(the "Noteholders" and the "Notes", respectively)
THIS NOTICE IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF
NOTEHOLDERS.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN by the Issuer to the Noteholders in
accordance with Note Condition 18 (Notices) that the Issuer intends
to amend the terms and conditions of the Notes and the supporting
loan notes and trust interest on 15 September 2021, by amending the
documents specified in this notice (the "Notice") in order to
effect the Proposed LIBOR Modification (as defined below).
1. We refer to the note trust deed dated 17 October 2017 between
the Issuer and Citicorp Trustee Company Limited as note trustee (as
amended, supplemented and restated from time to time, the "Note
Trust Deed"), including the terms and conditions of the Notes set
out at Schedule 1 (Terms and Conditions of the Notes) thereto (the
"Note Conditions"), pursuant to which the Notes were constituted on
the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein.
Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings given to them in the Note Trust Deed or the Issuer
Master Framework Agreement (as defined in the Note Trust Deed), as
applicable.
2. Pursuant to Note Condition 15(d) (Additional Right of
Modification in Relation to LIBOR Cessation), the Issuer may make
any modifications to the Note Trust Deed or the Note Conditions or
any other Issuer Documents (other than any Basic Terms
Modification) that the Issuer considers necessary for the purpose
of changing the Screen Rate (any such rate, a "LIBOR Replacement
Rate") and making such other related or consequential amendments as
are necessary or advisable in the reasonable judgment of the Issuer
to facilitate such change (a "LIBOR Modification"), provided that
such modification is undertaken due to the circumstances set out in
Note Condition 15(d)(i)(A), the LIBOR Replacement Rate is a rate
that satisfies Note Condition 15(d)(i)(B) and the other procedural
formalities of Note Condition 15(d) (Additional Right of
Modification in Relation to LIBOR Cessation) have been met.
3. The Issuer intends to amend the Note Conditions, the Series
2017-1 Loan Note Supplement, the Series 2017-1 Supplement and the
Global Note Certificates (the "Amended Documents") to:
(a) remove references to "LIBOR";
(b) introduce the definitions of "Screen" and "Reference Rate"
to refer to a Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA")-based
rate;
(c) change the interest rate calculation provisions applicable
to the Series 2017-1 Investor Interest, the Rate of Interest (as
defined in the Note Conditions), the Series 2017-1 Loan Notes and
the Notes to refer to a SONIA-based rate; and
(d) make certain consequential amendments,
(the "Proposed LIBOR Modification").
The Amended Documents in blackline format can be viewed at the
following website
https://newday.co.uk/investor-relations/securitisation . The
changes set out therein are referred to in this Notice as the
"Proposed Amendments".
4. The Proposed LIBOR Modification is being undertaken due to:
(a) a public statement by the UK Financial Conduct Authority
(the "FCA"), as supervisor of the administrator of LIBOR, that
LIBOR will be permanently or indefinitely discontinued or will be
changed in an adverse manner; and
(b) a public statement by the FCA, as supervisor of the
administrator of LIBOR, that LIBOR may no longer be used or that
its usage is or will be subject to restrictions or adverse
consequences.
5. If the Proposed Amendments are to be implemented in
accordance with this Notice, the Issuer will execute a Written
Resolution authorising the Proposed Amendments which relate to the
Series 2017-1 Loan Note Supplement (to which the Security Trustee
is a party) and the Security Trustee will enter into such
documentation as is required to effect the Proposed Amendments in
reliance on such Written Resolution.
6. The SONIA-based rate which will, pursuant to the Proposed
LIBOR Modification, replace the LIBOR-based Screen Rate will be a
rate based on the compounded daily Sterling Overnight Index Average
plus a credit adjustment spread ("CAS") of 0.0326 per cent. per
annum. The CAS has been calculated on the 5-year historical median
lookback basis using principles outlined in the methodology for
such adjustments contained in the ISDA IBOR Fallback Supplement
(supplement number 70 to the 2006 ISDA Definitions, which can be
found at http://assets.isda.org/media/3062e7b4/23aa1658-pdf/).
7. Pursuant to Note Condition 15(d) (Additional Right of
Modification in Relation to LIBOR Cessation), the Note Trustee is
required to concur with the Issuer in making the Proposed LIBOR
Modification if:
(a) the Issuer (or the Cash Manager on its behalf) has certified
in writing to the Note Trustee that the Issuer or the Principal
Paying Agent (acting on behalf of the Issuer) have not been
notified by Noteholders representing at least 10 per cent. of the
aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the Most Senior Class of
Notes (being the Class A Notes) that they do not consent to the
Proposed LIBOR Modification within 30 calendar days of the date of
this Notice; and
(b) all other conditions set out in Note Condition 15(d)
(Additional Right of Modification in Relation to LIBOR Cessation)
have been satisfied.
