IMPORTANT NOTICE:

This prospectus (the "Prospectus") has been prepared by Icelandair Group hf. (the "Issuer", or the "Company" or together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated by the context, the "Group"), a public limited liability company incorporated in Iceland, having its headquarters located at the address, Reykjavik Airport, 101 Reykjavik Iceland, with reg. no. 631205-1780, in relation to the application for the listing of the senior unsecured floating rate bonds denominated in USD (the "Bonds") on the corporate bond list on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm Aktiebolag, reg. no. 556420-8394 ("Nasdaq Stockholm"). Pareto Securities AB has acted as sole bookrunner in connection with the issue of the Bonds (the "Sole Bookrunner"). This Prospectus has been prepared in accordance with the standards and requirements of the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act (Sw. lag (1991:980) om handel med finansiella instrument) (the "Trading Act") and the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 of 29 April 2004 implementing Directive 2003/71/EC as amended by the Directive 2010/73/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (the "Prospectus Regulation"). The Prospectus has been approved and registered by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority (Sw. Finansinspektionen) (the "SFSA") pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 2, Sections 25 and 26 of the Trading Act. Approval and registration by the SFSA does not imply that the SFSA guarantees that the factual information provided in this Prospectus is correct and complete. This Prospectus has been prepared in English only and is governed by Swedish law and the courts of Sweden have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Prospectus. This Prospectus is available at the SFSA's website (www.fi.se) and the Issuer's website (http://www.icelandairgroup.is/).

Unless otherwise stated or required by context, terms defined in the terms and conditions for the Bonds beginning on page 58 (the "Terms and Conditions") shall have the same meaning when used in this Prospectus.

Except where expressly stated otherwise, no information in this Prospectus has been reviewed or audited by the Company's auditor. Certain financial and other numerical information set forth in this Prospectus has been subject to rounding and, as a result, the numerical figures shown as totals in this Prospectus may vary slightly from the exact arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them. This Prospectus shall be read together with all documents incorporated by reference in, and any supplements to, this Prospectus. In this Prospectus references to "ISK" refer to Icelandic krona and references to "USD" refer to American Dollars.

Investing in bonds is not appropriate for all investors. Each investor should therefore evaluate the suitability of an investment in the Bonds in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each investor should:

(a) have sufficient knowledge and experience to carry out an effective evaluation of (i) the Bonds, (ii) the merits and risks of investing in the Bonds, and (iii) the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any supplements;
(b) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate in the context of its particular financial situation the investment in the Bonds and the impact that such investment will have on the investor's overall investment portfolio;
(c) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks resulting from an investment in the Bonds, including where principal or interest is payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the investor's own currency;
(d) understand thoroughly the Terms and Conditions and the other Finance Documents and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and
(e) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the assistance of a financial adviser) possible scenarios relating to the economy, interest rates and other factors that may affect the investment and the investor's ability to bear the risks.

This Prospectus is not an offer for sale or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Bonds in any jurisdiction. It has been prepared solely for the purpose of listing the Bonds on the corporate bond list on Nasdaq Stockholm. This Prospectus may not be distributed in or into any country where such distribution or disposal would require any additional prospectus, registration or additional measures or contrary to the rules and regulations of such jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes or persons who acquire the Bonds are therefore required to inform themselves about, and to observe, such restrictions. The Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Bonds are being offered and sold outside the United States to purchasers who are not, or are not purchasing for the account of, U.S. persons in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act. In addition, until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the closing date, an offer or sale of the Bonds within the United States by a dealer may violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act if such offer or sale of the Bonds within the United States by a dealer may violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

The offering is not made to individuals domiciled in Australia, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, the Italian Republic, New Zealand, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States (or to any U.S person), or in any other country where the offering, sale and delivery of the Bonds may be restricted by law.

This Prospectus may contain forward-looking statements and assumptions regarding future market conditions, operations and results. Such forward-looking statements and information are based on the beliefs of the Company's management or are assumptions based on information available to the Group. The words "considers", "intends", "deems", "expects", "anticipates", "plans" and similar expressions indicate some of these forward-looking statements. Other such statements may be identified from the context. Any forward-looking statements in this Prospectus involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Group to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Further, such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Group's present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Group will operate in the future. Although the Company believes that the forecasts of, or indications of future results, performances and achievements are based on reasonable assumptions and expectations, they involve uncertainties and are subject to certain risks, the occurrence of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements and from past results, performances or achievements. Further, actual events and financial outcomes may differ significantly from what is described in such statements as a result of the materialisation of risks and other factors affecting the Group's operations. Such factors of a significant nature are mentioned in the section "Risk factors" below.

This Prospectus shall be read together with all documents that are incorporated by reference, see subsection "Documents incorporated by reference" under section "Other information" below, and possible supplements to this Prospectus.

SUMMARY

This summary is made up of disclosure requirements known as "Sections". These Sections are numbered in sections A–E (A.1–E.7).

This summary contains all the Sections required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and issuer. Because some Sections are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Sections.

Even though an Section may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Section. In this case a short description of the Section is included in the summary with the mention of "not applicable".

SECTION A – INTRODUCTION AND WARNINGS
A.1 Introduction and warnings: This summary should be read as an introduction to the Prospectus. Any decision to invest in the securities should be based on consideration of the Prospectus as a whole by the investor. Where a claim relating to the information contained in the Prospectus is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under the national legislation of the member states, have to bear the costs of translating the Prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated. Civil liability can only be imposed on those persons who have put forward the summary including any translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the Prospectus or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the Prospectus, key information in order to aid investors when considering whether to invest in such securities.
SECTION B – ISSUER
B.1 Legal and commercial name: Icelandair Group hf., reg. no. 631205-1780.
B.2 Domicile, legal form, legislation and country of incorporation: Icelandair Group hf., is a public limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Iceland and governed by Icelandic law.
B.4b Tendencies: Air travel passenger growth has historically tracked GDP growth closely, however at a multiple in excess of 2x. Long-term forecasts point to a continuation of this trend, with global airline traffic expected to grow at nearly 5 per cent p.a. over the period 2015-2034. In the long run, air travel has shown strong resilience to demand-side shocks such as the Gulf Wars, 9/11 attacks, SARS or the global financial crisis.

