Information & Guidance Pack
Information
Through our loan system which took over two years to refine and then implement we are able to help turn visions into reality.
As a privately funded Lender we are able to look at applications that many banks and lending institutions would normally
decline.
Thanks to our group of open minded investors we are able to be flexible in our approach to funding Borrowers.
We will consider applications from Companies, Institutions, and individuals for loans of between one million and up to a
maximum of two billion.
Loans can be for any genuine project and especially those that have a humanitarian element to them. Creating jobs,
affordable housing, helping to secure the long term future of companies, assisting new and developing businesses to meet
their own realistic goals and ambitions are all the kind of loan applications we will consider.

fees related to the placement of the bank debt instrument; This is a proof that funds are available as shown
in (Exhibit 3 within the loan agreement and shown within the sample loan agreement)
All further payments forservice and transmission fees for all the following instruments will be made by direct transfers out of the proceeds of
the discounting of instruments.”

“EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In December 2007, the European Repo Council (ERC) of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA) conducted the 14th in its
series of semi-annual surveys of the repo market in Europe. The latest survey asked a sample of financial institutions in Europe for the
value of their repo contracts that were still outstanding at close of business on December 12, 2007. Replies were received from 68 offices
of 62 financial groups, mainly banks. Returns were also made directly by the principal tri-party repo agents and automatic repo trading
systems (ATS) in Europe, and by the London-based Wholesale Market Brokers’ Association (WMBA). Total repo business The total value
of repo contracts outstanding on the books of the 68 institutions who participated in the latest survey was EUR 6,382 billion,

All the banks the lenders deal with (Citibank, Nomura, Société Générale, BNP, Crédit Suisse…) follow the same closing procedure through
Euroclear, DTC….
The higher rating of the instrument put for sale, the better the quote from the “repo” bank.
MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1) Who are the main figures of the Lending Group?
The Lender has been able to bring together strategic players (investors, banks and various financial institutions) in order to
provide loans at affordable rates to borrowers in need of USD $1Million or more in Euros or GBP or its equivalent in USD
for project funding purposes.
(a) The Lenders work with very wealthy and affluent investors from the Middle East who wish to remain
anonymous.
(b) The Lenders have banks that sell, through various exchanges in Europe and in North America AA (or better)
rated bank debt instruments.
(c) The Lender or fund syndicate are located in the Middle East who causes said bank debt instruments
(Bonds/MTN/BG) to be purchased by Lender and placed on account of selected borrowers in the world to
organise lending.
(d) The exclusive Mandate/Compliance Officer of the Lender is based in the UK,.
2) Why do I have to provide Money in order to obtain Money?
The reason why funds have to be provided by the Borrower initially is to verify that the Borrower is really
investing equity in his project.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Cont..
3) What is a call option fee and why should I bear that cost?
When the Lenders bankers acting on behalf of their Investors go to the various stock exchanges (Berlin, London, New York
…) to buy irrevocable bank debt instruments (Bonds/MTN/Bank Guarantees) they have to place a bid in order to reserve
these one year instruments prior to purchasing them.
This costs money. This money is expanded for and on behalf of the Borrowers.
It is only natural that the costs associated to this exercise be borne by the Borrowers.
These instruments are purchased at the best possible price by the Lenders Investors.
When the Lender signs an agreement with the Borrower, the first party that takes a major obligation on is the Lender. He
takes on the responsibility of providing the Borrower with sufficient AA or AAA rated bank collateral in order to generate
loan proceeds for the Borrower in a restricted period of time (30 to 45 banking days).
Shortly after signing the contract, the Lender, in order to fulfil his obligations, goes to the London or to the Berlin Stock
Exchange and pays for a call option on a AA or AAA rated one year bank debt instrument of many million dollars to make
sure he can fulfil his obligations towards the Borrower at the time of issuance of the MT799 or receipt of a verifiable current
bank statement.
He un-blocks funds to be able to buy this instrument on short notice also.
At this stage of the loan transaction the Borrower has no responsibilities whatsoever and is never at risk financially.
The Borrower could sign his loan agreement and walk away from the transaction and have no liabilities whatsoever towards
the Lender.
This is why the Lender transfers the expense of buying a call option on the stock exchange for a selected bank debt
instrument to the Borrower.
He could also charge the Borrower for interest on his funds. He chooses not to do so.
In order to test the commitment of the Borrower to closing this loan transaction he transfers the cost of the call option on to
the Borrower.
4) How do funds or bank instruments move from one owner to another?
All transfers of funds or transfers of bank instruments from one owner to another are settled through central banks or through
authorised and specialised institutions or organisations such as Euroclear or Fedwire.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is an international organisation of central banks that oversees all central banks
in the world and monitors carefully international settlements.
5) Are bonds and funds moved through swift?
SWIFT is solely a carrier of messages. It does not hold funds nor does it manage accounts on behalf of customers, nor does
it store financial information on an on-going basis. As a data carrier, SWIFT transports messages between two financial
institutions. This activity involves the secure exchange of proprietary data while ensuring its confidentiality and integrity.
Bonds or funds are not moved from one bank to another by SWIFT.
SWIFT is not a cross-border settlement organisation.
People mistakenly believe the SWIFT organisation wires funds.
SWIFT is a favoured carrier of messages and commitments made by one bank to another? However transfers of funds or
bank instruments are only made through central banks or dedicated institutions such as Euroclear.

