Rationale for the Offer
The Offer is being made to manage the Offeror’s debt profile proactively and provide liquidity
for investors in the Notes.
Notes purchased by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer are expected to be cancelled and will not
be re-issued or re-sold. Notes which have not been validly submitted and/or accepted for
purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding.
Purchase Price
The Offeror will pay for any Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by it pursuant
to the Offer a purchase price for such Notes (the “Purchase Price”) to be determined at or
around 10.30 a.m. (London time) on 10 April 2025 (the “Pricing Time”) in the manner described
in the Tender Offer Memorandum by reference to the annualised sum (such annualised sum, the
“Purchase Yield”) of (i) the purchase spread of 160 bps (the “Purchase Spread”) and (ii) the
Benchmark Security Rate, as further described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.
Accrued Interest
The Offeror will also pay an Accrued Interest Payment in respect of any Notes accepted for
purchase pursuant to the Offer.
Final Acceptance Amount and Scaling
The Offeror proposes to accept Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer up to an aggregate
principal amount of £125,000,000 (the “Target Acceptance Amount”). However, the Offeror
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept significantly more or significantly less
than (or none of) the Target Acceptance Amount for purchase pursuant to the Offer (the final
aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer that the Offeror
decides, in its sole and absolute discretion, to accept for purchase, being the “Final
Acceptance Amount”).
If the Offeror decides to accept for purchase valid tenders of Notes pursuant to the Offer and
the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer is
greater than the Final Acceptance Amount, the Offeror intends to accept such validly tendered
Notes for purchase on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes
accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer is no greater than the Final Acceptance Amount
and, for the purpose of such acceptance, each such tender of Notes will be scaled by the
Scaling Factor, subject to potential rounding adjustments, as further described in the Tender
Offer Memorandum.
Tender Instructions
In order to participate in, and be eligible to receive the Purchase Price and the Accrued
Interest Payment pursuant to, the Offer, Holders must validly tender their Notes for purchase
by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that
is received by the Tender Agent by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 9 April 2025 unless extended,
re-opened, amended and/or terminated as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum (the
“Expiration Deadline”).
Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the
Tender Offer Memorandum.
Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum principal amount of Notes of no
less than £100,000 (being the minimum denomination of the Notes), and may be submitted in
