B. BACKGROUND
1 The Issuer implemented and executed an asset backed securities programme
pursuant to the Programme Memorandum.
2 The terms and conditions of the Notes do not afford the Issuer the option to redeem
Notes under the Programme pursuant to the issue of refinancing notes. The Issuer
wishes to include an additional Condition 7.3.3 in the Conditions to provide that the
Issuer may at any time during the refinancing period, subject to SAHL's prior
written consent, and upon giving notice to the holders of the Notes issue
refinancing notes and/or dispose of home loans in order to redeem all of the
refinanced notes.
3 Following on the inclusion of the additional Condition 7.3.3, the Issuer wishes to
include additional defined terms in the Conditions in order to include a definition for
each of –
3.1 refinancing notice;
3.2 refinancing period;
3.3 refinanced notes; and
3.4 refinancing notes.
4 Following on the amendment of the Conditions to include a further Condition 7.3.3,
the Issuer wishes to amend the applicable pricing supplements currently in issue in
relation to each of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the
Class D Notes (collectively, the "Applicable Pricing Supplements") in order to
include a reference to a refinancing period in each of the Applicable Pricing
Supplements.
The wording of the proposed Condition 7.3.3 is set out in this resolution below.
5 In accordance with the provisions of Condition 21.4.1, unless the holders of least
90% of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes agree in writing to
a shorter period, at least 21 days written notice specifying the place, day and time
of the meeting and the nature of the business for which the meeting is to be held is
to be given by the Security SPV to each Noteholder and to the Issuer. In light of the
Coupon Step-Up Date of each of the Class A Notes, the Class B Notes, the Class C
Notes and the Class D Notes (collectively the "Notes") of 18 July 2016, and in
order to give effect to the proposed amendment to the terms and conditions of the
Notes as contemplated in 2 and 3 above together with the proposed amendment to
the Applicable Pricing Supplements as contemplated in 4 above, the Security SPV
requests that the Noteholders waive the 21 days' notice period of the Meeting, as is
required to be provided under Condition 21.4.1, and further requests that the
Noteholders agree to a shorter notice period of 10 days' prior notice of the Meeting.
