Enforceability of Judgments. Each Issuer and the Guarantor (where applicable) has submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England in the Conditions, Agency Agreement, the Guarantee and the Deed of Covenant. For as long as the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community dated 24 January 2020 (the “Withdrawal Agreement”) is in force, a final and conclusive judgment in civil or commercial matters obtained in the courts of England against the relevant Issuer and/or the Guarantor, which is enforceable in England and Wales, would be recognised and enforceable in Sweden, without re-examination or re-litigation of the matter, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Withdrawal Agreement. Once the Withdrawal Agreement is no longer in force and unless there is at such time an agreement in place between Sweden and the United Kingdom providing otherwise, a final judgment in civil or commercial matters obtained in the courts of England, against the relevant Issuer and/or the Guarantor, which is enforceable in England and Wales, will, in principle, neither be recognised nor enforceable in Sweden. However, if any Noteholder brings a new action in a competent court in Sweden, the final judgment rendered in an English court may be submitted to the Swedish court, but will only be regarded as evidence of the outcome of the dispute to which it relates, and the Swedish court has full discretion to rehear the dispute ab initio. Change of law The Conditions are based on English law and administrative practice in effect as at the date of this Offering Circular. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to English law or administrative practice after the date of this Offering Circular and any such change could materially adversely impact the value of any Notes affected by it. Furthermore, any change in either Issuer’s tax status (or that of other members of the Group) or taxation legislation or practice could affect the Issuers’ ability to provide returns to the Noteholders or alter post tax returns to the Noteholders. Commentaries in this Offering Circular concerning the taxation of investors in the Notes are based on current tax law and practice in Sweden and Ireland, respectively, which is subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. The taxation of an investment in either Issuer depends on the individual circumstances of i...
