Should a change in the Hedging Costs have occurred, then such Programme Preference Shareholder shall deliver a notice (“the Change in Hedging Cost Notice”) to the Issuer and state the change in the Margin (“Adjusted Margin”), calculated upwards or downwards to place the Programme Preference Shareholder in the same economic position in respect of the Programme Preference Shares as it would have been had the change in Hedging Costs not occurred.

The Issuer shall then be entitled to elect to: - pay the Adjusted Margin to the Programme Preference Shareholder from the date stipulated in the abovementioned certificate; or - on not less than 10 (ten) days’ revocable written notice to the Programme Preference Shareholder, redeem the Programme Preference Shares held by the Programme Preference Shareholder in full at the Early Redemption Amount (in which instance any accrued but unpaid Preference Dividends shall not take into account the Adjusted Margin). The applicable Record Date for the issuance of this Notice was 30 April 2021.
