Understanding the Redemption Process
The Issuer has confirmed that the redemption of these notes will be conducted under specific terms set in the relevant documentation. Under Condition 7(e), which deals with redemption at the option of the Issuer, the redemption amount will be payable in full on October 12, 2025.
Notably, this date is essential as it marks the conclusion of the term for these notes. In adherence to the defined terms, should this date fall on a non-business day, the payment will then be made on the next business day, which would be October 13, 2025.
