duties of packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (PRIIPs) in the Portuguese regulatory framework.

The Regulation applies exclusively to PRIIPs whose issuance, trading or provision of consulting services is supervised
by CMVM, pursuant to Annex II of Law No. 35/2018, of 20 July. For this reason, the retail and insurance-based
investment products controlled by Banco de Portugal and the Portuguese Insurance and Pension Funds Supervisory

As the regulatory entity responsible for supervising the issuance, trading and provision of consulting services related
to PRIIPs, CMVM regulates the information and trading duties of PRIIPs, specifically information to be made available,
its content, document preservation and related trading and advertising records obligations.

Five key categories:

(i) Language and features of the key information document (hereinafter “KID”)

The Regulation starts by setting forth the language of the KID (key information document –regulated by Law No.
35/2018, of 20 July), which must be either Portuguese or a language commonly used in financial markets (should

understand the content of the document).

this information, regarding the means and the way it is submitted. Upon notification, CMVM discloses on its website
the KID and respective contents.

advertising. Detailed rules concerning online advertising and the conditions under which it is to be carried out are
also laid down.

(iii) Protection measures for non-professional investors.

This regulation instructs on the content of the PRIIP subscription and/or acquisition document defining specific
requirements applicable to non-professional investors. It is important to emphasize the obligation to include certain
expressions in order to raise awareness and hold the investor accountable for their options and respective risks.

may be introduced to the KID, in order to ensure that the investor has effective and timely knowledge of same and
enabling the supervision activity by CMVM.

When a public offering of PRIIPs is made, either the issuer or the trader, as applicable, must disclose the offer to the
market, through CMVM’s information disclosure system, and release information regarding (i) any changes occurring at
the issuer or traders’ level, (ii) possible suspension of the trading and respective grounds, (iii) the date of extinction
of the indefinite duration PRIIP, (iv) all results of such public offering, and (v) the reason for extinguishing the PRIIP
and, if other than expected, the reason for the change in the amounts of the redemption cash flows.

(v)Archive and Registration Duties

The PRIIP trader shall keep on file the documents and records relating to contracts with customers or documents
containing the conditions under which the entity provides services to the customer, as well as proof of compliance
with the requirement to provide KID under the terms of the law and proof that guarantees the registration of the
declarations in the document of subscription or acquisition, for a five-year period as of the termination of the
customer relationship.
