qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive; or (b) in any other
circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive. For the
purposes of this paragraph, the expression an ”offer of securities to the
public” means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient

as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the
Prospectus Directive in that Member State and the expression ”Prospectus
