2 Risk Factors

All investments in interest bearing securities have risk associated with such investment. The risk is related to the general volatility in the market for such securities, varying liquidity in a single bond issue as well as company specific risk factors. An investment in interest bearing securities is only suitable for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investments and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out in the Registration Document dated 2 June 2021 and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision. The risk factors set out in the Registration Document and the Securities Note cover the Issuer and the bonds issued by the Issuer, respectively.

Risk factors material to the Bonds

Risk factors that apply to Restricted Tier 1 Own Funds instruments ("RT1")

The Bonds is a perpetual bond issue with no maturity date but may be redeemed by the Issuer at its discretion from the First Call Date in 2026 onwards, provided the conditions for redemption (as described in the Term Sheet) are all met including but not limited to the continued solvency of the Issuer and the Issuer Group and an approval from the Issuer Supervisor.

Due to the status of the RT1 Bonds as direct, unsecured and subordinated debt obligations of the Issuer, in connection with a Bankruptcy Event of the Issuer, the RT1 Bonds will rank: a) pari passu without any preference among each Bond, b) pari passu with all outstanding Parity Obligations, c) in priority to payments to creditors in respect of any Junior Obligations, and d) junior in right of payment to (i.e. be subordinated to) any present or future claims of (i) policyholders of the Issuer, and (ii) any other unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer, and (iii) subordinated creditors of the Issuer other than the present and future claims of creditors that rank or are expressed to rank pari passu with or junior to the RT1 Bonds to the extent permitted by Applicable Regulations in order for the RT1 Bonds to be classified as Restricted Tier 1 Instruments.

In case of a Bankruptcy Event, payments to investors in subordinated debt will depend on funds left after payments are made to unsubordinated creditors and creditors with higher ranking. This may result in a loss for the bondholder. From the status of the RT1 Bonds it also follows that the interest payments may be suspended without any accumulation. As a consequence, the investor may lose income from not receiving coupon and not being able to reinvest the interest. Finally, if the audited accounts of the Issuer show that a substantial part of its subordinated debt capital has been lost, the loss may be absorbed by reduction of the denomination without any accompanying payment to the investors.

Interest payments under the Restricted Tier 1 instrument may be optionally or mandatorily cancelled. The interest payment obligations of the Issuer under the Bond Terms are conditional upon the Issuer being Solvent at the time of payment and still being solvent immediately thereafter (the "Solvency Condition"). Other than in a Bankruptcy Event, no amount will be payable under or arising from the RT1 Bonds except to the extent that the Issuer could make such payment in satisfaction of the Solvency Condition. Any actual or anticipated cancellation or of interest payments is likely to have an adverse effect on the market price of the RT1 Bonds.

A breach of Solvency capital requirement as stated in the Bond Terms may result in a permanently or temporarily write down of the principal amount, in whole or in parts. A write down may lead to a reduction of the denomination of each Bond in the CSD in order to achieve a pro rata reduction between the Bondholders, and pro rata drawing between the Bonds. A write down may be reinstated at the discretion of the Issuer.

Risks related to the market value of the Bonds

There is a risk that the value of the Bonds may decrease due to changes in relevant market risk factors. The price of a single bond issue will fluctuate in accordance with the interest rate and credit markets in general, the market view of the credit risk of that particular bond issue, and the liquidity of this bond issue in the market. In spite of an underlying positive development in the Issuer's business activities, the price of a bond may fall independent of this fact.

If the Issuer's early redemption right (ordinary or conditional (Regulatory Call, Tax Call and/or Rating Call) as stated in the Bond Terms) is exercised, the Call Price is 100 % of the applicable denomination at the time of an early redemption. The Call Price may limit the market value of the Bonds and an investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a manner which achieves a similar effective return.

The Issuer's early redemption right may affect the value of the Bonds. The Issuer may elect to redeem the Bonds when the cost of borrowing is lower than the interest rate of the Bonds. The Issuer's ability to call the Bonds is likely to limit the market value of the Bonds as during any period when the Issuer may redeem the Bonds, the market value of the Bonds generally will not rise substantially above the price at which they can be redeemed.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that a party interested in trading bonds cannot do it because nobody else in the market wants to trade the bonds. Missing demand for the bonds may result in a loss for the bondholder in the form of not getting access to liquidity through sale of the bonds but has to wait until maturity for the bonds to receive liquidity.

