Extract – Important information

Before

Potential investors are invited to read this Information Memorandum (as defined below) and in particular the Terms and Conditions and the selling restrictions, prior to investing. Nevertheless, a decision to invest in the Certificates of Deposit should not be made on the sole basis of this Information Memorandum and should only be made (by the potential investor) after a careful analysis of all the features and risks of the Certificates of Deposit (including the ones relating to the Issuer), by taking into account its own financial, accounting and tax situation (and the possible related impacts of purchasing the Certificates of Deposit) and its own objectives, experience, financial and operational resources and other relevant circumstances and after having obtained all necessary information and advice from professional advisers (including legal, accounting and tax advisers) as the potential investor deems necessary. The potential investor should conduct its own analysis, using such assumptions as it deems appropriate and perform all the checks it deems necessary and should fully consider other available information, including any risk factor, in order to make an informed assessment of the Certificates of Deposit and of the Issuer and to make an independent determination of the suitability, risks and consequences of such instrument for the potential investor.

After

Before investing, you must determine whether it is suitable for you to do so and you must not make this determination on the sole basis of reading this Information Memorandum.

You must make your own independent and informed assessment of the Certificates of Deposit (as defined below), us and the suitability, risks and potential consequences of investing.

You must perform all checks you think are necessary and (without limitation):

  • read this Information Memorandum
  • carefully consider:

            - all of the features and risks of the Certificates of Deposit

            - the risks relating to the Issuer

            - your own financial, accounting and tax situation and the possible impact of investing in the Certificates of Deposit

            - your own objectives, experience, financial and operational resources and any other relevant circumstances

  • consult your professional advisers (including legal, accounting and tax  advisers)

Proximity between issuers and investors is increasingly crucial and it can be established from the very start by providing a legal document that is easy to read and understand, enabling them to make informed investment decisions.

The plain language translation represents a new approach to investor communication, embodying a different mindset that emphasises transparency and accessibility.
