Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA ) under Part VI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the FSMA ) for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List of the FCA and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the London Stock Exchange ) for the Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s regulated market (the Market ). References in this Prospectus to the Notes being listed (and all related references) shall mean that the Notes have been admitted to the Official List and have been admitted to trading on the Market. The Market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/ EC), as amended ( MiFID II ). This Prospectus has been approved by the FCA as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 of 14 March 2019 (the Prospectus Regulation ). The FCA only approves this Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of either the Issuer or the Guarantor or the quality of the Notes that are the subject of this Prospectus and investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes. An investment in the Notes involves certain risks. Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus. The Prospectus does not describe all of the risks of an investment in the Notes. It is expected that the Notes will be rated BBB+ by Fitch Ratings Limited ( Fitch ), Baa1 by Moody’s Investors Service Limited ( Moody’s ) and BBB+ by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ( S&P ). Each of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P is established in the European Union and is registered under the Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009, as amended. 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 Notes will be issued in bearer form in the denominations of €100,000 and integral multiples of €1,000 in excess thereof, up to and including €199,000. The Notes are intended to be in new global note form and will initially be represented in each case by a temporary global note (the Temporary Global Note ), without interest coupons, which will be deposited on or about 10 March 2020 (the Closing Date ) with a common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ( Euroclear ) and Clearstream Banking S.A. ( Clearstream, Luxembourg and, together with Euroclear, the ICSDs ). Interests in the Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent global note (in each case the Permanent Global Note and, together with the Temporary Global Note, the Global Notes ), without interest coupons, on or after 19 April 2020 (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 “Summary of Provisions relating to the Notes while represented by the Global Notes ”. The Notes are intended to be held in a manner which will allow Eurosystem eligibility. This means that the Notes are intended upon issue to be deposited with one of the ICSDs as common safekeeper and does not necessarily mean that the Notes will be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria.

  • Enriching Chemistry Database Content with Human-Like Indexing of Documents
    WHITE PAPER Enriching Chemistry Database Content with Human-Like Indexing Of Documents APPLYING THE POWER OF A TAXONOMY WITH 450 MILLION TERMS Taxonomies are used to index content in databases, making facts and literature discoverable. The size of some taxonomies can make this task daunting. A comprehensive taxonomy to describe chemistry uses roughly 450 million terms, making it ~450 times the size of the English language and ~150 times the size of the next nearest discipline-specific taxonomy. To ensure that Reaxys® fully facilitates discoverability in the far-reaching and complex discipline of chemistry, two processes occur alongside each other: the familiar manual indexing and excerption method; and a novel automatic but human-like indexing process. How can the content in a large and diverse database be made highly discoverable? The English language has over 1 million words. How many do you think the average person can recognize? The online survey TestYourVocab.com enables visitors to test the size of their English vocabulary. The results reveal interesting trends. Data on roughly 450,000 native English speakers shows that most adult survey participants have a vocabulary size of 20,000 to 35,000 words. These are words that they can recognize and define. Topping the charts were individuals who came near 40,000 words. While these figures do not represent the average English-speaking population—it takes a certain type of person to respond to such surveys—and may be biased by the data collection methodology, the survey results hint at an upper limit to the word and concept retention capacity of the human brain.
