U.S.$500,000,000 3.849% Loan Participation Notes due 2022 issued by, but with limited recourse to, MMC Finance Designated Activity Company for the sole purpose of financing a loan to PJSC MMC NORILSK NICKEL Issue Price: 100% MMC Finance Designated Activity Company, a company incorporated as a designated activity company under the laws of Ireland (the “Issuer”), is issuing an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$ 500,000,000 3.849% Loan Participation Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”) for the sole purpose of financing a loan (the “Loan”) to PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, a public joint stock company organised under the laws of the Russian Federation (the “Company” or the “Borrower”), pursuant to a loan agreement dated 6 June 2017 (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Issuer and the Borrower. Pursuant to the trust deed (the “Trust Deed”) relating to the Notes between the Issuer and Citicorp Trustee Company Limited, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Issuer will provide certain security for all payment obligations in respect of the Notes for the benefit of the Noteholders, including a first fixed charge in favour of the Trustee of all amounts paid and payable to it under the Loan Agreement and an assignment to the Trustee of the Issuer’s rights and interests under the Loan Agreement, other than in respect of certain reserved rights (as more fully described in “Overview of the Transaction Structure and the Security”). Interest on the Loan will be payable at a rate of 3.849% per annum semi- annually in arrear on the interest payment date falling on 8 April and 8 October in each year, commencing on 8 October 2017, and, provided that the Issuer receives such payment in full, the Notes will bear interest from, and including, 8 June 2017 on such dates at the same rate. The Notes are limited recourse obligations of the Issuer. In each case where amounts of principal, interest, premium (if any) and additional amounts (if any) are stated to be payable in respect of the Notes, the obligation of the Issuer to make any such payment shall constitute an obligation only to account to the Noteholders, on each date upon which such amounts of principal, interest, premium (if any) and additional amounts (if any) are due, for an amount equivalent to the principal, interest, premium (if any) and additional amounts (if any) actually received by or for the account of the Issuer from the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Issuer will have no other financial obligation under the Notes. Noteholders will be deemed to have accepted and agreed that they will be relying solely and exclusively on the credit and financial standing of the Borrower in respect of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement. The Loan, and correspondingly the Notes, may be redeemed early at the option of the Company in certain circumstances and the Notes, and accordingly the Loan, must be repurchased and redeemed early at the option of the Noteholders, in certain other circumstances, all as more fully described in the Loan Agreement and Terms and Conditions of the Notes.
