C.8 Description of the rights
attached to the Notes
Status of the Notes and the Guarantee:
The Notes and Coupons constitute direct, unconditional and, subject to the provisions
of the negative pledge (as described below), unsecured obligations of the Issuer and
shall at all times (subject as aforesaid) rank pari passu (i.e. equally in right of
payment), without any preference among themselves, with all other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, but in the event of insolvency,
only to the extent permitted by applicable laws relating to creditors' rights.
Similarly, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantee constitute direct,
unconditional and (subject to the provisions of the negative pledge) unsecured
obligations of the relevant Guarantor and shall at all times (subject as aforesaid) rank
pari passu, without any preference among themselves, with all other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such Guarantor but, in the event of
insolvency, only to the extent permitted by applicable laws relating to creditors' rights.
Negative pledge:
The Terms and Conditions of the Notes contain a negative pledge provision. In general
terms, a negative pledge provision restricts an issuer of unsecured bonds from granting
security over assets for other comparable bond financings. Under the negative pledge
provision in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, therefore, none of the Issuer, any
Guarantor and any other material subsidiary of the Issuer may create, assume or permit
to subsist any security upon the whole or any part of their undertaking, assets or
revenues to secure any bond type debt without securing the Notes and the obligations
of the Guarantors under the Guarantee equally, subject to certain exceptions.
Events of default:
described above will be deemed to constitute "events of default". An event of default generally refers to a breach by the Issuer, any Guarantor and any
material subsidiary of the Group of certain provisions described in the Terms and
Conditions of the Notes. Events of default under the Notes include non-payment of
principal for seven days; non-payment of interest for 14 days; breach of other
obligations under the Notes or the Trust Deed (which breach is not remedied within 30
days); cross-acceleration relating to certain other indebtedness of the Issuer, a
Guarantor or any material subsidiary; and certain events related to enforcement,
insolvency or winding up of the Issuer, a Guarantor or any material subsidiary.
Customary thresholds and grace periods are applicable before certain of the events
to such property or assets). In addition, (i) in certain circumstances, it will also be necessary for the Trustee to
certify that the occurrence of any such event is materially prejudicial to the interests of
the holders of the Notes ("Noteholders") before the event will constitute an "event of
default" and (ii) certain events will not be deemed to occur to the extent that any such
event arises in relation to a Permitted Transaction (generally, any securitisation or
other structured finance transaction where the obligations of the Issuer, Guarantor or
any material subsidiary are funded by identified property or assets and where recourse
to the Issuer, Guarantor or material subsidiary in respect of such obligations is limited
Withholding tax:
All payments of principal and interest made by the Issuer or any Guarantor in respect
of the Notes and the Coupons, shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding
or deduction for any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever
nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the relevant
jurisdiction or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless required by
law or pursuant to a voluntary agreement with a taxing authority. In such case the
Issuer or any Guarantor shall pay additional amounts as will result in receipt by the
holders of the Notes and Coupons of such amounts as would have been received by
them had no such withholding or deduction been required, subject to customary
exceptions.
Meetings of Noteholders:
The Terms and Conditions of the Notes contain provisions for calling meetings of
Noteholders to consider matters affecting their interests generally. These provisions
permit defined majorities to bind all Noteholders including Noteholders who did not
vote on the relevant resolution and Noteholders who voted in a manner contrary to the
majority.
Modification, waiver and substitution:
The Trustee may, in certain circumstances, without the consent of Noteholders, agree
to (i) any modification of (subject to certain exceptions), or to the waiver or
authorisation of any breach or proposed breach of, any of the provisions of the Trust
Deed or (ii) the substitution of certain other entities in place of the Issuer, any
Guarantor or any previous substituted company as principal debtor or guarantor under
the Notes.
Governing law:
English law.

Section D - Summary Risk Factors
Element Title
D.2 Key information on the key
risks that are specific to the
Issuer/ Guarantors
Significant unexpected changes or outcomes, beyond those factored into the
٠
Group's strategy and business model, may occur, which could have an adverse
impact on the Group's performance or financial position.
Poor performance of the Group's investment portfolio could have a material
$\bullet$
adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and/or
prospects of the Group.
The Group may be unable to raise future investment funds from third parties
۰
which could limit the Group's capacity to make new investments, increase its
exposure to individual deals and decrease the Group's income from management
and advisory fees, performance fees and carried interest.
The removal of a member of the Group as the investment manager for one or more
$\bullet$
funds would reduce fee income and thus could have a material adverse effect on
the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Group.
The level of repayments on the Group's loan portfolio and consequently on the
۰
timing of the realisation of rolled up interest as well as delays in realising minority
interests could have a negative impact on the Group's investment capacity.
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates which could adversely
$\bullet$
affect the Group's returns and financial condition.
If the Group cannot retain and motivate its senior investment professionals and
٠
other key employees, the Group's business could be adversely affected.
The Issuer may be subject to a withholding tax of 30 per cent. on certain payments
۰
to if it, and in certain cases, an affiliate, does not comply with the applicable
information reporting and withholding requirements under Sections 1471 through
1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), an
intergovernmental agreement entered into in furtherance of such Sections of the
Code, any related non-U.S. legislation implemented in furtherance of such an
intergovernmental agreement or an agreement with a taxing authority pursuant to
such Sections of the Code (collectively, "FATCA"). Any such withholding may
materially impair the Issuer's ability to make payments on the Notes.

