The Further Series No. 2 Notes will be consolidated, and form a single series, with the Original Series No. 2 Notes on 1 March 2016. The GDP-linked Securities consist of U.S.$2,916,421,000 in notional amount of GDP-linked Securities (the “Original GDP-linked Securities”) issued on 12 November 2015, U.S.$111,394,000 in notional amount of GDP-linked Securities (the “Further GDP-linked Securities”) issued on 22 December 2015, and U.S.$ 91,857,000 in notional amount of GDP-linked Securities (the “Additional Further GDP-linked Securities”) issued on 12 February 2016.

Each series of Notes bears interest from and including 1 September 2015 at the rate of 7.75 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear on 1 March and 1 September in each year, commencing on 1 March 2016, except that the Further Notes bear interest from and including 2 November 2015 and the Additional Further Series No. 1 Notes bear interest from and including 12 February 2016. The GDP-linked Securities do not bear interest and will expire on 31 May 2040. The Securities were issued as part of the overall debt operation undertaken by Ukraine to meet the requirements of the IMF’s 2015 EFF (as defined below) (the “Debt Operation”). The Original Notes and Original GDP-linked Securities were issued together as a package to holders of Ukraine’s then existing Eurobonds and state-guaranteed Eurobonds (the “Old Notes”) in consideration for the exchange of their holdings of Old Notes. According to the terms of the exchange (the “Sovereign Exchange”) (the “Exchange Terms”), each participating holder of Old Notes received (i) New Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to 80 per cent. of the principal amount of such holder’s holding of Old Notes (plus accrued interest to 1 September 2015 on the Old Notes) and (ii) GDP-linked Securities representing 20 per cent. of the principal amount of such Old Notes. Accordingly the notional amount of the GDP-linked Securities delivered to each participating holder in the Sovereign Exchange corresponded to the amount of the haircut accepted by such holder on the original principal amount of its Old Notes, thereby replacing the holder’s principal claim on Ukraine under the Old Notes in such amount with potential value recovery linked to the GDP growth of Ukraine. The Further Notes and Further GDP-linked Securities were issued as a second stage of the Debt Operation as a package in exchange for the then outstanding loan participation notes (“LPNs”) of the City of Kyiv (the “City of Kyiv Exchange”). The City of Kyiv Exchange was carried out on a basis similar to the Exchange Terms, except that (i) participating holders of LPNs received New Notes maturing in 2019 and 2020 in an aggregate principal amount equal to 75 per cent. of the principal amount of such holder’s holding of LPNs (plus accrued interest to 2 November 2015 on the LPNs) and (ii) GDP-linked Securities representing 25 per cent. of the principal amount of such LPNs. The Additional Further Notes and Additional Further GDP-linked Securities were issued as a third stage of the Debt Operation as a package in exchange for the termination of certain state-guaranteed loans extended by Sberbank of Russia (“Sberbank”) to state-owned entities (Ukravtodor and Yuzhnoye) (the “Sberbank Exchange”). The Sberbank Exchange was also carried out on a basis similar to the Exchange Terms, except that (i) Sberbank received New Notes maturing in 2019 in an aggregate principal amount equal to 75 per cent. of the principal amount of the relevant guaranteed loans (plus accrued interest to 12 February 2016 on the guaranteed loans) and (ii) GDP-linked Securities representing 25 per cent. of the principal amount of such guaranteed loans. Following the issuance thereof, the Notes and the GDP-linked Securities trade separately. However, there are contractual connections between the Notes and the GDP-linked Securities, including through the default provisions in the Notes and the put option in the GDP-linked Securities.
