Security: The Notes are secured (the "Secured Notes"). The Secured Notes constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated secured obligations of the Issuer that will rank pari passu among themselves. The Issuer will create security over a pool of collatera! ("Collateral Pool") to secure a specified portion (the "Secured Portion") of its obligations in respect of the Secured Notes. The Collateral Pool secures more than one Series of Secured Notes. Credit Linkage: The Notes are linked to the credit of one or more financial |
||
| institutions or corporations listed on a regulated exchange or a sovereign entity or any Successor(s) (the "Reference Entity") (the Notes are "Credit Linked Notes" and such proportion of the Notes which is Credit Linked is the "Credit Linked Portion"). The Notes are Credit Linked Notes to which the ISDA Credit Linkage provisions apply. |
||||
| The Reference Entity on the Issue Date will be Old Mutual plc. | ||||
| The Notes will be issued in denominations of ZAR Denomination: 2,000,000 plus integral multiples of ZAR 20,000. |
| Section C-Securities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Taxation: All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without deduction for or on account of withholding taxes imposed by the United Kingdom unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event that any such deduction is made, the Issuer will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding or deduction. |
||
| Governing Law: English law | ||
| C.9 | The Rights Attaching to the Securities (Continued), Including Information as Interest, to. Maturity, Yield and the Representative of the Holders: |
Redemption of the Notes: The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Issuer in whole (but not in part) upon giving notice to the Noteholders on a date or dates specified prior to such stated maturity and at a price or prices and on such other terms as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. Interest: The Notes are interest bearing and will bear interest at a floating rate (as further described below). |
| Floating Rate Notes: | ||
| Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a floating rate, being the "Rate of Interest" which is a variable percentage rate per annum namely 3 month $JIBAR + 6.50$ per cent. |
||
| The Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Notes for a given Interest Period will be calculated by the Calculation Agent by reference to quotations provided electronically by banks in the "Relevant Financial Centre" (since "Screen Rate Determination" applies) and the addition of an additional percentage rate per annum. |
||
| In order to calculate the Interest Amount payable per Note, the Calculation Agent applies the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period to the Calculation Amount and multiplies the product by the Day Count Fraction. |
||
| Payments of Principal: The Notes will be redeemed at par. | ||
| If a coupon deferral event occurs (being the suspension, deferral, or cessation of an interest payment, or adjustment in the frequency of interest payments) in relation to the coupon reference obligation, being XS0632932538, the Issuer may defer or reduce the interest payments due under the Notes to the same extent of the deferral or reduction in the interest payments on the coupon reference obligation, for so long as the coupon deferral event in respect of the coupon reference obligation is continuing. |
||
| Deutsche Trustee Company Limited (the "Trustee") has entered into a trust deed with the Issuer in connection with the programme, under which it has agreed to act as trustee for the Noteholders. |

| Section D - Risks | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| D.2 | Risks specific to the issuer: |
In relation to Public Offers of the Notes, the Notes are designed for investors who are or have access to a suitably qualified independent financial adviser or who have engaged a suitably qualified discretionary investment manager, in order to understand the characteristics and risks associated with structured financial products. |
|
| The following are the key risks applicable to the Issuer: | |||
| The Issuer's businesses, earnings ard financial condition may be affected by the instability in the global financial markets The performance of the Issuer may be influenced by the economic conditions of the countries in which it operates, particularly the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. |
|||
| The precise nature of all the risks and uncertainties the Issuer faces as a result of current economic conditions cannot be predicted and many of these risks are outside the control of the Issuer and materialisation of such risks may adversely affect the Issuer's financial condition and results of operations. |
|||
| The Issuer's business performance could be affected if its capital resources and liquidity are not managed effectively |
|||
| The Issuer's capital and liquidity is critical to its ability to operate its businesses, to grow organically and to take advantage of strategic opportunities. The Issuer mitigates capital and liquidity risk by careful management of its balance sheet, through, for example, capital and other fund- raising activities, disciplined capital allocation, maintaining surplus liquidity buffers and diversifying its funding sources. The Issuer is required by regulators in jurisdictions in which it undertakes regulated activities, to maintain adequate capital and liquidity. The maintenance of adequate capital and liquidity is also necessary for the Issuer's financial flexibility in the face of any turbulence and uncertainty in the global economy. |
|||
| Extreme and unanticipated market circumstances may cause exceptional changes in the Issuer's markets, products and other businesses. Any exceptional changes, including, for example, substantial reductions in profits and retained earnings as a result of write-downs or otherwise, delays in the disposal of certain assets or the ability to access sources of liability, including customer deposits and wholesale funding, as a result of these circumstances, or otherwise, that limit the Issuer's ability effectively to manage its capital resources could have a material adverse impact on the Issuer's profitability and results. If such exceptional changes persist, the Issuer may not have sufficient financing available to it on a timely basis or on terms that are favourable to it to develop or enhance its businesses or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. |