Following a steep downturn in the wake of the global financial crisis, the Iceland economy has recovered strongly in recent years. GDP grew solidly in excess of the world average in 2015, with outperformance expected to continue over the coming years due to growth in imports and exports, fuelled in particular by the tourist industry. The inflation has stabilised.

Following the financial crisis, tourist arrivals to Iceland fell in 2009 and 2010 but recent years have seen a remarkable turnaround in this statistic. The number of tourist arrivals to Iceland reached nearly 1.3 million in 2015, representing growth of more than 30 per cent over |

4(93)


2014 and a more than two-fold increase over 2011 and approximately 98 per cent of tourist arrivals are through Keflavik. Revenues from tourism to Iceland more than doubled between 2010 and 2015, from USD 1.4 billion to USD 3.2 billion.
B.5 Description of the group and the Issuer's position within the group. The Issuer is the ultimate parent company of a group consisting of 11 companies (including the Issuer). Fjárvakur-fjármálathjónusta ehf., Flugleiahotel ehf., Flugleiðahótel ehf., IGS ehf., Loftleidir-Icelandic ehf., Flugfélag Íslands., Iceland Travel ehf., Icelandair Cargo ehf., FERIA ehf. and Icelandair ehf., are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Issuer. The Issuer is also the indirect owner of Airco ehf., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Icelandair ehf.
B.8 Selected pro forma financial information: Not applicable. The prospectus contains no pro forma accounting.
B.9 Profit forecasts: Not applicable. The prospectus contains no profit/loss forecast.
B. 10 Complaints in the audit report: Not applicable. There are no remarks in the audit reports.
B.12 Selected historical financial information: The information below is derived from the Issuer's audited annual report for 2014 and 2015, which are prepared according to IFRS, and the unaudited financial statements for the periods 2016-01-01 - 2016-09-30 and 2015-01-01 - 2015-09-30, which are prepared according to IAS, Interim Financial Reporting.

| SECTION D – RISKS | | |
| D2 | Key risks specific to the Group and its industry: | Investing in the Bonds involves inherent risks. A number of risk factors and uncertainties may adversely affect the Issuer and the Group. The risks presented herein are not exhaustive, and other risks not discussed herein, not currently known or not currently considered to be material |


9(93)

may also affect the Group's future operations, performance and financial position, and consequently the Group's ability to meet its obligations under the Terms and Conditions. Further, the risk factors are not ranked in order of importance. Potential investors should consider carefully the information contained in this section and make an independent evaluation before making an investment in the Bonds.
Market risk
The Group is exposed to general market risk, i.e. fluctuations in market prices such as fuel prices, exchange rates, interest rates and carbon prices can materially impact the Group's profitability. The failure to control such risks will have a negative impact on the Group and consequently adversely affect the Group's earnings and financial position.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. Should the Group be unsuccessful in managing its exposure to foreign currency risks, the Group's results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.
Liquidity risk
The Group faces the risk of having insufficient working capital to meet payments, e.g. due to inability or difficulties in liquidating its assets. There is a risk that the Group's liquidity policy proves to be insufficient. If liquidity risks are materialized, it risks having a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position and future prospects.
Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risk linked to the amount of outstanding trade receivables, allocation of liquid funds, security payments, and agreements with financial institutions relating to financial operations, e.g. credit support annexes concerning hedging. There is a risk that adverse changes in the credit quality of the Group's customers or other counterparties will affect the recovery and value of the Group's assets and other provisions and consequently adversely affect the Group's earnings and financial position.
Airport access
The Group operates an international route network based on a hub and spoke concept. This makes access to the right airports in its defined geographical market vital to maintain and open up gateways to large and competitive markets. At some airports, an air carrier needs landing and take-off authorisations (slots) before being able to introduce new services or expand its existing services. If the Group is not able to secure and retain slots, it could be restrained from competing in valuable markets. Further, access to airports is vital to minimize the likelihood of delays. Should any of the risks described above materialize, there is a risk that the Group's results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.

| | | Competition
The Group faces intensive competition in all its fields of activities. The airline aspect of the Group’s operations includes both scheduled and charter services for passengers and freight. The level of competition amongst airlines is high, and pricing decisions are heavily dependent on competition from other airlines. Should competition increase even further in any of the Group’s key transport markets, including the Icelandic market, it risks having a considerable negative effect on the Group’s profitability.

Reassessment of taxes
On 15 April 2015 the Internal Revenue Board issued a ruling where a decision made by the Director of Internal Revenue was confirmed. The ruling disallows the Group to recognize as expenses for tax purposes certain interest expenses on loans that were transferred to the Group as a result of a reverse acquisition in 2006. The management does not agree with the ruling and an appeal to the District Court of Reykjavik is in process. The effect of the ruling has not been recognized in the financial statements, but if the court case will be lost the Group’s equity would be reduced by USD 7.9 million, thus negatively affecting the Group’s financial position. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| D.3 | Key risks specific to the securities: | Refinancing risk
The Group may eventually be required to refinance certain or all of its outstanding debt, including the Bonds. The Group’s inability to refinance its debt obligations on favourable terms, or at all, risks having a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations and on the bondholders’ recovery under the Bonds.

Interest rate risks
The Bonds’ value depends on several factors, one of the most significant over time being the level of market interest. Investments in the Bonds involve a risk that the market value of the Bonds will be adversely affected by changes in market interest rates.

The market price of the Bonds may be volatile
The market price of the Bonds will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to actual or anticipated variations in the Group’s operating results and those of its competitors, adverse business developments, changes to the regulatory environment in which the Group operates, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and the actual or expected sale of a large number of Bonds, as well as other factors. In addition, in recent years the global financial markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which, if repeated in the future, will adversely affect the market price of the Bonds without regard to the Group’s operating results, financial condition or prospects.

