The Issuer confirms that during the Period no underlying assets were subject to a demand to
repurchase or replace due to a breach of the representations and warranties.
Noteholders are reminded of the announcement released on 23 August 2023, “Update of portfolio
covenant and remedy of breach”. The payroll deduction percentage portfolio covenant was
breached during the measurement period. The percentage as at 31 July 2022 was 89.79%
compared to the 90% portfolio covenant. The breach did not constitute an event of default.
With effect from 26 August 2022 (being the date agreed with GCR Ratings), the required
minimum percentage was lowered by 1%, from 90% to 89%, in accordance with the definition of
"Required Minimum Payroll Deduction Percentage” per clause 1.240, read with the definition of
“Most Recent Evaluation Date” per clause 1.164 of the Nqaba Asset Backed Note Programme.
The breach of this covenant has thus been remedied with effect from that date.
On 29 November 2022, the Noteholders agreed a further reduction of the minimum payroll
deduction percentage to 87%, along with a reduction in the percentage of Required Direct Eskom
Employees from 86% to 84%. The definition of Required Direct Employees Percentage was
amended to correct an allowable "increase" to the intended "decrease" in the percentage from
that determined at the previous Credit Enhancement Determination Date.
The Issuer confirms that there were no breaches to any of the portfolio covenants during the
current measurement period. Although no portfolio covenants have been breached, the issuer
may not purchase additional home loans due to the Early Amortisation event that occurred on 31
July 2020.
