NOTICE FROM THE CALCULATION AGENT TO NOTEHOLDERS

FlexInvest Securities, Inc. d/b/a GWM Group, Inc.

(the "Calculation Agent")

Shard Alliance (Series 29) Notes due 2035

ISIN: XS1224713658 COMMON CODE: 122471365

(the "Notes" or the "Series" and the holders thereof the "Noteholders")

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this notice shall have the meanings ascribed to

them in the Series Memorandum dated 2 August 2015 and the Conditions of the Notes as the same

may be amended and / or supplemented from time to time.

The purpose of this notice is to provide Noteholders with an update on the pricing of the Notes.

BACKGROUND

The entire net proceeds of the Notes are invested in non-voting, participating Class A shares

(together with certain related rights as described in the Series Memorandum) of Shard Alliance Co

Ltd. ("Shard Alliance"), a British Virgin Islands company limited by shares and incorporated in

the British Virgin Islands (the "Class A Shares").

Shard Alliance has failed to provide Audited Financial Statements for the 2020 Financial Year,

due 31 July 2021, and Audited Financial Statements for the 2021 Financial Year, due 31 July 2022.

Given the failure of Shard Alliance to deliver valuation information in compliance with the audit

and valuation requirements the Calculation Agent is unable to determine a value for the Class A

Shares or the Notes at this time. The Calculation Agent will not provide a NAV Report until the

value of the Class A Shares and the Notes can be determined.

Notwithstanding the above, the decision not to publish a summary of the NAV Report on

Bloomberg nor disseminate the NAV to SIX Financial Information USA Inc. and to the Vienna

Stock Exchange may cause some pricing platforms, custodians, and other financial institutions to

(i) report a value for the Notes of zero, (ii) report the last published NAV price (being 150.02 as

of 28 February 2022) or (iii) designate pricing unavailability. Noteholders should be aware that

notwithstanding the manner in which pricing platforms, custodians, and other financial institutions

are reporting the value of the Notes, the Calculation Agent is not reporting a NAV price of the

Notes at this time and Noteholders should not rely on any reported price as reflecting the

Calculation Agent's determination of the current value of the Notes.

The Calculation Agent will provide further information to the Noteholders once available.

This Notice has not been formulated by the Trustee who expresses no view on it and the Trustee

expresses no opinion as to the actions (if any) the Noteholders may take in respect of this Notice.

The information contained herein has not been independently verified by the Trustee and the

Trustee makes no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to Noteholders in

or pursuant to this Notice. In accordance with normal practice, the Trustee expresses no view as

to the truth, veracity, accuracy or completeness of the contents of this Notice. Accordingly, the

Trustee recommends that Noteholders consider seeking their own financial, tax, accounting,

investment and legal advice in respect of this Notice.

No responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by the Trustee in relation to the accuracy or

completeness of this Notice or any other written or oral information made available to any person

receiving this Notice or its advisers and any such liability is expressly disclaimed. This Notice is

made without prejudice to any and all of the Trustee's rights under the Conditions of the Notes and

the transaction documents relating to the Notes, all of which are expressly reserved.
