Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the CSSF) in its capacity as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005, as amended (the Luxembourg Act) on prospectuses for securities to approve this document as a prospectus and to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the listing of the New Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admission to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s regulated market. The CSSF assumes no responsibility for the economic and financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Prospectus or the quality or solvency of the Issuer in accordance with Article 7(7) of the Luxembourg Act. References in this Prospectus to Notes or the New Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes or New Notes (as the case may be) have been admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC). The Existing Notes were rated “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc. (S&P) and the New Notes are also rated “BBB+” by S&P. S&P is established in the European Union and is registered under the Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the CRA Regulation). As such, S&P is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website (at http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the CRA Regulation. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organisation. The New Notes will be issued in new global note (NGN) form and are intended to constitute eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy, provided the other eligibility criteria are met. The New Notes will be in bearer form and will initially be represented by a temporary global note (the Temporary Global Note), without interest coupons, which will be deposited on or prior to 23 December 2014 (the Closing Date and the Issue Date) with a common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg). Interests in the Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent global note (the Permanent Global Note and, together with the Temporary Global Note, the Global Notes), without interest coupons, on or after a date which is expected to be 2 February 2015 (the Exchange Date), upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. Interests in the Permanent Global Note will be exchangeable for definitive Notes only in certain limited circumstances (see “Overview of Provisions relating to the Notes while represented by the Global Notes”). An investment in Notes involves certain risks. Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 4. Manager Morgan Stanley The date of this Prospectus is 19 December 2014. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Risk Factors 4 Important Information 13 Documents Incorporated by Reference 15 Conditions of the Notes 17 Overview of Provisions relating to the Notes while represented by the Global Notes 32 Use of Proceeds 35 Description of the Issuer 36 Taxation 86 Subscription and Sale 95 General Information 98 _______________________ 3 RISK FACTORS In purchasing New Notes, investors assume the risk that the Issuer may become insolvent or otherwise be unable to make all payments due in respect of the Notes. There is a wide range of factors which individually or together could result in the Issuer becoming unable to make all payments due in respect of the Notes. It is not possible to identify all such factors or to determine which factors are most likely to occur, as the Issuer may not be aware of all relevant factors and certain factors which it currently deems not to be material may become material as a result of the occurrence of events outside the Issuer's control. The Issuer has identified in this Prospectus a number of factors which could materially adversely affect its business and ability to make payments due under the Notes. In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the Notes are also described below. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision. Factors that may affect the Issuer’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the Notes Risks relating to the business, operations and profitability of the Issuer The Issuer is an investment company, and the composition of its investment portfolio may vary substantially from time to time. Maintaining long-term ownership in holdings and a flow of investments and divestments in new investment activities involves commercial risk, such as having a high exposure to a certain industry or an individual holding, changed market conditions for finding attractive investment candidates, or barriers that arise and prevent exit from a holding at the chosen time. The Issuer is an investment company without any significant operating business of its own and, accordingly, the Issuer’s financial condition depends upon the results of its investment activities, including the receipt of funds by other members of the Group (as defined in Condition 10(2)). The ability of the subsidiaries to make such payments (in the form of dividends and intercompany payments) depends on their economic performance and financial condition. No assurance can be given that the Issuer will receive adequate funding to maintain its financial condition. These factors could materially and adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to make payments on the Notes. Risks relating to acquisitions In contemplating its investments, the Issuer has to date focused on keeping its leverage within the ratings currently assigned to it. There is no assurance, however, that any current or future investments, if made, will not adversely impact on the Issuer’s financial position in the short and/or medium term and on its corporate credit rating. Risks relating to the Issuer’s investment portfolio The investment portfolio of the Issuer is continuously monitored and analysed by the Issuer, including through rights of corporate governance (e.g. board representation) and through constant dialogue with the companies’ management. However, regardless of the size of its investment, the Issuer does not directly intervene in the management of the companies and seeks to preserve their operational independence. No assurance can be given in relation to the future performance of the Issuer’s investment portfolio nor that the Issuer’s investment portfolio will not vary substantially from time to time nor that the 4 Issuer, given its nature as an investment company, will not increase its holdings in current investments or may not dispose in whole or in part of any of its investments, including any of its principal investment holdings (i.e. CNH Industrial, FCA and C&W), despite the classification of the investments contained in any corporate communication of the Issuer. Risks relating to the structure of the Group Generally, any claims in respect of indebtedness incurred, and guarantees issued, by a subsidiary, and claims of preference shareholders (if any) of such subsidiary, will rank prior to any claims of the creditors of its parent company (the Issuer) with respect to the assets and earnings of such subsidiary.

  • Introduction of “Split Payment” Regulations for RCC Service Invoices
    Market Notice 11 August 2017 MN_61/2017 Introduction of “Split Payment” regulations for RCC service invoices For the attention of: Intermediaries Priority: High Re: Invoicing of RCC charges Dear Client, Please note that following the publication of the Ministry of Economy and Finance Decree of 13 July 2017 in Official Gazette No. 171 of 24 July 2017, which amends the implementing regulations for the splitting of payments for VAT purposes (Article 17-ter, Presidential Decree No. 633/1972) in invoices payable as of 1 July 2017, the RCC fees invoicing application for issuer companies included in the list of listed companies in the FTSE MIB Index published by the Ministry of Economy and Finance (link) must be adapted to the new provisions. The Monte Titoli application is currently in the process of modification and therefore data indicated in the invoicing documentation issued by intermediaries to the issuers concerned (see the list below) in the period 1 July - 10 August is not consistent with the instructions in the Decree. Pending the adaption of the application, and in order to avoid issuing incorrect documents, the invoice request function has been temporarily suspended exclusively for sums due from Issuers to which the aforementioned Decree applies. It should be recalled that the RCC application allows the recovery of sums in suspension without time limits. Monte Titoli shall promptly inform clients by means of Market Notice when the application has been adapted. 1 Market Notice 11 August 2017 MN_61/2017 We apologise for this temporary inconvenience.

  • Transition Effects from the Initial Adoption of IFRS 9 by Italian and German Blue Chip Companies
    Journal of Modern Accounting and Auditing, November 2020, Vol. 16, No.11, 467-483 doi: 10.17265/1548-6583/2020.11.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Transition Effects from the Initial Adoption of IFRS 9 by Italian and German Blue Chip Companies Knut Henkel University of Applied Sciences, Emden/Leer, Emden, Germany Marvin Bürger NORD/LB Norddeutsche Landesbank - Girozentrale -, Hanover, Germany For the financial years from 2018, the new standard for accounting of financial instruments, IFRS 9, was applicable for the first time. Various questions arose in connection with the transition. For example, how high would the resulting transition effect be on equity? Another aspect related to the question of the extent to which the fair value measurement (through profit or loss) would increase. It is also of interest whether the previously presented IFRS 9 changes are classifiable as being material. Through the analysis of the financial statements of FTSE MIB and DAX 30 companies that were prepared for the first time in accordance with IFRS 9 in the year 2018, answers are given in this article to the aforementioned questions and a comparison is made regarding the extent to which national differences or commonalities existed. In the overall view of the absolute change in equity, for the FTSE MIB companies, a mean value of € - 3.03 million was calculated and for the DAX 30 companies, € - 34.29 million. The equity ratio (median), however, only declined marginally in percentage points with the FTSE MIB companies (-0.07), as well as with the DAX 30 companies (-0.02). With regard to the migration of financial assets, it has been shown that the accounting and measurement of more than 90% of financial assets of the FTSE MIB and DAX 30 companies have not changed.