Risks relating to the Bonds being unsecured
The Bonds constitute unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer. If the Issuer is subject to any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, recapitalisation, administrative or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, all of the Issuer’s secured obligations must first be |

10(93)


satisfied, potentially leaving little or no remaining assets in the Issuer for the bondholders. As a result, there is a risk that the bondholders will not recover any or full value. The bondholders will only have an unsecured claim against the assets (if any) in the Issuer for the amounts under or in respect of the Bonds, which means that the bondholders normally would receive payment (pro rata with other unsecured non-priority creditors) after any priority creditors have been paid in full.

Subsidiaries, structural subordination and insolvency of subsidiaries

A significant part of the Group’s assets and revenues relate to the Issuer’s subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are legally separated from the Issuer and the subsidiaries’ ability to make payments to the Issuer is restricted by, among other things, the availability of funds, corporate restrictions and law. Furthermore, in the event of insolvency, liquidation or a similar event relating to one of the subsidiaries, all creditors of such subsidiary would be entitled to payment in full out of the assets of such subsidiary before any entity within the Group, as a shareholder, would be entitled to any payments. Thus, the Bonds are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of the subsidiaries. There is a risk that the Group and its assets will not be protected from any actions by the creditors of any subsidiary of the Group, whether under bankruptcy law, by contract or otherwise. In addition, defaults by, or the insolvency of, certain subsidiaries of the Group could result in the obligation of the Group to make payments under parent Group financial or performance guarantees in respect of such subsidiaries’ obligations or the occurrence of cross defaults on certain borrowings of the Group.

Currency risks

The Bonds will be denominated and payable in USD. If bondholders holding Bonds measure their investment return by reference to a currency other than USD, an investment in the Bonds will entail foreign exchange-related risks due to, among other factors, possible significant changes in the value of the USD relative to the currency by reference to which investors measure the return on their investments. This could decrease the effective yield of the Bonds to below their stated coupon rates and could result in a loss to investors when the return on the Bonds is translated into the currency by reference to which the investors measure the return on their investments. Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that risks adversely affecting an applicable exchange rate or the ability of the Issuer to make payments in respect of the Bonds. As a result, there is a risk that investors receive less interest or principal than expected, or no interest or principal at all.

Risks relating to the clearing and settlement in Verdipapirsentralen ASA (VPS)’ book-entry system

The Bonds will be issued in uncertificated and dematerialized book-entry form in the electronic register of Verdipapirsentralen ASA’s account-based system, and no physical notes will be issued. Clearing and settlement relating to the Bonds is carried out within Verdipapirsentralen ASA’s book-entry system as well as payment of interest and repayment of the principal. Investors are therefore dependent on the functionality of Verdipapirsentralen ASA’s account-based system.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Bonds involves inherent risks. The financial performance of the Group and the risks associated with its business are important when making a decision on whether to invest in the Bonds. A number of risk factors and uncertainties may adversely affect the Issuer and the Group. These risk factors include, but are not limited to, market risks, financial risks and risks related to the business operations of the Group. If any of these risks or uncertainties were to materialise, the business, operating results and financial position of the Group could be materially and adversely affected, which ultimately could affect the Group's ability to make payments of interest and repayments of principal under the Terms and Conditions. In this section, a number of risk factors are illustrated, both general risks pertaining to the Group's business operations and material risks relating to the Bonds as financial instruments. The risks presented herein are not exhaustive, and other risks not discussed herein, not currently known or not currently considered to be material may also affect the Group's future operations, performance and financial position, and consequently the Group's ability to meet its obligations under the Terms and Conditions. Further, the risk factors are not ranked in order of importance. Potential investors should consider carefully the information contained in this section and make an independent evaluation before making an investment in the Bonds.

Group and market specific risks

Market risk

The Group is exposed to general market risk, i.e. fluctuations in market prices such as fuel prices, exchange rates, interest rates and carbon prices can materially impact the Group's profitability. The failure to control such risks will have a negative impact on the Group and consequently adversely affect the Group's earnings and financial position.

Foreign currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. Historically, the biggest currency mismatch has been a USD deficit, where the annual USD cash inflow falls short of the USD outflow, mainly due to investment, maintenance, fuel costs, and funding-related payments, which are to a large extent denominated in USD. In recent years the ISK deficit has emerged and expanded from being trivial to a significant and growing ISK shortfall since 2009. This trend stems from the revenue growth in foreign markets, whilst the consequential added operations are domestic and need to be covered by ISK. This shortage is financed by a surplus of European currencies, most importantly the EUR, CAD and Scandinavian currencies. Should the Group be unsuccessful in managing its exposure to foreign currency risks, the Group's results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.

Fuel price and availability

Airline operators are highly sensitive to jet fuel prices and availability. Jet fuel has been subject to significant price volatility due to fluctuations in supply and demand and investor behaviour through speculative trading. These are influenced by factors ranging from political unrest to terrorist attacks and producer market strategies. Extreme price movements and/or restricted availability of aviation fuel may affect the profitability of the Group. The Group integrates hedging into its purchases of jet fuel. While hedging provides certain constancy in this important cost item, there are always substantial risks involved when entering into hedging transactions. If fuel prices rise, and the Group has little or no hedging in place to mitigate its effect, the Group's cost structure and its competitiveness vis-à-vis its competitors will be damaged. However, if


prices were to fall with the Group having a higher level of hedging than its rivals, its competitiveness would also be damaged. Then there is also the side effect of liquidity strain due to possible collateral payments and margin calls under such circumstances. Should any of the risks described above materialize, the Group's results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.

Carbon price risk

Since the beginning of 2012 all airlines offering European destinations have been required to comply with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which commits them to raise their carbon permits in proportion to their emissions of carbon. In November 2012 the EU decided to offer airlines flying to and from European destinations an exemption from the Scheme with respect to international flights. Icelandair accepted this offer and its commitment was therefore reduced to covering internal European flights.

