All Series of the Bonds shall mature on the third anniversary of the Initial Issuer Date.

Interest will not be compounded and shall be payable on Maturity Date, less the amount of any applicable withholding taxes. Each series of the Bonds will be represented by a certificate of indebtedness to be issued and registered in the name of Bank of the Philippine Islands – Asset Management and Trust Group as trustee for the Bondholders. The beneficial interests of each Bondholder in and to the Bonds or series thereof will be shown on and recorded in, and trading thereof will be effected through, the Register of Bondholders maintained by Standard Chartered Bank as registrar. The Bonds shall be issued and traded in denominations of P= 5,000 and in integral multiples thereof. Trading of the Bonds will be done over-the-counter.

Issue Manager and Underwriter BPI Capital Corporation THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS JANUARY 18, 2006 THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT APPROVED THE P252,000,000 AYALA LAND HOMESTARTER BONDS OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND SHOULD BE REPORTED IMMEDIATELY TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. This Offering is primarily targeted to benefit the low to middle-income market segment. Ayala Land’s objective is to encourage this segment to save sufficient funds to enable them to own real estate property in the future. To make the Bonds more affordable to the target market, it shall be issued in a series and the different series of the Bonds shall be issued against monthly payments by the Bondholders over a period of three (3) years. Since this is a debt issuance, holders of the Bonds shall not be entitled to any dividends from the Issuer. Ayala Land expects that the initial net proceeds of the Offering will amount to approximately P5,000,000= after fees and expenses. Thereafter, Ayala Land expects to receive approximately P7,000,000 a month over the next 35 months. Given the amount of the proceeds expected to be received by the Issuer on a monthly basis, such proceeds are not projected to pay for any specific transaction but instead shall be used by Ayala Land for general corporate purposes. For its services as Underwriter, BPI Capital will receive up to 2.0% of the aggregate issue amount. Such amount shall be inclusive of underwriting and selling fees.
