    For the purposes of this provision:
    “Capital Event” means a change in the regulatory classification of the Notes under the Relevant Rules that was not reasonably foreseeable by the Issuer at the Issue Date, and that would be likely to result in or has resulted in, the Notes being fully or partially excluded from the Tier 1 Capital of the Issuer. For the avoidance of doubt, a reduction in the amount of the Notes which are recognized as Additional Tier 1 Capital as a result of a change in the regulatory assessment of the minimum amount of Common Equity Tier 1 capital that would be generated if the principal amount of the Notes were fully written down, in accordance with Article 54(3) of the CRR (as defined in Condition 2 (Definitions and Interpretation)), shall not constitute a Capital Event
    “MREL or TLAC Disqualification Event” means a change in the classification of the Notes under the MREL or TLAC Requirements, that was not reasonably foreseeable by the Issuer at the Issue Date of the Notes, and that would be likely to result in or has resulted in the Notes being fully or partially excluded from the own funds or eligible liabilities available to meet the MREL or TLAC Requirements (as so called or defined by the then applicable laws and regulations or MREL or TLAC criteria applicable to the Issuer)
    “MREL or TLAC Requirements” means the minimum requirements for own funds and eligible liabilities and/or total loss-absorbing capacity requirements applicable to the Issuer and/or the Group referred to in the BRRD and CRD, or any other EU laws and regulations implemented in French laws and regulations and/or as set out in policies and/or principles of the SRB as the case may be, and/or as per the FSB TLAC Term Sheet dated 9 November 2015, as amended from time to time
    “Tax Event” means a Tax Deductibility Event, a Withholding Tax Event and/or a Gross-Up Event (each as defined in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c), respectively, of Condition 8.4 (Optional Redemption upon the occurrence of a Tax Event)), as the case may be
  • Clean-up Redemption Option: Subject to the provisions of Condition 8.9 (Conditions to redemption, purchase or cancellation), if at least 75 per cent. of the initial aggregate nominal amount of the Notes has been redeemed or purchased by, or on behalf of, the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries and, in each case, cancelled, the Issuer may, at any time, at its option, redeem the outstanding Notes (in whole, but not in part) at their Redemption Amount together, if appropriate, with accrued interest to (but excluding) the date of redemption
  • Cancellation of Interest: Fully discretionary, non-cumulative, in whole or in part. Mandatory Cancellation of Interest in case (i) of insufficient Distributable Items, ii) requested by the Regulator, or iii) such payment would cause the Maximum Distributable Amount to be exceeded
  • Loss Absorption and Return to Financial Health: The Current Principal Amount of the Notes will be written down if the Issuer’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio falls below 5.125% (on a consolidated basis). Following such reduction, the Current Principal Amount may, at the Issuer’s full discretion, be written back up if certain conditions are met. See Condition 7 (Loss Absorption and Return to Financial Health)
