OFFERING CIRCULAR PD SUKUK LIMITED (incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability) U.S.$1,000,000,000 Trust Certificate Issuance Programme Under this U.S.$1,000,000,000 trust certificate issuance programme (the "Programme"), PD Sukuk Limited (in its capacities as issuer and as trustee, the "Trustee") may, subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, from time to time issue trust certificates (the "Certificates") in any currency agreed between the Trustee and the relevant Dealer(s) (as defined below). Certificates may only be issued in registered form. The maximum aggregate face amount of all Certificates from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed U.S.$1,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies calculated as provided in the Programme Agreement described herein), subject to increase as described herein. Certificates may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "Overview of the Programme" and any additional dealer(s) appointed under the Programme from time to time by the Trustee (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References in this Offering Circular to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Certificates being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe to such Certificates. The Certificates will be limited recourse obligations of the Trustee. An investment in Certificates issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks, see "Risk Factors". Each Series (as defined herein) of Certificates issued under the Programme will be constituted by: (a) a master declaration of trust dated 5 July 2021 (the "Master Declaration of Trust") entered into between the Trustee, Private Department of Skh Mohamed Bin Khalid Al Nahyan – LLC (the "Obligor" or the "Company") and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. as donee of certain powers and as delegate of the Trustee (in such capacity, the "Delegate"); and (b) a supplemental declaration of trust (the "Supplemental Declaration of Trust") in relation to the relevant Tranche (as defined herein). Certificates of each Series confer on the holders of the Certificates from time to time (the "Certificateholders") the right to receive certain payments (as more particularly described herein) arising from the assets of a trust declared by the Trustee in relation to the relevant Series (the "Trust") over the relevant Trust Assets (as defined herein). Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for the Certificates issued under the Programme during the period of 12 months from the date of this Offering Circular to be admitted to the London Stock Exchange's International Securities Market ("ISM"). The ISM is not a United Kingdom ("UK") regulated market for the purposes of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 on markets in financial instruments as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA") ("UK MiFIR").

The London Stock Exchange has not approved or verified the contents of this Offering Circular. References in this Offering Circular to Certificates being "admitted to trading" (and all related references) shall mean that such Certificates have been admitted to trading on the ISM so far as the context permits. The Programme provides that Certificates may be listed or admitted to trading, as the case may be, on such other or further stock exchanges or markets as may be agreed between the Trustee, the Obligor and the relevant Dealer(s) (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended) ("MiFID II") and a UK regulated market for the purposes of UK MiFIR). The Trustee may also issue unlisted Certificates and/or Certificates not admitted to trading on any market.
