Guidelines for Handling Information Relating to Treasury Securities Auctions

The integrity of the Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) auction processes is critical to financing the U.S. government and maintaining confidence in global financial markets. Treasury expects auction participants to maintain the highest standards in their market practices and to comply with all relevant laws and regulations, including Treasury’s auction rules.

Santander adheres to the Department of Treasury’s Uniform Offering Circular (“UOC”) that sets out the terms and conditions for the sale and issue of marketable Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. The UOC describes these securities, how they are auctioned, including how to submit bids, and the authorized payment methods. Santander activities are consistent with the Guidelines for Handling Information Related to Treasury Securities Auctions. Any information related to participation in Treasury auctions, or investment strategies regarding Treasury securities to be auctioned, will not be used by Santander as a basis for trades during a Treasury auction, unless that information is available from another source at the time of the trade.

Prospectus/Offering Document Delivery

Santander has adopted the “Access Equal Delivery” model for the delivery of offering disclosure documents. Under certain circumstances, SEC Rules 172 and 173 exempt the requirement of delivering a hard copy prospectus, official statement, and/or offering document to you. Rather you will be deemed to have received delivery of a prospectus, official statement and/or offering document by virtue of your ability to obtain this information on publicly available websites. Pursuant to a written request, Santander will deliver a hard copy of a prospectus, official statement and/or offering document related to your transaction.

Restrictions on Trading

You understand that Santander may, in its sole discretion, prohibit or restrict you from trading securities or substituting securities purchased by you or on your behalf.

Anti-Money Laundering

To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. federal law requires all U.S. financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, along with those individuals authorized to trade on an entity’s behalf. In the event that Santander is unable to verify your identity, Santander reserves the right, at any time, to take such action as may be required in accordance with such law or its own policies and procedures which may include terminating its relationship with you.

Privacy Policy

Santander’s “Privacy Policy” is available here. You acknowledge that Santander may use and share information about you in accordance with those policies.

Miscellaneous

To the extent that such other terms or agreements are inconsistent with these terms, such other written terms and agreements will prevail.

NOTICE REGARDING MIFID II

Santander is a US broker-dealer and as such, it is registered with and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The various US states’ securities laws also regulate broker-dealers within their jurisdictions. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules of the SEC thereunder, and the rules of FINRA prescribe an extensive scheme of regulation for broker-dealers. Once registered, a Registered Broker-Dealer is subject to numerous compliance requirements and obligations under the Exchange Act, as well as rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. While Santander’s compliance regime is directed to compliance with the above-mentioned applicable regulatory requirements, Santander also understands that certain clients may be subject to MiFID II. To accommodate these select clients, Santander has established a MiFID II-“friendly” approach as outlined below.

Research

Consistent with the guidance provided by the European Commission and the UK Financial Conduct Authority, Santander will continue to charge dealing commission in the same way as it does today. However, Santander understands its MiFID II clients may benefit from additional support. Specifically, if you are able to represent to Santander that you (1) are subject to MiFID II, and (2) assert that MiFID II requires you to make additional payments to Santander in order to continue to receive Santander publications or other information provided by Santander, Santander will agree to accept any such payments that you deem necessary; provided, however that in the event US regulatory guidance ceases to allow for such payments, such payments will no longer be accepted. Alternatively, should you wish to cease receiving any Santander publications or other information provided by Santander, please send your requests to MiFIDIIinfo@santander.us, specifying “Research” in the subject heading, and indicate which publications you are currently receiving, and whether you would like Santander to continue or cease distribution of such publications. Please note that Santander makes no representations as to any information distributed by it or its employees or consultants.

Trade Reporting

Santander understands that its MiFID II clients will require their counterparties to have a valid Legal Entity Identifier (“LEI”) prior to placing any order to ensure that the client can report appropriately to its regulator. To that end, Santander has obtained the following LEI, 549300LGG2RLWD21SU97. Furthermore, Santander has the capability to transact on various fixed income multilateral trading facilities (“MTFs”) or, at the client’s election, via phone, with the possibility of assisting the client in transferring the trade to an MTF or an APA (designated by the client) for purposes of satisfying the client’s trade reporting requirements under MiFID II. Santander can also provide details and passport information for one or more representative trader(s) covering the client. Please send any requests, specifying “Trader Requests” in the subject heading, to MiFIDIIinfo@santander.us.

Investor Protection

As an SEC and FINRA regulated broker-dealer, Santander is required to comply with various “best execution” policies as established under FINRA Rule 5310. We note, however, that those policies differ from the requirements under MiFID II, and Santander makes no representation as to any compliance with “best execution” requirements under MiFID II. In addition, Santander only transacts with “institutional account” clients (as defined under FINRA Rule 4512(c)) and each such client is responsible for making its own suitability determinations (either directly or through its asset manager, if applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, Santander makes no determination or representation to characterize clients as eligible counterparties, professional clients or any other designation, other than as set forth in the foregoing sentence.

Santander’s trading capacity includes “acting for its own account” (dealing as principal) and carrying out “matched principal trading” (engaging in riskless principal trading). Santander does not deal as agent on behalf of its clients, other than in equities if expressly requested by the client.

If you have any questions with respect to the above, please contact us at MiFIDIIinfo@santander.us. We look forward to continuing our relationship.
