The applicable Purchase Price for each Applicable Denomination in original principal amount of the relevant Securityshall in no circumstances be less than the Minimum Purchase Price. The highest Purchase Price UniCredit will pay for any Security validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the relevant Invitation will be the lowest price among the prices received for such relevant Security per Applicable Denomination in original principal amount of such Security that will allow UniCredit to accept for purchase up to the Tender Cap in respect of such relevant Security.
