Important Notice for U.S. Holders

The Consent Solicitation for the Notes is made for the securities of a non-U.S. company. The Consent Solicitation is subject to disclosure requirements in Portugal and the United Kingdom that are different from those of the United States of America.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the Issuer and the Guarantor are located in foreign countries, and some or all of their officers and directors are residents of foreign countries. You may not be able to sue a foreign company or its officers and directors in a foreign court for violations of U.S. securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
