The Tender Offer is subject to a maximum acceptance amount which
will be determined and announced by the Company in its sole and
absolute discretion as soon as reasonably practicable on 3
September 2020 (the "Maximum Acceptance Amount").
The Tender Price will be based on a purchase yield fixed at
-0.20% per cent.
The purpose of the Tender Offer and the planned issuance of New
Notes is, amongst other things, to proactively manage the Company's
hybrid portfolio while intending to maintain the aggregate size of
the stock of outstanding hybrid notes at around the same level.
It is expected that, following the New Issue and Tender Offer,
the Company's overall hybrid equity credit will remain
constant.
The Tender Offer will end at 17:00 hours CET on 2 September 2020
and its results will be announced on 3 September 2020 (subject to
changes as a result of any extension, withdrawal, termination,
re-opening or amendment of the Tender Offer).
