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.

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. See “Terms and Conditions of the Notes” and “Terms and Conditions of the GDP-linked Securities”.

Gabon Bonds Post Biggest Selloff in Year After IMF Flags Debt Woes By Ray Ndlovu April 15, 2026 at 1:22 PM GMT+2 Save Translate Listen 2:20 Takeaways by Bloomberg AI Hide Gabon’s dollar bonds sold off after the International Monetary Fund’s latest report indicated the country is facing worse budget pressures than expected. The country's dollar-denominated bonds were the worst performers across emerging markets, with its notes due in 2031, 2031, and 2029 shedding more than 2.5 to three cents. The IMF report projected Gabon’s deficit at 10% this year, compared to last year’s 8.5%, with the gap expected to widen further to 11.2% in 2027 and to 12% in 2028. Gabon’s dollar bonds sold off the most in more than a year after the International Monetary Fund’s latest report indicated the country is facing worse budget pressures than expected. The central African nation’s three dollar-denominated bonds were the worst performers across emerging markets on Wednesday, bucking positive sentiment spurred elsewhere by hopes of a peace deal in the Middle East. Its notes due February 2031 fell more than three cents to trade at 84.97 cents on the dollar as of 12:15 a.m. in London, according to CBBT composite pricing. The yield jumped to 10.7%, having fallen into the single digits earlier this week for the first time since late 2024. Securities maturing July 2031 and in 2029 shed more than 2.5 cents, while Gabon’s yield spread over Treasuries widened by 86 basis points to 760 basis points, according to indicative intraday data from a JPMorgan Chase & Co index. Gabon's Dollar Bond Drops on Budget Fears Bonds had risen on higher oil, IMF deal hopes Note: CBBT composite pricing data used Source: Bloomberg The selloff follows the release of the IMF’s World Economic Outlook report which showed a worsening financial position in Gabon. While Gabon — a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries — benefits from higher oil prices, the report projected the country’s deficit at 10% this year, compared to last year’s 8.5%. The gap is expected to widen further to 11.2% in 2027 and to 12% in 2028, according to the IMF. These projections are wider than what Gabon had previously revealed, said Leo Morawiecki, an emerging markets analyst at Abrdn Investments Ltd. He noted that the new projections come shortly after Gabon formally requested an IMF program, and confirm investors’ fears it had been underclubbing its budget woes. “I always thought they were under reporting their fiscal and debt numbers,” Morawiecki said. “Gabon is now being transparent in the hope it will get them an IMF deal.” Read: Gabon’s Dollar Bonds Rally After Country Seeks New IMF Program Gabon is due to hold discussions about its financing program at this week’s IMF/World Bank Spring Meetings. President Brice Oligui Nguema had instructed his finance minister Thierry Minkoto in February to speed up efforts to secure the program over the next three months.
