Subject to the Securitisation Law, the Issuer acting through a distinctive Compartment will apply the net proceeds of an issue of Notes of any given Series to purchase or otherwise acquire the assets specified in the Final Terms of such Series (and to pay for or enter into any ancillary transaction in connection with the issue of such Notes or acquisition of such assets) as well as towards paying general expenses in connection with the administration of the Issuer, the issue of the Notes or acquisition of the Underlying Assets as described in the relevant Final Terms as described in the relevant Final Terms.
The expenses of the Issuer, including all fees payable to the Paying Agent, the Security Trustee and other parties, will in principle be met on a Series-by-Series basis.
The Issuer may enter into “true sale” securitisation(s) and “synthetic” securitization(s) as specified in the Final Terms by which the Issuer will acquire or assume, directly or through another undertaking, risks relating to claims, other assets, or obligations assumed by third parties or inherent to all or part of the activities of third parties and issue Notes, whose value or yield depends on such risks.
The Issuer may at any time hedge or cover the risks linked with the Underlying Assets by using derivative products.
The Issuer may also choose to replicate an Index or an investment strategy developed, created or managed by a third-party Index Provider.
As described in the relevant Final Terms, the Issuer may not have recourse to loan, borrowing nor use any leverage to enhance the performance of a Compartment and it may borrow to create necessary liquidity or due to unexpected reasons in order to achieve a Securitisation Transaction’s objective.
Depending on which type of allocation of each Series of Notes, the Issuer will end the securitisation transaction following one of these rules:
if the Issuer has invested into one or several specific Non-Fungible Assets as specified in the Final Terms: In such a case the Issuer will keep such Non-Fungible Asset(s) for the whole duration of the Series of Notes until the Maturity Date or the Redemption Date and the Issuer will use the proceeds of the disposal of such asset(s) to redeem the Series of Notes, or
if the Issuer has invested into a specific asset class/allocation of which the assets are fungible: If some Underlying Assets reach maturity before the Maturity Date of the Series of Notes, the Issuer will keep a constant exposure to this specific asset class/allocation for the whole duration of the securitization transaction by replenishing the Compartment with the same fungible Underlying Assets. The Issuer will dispose of the Underlying Assets to create liquidity to redeem the Series of Notes near their Maturity Date, or
if the Issuer will be required to invest in a portfolio of specific assets or track or replicate a specific Index as specified in the Final Terms: it will keep them till maturity, modify, rebalance or substitute the exposure to this portfolio of assets as indicated by the Index Provider and dispose of them near the Maturity Date of the Series of Notes. The Issuer will then use the proceeds of the sales of these assets to reimburse the Noteholders.
Should the Issuer be forced to create liquidity to allow an early redemption of a whole or part of a Series of Notes, the Issuer may decide to charge an anti-dilution levy if the disposal of the Underlying Assets has caused a loss for the remaining Noteholders of the same Compartment.
