Fixed to Floating Rate Notes financial

"EUR1,250,000,000 4.086% Fixed to Floating Rate Notes due 2036"

Floating Rate Notes financial

"EUR1,000,000,000 Floating Rate Notes due 2029"

Floating rate notes are debt securities that pay interest that adjusts periodically based on a short-term interest benchmark (for example, LIBOR or SOFR), so the cash interest you receive goes up or down with market rates. For investors they act like an adjustable-rate loan: they help protect income when overall interest rates rise and generally lose less value than fixed-rate bonds when rates move, making them useful for managing interest-rate risk.

Debt Issuance Programme financial

"the Notes have been issued, are available for viewing under its Debt Issuance Programme"

Prospectus Rules regulatory

"In accordance with PRM 1.5.2R and PRM 1.5.3R of the FCA's Handbook Prospectus Rules"

Regulation S regulatory

"persons, as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act"

Regulation S is a set of rules that allows companies to sell securities (like shares or bonds) to investors outside the United States without having to follow all U.S. securities laws. It matters because it makes it easier for companies to raise money from international investors while still complying with U.S. regulations.
