For Solvency 2 RT1 debt, that has no step-up, the undated nature of the instrument is retained for the purpose of this diagram. This should not be construed, nor relied upon, as an indication that the instrument will not be called for redemption when callable. Such decision will depend on several factors, including our capital and liquidity position and the refinancing economics at the prevailing time.