Again, in April 2014, the EU extended this exemption to 2016 and has therefore relieved airlines temporarily from the uncertainty of the carbon exposures within this time frame. Emission permits are mainly purchased with spot and forward contracts, and carbon exposure is subject to the same scrutiny and risk management as jet fuel. The consequences of the ETS compliance are not as economically important compared to the magnitude of fuel cost volatility, but still constitute a risk for the Issuer and consequently adversely affect the Group's earnings and financial position.

Liquidity risk

The Group faces the risk of having insufficient working capital to meet payments, e.g. due to inability or difficulties in liquidating its assets. There is a risk that the Group's liquidity policy proves to be insufficient. If liquidity risks are materialized, it risks having a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position and future prospects.

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk linked to the amount of outstanding trade receivables, allocation of liquid funds, security payments, and agreements with financial institutions relating to financial operations, e.g. credit support annexes concerning hedging. The relative spread of trade receivables across counterparties is also crucial for credit risk exposure. The risk involved is directly related to the fulfilment of outstanding obligations by the Group's counterparties. There is a risk that adverse changes in the credit quality of the Group's customers or other counterparties will affect the recovery and value of the Group's assets and other provisions and consequently adversely affect the Group's earnings and financial position.

A client of a subsidiary, with whom the Group has conducted business for a period lasting in excess of eight years and which currently represents less than five percent of the Group's total revenues, is late in paying its dues to the aforementioned subsidiary.

Airport access

The Group operates an international route network based on a hub and spoke concept. This makes access to the right airports in its defined geographical market vital to maintain and open up gateways to large and competitive markets. At some airports, an air carrier needs landing and take-off authorisations (slots) before being able to introduce new services or expand its existing services. If the Group is not able to secure and retain slots, it could be restrained from competing in valuable markets. Further, access to airports is vital to minimize the likelihood of

14(93)


delays. Should any of the risks described above materialize, there is a risk that the Group's results of operations and financial position will be materially and adversely affected.

Competition

The Group faces intensive competition in all its fields of activities. The airline aspect of the Group's operations includes both scheduled and charter services for passengers and freight. The level of competition amongst airlines is high, and pricing decisions are heavily dependent on competition from other airlines. In general the airline industry is susceptible to fare discounting due to low marginal costs of adding passengers to otherwise empty seats. New market entrants, especially low-cost brands, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, new partnerships and increased transparency of pricing in the air travel market add to airline competition. Should competition increase even further in any of the Group's key transport markets, including the Icelandic market, it risks having a considerable negative effect on the Group's profitability. Despite Icelandair ehf. being the most important subsidiary in the Group, the Group, in other segments of the industry, faces intense competition with hotels, B&Bs, hostels, home exchange websites and, as of late, private individuals letting their apartments. As a result, the overall accommodation capacity has substantially increased in Iceland, especially in the capital region.

Seasonality

The Group operates in a seasonal industry where there has traditionally been much higher demand for air travel and general tourism in the summer. Although strides have been made in reducing seasonality in the past years, the Group's earnings in the second and third quarters continue to be significantly higher than those of the first and fourth each year. Lower demand for air travel, flight cancellations or other factors affecting aircraft utilisation will therefore have a proportionately greater impact on the Group during the summer than during other periods.

The seasonality in turnover and profitability poses greater risk for the annual financial outcome than otherwise, leaving the Group more vulnerable against disruptions to production inputs or external demand shocks. Any interruptions during the high season risks having adverse effects on the financial outcome of operations for the whole financial year.

Volcanic eruptions

Iceland, home to the Group's Hub and Spoke base, is an active volcanic site with eruptions occurring somewhat regularly. The airline industry, in general, is vulnerable to volcanic ash clouds due to resulting disruptions of flights and cancelled bookings. In the event of an eruption, near or under the flight path of the Group's scheduled route network aircraft, resulting in disruptions or cancellations, the Group's earnings and financial position will be negatively and adversely impacted.

Labour disputes and strikes

The airline and tourism industries are inherently labour-intensive industries. The majority of the Group's employees are unionised and represented by several unions, each of which has its own agreement on salaries and benefits with the Group. Each union's contract comes up for renegotiation every few years, bringing with it a risk that the parties will not reach an immediate agreement; resulting in a strike being organised. Strikes can materially affect the Group's operations and financial results; a worst case scenario being a complete halt in the operations of one or more of its subsidiaries for a prolonged period of time. Strikes in the aviation industry are particularly taxing for airlines due to the nature of the business, which is burdened with high fixed costs. In addition to relying on hired personnel, the Group relies on third parties to provide its customers with services on behalf of and in cooperation with it. Any inability of the relevant

15(93)


third parties to provide such services or the occurrence of strikes will negatively and adversely affect the Group's results of operations and financial standing.

Covenants – contractual risk

The Group is contractually bound to honour various contracts in loan and leasing agreements as well as under the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt instruments via covenants or default event conditions, e.g. through certain accounting figure minimum requirements. Should the Group become unable to fulfil the relevant covenants, or for some reason discontinue to do so, the lessors and bondholders may become entitled to rescind these agreements, which will have negative financial consequences for the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations and on the bondholders' recovery under the Bonds.

Aviation regulations

Air transportation is subject to intensive regulation. An Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) has been issued to the relevant subsidiaries of the Group authorising it to conduct its airline operations. The risk exists that the Group will not be issued such licenses in the future. Occasionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and its European counterparts issue directives and other regulations relating to the maintenance of aircraft that may result in significant costs for the Group. There is a risk that the Group will be unable to compensate for this through higher ticket prices, thus adversely affecting the Group. Further, the Group's operating authority is subject to aviation agreements between governmental authorities of the European Union and the respective countries. Those agreements are periodically subject to renegotiation. Changes in the aviation policies of those countries could result in the termination of such agreements and adversely affect the Group's operations. Also, individual airline regulators, including the regulator in Iceland, may impose restrictions and requirements that would impact the Group's profitability and have a material and adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

Securities regulations

The Group's shares are traded on Nasdaq Iceland and therefore subject to Icelandic securities regulations, e.g. those in the Securities Transactions Act No. 108/2007, government regulations and rules adopted by Nasdaq Iceland. Violation, whether intended or unintentional, of these provisions risks having a financial impact on the Group. Serious breaches may result in penalties and Nasdaq Iceland halting trading in the Group's securities, and will consequently adversely affect the Group's reputation and financial position.

