PRIIPs Regulation/Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
The securities referred to on the following website are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling such securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling such securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
UK PRIIPs Regulation/Prohibition of Sales to United Kingdom Retail Investors
