Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, each outstanding Debenture of this Issue will be converted, on a full and permanent basis We advise you to read the content of the Prospectus carefully prior to investment. This investment instrument is riskier than a bank deposit. These Debentures are complex products and have provision for loss absorption in the form of Non-Viability Conversion as set out in the Prospectus. This means that following the occurrence of a Trigger Event as may be determined by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the Bank will convert the Debentures into Ordinary Voting Shares. An investor will be deemed paid in full the principlal plus accrued and unpaid interest due on the Debentures, upon such conversion. The number and value of Ordinary Shares to be received on a Non-Viability Conversion may be worth significantly less than the Par Value of the Debentures and can be variable.

A potential investor should not invest in these Debentures unless the investor has the expertise (either alone or with its financial and other professional advisors) to evaluate how the Debentures will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Debentures and the impact this investment will have on the potential investor’s overall investment portfolio.