|||
| Credit risk exposes the Issuer to losses caused by financial or other problems experienced by its clients or other third parties |
|||
| Risks arising from changes in credit quality and the recoverability of loans and amounts due from counterparties are inherent in a wide range of the Issuer's businesses. The Issuer is exposed to the risk that third parties that owe it money, securities or other assets will not perform, or will be unable to perform, their obligations which could adversely affect the Issuer's results of operations or financial condition. These parties include clients, governments, trading or reinsurance counterparties, clearing agents, exchanges, other financial intermediaries or institutions, as well as issuers whose securities the Issuer holds, who may default on their obligations to the Issuer due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure, economic or political conditions or other reasons. In addition, approximately one third of the Issuer's loan portfolio comprises lending collateralised by property. There is no individual |
|||
| concentration risk and there is little lending against speculative property development. A deterioration in the property markets could affect the quality |
| Section D-Risks | ||
|---|---|---|
| of the Issuer's security relating to such loans and could negatively impact on the level of impairments required to be recorded in the event that a borrower defaults. The occurrence of such events has led and may lead to future impairment charges and additional write-downs and losses for the Issuer. In addition, the information that the Issuer uses to manage its credit risk may be inaccurate or incomplete, leading to an inability on the part of the Issuer to manage its credit risk effectively. |
||
| D.3 | Risks specific to the securities: |
Series 134S are Secured Floating Rate Notes. ISDA Credit Linkage applies in respect of the Notes. |
| Coupon Deferral: If a coupon deferral event occurs investors in the Notes may not receive the full coupon due on the Notes, will not receive any compensation for any delayed receipt of the coupon (or any part thereof), and may never receive the coupon where the coupon continues to be deferred up to the maturity of the Notes. |
||
| Tax: Noteholders will be liable for and/or subject to any taxes, including withholding tax, payable in respect of the Notes. |
||
| Key risks specific to Secured Notes | ||
| Security may not be sufficient to meet all payments: Any net proceeds realised upon enforcement of any security granted by the Issuer over a pool of collateral ("Collateral Pool") will be applied in or towards satisfaction of the claims of, among others, the security trustee and any appointee and/or receiver appointed by the trustee in respect of the Secured Notes before the claims of the holders of the relevant Secured Notes. Since the net enforcement proceeds may not be sufficient to meet all payments in respect of the Secured Notes, investors may suffer a loss on their investment. |
||
| Collateral Pool may secure more than one series of secured Notes: A Collateral Pool may secure the Issuer's obligations with respect to more than one series of Secured Notes and an event of default under the Notes with respect to any one series of Secured Notes secured by such Collateral Pool may trigger the early redemption of all other series that are secured by the same Collateral Pool in order for the security over the entire Collateral Pool to be enforced. Such cross-default may, among other things, result in losses being incurred by holders of the Secured Notes which would not otherwise have arisen. |
||
| Substitution of Posted Collateral: Collateral posted as security for the Issuer's obligations under the Notes may, at the Issuer's request, be substituted for other items of collateral "Eligible Collateral" provided that on the date of transfer the value of the new collateral is equal to or exceeds the value of the original collateral. Any such substitution request is subject to (a) verification by the entity appointed as the verification agent (the "Verification Agent") that the new item of collateral is. Eligible Collateral; and (b) approval by the Trustee. However, neither the Verification Agent nor the Trustee is obliged to confirm that the value of the new item of Eligible Collateral is equal to or exceeds the value of the original item of posted collateral. Following any such substitution, the market value of the new item of Eligible Collateral may fall below the value of the original item of posted collateral, and the net proceeds realised upon enforcement of the relevant Collateral Pool may therefore be less than if no such substitution had been made. |
||
| Key risks specific to Credit Linked Notes |
| Section D - Risks | ||
|---|---|---|
| Credit Linkage: The Notes are linked to the credit of Old Mutual plc (the "Reference Entity") (the "Credit Linked Notes"). If a Reference Entity becomes subject to a Credit Event then the redemption price which would otherwise be payable in respect of the portion of the Note linked to such Reference Entity (the "Relevant Portion") will be reduced in accordance with the Recovery Rate. There is a risk that an investor in the Credit Linked Notes may receive considerably less than the amount paid by such investor. If one of the Reference Entities become subject to a Credit Event an investor's return on the Credit Linked Notes may be zero. |
||
| Specific Recovery Rate in Credit Linked Notes - ISDA Credit Linkage: The redemption price payable on the Relevant Portion of the Notes following the occurrence of a Credit Event in respect of a Reference Entity will be determined by reference to the market value of specific reference obligation(s) of the Reference Entity ("Recovery Rate"). There is a risk that the return payable to an investor in a Credit Linked Notes may be different from the return that investors would have received had they been holding that debt instrument or another debt instrument issued by the specified Reference Entity. |
