General Information
Additional Information Regarding the Notes
1. Matters relating to UK MiFIR
The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR
regime. Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm",
"manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of UK MiFIR.
UK MiFIR product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and
ECPs target market - Solely for the purposes of each UK manufacturer's product
approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led
to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is retail clients,
as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it
forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, eligible counterparties,
as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii)
all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate, including
investment advice, portfolio management, non-advised sales and pure execution
services. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes
(a "distributor") should take into consideration the UK manufacturers' target
market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product
Governance Rules is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the UK
manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate
distribution channels, subject to the distributor's suitability and
appropriateness obligations under COBS, as applicable.
For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK manufacturers"
means Merrill Lynch International and Citigroup Global Markets Limited (ii)
the expression "COBS" means the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook,
(iii) the expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms
part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv) the expression "UK
MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA Handbook Product Intervention
and Product Governance Sourcebook.
2. The language set out under the heading "Use of Proceeds" in
the Prospectus shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
The Bank's mission is to improve lives in Latin America
and the Caribbean countries by contributing to the acceleration of the process
of economic and social development and by supporting efforts to reduce poverty
and inequality in a sustainable, climate friendly way. All projects undertaken
by the Bank go through the Bank's rigorous sustainability framework. The
framework tracks measurable results, adherence to lending targets and the
effectiveness of its environmental and social safeguards.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be
included in the ordinary capital resources of the Bank, used in its ordinary
operations, and will not be committed or earmarked for lending to, or
financing of, any specific loans, projects, or programs.
The Bank's administrative and operating expenses are
currently covered entirely by the Bank's various sources of revenue,
consisting primarily of net interest margin and investment income (as more
fully described in the Information Statement).
3. Additional Investment Considerations
Although the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes
will be included in the ordinary capital resources of the Bank, used in its
ordinary operations, the Notes may not satisfy an investor's requirements if
the investor seeks to invest in assets with certain sustainability
characteristics. No assurance is or can be given to investors that the use
of proceeds will satisfy, whether in whole or in part, any present or future
investor expectations or requirements regarding any investment criteria or
guidelines applicable to any investor or its investments. In addition, no
assurance is or can be given to investors that any projects undertaken by the
Bank will meet any or all investor expectations regarding "sustainable" or
other equivalently-labelled performance objectives or that any adverse
environmental, social and/or other impacts will not occur during the
implementation by the borrower or any other implementing entity of any
projects. Furthermore, it should be noted that there is currently no
clearly-defined definition (legal, regulatory or otherwise) of, nor market
consensus as to what constitutes, a "sustainable" or an equivalently-labelled
project or as to what precise attributes are required for a particular project
to be defined as "sustainable" or such other equivalent label and if developed
in the future, Notes may not comply with any such definition or label.
There can be no assurance that the net proceeds from the sale of any
particular tranche of Notes will be totally or partially disbursed for any
projects undertaken by the Bank within the term of such Notes. Not all
projects undertaken by the Bank will be completed within the specified period
or with the results or outcome as originally expected or anticipated by the
Bank and some planned projects might not be completed at all. Each potential
purchaser of the Notes should determine for itself the relevance of the
information contained in this Prospectus regarding the use of proceeds and its
purchase of the Notes should be based upon such investigation as it deems
necessary.
