TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

The trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Stelios Philanthropic Foundation ("the charitable company" or "the foundation") for the year ended 30 September 2024.

The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing documents, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

Policies and objectives

The foundation’s mission is to support a diverse range of charitable causes, primarily in places where the founder and his family have lived and worked: the UK and Ireland, Greece and Cyprus, Monaco and France.

The foundation maintains at least 5 websites in order to inform members of the public and potential beneficiaries of the ways it gives back to society:

stelios.org stelios.foundation steliosfoundation.gr steliosfoundation.com.cy stelios.mc

Moreover, it maintains several pages on LinkedIn under the main page:

www.linkedin.com/company/stelios-philanthropic-foundation/

Fundraising activities

The principal funding source for the charity is currently the donations from easyGroup Limited, Sir Stelios’s forprofit company and owner of the easy family of brands (www.easy.com and easyHistory. info). The cumulative total of the donations given by Sir Stelios or his various entities to the two charitable Foundations (the UK Foundation and its affiliated Foundation in Monaco) since 2010 amounts to £89 million pounds sterling or the equivalent of c €107 million euros (at the current exchange rate).

The foundation gives its support in the following ways:

  1. Helping the neediest people in Greece and Cyprus with "Food From The Heart". This program, started in 2013, offers each and every working day, without discrimination, snacks to people who register at our 12 distribution points and ask for them.

  2. Funding scholarships for young people to attend schools and universities, including but not limited to the ones where the founder was himself educated (Doukas High School in Athens, London School of Economics and City University in London).

  3. Promoting lasting peace on the island of Cyprus. Since 2007 we have offered several bi-communal awards to teams comprising one Turkish Cypriot and one Greek Cypriot, who are cooperating in business on the island as a way of building confidence between the two communities.

  4. Donating money to other charities with a diverse range of causes - mainly in the countries named in our mission statement as being close to home.

  5. Supporting entrepreneurs in the UK, Greece and Cyprus : We give cash grants to the most successful entrepreneurs who have started their own business in order to encourage the creation of more business start-ups which is the best way of creating new jobs in an economy.

STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

Public benefit statement

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charitable company’s aims and objectives in planning for the future and in setting the grant making policy for the year.

Strategic report

The description under the headings "Achievements and performance" and "Financial review" meet the company law requirements for the trustees to present a strategic report.

Achievements and performance

Review of activities

The year under review saw the continuation of the core activities of the charitable company and it is anticipated that income will exceed expenditure during the forthcoming year. The trustees are grateful for the substantial donations received from both individuals and organisations during the year.

Financial review

Review of the year

The trustees present the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024, which show incoming resources for the year of £16,954,657 and resources expended on charitable activities of £9,532,837, being charitable donations (£6,291,792) and charity costs (£3,241,045). The overall movement in fund balances for the year was an increase of £7,421,820.

Going concern

The Foundation has sufficient resources so that it can discharge its liabilities for at least a year from the date the financial statements are approved and ensure adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

Reserves policy

As at 30 September 2024 unrestricted reserves amounted to £24,124,603. The trustees have adopted a policy to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charitable company, at a level which equates to approximately 12 months unrestricted expenditure and donations by each year end.

In addition, and following the change of the articles of association with a new investment policy adopted on 10 April 2024, the charitable company will invest its surplus funds in order to generate its own recurring income from which it can fund future donations.

Since 26 July 2019, when the charitable company adopted revised articles of association stipulating that certain properties should be retained in perpetuity by the foundation, the net book value of these properties is represented in endowment funds.

Plans for future periods

Future developments

The charitable company plans to continue to donate funds in accordance with its policies in the foreseeable future.

Structure, governance and management

Constitution

The company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated on 16 March 2011 under the charity number 1141206. The governing documents are the updated memorandum and articles of association adopted on 10 April 2024.

STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Stelios Philanthropic Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Our audit approach was developed by obtaining an understanding of the charity’s activities, the key functions and the overall control environment. Based on this understanding we assessed those aspects of the charity’s transactions and balances which were most likely to give rise to a material misstatement and were most susceptible to irregularities including fraud or error. Specifically, we identified what we considered to be key audit risks and planned our audit approach accordingly. Included in these key audit risks was management override of controls with respect to expenditure recognition and payment, improper accounting for transactions in foreign currencies, and inappropriate revenue recognition procedures.

We applied professional scepticism and designed audit procedures to respond to the risks, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion.

In responding to the risk of management override, we analysed the implementation and effectiveness of authorisation controls in place for online bank payments, as well as performing journal testing and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by key management personnel in developing accounting estimates and in applying accounting policies. To assess the appropriateness of revenue recognition we have obtained comfort letters and reviewed year-end bank payments to confirm proper cut-off. The risk of inappropriate accounting for foreign transactions was mitigated through the recalculation of various expenditure transactions tested throughout the audit at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date, and the retranslation of significant monetary assets and liabilities at the year-end spot rate.

STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. The further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Appropriate enquiry was made of senior management as to whether there had been any identified or suspected fraudulent activities or non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations during the period. The minutes of trustee meetings were also reviewed to identify any indicators of non-compliance with laws and regulations and potential or suspected fraud that could lead to a material misstatement in the financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

STELIOS PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Stelios Philanthropic Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 34 Thurloe Square, South Kensington, London, SW7 2SR. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

The Foundation has sufficient available resources to discharge its obligations for at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements and ensure adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There are no material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that cast significant doubt upon the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Endowment funds represent assets held by the charitable company that are intended for use in perpetuity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity obtains legal entitlement for such income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Cash donations and other donations, including donations in kind, are included in the charity's accounts when received, provided the value of the donation can be measured reliably.

The value to the charity of donated assets is the amount that the charity would pay in the open market for an alternative assets that would provide a benefit to the charity equivalent to the donated item. For donated land and buildings, this is the land registry property value on the date of transfer.

Investment income is earned from holding assets and, as disclosed in Note 18, selling derivative financial instruments for investment purposes. Investment income includes interest accrued on surplus funds and premiums received on the sale of put options. These amounts are recognised when earned and are used in the ordinary charitable activities of the charity.

Income from charitable activities relates to rental income from the leasing of Cine Paris, an open-air cinema located on the rooftop of the charity's Plaka conference hall. Rental amounts are recognised when earned and are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation of 3% to compensate for the charity's expected inflationary cost increases.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charitable company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities are costs incurred on the charitable company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line
Property improvements 10% - 20% straight line
Plant and equipment 33.3% straight line
Fixtures and fittings 33.3% straight line
Office equipment 33.3% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets include other debtors and prepayments. Other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after consideration of any trade discounts offered, Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure), except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Basic financial liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of such settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it may provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

Other financial liabilities

Derivatives, including options, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in finance costs or finance income as appropriate.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

(Continued)

1.10 Taxation

Stelios Philanthropic Foundation is a registered charity and, as such, its income and gains falling within Sections 466 to 493 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 are exempt from corporation tax to the extent that they are applied to its charitable objectives.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.12 Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are recognised in the statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure accounts.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

4 Donations and legacies

(Continued)

Donations in kind relate to the transfer of the Klelia 1 Yacht from Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou to the foundation for use in BCA College's Yacht Chef programme and Omega Yachting Academy Yacht Skipper scholarships, for which the charity sponsors a number of scholarships annually. This asset is not permanent endowment.

www.linkedin.com/showcase/my-klelia-1

www.bca.edu.gr/en/executive-education/yacht-chef-certificate-2024-25 omega.gr

The donation has been recognised within the foundation's accounts once received and is measured at fair value. The Klelia 1 is not seaworthy but remains idle in the same marina Zeas in Piraeus, Greece, where she has been since 1976 when it was owned by Sir Stelios' late Father, Loucas, as his first yacht. Therefore its fair value cannot be measured based on observable active market transactions or market information. The asset's fair value is instead deemed to be the higher of its salvage value and the value it holds in current use as a training facility.

The Trustees estimate that the cost of dismantling and delivering the metal and components as scrap would either outweigh the value of the metal sold, or produce a highly immaterial gain on disposal. Conversely, the Trustees have confirmed that the annual mooring fees, insurance costs, and general maintenance and running costs of owning and making available the yacht for charitable purposes far exceeds the costs the charity would incur in providing an acceptable alternative training facility to BCA College and Omega Yachting Academy.

The value to the Foundation of paying the costs of the Klelia 1 is also the free publicity and brand awareness in the maritime communities of Greece where Sir Stelios and his father started their career.

Therefore, the yacht is deemed to have no material salvage value and no material value in use, and, for transparency, the donation in kind has been recognised at the nominal value of £1.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

18 Derivatives

At period end, in accordance with the powers of the charitable company granted under the Articles of Association, adopted 10 April 2024, the entity has pledged surplus cash of circa £14.3m as a security for the sale of put options on exchange traded funds (ISF.LN) which tracks the FTSE 100 index in consideration for cash premiums. These derivative financial instruments fall under the scope of FRS102:12 and will initially be recognised at cost, which is invariably nil, and subsequently at fair value through profit or loss. As at periodend, the put options sold, but not matured, are out-of-the-money and are deemed to have zero cost and zero fair value, with any time value being immaterial. This assessment of fair value has been made using quoted prices available at the London Stock Exchange.

In the event of the share options being exercised, the charity would utilise its pledged cash deposits to purchase the equivalent value of the exchange traded funds at the strike price. The entity would then hold the shares and collect dividends until the value increases. Once the price has sufficiently increased, the entity would sell call options to give a counterparty the right to buy such shares at a price which would represent a realised capital gain of the charity. No share options were exercised during the period and the entity holds no exchange traded funds.

The charity's investment strategy is intended to generate a return comprising interest generated on cash deposits held with banks, including cash pledged as security, premiums earned from the sale of options, dividend income from exchange traded funds held, and realised capital gains deriving from the exercise of call options.

You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.

Withdrawing your consent

If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically is described below.

Consequences of changing your mind

If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from us.

All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