A17819815

D.3 Key information on the key
risks that are specific to the
Notes
Unlike a bank deposit, the Notes are not protected by the Financial Services
Compensation Scheme (the "FSCS"). As a result, neither the FSCS nor anyone
else will pay compensation to investors upon the failure of the Issuer, any of the
Guarantors or the Group.
There is a risk of early redemption of the Notes by the Issuer due to a change in
٠
tax law or at its option (if such option is applicable). A Noteholder may not be able
to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the
interest rate of the Notes and may only be able to do so at a significantly lower
rate.
Defined majorities may be permitted to bind all the Noteholders with respect to
$\bullet$
modification and waivers of the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, including
Noteholders who did not attend and vote or who voted in a manner contrary to the
majority.
A market for the Notes may not develop, or may not be very liquid and such
$\bullet$
illiquidity may have a severely adverse effect on the market value of the Notes.
If a payment were to be made or collected through an EU Member State which has
٠
opted for a withholding system and an amount of, or in respect of, tax were to be
withheld from that payment pursuant to EC Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the
taxation of savings income (the "Savings Directive"), neither the Issuer nor any
Paying Agent nor any other person would be obliged to pay additional amounts
with respect to any Note as a result of the imposition of such withholding tax.
Payments, including principal, on the Notes to certain Noteholders and beneficial
۰
owners may be subject to a withholding tax of 30 per cent. if the Noteholders or
beneficial owners do not comply with the relevant requirements under FATCA.
No additional amounts will be payable in respect of any amounts deducted or
withheld in connection with FATCA.
Investors in CDIs will have an interest in a separate legal instrument and will not
$\bullet$
be the legal owners of the Notes in respect of which the CDIs are issued.
Accordingly, rights under the Notes cannot be enforced by CDI holders except
indirectly through the intermediary depositaries and custodians. Further, such
investor will be subject to provisions outside of, and different from, the Notes by
virtue of its holding CDIs issued by the CREST Depository.
Issue specific summary:
Investment in Fixed Rate Notes involves the risk that subsequent changes in
٠
market interest rates may adversely affect the value of Fixed Rate Notes.
Section E - Summary Information on the Offer:

E.2 b Reasons for the Offer and
Use of Proceeds
Programme summary:
The net proceeds from each issue of Notes will be applied by the Issuer for its general
corporate purposes. If, in respect of any particular issue there is a particular identified
use of proceeds, this will be stated below.
Issue specific summary:
Reasons for the offer: Not Applicable
Use of proceeds: Not Applicable
E.3 Terms and conditions of the
offer
Programme summary:
The terms and conditions of each offer of Notes will be determined by agreement
between the Issuer and the relevant Dealers at the time of issue and specified in the
applicable Final Terms. An investor intending to acquire or acquiring any Notes in a
Public Offer from an offeror other than the Issuer will do so, and offers and sales of
such Notes to an investor by such offeror will be made, in accordance with any terms
and other arrangements in place between such offeror and such investor including as to
price, allocations, expenses, payment and delivery arrangements. The investor must
look to the relevant Authorised Offeror for the provision of such information and the
Authorised Offeror will be responsible for such information. The Issuer, the
Guarantors and the Dealers will have no responsibility or liability to an investor in
respect of such information.
Issue specific summary:
Not Applicable.
E.4 Interests of natural and legal
persons involved in the issue
of the Notes
Programme summary:
The relevant Dealer(s) may be paid fees in relation to any issue of Notes. Certain of the
Dealers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment
banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform services for,
the Issuer and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Issue specific summary:
So far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the offer of the Notes has an
interest material to the offer. There are no conflicts of interest which are material to the
offer of the Notes.
E.7 Estimated expenses charged
to investors
Programme summary:
There are no expenses charged to the investor by the Issuer. Expenses may be charged
by an Authorised Offeror; these are beyond the control of the Issuer and not set by the
Issuer. They may vary depending on the size and the amount subscribed for and the
investor's arrangements with the Authorised Offeror. Neither the Issuer nor any of the
Dealers are party to such terms or other arrangements.
Issue specific summary:
Not Applicable
