the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance
Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as
a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of

Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "UK PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making
them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them

to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not
qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of
