will have to register. 17

The partner jurisdiction may then share information on recalcitrant accounts with the IRS. Currently two versions of the Model 2 IGA have been released by the IRS (Link: Model 2 Agreement, Preexisting TIEA or DTC Model 2 Agreement, No TIEA or DTC A Reporting Financial Institution is required to obtain consent to report details of the account holder to the IRS on an annual basis, or where consent if not obtained, to report aggregate information on non-consenting accounts, upon request initiated by the IRS, to the Model 2 Tax Authority. 18

21 OECD Multilateral Automatic Exchange of Information Overview & Updates The OECD published the Global Standard for the Automatic Exchange of Financial Information on February 13, The Global Standard was developed with strong support of the EU, G8, G20 and UN and is heavily based on Model 1 IGA (U.S. FATCA) On May 6, 2014 a Declaration on Automatic Exchange of Information in Tax Matters, which commits countries to implement the Global Standard, was endorsed by the 34 OECD members and other countries, including China. The Global Standard consists of: 1. Common Reporting Standard containing reporting and due diligence rules imposed on Financial Institutions; and 2. Competent Authority Agreement containing detailed rules on the exchange of information. OECD documents do not include any timelines, but it is expected Financial Institutions in countries adopting the standard will be required to undertake due diligence obligations in 2016 and begin reporting in Reportable information includes all types of investment income (e.g. interest, dividends, income from certain insurance contracts and similar types of income), account balances and sales proceeds from financial assets. Financial institutions required to report include banks, custodians, brokers, certain collective investment vehicles and certain insurance companies. Reportable accounts include accounts held by individuals and entities (including trusts and foundations); the standard includes a requirement to look through passive entities to report on individuals that ultimately control these entities. The Common Reporting Standard also includes due diligence procedures to be followed by Financial Institutions to identify reportable accounts and obtain accountholder information required to be reported. The Common Reporting Standard will require translation to domestic law whereas the Competent Authority Agreement can be executed within the existing legal framework: a) Article 26 of OECD Model Tax Convention; or b) Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters, as amended in

22 OECD Multilateral Automatic Exchange of Information Key Differences between the OECD Standard and U.S. FATCA OECD Standard U.S. FATCA Fully reciprocal U.S. specificities have been removed Tax Residency Not fully reciprocal U.S. specific legal concepts (W8/W9s) U.S. Tax Residency and US Citizenship Investment Entity from a country which has not entered into the CRS will be classified as a Passive NFFE *** Investment Entities fall in the definition of Financial Institutions only ***Significant departure from US FATCA as it will require Financial Institutions resident in CRS countries to obtain information on controlling persons of any fund outside a CRS country that is an account holder Removal of the exemption for regularly traded investment entities (e.g. U.K. Investment Trusts and ETFs in countries adopting the CRS will be included) Removal of de minimis threshold for new accounts all accounts, regardless of size, will be subject to reporting. Pre-existing Lower Value Accounts Due Diligence: Financial Institutions will be able to rely on the residence address on record as a proxy of tax residence of pre-existing account holders. Documentary evidence does not include documents listed in attachments to Qualified Intermediary Agreements with the U.S. Exemption from the definition of financial account for interests in funds regularly traded on a stock exchange. New individual accounts below U.S. $50,000 are not required to be reviewed, identified or reported. Preexisting Lower Value Accounts Due Diligence: Financial Institutions will need to perform electronic checks on available records to determine the accountholder s status. Documentary evidence includes documents listed in attachments to Qualified Intermediary Agreements with the U.S. 21