Interest-rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that results from the variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The coupon payments, which depend on the NIBOR interest rate and the Margin, will vary in accordance with the variability of the NIBOR interest rate. The interest rate risk related to this bond issue will be limited, since the coupon rate will be adjusted quarterly according to the change in the reference interest rate (NIBOR 3 months) over the tenor. The primary price risk for a floating rate bond issue will be related to the market view of the correct trading level for the credit spread related to the bond issue at a certain time during the tenor, compared with the credit margin the bond issue is carrying. A possible increase in the credit spread trading level relative to the coupon defined credit margin may relate to general changes in the market conditions and/or Issuer specific circumstances. However, under normal market circumstances the anticipated tradable credit spread will fall as the duration of the bond issue becomes shorter. In general, the price of bonds will fall when the credit spread in the market increases, and conversely the bond price will increase when the market spread decreases.

The regulation and reform of "benchmarks" may adversely affect the value of securities linked to or referencing such "benchmarks" - Interest rates and indices which are deemed to be "benchmarks", (including NIBOR) are subject of recent national and international regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. Some of these reforms are already effective whilst others are still to be implemented. These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past, to disappear entirely, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted. Any such consequence could

have a material adverse effect on any securities linked to or referencing such a "benchmark". The Benchmarks Regulation could have a material impact on any Bonds linked to or referencing a "benchmark", in particular, if the methodology or other terms of the "benchmark" are changed in order to comply with the requirements of the Benchmarks Regulation. Such changes could, among other things, have the effect of reducing, increasing or otherwise affecting the volatility of the published rate or level of the "benchmark".

The Bonds are linked to NIBOR and there is a risk that any discontinuance or reforms of NIBOR may material adverse effect the pricing of the Bonds. No guarantees can be made as to the continuance of the current underlying reference rate of the Bonds and the possible consequences a potential discontinuance of NIBOR may have of the value of the Bonds.

Changes to Solvency II or other applicable law or regulation may increase the risk of cancellation of interest payments, write-down or the occurrence of a Capital Disqualification Event

Solvency II requirements adopted, whether as a result of further changes to Solvency II or changes to the way in which the Issuer Supervisor interprets and applies these requirements to the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group may change. Any such changes, either individually and/or in aggregate, may lead to further unexpected changes in relation to the calculation of the Solvency Capital Requirement, Minimum Capital Requirement and/or Eligible Own-Fund Items to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement or Minimum Capital Requirement, and such changes may make the applicable regulatory capital requirements more onerous. Such changes that may occur in the application of Solvency II subsequent to the date of this presentation and/or subsequent changes to such rules and other variables may individually or in aggregate negatively affect the calculation of the Solvency Capital Requirement and/or Minimum Capital Requirement and thus increase the risk of cancellation of interest payments, , write-down or, alternatively, trigger a Capital Disqualification Event and subsequent redemption of the Bond Issues by the Issuer. Additionally, the Issuer may be required to raise further capital pursuant to applicable law or regulation or the official interpretation thereof in order to maintain the then applicable Minimum Capital Requirement and Solvency Capital Requirement. Changes to Solvency II requirements may also increase the likelihood of a Capital Disqualification Event and subsequent early redemption of one or both of the Bond Issues by the Issuer.

A Capital Disqualification Event may occur as a result of any replacement of, or change to (or change to the interpretation of), the Applicable Regulations after the Issue Date. Such an event may lead to the whole or a part of the Restricted Tier 1 issue no longer being qualified as Basic Own Funds Tier 1 Capital applicable to the Issuer or Issuer Group.

Credit ratings may not reflect all risks

The Bond Issue is rated BBB (Restricted Tier 1) by S&P. S&P is established in the European Economic Area and registered under the EU CRA Regulation and is as of date included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certied-CRAs) in accordance with the CRA Regulation. The rating S&P has given to the Bond Issues is endorsed by S&P Global Ratings UK Limited which is established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation. The rating may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to the structure, market, additional factors discussed above, and other factors that may affect the value of the respective Bond issue.

