On 14 November 2024, Infracorp B.S.C.

(c) as the obligor (the Exchange Offer). The Exchange Offer and the New Senior Sukuk have been approved by the shareholders of Infracorp, however the final terms thereof remain subject to requisite approvals/notifications. This notice supplements, and must be read in conjunction with, the First Notice.

Amendments to the First Notice

1.    The First Notice attached a term sheet setting out inter alia the key terms of the New Senior Sukuk (the Original Term Sheet).  The Original Term Sheet has now been revised by Infracorp, and the revised term sheet is attached hereto (the Revised Term Sheet).

2.   The First Notice contained a section titled "Consent solicitation and additional information with respect to the Hybrid Certificates" which has now been revised by Infracorp and is set out below: 

Infracorp will be undertaking a consent solicitation exercise (the CS) with respect to the Hybrid Certificates which is expected to be effective by 5 December 2024. Pursuant to the CS, Infracorp will request holders of the Hybrid Certificates to agree to certain amendments to the terms of the Hybrid Certificates with such amendments being those described in sub-paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) below save that, in relation to sub-paragraph (3) below, the italicised text is included by way of disclosure only and does not, and will not, form part of the contractual terms and conditions of the Hybrid Certificates. All other aspects of the terms and conditions of the Hybrid Certificates as set out in the declaration of trust dated 15 March 2022 as supplemented by the supplemental declaration of trust dated 28 March 2024 in each case made between Infracorp Sukuk Limited, Infracorp and Citibank N.A., London Branch will remain unchanged:

(2)    the First Call Date to be amended from 15 March 2027 to 12 December 2029; and

(3)    the expected Profit Rate to be amended:

The Schedule to the Revised Term Sheet also sets out amounts and dates on which Infracorp presently intends to make payments based on its business plan and expected capacity to pay (noting that such information does not, and will not, form part of the contractual terms and conditions of the Hybrid Certificates) (the Additional Information). The Additional Information includes the following with respect to the Hybrid Certificates (please see the Revised Term Sheet for further details):

B.    the respective portions of the profit rate (used to calculate the periodic distribution amounts) that Infracorp presently intends to:

(i)    pay, i.e. to be revised from 4 per cent. per annum to (A) (up to the First Call Date) inter alia the Planned Cash Profit Rate which is to be calculated by reference to 50 per cent of the consolidated net profit of Infracorp for the most recent financial year ended immediately prior to the relevant periodic distribution date, expressed in U.S. dollars (capped at 7.5 per cent. per annum); and (B) (from the First Call Date) 7.5 per cent. per annum;
