| Auction Settlement Terms: | Auction Settlement Terms for The Hellenic Republic
For the purposes of the 2012 The Hellenic Republic Credit Derivatives Auction Settlement Terms (the “AST”), the Physical Settlement Period for International Law Obligations (as defined in the AST) has been shortened as set out below. The International Law Obligations are subject to The Hellenic Republic’s Private Sector Involvement (“PSI”) exercise. The expiration date for holders of the International Law Obligations to tender them for exchange or to submit their consent to do so expires on 23 March 2012. Therefore, the Physical Settlement Period for the International Law Obligations has been shortened so that the recipients of such bonds may participate in the tender offer. The Physical Settlement Period for the International Law Obligations is: (a) one Business Day following the Auction Date in relation to a Customer Buy RAST; (b) two Business Days following the Auction Date in relation to an Auction RAST; and (c) three Business Days following the Auction Date in relation to a Customer Sell RAST. In light of the short Physical Settlement Periods for International Law Obligations, (i) the period during which a NOPS Amendment Notice specifying one or more International Law Obligations as Deliverable Obligations can be effectively delivered has been shortened to one Business Day following the Auction Date in relation to a Customer Buy RAST, two Business Days following the Auction Date in relation to an Auction RAST and three Business Days following the Auction Date in relation to a Customer Sell RAST; and (ii) if Buyer fails to deliver International Law Obligations during the applicable Physical Settlement Period and Seller fails to buy-in the International Law Obligations on the Business Day after the relevant Physical Settlement Date, Buyer will be required to deliver a NOPS Amendment Notice specifying Deliverable Obligations which are not International Law Obligations. |
| Additional Information regarding triggering in DTCC: |
If you intend on triggering through DTCC, please note that paragraph B of Section VIIIA (Processing for Restructuring Credit Events) of the Operating Procedures for the Warehouse Trust Company (which can be found here) includes language that confirms that a trigger through DTCC (credit event notice facility) constitutes deemed delivery of a Credit Event Notice and as such, no additional notices are required to be delivered to trigger the occurrence of an Event Determination Date. |
