Principal on the Bonds will be repaid in three installments on April 28, 2029, April 28, 2030 and at maturity. For more information see “Description of the Bonds—General—Basic Terms.” The Republic may redeem the Bonds, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time prior to the date that is three months prior to the scheduled maturity of the Bonds (“Par Call Date”), by paying the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed and a “make-whole” amount, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning on the Par Call Date, the Republic may redeem the Bonds in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, at the Republic’s option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed to the date of redemption. For more information see “Description of the Bonds—Redemption and Repurchase— Optional Redemption.” The Bonds constitute and will constitute direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated External Debt (as defined herein) of the Republic for which the full faith and credit of the Republic is pledged.
