TERMINATION AND REPLACEMENT OF PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Knossos was appointed by the Issuer as Portfolio Manager in respect of the Notes on 5 October 2018 pursuant to the Portfolio Management Agreement.

Knossos has notified the Issuer that, due to a recent change in local regulation to which it is subject in the Cayman Islands, it will no longer be able to act as the Portfolio Manager of the Notes and has accordingly requested the termination of its appointment. The Issuer is currently in discussions with Knossos in relation to the termination of its appointment and the appointment of a suitable replacement.

No action is required from Noteholders at this time. The Issuer will issue a further communication to Noteholders when details of the replacement Portfolio Manager have been clarified. This further communication will detail the process by which the new appointment will be effected and may include a request for Noteholders to approve the appointment by way of a Noteholder resolution.
