Eileme 1 may, at any time, make prepayments of the entire or part of the principal amount and/or interest, subject to two business days' prior notice.

The funds transferred from Metelem to Eileme 1 came from the share capital increase in Metelem, of which the Company gave notice in its current report No. 50/2014 of 23 May 2014.
