Regulatory Ratio: Means the Solo SCR Ratio, the Group SCR Ratio, the Solo MCR Ratio and the Group MCR Ratio
Principal Write-Down: Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event or a Deterioration Event, the Prevailing Principal Amount of each Note shall be fully written down to US$0.01. However, if only one or more Special Trigger Events, but no other Trigger Event, have occurred, the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, exceptionally elect to refrain from a write-down in full or in part, to the extent permitted under the then applicable requirements for the recognition of subordinated debt instruments as Restricted Tier 1 Instruments in accordance with the Solvency II Directive, which may, inter alia, be subject to the approval of the Competent Supervisory Authority. The Notes may be written down on more than one occasion
Principal Write-Up: The Notes may be written up at the Issuer's sole discretion if (i) each Regulatory Ratio is above 100 per cent (at time of write-up and for the preceding financial year), the write-up would not cause any Regulatory Ratio to decline to/below 100 per cent and there is no imminent risk that any Regulatory Ratio declines to 100 per cent or less within the next 3 months after the write-up (ii) the net income of the Issuer of the immediately preceding financial year (to be determined on the basis of a pro forma calculation) is sufficient for a write-up (iii) loss absorbency is not undermined (iv) such write-up would not hinder recapitalisation, and (v) no Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings are ongoing
Reference Principal Amount: At the issue date and in the absence of any write down, the Reference Principal Amount equals the Initial Principal Amount of US$200k per Note.

A Note that was previously written down can, at any time, only be written up to a maximum principal amount equal to its then prevailing Reference Principal Amount