Litigation

Given the Issuer's size and the scope of its operations, it can easily find itself involved in some form of litigation at any given time which risks adversely affecting its financial position. At the time of the publishing of this Presentation, the Issuer is involved in disputes with the tax and competition authorities.

The Icelandic Competition Authority (ICA) has recently been investigating Icelandair's alleged predatory pricing in 2012-13 which could be considered as a breach of Article 11 of the Icelandic Competition Act. If the investigation will conclude that Icelandair had a dominant position in the market, and abused its position by predatory pricing, the ICA could lay an administrative fine on Icelandair for the alleged breach of the Competition Act. Should the ICA's ruling be unfavorable to the Issuer, there is a risk that it causes negative effects on the Group's financial standing and market position.

Reassessment of taxes

On 15 April 2015 the Internal Revenue Board issued a ruling where a decision made by the Director of Internal Revenue was confirmed. The ruling disallows the Group to recognize as expenses for tax purposes certain interest expenses on loans that were transferred to the Group as a result of a reverse acquisition in 2006. The management does not agree with the ruling and an appeal to the District Court of Reykjavik is in process. The effect of the ruling has not been recognized in the financial statements, but if the court case will be lost the Group's equity would be reduced by USD 7.9 million, thus negatively affecting the Group's financial position.

Risks relating to the Bonds

Credit risks

Investors in the Bonds carry a credit risk relating to the Group. The investors' ability to receive payment under the Terms and Conditions is dependent on the Issuer's ability to meet its payment obligations, which in turn is largely dependent upon the performance of the Group's operations and its financial position. The Group's financial position is affected by several factors of which some will be mentioned on the proceeding pages. An increased credit risk may cause the market to charge the Bonds a higher risk premium, and that will affect the Bonds' value negatively. Another aspect of the credit risk is that a deteriorating financial position of the Group risks reducing the Group's possibility to receive debt financing at the time of the maturity of the Bonds.

Refinancing risk

The Group may eventually be required to refinance certain or all of its outstanding debt, including the Bonds. The Group's ability to successfully refinance its debt is dependent on the conditions of the capital markets and its financial condition at such time. The Group's access to financing sources may not be available on favourable terms, or at all. The Group's inability to refinance its debt obligations on favourable terms, or at all, risks having a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations and on the bondholders' recovery under the Bonds.

Ability to comply with the Terms and Conditions

The Group is required to comply with the Terms and Conditions, inter alia, to pay interest under the Bonds. Events beyond the Group's control, including changes in the economic and business conditions in which the Group operates, may affect the Group's ability to comply with, among other things, the undertakings set out in the Terms and Conditions. There is a risk that a breach of the Terms and Conditions could result in a default under the Terms and Conditions, which could lead to an acceleration of the Bonds, resulting in the Issuer having to repay the bondholders at the applicable call premium. It is possible that the Issuer will not have sufficient funds at the time of the repayment to make the required redemption of Bonds.

Interest rate risks

The Bonds' value depends on several factors, one of the most significant over time being the level of market interest. Investments in the Bonds involve a risk that the market value of the Bonds will be adversely affected by changes in market interest rates.

Liquidity risks and secondary market

The Issuer intends to list the Bonds on the corporate bond list of Nasdaq Stockholm within 30 calendar days from the Issue Date, and an obligation to list the Bonds on the corporate bond list of Nasdaq Stockholm no later than 60 calendar days from the Issue Date. Even if the Bonds are


admitted to trading on the aforementioned market, active trading in the Bonds does not always occur and a liquid market for trading in the Bonds might not occur even if the Bonds are listed. There is a risk that this will result in the bondholders not being able to sell their Bonds when desired or at a price level which allows for a profit comparable to similar investments with an active and functioning secondary market. Lack of liquidity in the market will have a negative impact on the market value of the Bonds. Furthermore, there is a risk that the nominal value of the Bonds will not be indicative compared to the market price of the Bonds if the Bonds are admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm. It should also be noted that during any given period of time there is a risk that it will be difficult or impossible to sell the Bonds (at all or at reasonable terms) due to, for example, severe price fluctuations, close down of the relevant market or trade restrictions imposed on the market.

The market price of the Bonds may be volatile

The market price of the Bonds will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to actual or anticipated variations in the Group's operating results and those of its competitors, adverse business developments, changes to the regulatory environment in which the Group operates, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and the actual or expected sale of a large number of Bonds, as well as other factors. In addition, in recent years the global financial markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which, if repeated in the future, will adversely affect the market price of the Bonds without regard to the Group's operating results, financial condition or prospects.

Dependency on other companies within the Group

A significant part of the Group's assets and revenues relate to the Issuer's subsidiaries. The Issuer is thus dependent upon receipt of sufficient income and cash flow related to the operations of the subsidiaries. Consequently, the Issuer is dependent on the subsidiaries' availability of cash and their legal ability to make dividends which will from time to time be restricted by corporate restrictions and law. Should the Issuer not receive sufficient income from its subsidiaries, the investor's ability to receive payment under the Terms and Conditions will be adversely affected.

Majority owner

Following any potential change of control in the Issuer, the Issuer may be controlled by a majority shareholder whose interest may conflict with those of the bondholders, particularly if the Group encounters difficulties or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due. A majority shareholder has legal power to control many of the matters to be decided by vote at a shareholder's meeting. For example, a majority shareholder will have the ability to elect the Board of Directors of the Issuer. Furthermore, a majority shareholder may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments but might involve risks to the bondholders. There is nothing that prevents a shareholder or any of its affiliates from acquiring businesses that directly compete with the Group. If such an event were to arise, it risks having a material negative impact on the Group's operations, earnings and financial position. According to the Terms and Conditions, if a change of control event occurs, the bondholders have a right of prepayment of the Bonds (put option). There is a risk that the Issuer lacks liquidity to repurchase the Bonds if the bondholders were to exercise their right of prepayment. Please see the risk factor "Early redemption and put option" on the following page for further information.