A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be suspended, revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time. Any adverse change in an applicable credit rating could adversely affect the trading price for the Bond Issues. In addition, rating agencies other than S&P could seek to rate the Bond Issues and such unsolicited ratings are lower than the comparable ratings assigned to the Bond Issues by S&P, those unsolicited ratings could have an adverse effect on the value and the marketability of the Bond Issues.

(write down):

ISIN NO0010965429

• (b) The Bonds shall be written-down by a reduction of the Nominal Amount (such reduction a "Write Down" and "Written Down" being construed accordingly) in case any of the following conditions are met for the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group (each a "Trigger Event"):
  • a. the amount of Own-Fund Items eligible to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement is equal to or less than 75% of the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • b. the amount of Own-Fund Items eligible to cover the Minimum Capital Requirement is equal to or less than the Minimum Capital Requirement;
  • c. compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement is not reestablished within a period of three months of the date when noncompliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement was first observed.
• (c) Subject to compliance with the Applicable Regulations, the Nominal Amount shall be Written Down in such a way that all of the following are reduced (i) the claim of the Bondholders in the event of a Bankruptcy Event; (ii) the amount required to be paid on redemption of Bonds; and (iii) the interest paid on the Bonds, provided however that the following provisions shall always be met:
  • a. If a Trigger Event as specified in Clause 3.7.2 letter (c) in the Bond Terms) has occurred and a partial Write Down would be sufficient to reestablish compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement, there shall be a partial Write Down of the Nominal Amount for an amount sufficient to re-establish compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • b. If a Trigger Event specified in Clause 3.7.2 letter (c) in the Bond Terms) has occurred and a partial Write Down would not be sufficient to reestablish compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement, the Initial Nominal Amount shall be Written Down on a linear basis in a manner which ensures that full write-down will occur when 75% coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement is reached;
  • c. If the trigger event specified in Clause 3.7.2 letters (a) or (b) in the Bond Terms) has occurred, the Nominal Amount is Written Down in full;
  • d. Following a Write Down in accordance with Clause 3.7.3 letter (b) ("Initial Write Down") in the Bond Terms),
    • i. If the Trigger Event specified in Clause 3.7.2 letters (a) or (b) in the Bond Terms) has occurred, the Nominal Amount is Written Down in full;
    • ii. if, by the end of the period of three months from the date of the Trigger Event that resulted in the Initial Write Down, no such Trigger Event has occurred but the Solvency Ratio has deteriorated further, the Initial Nominal Amount is Written Down further in accordance with Clause 3.7.3 letter (b) in the Bond Terms to reflect that further deterioration in the Solvency Ratio;
    • iii. a further Write Down is made in accordance with point (ii) for each subsequent deterioration in the Solvency Ratio at the end of each subsequent period of three months until compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement is re-established.

For the purposes of the (Clause 3.7.3 in the Bond Terms), 'Solvency Ratio' means the ratio of the eligible amount of Own-Funds Items to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement and the Solvency Capital Requirement, using the latest available values.

(d) Any Write Down pursuant to the Clause 3.7 in the Bond Terms shall be notified in accordance with Clause 8.3 in the Bond Terms as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days, after the Issuer has determined (i) that a Trigger Event has occurred and (ii) any approval by the Issuer Supervisor required by the Applicable Regulations has been obtained. The notice should state (i) that a Trigger Event has occurred, (ii) the date on which the Write Down took effect (the "Write Down Date") and (iii) the principal amount by which each Bond will be written down on the Write Down Date.