8. Class A Noteholders who wish to notify the Issuer that they
do not consent to the Proposed LIBOR Modification must do so by 4
p.m. (London time) on 13 September 2021 (the "Deadline") in
accordance with the terms of this Notice. It is not anticipated
that any meetings of Noteholders will be held in respect of the
Proposed LIBOR Modifications.
9. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED TO BE TAKEN BY ANY NOTEHOLDER WHO DOES
NOT WISH TO OBJECT TO THE PROPOSED LIBOR MODIFICATION.
10. Any Class A Noteholder that wishes to notify the Issuer that
it does not consent to the Proposed LIBOR Modification must ensure
that:
(a) it gives electronic voting instructions to the relevant
clearing system (in accordance with that clearing system's
procedures):
(i) to reject the Proposed LIBOR Modification; and
(ii) specifying the full name of the direct participant
submitting the voting instruction and the account number(s) for the
party making the voting submission(s),
such that the Tabulation Agent will receive that Class A
Noteholder's voting instructions on or before the Deadline; and
(b) the relevant clearing system has received irrevocable
instructions (with which they have complied) to block the Notes
held by such Class A Noteholder in the securities account to which
they are credited with effect from and including the day on which
the electronic voting instruction is delivered to the relevant
clearing system so that no transfers may be effected in relation to
the Notes held by such Class A Noteholder at any time after such
date until the Deadline. Such instructions will only apply to the
Outstanding Principal Amount of Class A Notes blocked in the
relevant clearing system.
The Class A Notes should be blocked in accordance with the
procedures of the relevant clearing system and the deadlines
required by the relevant clearing system. Class A Noteholders
should note that clearing system deadlines may be different to the
Deadline set out herein, and as such Class A Noteholders who wish
to object to the Proposed LIBOR Modification should check the
relevant clearing system's procedures and deadlines ahead of the
Deadline.
11. Any beneficial owner of Class A Notes who is not a direct
participant in the clearing systems must contact its broker,
dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee to arrange
for the accountholder in the relevant clearing system through which
it holds Class A Notes to deliver an electronic voting instruction
in accordance with the requirements of the relevant clearing system
and procure that the Class A Notes are blocked in accordance with
the normal procedures of the relevant clearing system and the
deadlines imposed by such clearing system.
12. Each Class A Noteholder that wishes to object to the
Proposed LIBOR Modification should ensure that the relevant
blocking instructions to the relevant clearing system can be
allocated to the relevant electronic voting instruction. For the
avoidance of doubt, each electronic voting instruction must have an
individual matching blocking instruction.
13. By providing instructions as described above, each
beneficial owner of the Class A Notes authorises the clearing
systems at which their account is maintained to disclose to the
Tabulation Agent, the Principal Paying Agent, the Note Trustee and
the Issuer confirmation that they are the beneficial owner of such
Class A Notes and the Principal Amount Outstanding of such Class A
Notes.
14. If votes objecting to the Proposed LIBOR Modification are
received from holders of at least 10 per cent. of the aggregate
Principal Amount Outstanding of the Most Senior Class of Notes
(being the Class A Notes) by the Deadline, the Issuer will not be
entitled to enter into the Proposed Amendments unless an
Extraordinary Resolution of the holders of the Most Senior Class of
Notes (being the Class A Notes) in is subsequently passed approving
the Proposed Amendments. Following expiry of the Deadline, the
Tabulation Agent will calculate the number of objection
instructions received and notify each of the Issuer, the Note
Trustee and the Security Trustee. If the 10 per cent. threshold is
not reached and the other conditions of Note Condition 15(d) are
satisfied, the Issuer and the Note Trustee will enter into such
documentation as is required to effect the Proposed Amendments on
the Interest Payment Date falling in September 2021 (such date
being 15 September 2021) and Noteholders will be bound by such
Proposed Amendments. Votes delivered in favour of the Proposed
Amendments will not be counted.
15. Additional notifications will be made to Noteholders in
accordance with Note Condition 18 (Notices):
(a) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Deadline,
notifying Noteholders of the voting results; and
(b) if the Proposed LIBOR Modification is to be implemented, as
soon as reasonably practicable following the Interest Payment Date
falling in September 2021 (such date being 15 September 2021),
notifying Noteholders of the implementation of the Proposed
Amendments.
