  “MREL/TLAC Disqualification event” means at any time that all or part of the outstanding nominal amount of the Notes does not fully qualify as MREL/TLAC-Eligible Instruments, except where such non-qualification was reasonably foreseeable at the Issue Date or is due to the remaining maturity of such Notes being less than any period prescribed by the Applicable MREL/TLAC Regulations.