• (e) Any reduction of the Nominal Amount shall apply equally to all Bonds, and be proportional for all Restricted Tier 1 Instruments issued by the Issuer. A Reduction of Nominal Amount will be registered in the CSD, and the Bond Trustee may instruct the CSD to split the Nominal Amount in the event of a Write Down to take place. In the event that the Bonds have been called but not yet redeemed prior to a Write Down will take place, and the Issuer Supervisor has given its approval to pay the remaining Nominal Amount, this may be implemented by a reduction of the Call Price, or by other ways which give the same intended financial results. The Bond Trustee may instruct the CSD to split the Nominal Amount of the Bonds.
• (f) Following any reduction of the Nominal Amount, the Issuer may, at its discretion, increase the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Bonds (a "Discretionary Reinstatement") provided that such Discretionary Reinstatement:
  • (i) is permitted only after the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group has achieved compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • (ii) is not activated by reference to Own-Fund Items issued or increased in order to restore compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • (iii) occurs only on the basis of Relevant Profits which contribute to Distributable Items made subsequent to the restoration of compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement in a manner that does not undermine the loss absorbency intended by Article 71(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation 2015/35;
  • (iv) does not result in a Trigger Event;
  • (v) will not result in the Nominal Amount of the Bonds being greater than the Initial Nominal Amount and
  • (vi) is approved by the Issuer Supervisor, provided that any such approval is required pursuant to the Applicable Regulations.
• (g) Any Discretionary Reinstatement should be made on a pro rata basis among other Tier 1 Instruments that have been subject to a write-down. The maximum amount to be attributed to the sum of Discretionary Reinstatement of Tier 1 Instruments together with the payment of interest on the reduced amounts after Write Down shall be equal to the Relevant Profit multiplied by the amount obtained by dividing the amount determined in point (i) by the amount determined in point (ii):
  • (i) the sum of the nominal amount of all Tier 1 Instruments of the Issuer at the time of the Discretionary Reinstatement;
  • (ii) The total Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer.

Any Discretionary Reinstatement will be made on any Interest Payment Date based on the Issuer's audited annual accounts for the then most recent financial year.

• (h) To the extent that only a part of the Nominal Amount has been Written Down as provided above on a pro rata basis cf. Clause 3.7.5 in the Bond Terms, interest will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms hereof on the then Nominal Amount, subject to Clause 3.6 (Cancellation of Payments) in the Bond Terms.
• (i) Any Discretionary Reinstatement pursuant to Clauses 3.7.6 and 3.7.7 in the Bond Terms shall be notified in accordance with Clause 8.3 in the Bond Terms as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days, following (i) the date on which the Issuer resolves to effect such Discretionary Reinstatement of the Nominal Amount and (ii) any approval by the Issuer Supervisor required by the Applicable Regulations has been obtained.
• (j) Discretionary Reinstatement may occur on one or more occasions until the Nominal Amount of the Bonds has been reinstated to the Initial Nominal Amount. Any decision by the Issuer to effect or not to effect any Discretionary Reinstatement on any occasion shall not preclude it from effecting or not effecting any Discretionary Reinstatement on any other occasion.
• (k) For the avoidance of doubt, Discretionary Reinstatement shall apply to the Bonds only if, and to the extent that, the Nominal Amount of the Bonds have been

ISIN NO0010965429

Written Down following the occurrence of a Trigger Event in accordance with the provisions of Clause (b) above (Clause 3.7.2 in the Bond Terms). If at any time the Bonds are Written Down pursuant to Chapter 21 sub-chapter I of the Financial Undertakings Act, the Nominal Amount by which the Bonds are so written down pursuant to the Financial Undertakings Act shall not be reinstated (whether by way of Discretionary Reinstatement or otherwise) in any circumstances, and references herein to a Discretionary Reinstatement up to (or not exceeding) the Initial Nominal Amount shall be construed as the Nominal Amount following the Write Down.

Definitions: please see Clause 2. Definitions in the Bond Terms.

• 3.6.1 Payment of interest may be cancelled, at any time and for an unlimited period, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer in its sole discretion.
• 3.6.2 Payment of interest will be mandatorily cancelled to the extent so required by the Applicable Regulations, including the applicable criteria for Tier 1 Instruments.
• 3.6.3 In the event that the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group is in non-compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement or the payment of interest would lead to such non-compliance, interest may only be paid if all of the following conditions are met:
  • (a) the Issuer Supervisor has exceptionally waived the cancellation of such interest payment;
  • (b) the interest payment does not further weaken the solvency position of the Issuer or the Issuer Group;
  • (c) the Minimum Capital Requirement is complied with after the interest payment is made.
• 3.6.4 Following any cancellation of interest, the right of Bondholders to receive accrued interest in respect of any such interest accrued but unpaid to that date will terminate and the Issuer will have no further obligation to pay such interest or to pay interest thereon, whether or not payments of interest in respect of interest accrued at subsequent Interest Payment Dates are made, and such unpaid interest will not be deemed to have accrued or be earned for any purpose.
• 3.6.5 Any cancellation of interest (whether pursuant to Clauses 3.6.1, 3.6.2 or 3.6.3) will not constitute an event of default nor entitle Bondholders to accelerate the Bonds or petition for insolvency or liquidation of the Issuer. Any cancellation of interest will not have any

restrictions on the Issuer's activities, or on its ability to make distributions in favour of other capital instruments in its capital structure. The Issuer may use the cancelled payments without restriction to meet its obligations as they fall due.