18(93)


19(93)

Risks relating to the Bonds being unsecured

The Bonds constitute unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer. If the Issuer is subject to any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, recapitalisation, administrative or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, all of the Issuer's secured obligations must first be satisfied, potentially leaving little or no remaining assets in the Issuer for the bondholders. As a result, there is a risk that the bondholders will not recover any or full value. The bondholders will only have an unsecured claim against the assets (if any) in the Issuer for the amounts under or in respect of the Bonds, which means that the bondholders normally would receive payment (pro rata with other unsecured non-priority creditors) after any priority creditors have been paid in full. Each investor should be aware that by investing in the Bonds, they risk losing the entire, or part of, its investment in the event of the Issuer's liquidation, bankruptcy or Group reorganisation. Further, the Issuer currently has outstanding secured debt. Consequently, an enforcement of security furnished under the secured obligations risks having a material negative effect on the bondholders' recovery under the Bonds.

Subsidiaries, structural subordination and insolvency of subsidiaries

A significant part of the Group's assets and revenues relate to the Issuer's subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are legally separated from the Issuer and the subsidiaries' ability to make payments to the Issuer is restricted by, among other things, the availability of funds, corporate restrictions and law. Furthermore, in the event of insolvency, liquidation or a similar event relating to one of the subsidiaries, all creditors of such subsidiary would be entitled to payment in full out of the assets of such subsidiary before any entity within the Group, as a shareholder, would be entitled to any payments. Thus, the Bonds are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of the subsidiaries. There is a risk that the Group and its assets will not be protected from any actions by the creditors of any subsidiary of the Group, whether under bankruptcy law, by contract or otherwise. In addition, defaults by, or the insolvency of, certain subsidiaries of the Group could result in the obligation of the Group to make payments under parent Group financial or performance guarantees in respect of such subsidiaries' obligations or the occurrence of cross defaults on certain borrowings of the Group.

Security over assets granted to third parties

The Group may, subject to limitations, incur additional financial indebtedness and provide additional security for such indebtedness. In the event of bankruptcy, reorganisation or winding-up of the Issuer, the bondholders will be subordinated in right of payment out of the assets being subject to security. In addition, if any such third party financier holding security provided by the Group would enforce such security due to a default by any Group company under the relevant finance documents, such enforcement will have a material adverse effect on the Group's assets, operations and ultimately the position of the bondholders.

Currency risks

The Bonds will be denominated and payable in USD. If bondholders holding Bonds measure their investment return by reference to a currency other than USD, an investment in the Bonds will entail foreign exchange-related risks due to, among other factors, possible significant changes in the value of the USD relative to the currency by reference to which investors measure the return on their investments. This could decrease the effective yield of the Bonds to below their stated coupon rates and could result in a loss to investors when the return on the Bonds is translated into the currency by reference to which the investors measure the return on their investments. Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that risks adversely affecting an applicable exchange rate or the ability


of the Issuer to make payments in respect of the Bonds. As a result, there is a risk that investors receive less interest or principal than expected, or no interest or principal at all.

Early redemption and put options

Under the Terms and Conditions, and as described in the term sheet for the Bonds, the Issuer has reserved the possibility to redeem all outstanding Bonds before the final redemption date. If the Bonds are redeemed before the final redemption date, the holders of the Bonds have the right to receive an early redemption amount which exceeds the nominal amount in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. However, there is a risk that the market value of the Bonds is higher than the early redemption amount and that it will not be possible for bondholders to reinvest such proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Bonds and will only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate. According to the Terms and Conditions, the Bonds are subject to prepayment at the option of each bondholder (put options) if (i) the Issuer's shares are not listed and admitted to trading on Nasdaq Stockholm or any other regulated market, (ii) trading of the Issuer's shares on the aforementioned stock exchange is suspended for a period of 15 consecutive banking days, or (iii) if one or more persons, acting together acquire control over the Issuer and where "control" means (a) acquiring or controlling, directly or indirectly, more than 50.00 per cent of the voting rights of the Issuer, or (b) the right to, directly or indirectly, appoint or remove the whole or a majority of the directors of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

There is, however, a risk that the Issuer will not have sufficient funds at the time of such prepayment to make the required prepayment of the Bonds which will adversely affect the Issuer, e.g. by causing insolvency or an event of default under the Terms and Conditions, and thus adversely affect all bondholders and not only those that choose to exercise the option.

No action against the Issuer and bondholders' representation

In accordance with the Terms and Conditions, a bondholders' agent (the "Agent") (being on the Issue Date Nordic Trustee & Agency AB (publ)) will represent all bondholders in all matters relating to the Bonds and the bondholders are prevented from taking actions on their own against the Issuer. Consequently, individual bondholders do not have the right to take legal actions to declare any default by claiming any payment from or enforcing any security granted by the Issuer and will therefore lack effective remedies unless and until a requisite majority of the bondholders agree to take such action. However, there is a risk that an individual bondholder, in certain situations, will bring its own action against the Issuer (in breach of the Terms and Conditions) which will negatively impact an acceleration of the Bonds or other action against the Issuer. To enable the Agent to represent bondholders in court, the bondholders and/or their nominees may have to submit a written power of attorney for legal proceedings. The failure of all bondholders to submit such a power of attorney will negatively affect the legal proceedings. Under the Terms and Conditions, the Agent will in some cases have the right to make decisions and take measures that bind all bondholders. Consequently, the actions of the Agent in such matters could impact a bondholder's rights under the Terms and Conditions in a manner that would be undesirable for some of the bondholders.

