DEFINITION

This qualified generic field specifies:

ADTX

Additional Text

Provides additional information or specifies in more detail the content of a message. This field may only be used when the information to be transmitted, cannot be coded.

COMP

Information to be Complied with

Provides information conditions to the account owner that are to be complied with, eg, not open to US/Canadian residents, QIB or SIL to be provided.

DISC

Disclaimer

Provides a disclaimer relative to the information provided in the message. It may be ignored for automated processing.

INCO

Information Conditions

Provides conditional information related to the event, eg, an offer is subject to 50% acceptance, the offeror allows the securities holder to set some conditions.

PACO

Party Narrative

Provides additional information regarding the party, eg, the contact unit or person responsible for the transaction identified in the message.

REGI

Registration Details

Provides information required for the registration.

TAXE

Taxation Conditions

Provides taxation conditions that cannot be included within the structured fields of this message.

WEBB

Web Site Address

Provides the web address published for the event, ie the address for the Universal Resource Locator (URL), eg, used over the www (HTTP) service.

NETWORK VALIDATED RULES

Narrative for option F of this field may contain any character defined in the 'z' SWIFT character set. This character set contains the characters from both the SWIFT 'x' and 'y' character sets plus the characters '@', '_' and '#'. The following contains a complete list of all characters permitted in the 'z' character set.

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

0123456789

. , - ( ) / + ' = : ? @ _ # Cr Lf Space { ! " % & * ; < >

USAGE RULES

Extreme caution must be exercised when using this field with format option F because all characters can be in a continuous string, ie, there are 'no number of characters per line' limitations. The characters (Cr) and (Lf) may stand alone, ie, empty lines are allowed.

Moreover, usage of the character strings, (CrLf:) or (CrLf-) in this data element will signal the premature 'start of the next field' or signal the 'end of message text' respectively.

If Format Option F is used, the concerned qualifier then becomes non-repetitive.

Unless bilaterally agreed, narrative field 70a must not contain information that can be provided in a structured field.
