Road Infrastructure Success Stories - The German Market 8 Availability Model A7, Germany Key features of financing . While investigating the two alternative financing options, bond financing solution generated notable savings compared to bank financing. . Final solution was a multi-sourced financing with 90:10 gearing: . Bond placement - EUR 430m of senior secured notes were placed with seven investors using private placement (limited number of investors, commitments similar to banks, validity periods for several months, investors carry out due diligence like a bank, external rating not necessarily required) . Project Bond Credit Enhancement (PBCE) - Benefiting from a 1.5 notch uplift due to the EUR 86 M EIB PBCE, the notes were rated A3 by Moody’s. PBCE provided additional liquidity in the form of an irrevocable Letter of Credit to either fund cost overruns where the longstop date can still be met or to compensate senior debt in a termination scenario . Milestone Bridge Facility - Construction milestone payments from the Authority to be bridged with a EUR 82m revolving Milestone Bridge Facility provided by commercial banks . Challenges and results: . Complex funding mix resulting in complex intercreditor issues . Diverse investor group with EIB involvement as PBCE provider and bond investor . At BAFO stage, the EUR 430m offering was approx. 2x covered by the investors who provided exclusive support in the tender phase .

Road Infrastructure Success Stories - The German Market 11 Conclusion & Outlook
Project financing market: classical bank loan vs. bonds . Former disadvantages of project bonds for sponsors have nearly disappeared . Despite a much more comprehensive security package and higher bidding costs, project bonds can generate significant savings compared to bank financing . However, recent deals show that banks are currently under high pressure regarding financing and offer very competitive pricing and covenants. In addition banks can also act as bond investors and/or offer fixed rate products Project financing market: current situation . Currently European financing markets show high degree of liquidity but very few investment opportunities . Share of bond financing is still below 20% of total project finance market . 2014 showed vast financing interest for well structured projects in well rated countries like Benelux, Germany, France, UK, Scandinavia . No major PPP transport projects in CEE in 2014 . CEE outlook (2015/2016): . Great interest of investors on CZ, SK and PL . Attractive to finance markets: sovereign rating of AA- (CZ), A (SK) and A- (PL) . Projects (e.g. D4 SK) still in preparatory phase
