EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This is not a part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations prescribe six jurisdictions as relevant jurisdictions for the purposes of the inward migrating funds mechanism contained in the Companies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 .

That mechanism allows certain collective investment fund entities currently based in relevant jurisdictions to apply to migrate their registered offices to Ireland without firstly having to wind up in their current jurisdiction.
