"Rationale for the Offer
The Offer is being made as part of the Borrower’s liability management programme to optimise debt maturities in respect of certain of the Borrower’s financing arrangements, as well as to facilitate investors in the New Notes to switch between holdings of the note sub-classes of the Issuer. The Issuer intends to issue the New Notes, which are expected to be issued on or about 22 May 2024, subject to market conditions. Noteholders who have subscribed for and been allocated New Notes in addition to tendering their Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer can, where the nominal amount of New Notes to be issued is less than the nominal amount outstanding in respect of the Notes, receive Priority of Acceptance (over those who have not subscribed for and been allocated New Notes) through the use of an Acceptance Code for the acceptance of their Notes in the Offer. Whether the Borrower will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is subject, without limitation, to the New Financing Condition.
Proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes will be used for purchasing the Notes in the Offer. Notes purchased by the Borrower pursuant to the Offer will be surrendered to the Issuer for cancellation and will not be re-issued or re-sold. Notes which have not been validly offered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding, subject to the Notes Conditions.
The Offer also provides Noteholders with the opportunity to sell their Notes ahead of the next potential Optional Redemption Date, being the next Interest Payment Date on 31 July 2024. Should the Issuer exercise an Optional Redemption of the Notes, the earliest date that notice of such redemption can be provided is 3 June 2024."
