CHANGE IN RATING AGENCY AND AFFIRMATION OF CREDIT RATINGS
Noteholders are advised that after following the due processes as
required in terms of the Programme documentation, Torque has
appointed Global Credit Rating Co. (“GCR”) as the replacement
agency for Fitch Ratings. This replacement was as a result of the
press release by the FSB dated 4 September 2015 advising of the
decision to deregister Fitch ratings as a rating agency.
On 29 April 2016, GCR allocated ratings to the Torque notes as
follows:
TORQ3 ZAR200 000 000.00, Class A3 notes due 15 August 2017 were
allocated a rating of ‘AAA(ZA)(sf)’, Outlook Stable.
TORQ7 ZAR250 000 000.00, Class A4 notes due 15 August 2019 were
allocated a rating of ‘AAA (ZA)(sf)’, Outlook Stable.
TORQ8 ZAR238 000 000.00, Class A5 notes due 17 August 2018 were
allocated a rating of ‘AAA(ZA)(sf)’, Outlook Stable.
TORQ9 ZAR84 000 000.00, Class B2 notes due 15 August 2018 were
allocated a rating OF ‘A+(ZA)(sf)’, Outlook Stable.

allocated a rating of ‘BBB(ZA)(sf)’, Outlook Stable.
