Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the “CSSF”) in its capacity as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July 2005 (the “Luxembourg Act”) on prospectuses for securities to approve this document as a prospectus and to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the listing of the Notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admission to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange’s regulated market. The Notes will be rated Baa3 (stable outlook) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BBB- (negative outlook) by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc., and BBB- (negative outlook) by Fitch Ratings Ltd. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organisation. As at the date of this Prospectus, each of the rating agencies is established in the European Union and has applied for registration under Regulation (EU) No 1060/2009 (the CRA Regulation), although notification of the corresponding registration decision has not yet been provided by the relevant competent authority. In general, European regulated investors are restricted from using a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating is provided by a credit rating agency operating in the European Union before 7 June 2010 which has submitted an application for registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes are being offered, sold or delivered: (a) in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”) (as defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act) in reliance on, and in compliance with, Rule 144A; and (b) to Persons (other than U.S. Persons) (each as defined in Regulation S) outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act. Each purchaser of the Notes will be deemed to have made the representations described in “Subscription and Sale” and is hereby notified that the offer and sale of Notes to it is being made in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the offering, an offer or sale of any of the Notes within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act if the offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A. The Notes will initially be represented by two global certificates in registered form (the “Global Certificates”), one of which will be issued in respect of the Notes offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A (the “Restricted Global Certificate”) and will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and the other of which will be issued in respect of the Notes offered and sold in reliance on Regulation S (the “Unrestricted Global Certificate”) and will be registered in the name of a nominee of a common depositary for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”). It is expected that delivery of the Global Certificates will be made on 24 March 2011 or such later date as may be agreed (the “Closing Date”) by the Republic and the Joint Lead Managers (as defined under “Subscription and Sale”).

  • Local Government Unit Borrowing in Croatia: Opportunities and Constraints
    LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT BORROWING IN CROATIA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS Anto Bajo Occasional Paper No. 20 October 2004 © Institute of Public Finance 2004 2 LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT BORROWING IN CROATIA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS1 Abstract The paper analyses the practice and basic features of local government unit borrowing in Croatia from 1997 to 2003. Local government units still rely on classical forms of loans as a form of security for resources for financing capital projects and there is little incentive for the issue of local government bonds. The borrowing conditions laid down are not a good basis on which to develop a local debt market or for facilitating local government borrowing. One of the reasons is also the dominant role of the city of Zagreb, which should be excluded from the establishment of budgetary restrictions on the borrowing of the other local government units in Croatia. Subsidised loans to local government units via the government financial institutions have been in some periods more expensive than via the commercial banks, and it is necessary to carry out a review of their role in the financing of local government unit capital projects. In any analysis of the borrowing and the size of the debt of local government units it is necessary to include the categories of financial assets as a better indicator of solvency and ability to repay debt. The article draws attention to a potential hold-up in the implementation of fiscal decentralisation, because local government units are investing some of their funds in the financial assets (shares and equity) of local utility firms.
