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. Please refer to the “Risk Factors Section” of the Prospectus for further details. Each potential investor in these Debentures must determine the suitability of investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether the investor: i. Has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of these Debentures, the merits and risks of investing in the Debentures and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus; ii. Has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in these Debentures and the impact the Debentures will have on its overall investment portfolio; iii. Has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in these Debentures; iv. Understands thoroughly the terms of these Debentures, including the provisions relating to the Non-Viability Conversion of the Debentures, and is familiar with the behaviour of financial markets; and v. Is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks. 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.