Bondholders' meetings

The Terms and Conditions include certain provisions regarding bondholders' meetings. Such meetings may be held in order to resolve on matters relating to the bondholders' interests. The Terms and Conditions will allow for stated majorities to bind all bondholders, including bondholders who have not taken part in the meeting and those who have voted differently to the required majority at a duly convened and conducted bondholders' meeting. Consequently,

20(93)


the actions of the majority in such matters could impact a bondholder’s rights in a manner that will be undesirable for some of the bondholders.

Restrictions on the transferability of the Bonds

The Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws. Subject to certain exemptions, a holder of the Bonds may not offer or sell the Bonds in the United States. The Issuer has not undertaken to register the Bonds under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws or to effect any exchange offer for the Bonds in the future. Furthermore, the Issuer has not registered the Bonds under any other country's securities laws. It is each potential investor’s obligation to ensure that the offers and sales of Bonds comply with all applicable securities laws. Due to these restrictions, there is a risk that a bondholder cannot sell their Bonds as desired.

Risks relating to the clearing and settlement in Verdipapirsentralen ASA (VPS)’ book-entry system

The Bonds will be issued in uncertificated and dematerialized book-entry form in the electronic register of Verdipapirsentralen ASA's account-based system, and no physical notes will be issued. Clearing and settlement relating to the Bonds is carried out within Verdipapirsentralen ASA's book-entry system as well as payment of interest and repayment of the principal. Investors are therefore dependent on the functionality of Verdipapirsentralen ASA's account-based system.

Amended or new legislation

This document is and the Terms and Conditions will be based on Swedish law in force at the date of issuance of the Bonds. There is a risk that amended or new legislation and administrative practices will adversely affect the investor’s ability to receive payment under the Terms and Conditions.

Conflict of interests

The Sole Bookrunner may in the future engage in investment banking and/or commercial banking or other services for the Group in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, there is a risk that conflicts of interest may exist or arise as a result of the Sole Bookrunner having previously engaged, or engaging in the future, in transactions with other parties, having multiple roles or carrying out other transactions for third parties with conflicting interests.

The rights of bondholders depend on the Agent's actions and financial standing

By subscribing for, or purchasing, or accepting the assignment of, any Bond, each holder of a Bond will accept the appointment of the Agent to act on its behalf and to perform administrative functions relating to the Bonds. The Agent shall have, among other things, the right to represent the holders of the Bonds in all court and administrative proceedings in respect of the Bonds. However, the rights, duties and obligations of the Agent as the representative of the holders of the Bonds will be subject to the provisions of the Terms and Conditions for the Bonds and the agency agreement, and there is no specific legislation or market practice in Sweden (under which laws the Terms and Conditions for the Bonds are governed) which would govern the Agent's performance of its duties and obligations relating to the Bonds. A failure by the Agent to perform its duties and obligations properly or at all will adversely affect the enforcement of the rights of the holders of the Bonds. Under the Terms and Conditions for the Bonds, the funds collected by the Agent as the representative of the holders of the Bonds must be held separately from the funds of the Agent and be treated as escrow funds to ensure that in the event of the

21(93)


Agent's bankruptcy, such funds can be separated for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds. However, there is a risk that such segregation of funds will not be respected by a bankruptcy administrator in case of the trustee's bankruptcy. Also, in the event the Agent would fail to separate the funds in an appropriate manner, there is a risk that the funds will be included in the Agent's bankruptcy estate. The Agent may be replaced by a successor bondholders' agent in accordance with the Terms and Conditions for the Bonds.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GROUP

History and development

The Company was incorporated on 20 December 2005 and is an Icelandic public limited liability company operating under the laws of Iceland with ID No. 631205-1780.

The registered office of the Company is Reykjavík Airport, 101 Reykjavík Iceland and the Company's headquarters is located the same address, with telephone number +354 50 50 300.

In accordance with the articles of association of the Company, on the latest version of which was adopted on 10 March 2016, the objects of the Company are to own and run airlines and tourism companies, purchase and sale of shares, especially shares in other companies working in the field of aviation, travel industry and transport, purchase and sale of real estate, lending and other related business.

The Group traces its roots to the year 1937 when one of its predecessors, Flugfélag Akureyrar, was founded. In 1943, the company moved its headquarters to Reykjavík and changed its name to Flugfélag Íslands, which later assumed the international trade name Icelandair.

Another important milestone was passed in 1944, when three young Icelandic pilots, returning from flight training in Canada, founded Loftleiðir, which later became known as Icelandic Airlines. Initially, both companies concentrated on Icelandic domestic air services. However, in 1945 Icelandair made its first international flight to Scotland and Denmark. Loftleiðir Icelandic Airlines began international operations in 1947, and its pioneering low-fare services across the North-Atlantic commenced in 1953.

In 1973, the two airlines, Icelandair and Loftleiðir Icelandic Airlines, were merged under a new holding company, Flugleiðir. In October 1979, Flugleiðir assumed all the operating responsibilities of its two parent companies, and decided to use Icelandair as its international trade name, only retaining the Flugleiðir name in the domestic market.

Although Icelandair Group's formal founding date is 20 December 2005, the Group, in its current day form, is the result of a series of acquisitions, mergers, de-mergers, in- and divestments and comprehensive restructuring spanning the three decades, from 1979 - 2010. The Group's shares have been traded on the Nasdaq Iceland since 12 February 2007.

In 2012, the Group celebrated 75 years of successful operations in scheduled flight services making the name Icelandair one of the longest serving airline names in the world.

Business and operations

The Group operates in the international airline and tourism sectors, with Iceland as the focal point of its international Route Network. In addition to the passenger flights operated by Icelandair, the Group has extensive interests in most other parts of Icelandic tourism and aviation, including hotel chains, travel agencies, domestic airline and cargo, support services and ground handling and technical services, in addition to its leasing and charter operations. The Company splits its operations into two business segments: Route Network and Tourism Services.


