“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.
“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a | |
| United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the notes, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by the Company, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to each note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of the principal thereof and interest thereon that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption; provided, however, that, if such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment thereon will be deemed to be reduced by the amount of interest accrued thereon to such redemption date.
The term “business day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York or The City of London are authorized or required by law or executive order to close. | ||
| Currency of Payment: | All payments of interest and principal, including any payments made upon any redemption of the notes, will be made in Sterling, or, if the United Kingdom adopts euro as its lawful currency, in euro. If Sterling or, in the event the notes are redenominated into euro, euro is unavailable to the Company due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Company’s control (including the dissolution of the euro), then all payments in respect of the notes will be made in U.S. dollars until Sterling or euro, as the case may be, is again available to the Company. | |
| Additional Amounts: | The Company will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, pay additional amounts on the notes as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Company of the principal of and interest on the notes to a holder who is not a United States person, after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United States or a taxing authority in the United States, will not be less than the amount provided in the notes to be then due and payable. | |
| Redemption for Tax Reasons: | The Company may offer to redeem all, but not less than all, of the notes in the event of certain changes in the tax laws of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States). This redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption. | |
| Listing: | The Company intends to apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange and expects trading in the notes to begin within 30 days after the date of their issuance. | |