• 3.6.6 The Issuer has no obligation to replace cancelled interest payments with other forms of distribution, and the Issuer has no obligation to pay interest on the Bonds even if distributions have been made in favour of other Own-fund Items.
• 3.6.7 Cancellation of payments pursuant to this Clause 3.6 shall be notified in accordance with Clause 8.3 as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days after the Issuer has decided in its sole discretion to cancel any payments, or when any payments will mandatorily be cancelled to the extent required by the Applicable Regulations for the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group.

3.7 Reduction of Principal (write-down)

• 3.7.1 The Bonds shall absorb losses once there is non-compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement in accordance with the Applicable Regulations.
• 3.7.2 The Bonds shall be written-down by a reduction of the Nominal Amount (such reduction a "Write Down" and "Written Down" being construed accordingly) in case any of the following conditions are met for the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group (each a "Trigger Event"):
  • (a) the amount of Own-Fund Items eligible to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement is equal to or less than 75% of the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • (b) the amount of Own-Fund Items eligible to cover the Minimum Capital Requirement is equal to or less than the Minimum Capital Requirement;
  • (c) compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement is not re-established within a period of three months of the date when non-compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement was first observed.
• 3.7.3 Subject to compliance with the Applicable Regulations, the Nominal Amount shall be Written Down in such a way that all of the following are reduced (i) the claim of the Bondholders in the event of a Bankruptcy Event; (ii) the amount required to be paid on redemption of Bonds; and (iii) the interest paid on the Bonds, provided however that the following provisions shall always be met:
  • (a) If a Trigger Event as specified in Clause 3.7.2 letter (c) has occurred and a partial Write Down would be sufficient to re-establish compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement, there shall be a partial Write Down of the Nominal Amount for an amount sufficient to re-establish compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • (b) If a Trigger Event specified in Clause 3.7.2. letter (c) has occurred and a partial Write Down would not be sufficient to re-establish compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement, the Initial Nominal Amount shall be Written Down on a linear basis in a manner which ensures that full write-down will occur when 75% coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement is reached;
  • (c) If the trigger event specified in Clause 3.7.2 letters (a) or (b) has occurred, the Nominal Amount is Written Down in full;

• (d) Following a Write Down in accordance with Clause 3.7.3 letter (b) ("Initial Write Down"),
  • (i) If the Trigger Event specified in Clause 3.7.2 letters (a) or (b) has occurred, the Nominal Amount is Written Down in full;
  • (ii) if, by the end of the period of three months from the date of the Trigger Event that resulted in the Initial Write Down, no such Trigger Event has occurred but the Solvency Ratio has deteriorated further, the Initial Nominal Amount is Written Down further in accordance with Clause 3.7.3 letter (b) to reflect that further deterioration in the Solvency Ratio;
  • (iii) a further Write Down is made in accordance with point (ii) for each subsequent deterioration in the Solvency Ratio at the end of each subsequent period of three months until compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement is reestablished.

For the purposes of this Clause 3.7.3, 'Solvency Ratio' means the ratio of the eligible amount of Own-Funds Items to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement and the Solvency Capital Requirement, using the latest available values.

