information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the
"EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available

FSMA and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance
Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client, as defined in point (8) of the Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms
part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key information
document required by the EU PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law
by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the
securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the
UK PRIIPs Regulation.