The Group’s long-term strategy remains firmly centred on five key points:

  • Focus on the Route Network and tourism services;
  • Focus on reducing seasonality in the Group’s operations;
  • Focusing on organic growth and business development;
  • Focus on achieving greater synergies between Group companies; and
  • Focus on improving efficiency with special emphasis on continuous cost control.

The Group’s vision

To unlock Iceland’s potential as a year-round destination, to strengthen Iceland’s position as a connecting hub and to maintain our focus on flexibility and experience

Business Segments: Route Network

This business segment is focused on the well-established international route networks based on the Hub and Spoke concept. Seven companies are categorised as being part of the Route Network business segment:

  • Icelandair, international, full-service airline with a hub in Iceland;
  • Icelandair Cargo, full-service air freight company;
  • Icelandair Ground Services, handling agent for airlines and passenger services at Keflavik International Airport;
  • Air Iceland, regional airline operator;
  • Loftleidir-Icelandic, aircraft leasing operation;
  • Feria, parent company of travel agencies VITA and Ferð.is; and
  • Icelandair Shared Services (Fjárvakur-fjármálathjónusta), the accounting and financial support company of the Group.

These companies work closely together and have long historical ties. The main common task of the focus group is to run a profitable airline network operation with growth potential while supporting local tourism in Iceland. This is done through sales and marketing activity on behalf of all companies, as well as through placing emphasis on revenue management and cost control throughout the operation.

The Issuer is relied on the successful operations of the entities within the Group, with Icelandair being the largest and most important subsidiary responsible for over 2/3 of Group operating income in 2014.

Icelandair

Icelandair, an international airline (the “Airline”), is the Group’s largest subsidiary and a key factor in the Group’s operations. The Airline’s operating result is the largest determining factor in the Group’s overall results. The Airline’s CEO is Birkir Hólm Guðnason. The Airline’s business strategy is based on the geographical position of Iceland on the flight route between northern Europe and North America. By combining in its aircraft, passengers visiting Iceland, passengers departing from Iceland and passengers travelling across the Atlantic via Iceland, the Airline has been able to expand its network steadily. In 2016 Icelandair connects 26 European cities to 16 North American cities through the hub in Iceland in its summer schedule. The network is based on a 24-hour rotation with morning and afternoon connections in Iceland.

Business Segments: Tourism Services

The business segment Tourism Services comprises the following subsidiaries:

  • Icelandair Hotels, the domestic hotel chain; and

Market overview

Air travel passenger growth has historically tracked GDP growth closely, however at a multiple in excess of 2x. Long-term forecasts point to a continuation of this trend, with global airline traffic expected to grow at nearly 5 per cent p.a. over the period 2015-2034. In the long run, air travel has shown strong resilience to demand-side shocks such as the Gulf Wars, 9/11 attacks, SARS or the global financial crisis.

Following a steep downturn in the wake of the global financial crisis, the Iceland economy has recovered strongly in recent years. GDP grew solidly in excess of the world average in 2015, with outperformance expected to continue over the coming years due to growth in imports and exports, fuelled in particular by the tourist industry. The inflation has stabilised.

Following the financial crisis, tourist arrivals to Iceland fell in 2009 and 2010 but recent years have seen a remarkable turnaround in this statistic. The number of tourist arrivals to Iceland reached nearly 1.3 million in 2015, representing growth of more than 30 per cent over 2014 and a more than two-fold increase over 2011 and approximately 98 per cent of tourist arrivals are through Keflavik. Revenues from tourism to Iceland more than doubled between 2010 and 2015, from USD 1.4 billion to USD 3.2 billion.

20. Appointment and Replacement of the Agent

20.1 Appointment of Agent

(a) By subscribing for Bonds, each initial Bondholder appoints the Agent to act as its agent in all matters relating to the Bonds and the Finance Documents, and authorises the Agent to act on its behalf (without first having to obtain its consent, unless such consent is specifically required by these Terms and Conditions) in any legal or arbitration proceedings relating to the Bonds held by such Bondholder.

(b) By acquiring Bonds, each subsequent Bondholder confirms the appointment and authorisation for the Agent to act on its behalf as set out in Clause 20.1(a).

(c) Each Bondholder shall immediately upon request provide the Agent with any such documents, including a written power of attorney (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent), that the Agent deems necessary for the purpose of exercising its rights and/or carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents. The Agent is under no obligation to represent a Bondholder which does not comply with such request.

(d) The Issuer shall promptly upon request provide the Agent with any documents and other assistance (in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent), that the Agent deems necessary for the purpose of exercising its rights and/or carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents.

(g) The Agent is entitled to engage external experts when carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents. The Issuer shall on demand by the Agent pay all reasonable costs for external experts engaged after the occurrence of an Event of Default, or for the purpose of investigating or considering (i) an event which the Agent reasonably believes is or may lead to an Event of Default or (ii) a matter relating to the Issuer which the Agent reasonably believes may be detrimental to the interests of the Bondholders under the Finance Documents. Any compensation for damages or other recoveries received by the Agent from external experts engaged by it for the purpose of carrying out its duties under the Finance Documents shall be distributed in accordance with Clause 15 (Distribution of Proceeds).

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Finance Documents to the contrary, the Agent is not obliged to do or omit to do anything if it would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation.

(i) Unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary, the Agent may assume that all information provided by or on behalf of the Issuer (including by its advisors) is correct, true and complete in all aspects.

(j) If in the Agent’s reasonable opinion the cost, loss or liability which it may incur (including reasonable fees to the Agent) in complying with instructions of the Bondholders, or taking any action at its own initiative, will not be covered by the Issuer or the Bondholders (as applicable), the Agent may refrain from acting in accordance with such instructions, or taking such action, until it has received such indemnities (or adequate Security has been provided therefore) as it may reasonably require.

The Issuer may, at a Bondholders' Meeting convened by it or by way of Written Procedure initiated by it, propose to the Bondholders that the Agent be dismissed and a new Agent appointed.

Unless the Issuer and the new Agent agree otherwise, the new Agent shall be entitled to the same fees and the same indemnities as the retiring Agent.