• 3.7.4 Any Write Down pursuant to this Clause 3.7 shall be notified in accordance with Clause 8.3 as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days, after the Issuer has determined (i) that a Trigger Event has occurred and (ii) any approval by the Issuer Supervisor required by the Applicable Regulations has been obtained. The notice should state (i) that a Trigger Event has occurred, (ii) the date on which the Write Down took effect (the "Write Down Date") and (iii) the principal amount by which each Bond will be written down on the Write Down Date.
• 3.7.5 Any reduction of the Nominal Amount shall apply equally to all Bonds, and be proportional for all Restricted Tier 1 Instruments issued by the Issuer. A Reduction of Nominal Amount will be registered in the CSD, and the Bond Trustee may instruct the CSD to split the Nominal Amount in the event of a Write Down to take place. In the event that the Bonds have been called but not yet redeemed prior to a Write Down will take place, and the Issuer Supervisor has given its approval to pay the remaining Nominal Amount, this may be implemented by a reduction of the Call Price, or by other ways which give the same intended financial results. The Bond Trustee may instruct the CSD to split the Nominal Amount of the Bonds.
• 3.7.6 Following any reduction of the Nominal Amount, the Issuer may, at its discretion, increase the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Bonds (a "Discretionary Reinstatement") provided that such Discretionary Reinstatement:
  • (a) is permitted only after the Issuer and/or the Issuer Group has achieved compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • (b) is not activated by reference to Own-Fund Items issued or increased in order to restore compliance with the Solvency Capital Requirement;
  • (c) occurs only on the basis of Relevant Profits which contribute to Distributable Items made subsequent to the restoration of compliance with the Solvency Capital

Requirement in a manner that does not undermine the loss absorbency intended by Article 71(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation 2015/35;

• (d) does not result in a Trigger Event;
• (e) will not result in the Nominal Amount of the Bonds being greater than the Initial Nominal Amount and
• (f) is approved by the Issuer Supervisor, provided that any such approval is required pursuant to the Applicable Regulations.
• 3.7.7 Any Discretionary Reinstatement should be made on a pro rata basis among other Tier 1 Instruments that have been subject to a write-down. The maximum amount to be attributed to the sum of Discretionary Reinstatement of Tier 1 Instruments together with the payment of interest on the reduced amounts after Write Down shall be equal to the Relevant Profit multiplied by the amount obtained by dividing the amount determined in point (i) by the amount determined in point (ii):
  • (i) the sum of the nominal amount of all Tier 1 Instruments of the Issuer at the time of the Discretionary Reinstatement;
  • (ii) the total Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer.

Any Discretionary Reinstatement will be made on any Interest Payment Date based on the Issuer's audited annual accounts for the then most recent financial year

• 3.7.8 To the extent that only a part of the Nominal Amount has been Written Down as provided above on a pro rata basis cf. Clause 3.7.5, interest will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms hereof on the then Nominal Amount, subject to Clause 3.6 (Cancellation of Payments).
• 3.7.9 Any Discretionary Reinstatement pursuant to Clauses 3.7.6 and 3.7.7 shall be notified in accordance with Clause 8.3 as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days, following (i) the date on which the Issuer resolves to effect such Discretionary Reinstatement of the Nominal Amount and (ii) any approval by the Issuer Supervisor required by the Applicable Regulations has been obtained.
• 3.7.10 Discretionary Reinstatement may occur on one or more occasions until the Nominal Amount of the Bonds has been reinstated to the Initial Nominal Amount. Any decision by the Issuer to effect or not to effect any Discretionary Reinstatement on any occasion shall not preclude it from effecting or not effecting any Discretionary Reinstatement on any other occasion.
• 3.7.11 For the avoidance of doubt, Discretionary Reinstatement shall apply to the Bonds only if, and to the extent that, the Nominal Amount of the Bonds have been Written Down following the occurrence of a Trigger Event in accordance with the provisions of Clause 3.7.2 above. If at any time the Bonds are Written Down pursuant to Chapter 21 sub-chapter I of the Financial Undertakings Act, the Nominal Amount by which the Bonds are so written down pursuant to the Financial Undertakings Act shall not be reinstated (whether by way of Discretionary Reinstatement or otherwise) in any circumstances, and references herein to a Discretionary Reinstatement up to (or not exceeding) the Initial Nominal Amount shall be construed as the Nominal Amount following the Write Down.

• 3.8.5 If the Call Date occurs before ten (10) years after the Issue Date redemption may only be made if the Issuer's and the Issuer Group's Solvency Capital Requirement is exceeded by an appropriate margin taking into account the solvency position of the Issuer and the Issuer Group including the Issuer's medium-term capital management plan.

• 3.8.8 If a call is exercised, the Issuer shall on the settlement date of the call, subject to the provisions of Clause 3.8.7, pay in respect of each Bond the Nominal Amount to the Bondholders, together with any accrued and unpaid interest.
