Comparable Treasury Price means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the available Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date.
Independent Investment Banker means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers selected by the Company.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.
Treasury Rate means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue for the Notes to be redeemed, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for the redemption date.

Additional Information Regarding Agents:
Standard Chartered Bank will not effect any offers or sales of any notes in the U.S. unless it is through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers as permitted by the regulations of FINRA.
United States Tax Considerations:
The text under United States Tax ConsiderationsNon-U.S. Holders in the Prospectus Supplement, dated July 17, 2015, summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of a note that is a non-U.S. holder (as defined therein). Paragraph (b) under the caption United States Tax ConsiderationsNon-U.S. Holders is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
(b) such non-U.S. holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the note, provided that, (i) the gain of such holder is not effectively connected with the holders conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if certain treaties apply, is not attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder within the United States); (ii) if the non-U.S. holder is an individual holder, such holder is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange or redemption (and does not satisfy certain other conditions); and (iii) in the case of a sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of a note effected on or after January 1, 2019, (x) the non-U.S. holder has provided
any direct or indirect information with respect to its direct and indirect U.S. owners; and (y) if the non-U.S. holder or any intermediary through which it holds notes is a foreign financial institution (as defined below), each such entity has entered into an agreement with the U.S. government, pursuant to which it agrees, among other responsibilities, to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities information about its direct and indirect U.S. accountholders and investors, or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Plan of Distribution:
The text under Plan of Distribution in the Prospectus Supplement, dated July 17, 2015, is amended by inserting the following text immediately preceding the General heading therein:
Canada
The notes may be sold only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the notes must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.
Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this document (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchasers province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchasers province or territory for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
Pursuant to section 3A.3 (or, in the case of securities issued or guaranteed by the government of a non-Canadian jurisdiction, section 3A.4) of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts (NI 33-105), the agents are not required to comply with the disclosure requirements of NI 33-105 regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.
Legal Matters:
The text under Legal Matters in the Prospectus Supplement, dated July 17, 2015, is amended as follows:
Allen & Overy LLP, New York, New York, will pass upon the validity of the notes for the agents.
Information Regarding Settlement Date for Notes:
It is expected that delivery of the notes offered hereby will be made on or about the Original Issue Date stated above in this Pricing Supplement, which will be the fifth business day following the date of this Pricing Supplement (T + 5). Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date of this Pricing Supplement or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T + 5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement and should consult their own advisors.
