illustrative purposes within this document is not intended for “use” as a “benchmark” as defined by the European Benchmark Regulation.

Certain securities are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that could have an adverse effect on the value or price of, or income derived

from, the investment.

With respect to Fixed Income Research: Recommendations fall into two categories: tactical, which typically last up to three months; or strategic,

which typically last from 6-12 months. However, trade recommendations may be reviewed at any time as circumstances change. ‘Stop loss’

levels for trades are also provided; which, if hit, closes the trade recommendation automatically. Prices and yields shown in recommendations

are taken at the time of submission for publication and are based on either indicative Bloomberg, LSEG or Nomura prices and yields at that

time. The prices and yields shown are not necessarily those at which the trade recommendation can be implemented.

The securities described herein may not have been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (the ‘1933 Act’), and, in such case, may not

be offered or sold in the US or to US persons unless they have been registered under the 1933 Act, or except in compliance with an exemption

from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Unless governing law permits otherwise, any transaction should be executed via a Nomura

entity in your home jurisdiction.