8) Bank Instruments - How Can I clarify its authenticity?
The bank Instruments issued will have identifying features and on top of this will be transferred to the Borrowers account
through Euroclear www.euroclear.com
The purpose of Euroclear is to facilitate money movements around the world, particularly by handling the resolution of sales
of European stocks and bonds and bank Instruments, in which market Euroclear are a major player,
The two identifying features on the Bank Instruments are the CUSIP and ISIN numbers:
CUSIP - Number
identifying all stocks and registered bonds, using the Committee on Uniform Securities IdentificationProcedures
. Brokers will use a security's CUSIP number to look it up on a computer terminal to get further information. TheCUSIP number will also be listed on any trading confirmation tickets. The CUSIP system makes it easier to settle and clear
trades.
ISIN - An International Securities Identifying Number uniquely identifies a security. Its structure is defined in ISO 6166.
Securities for which ISINs are issued include bonds, commercial paper, equities and warrants. The ISIN code is a 12-
character alpha-numerical code that does not contain information characterising financial instruments but serves for uniform
identification of a security at trading and settlement.
9) -What does swift MT799 stand for?
As mentioned earlier people commonly believe funds are moved from one country to another through the banking channel by
SWIFT. This is wrong.
MT stands for Message Text.
SWIFT has introduced a coding system (MT100 to MT799).
Depending on the type of transaction engaged between two members of the SWIFT organisation a different coded message
will be used with a different code number.
One of the most commonly used coded messages in the banking industry is a MT799.
Bank references, and proof of funds on account swift wire messages are sent by SWIFT through MT799 coded messages.
Both messaging systems do not move funds from one bank to another. The official clearing agents do that.
10) How soon after sending an MT799 or a current verifiable bank statement can I expect to receive
the bank instrument on account?
One should receive notification by swift message MT760 of the transfer of ownership of the instrument in favour of the
borrower within 48 hrs of time of receipt of the MT799 or current verifiable bank statement..
11) Does that mean that the instrument is now physically in the possession of the borrower?
No. The borrower is advised from that moment on that he is now made the beneficiary of the bank debt instrument. But
delivery of the hard copy of said instrument is achieved by bonded courier within seven (7) days after issuance of the MT760.
start. Usually the trade is settled through Euroclear on the same day of signing the contract.
The borrower may be required to pay the amount shown as proof of funds requested from the Lender as shown in the MT799
or on the current verifiable bank statement before selling or discounting said instrument.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Cont..
12) Will that prevent our bankers from going ahead with the discounting process or selling process of
the instrument?
No. The Lender will cause their bankers to send to the Borrower’s account the following:
1) The bank debt instrument via MT760;
2) The invoice for the amounts referred to in the MT799 or requested on the current verifiable bank statement..
3) Safekeeping receipt of the stock exchange market where the instrument is quoted;
4) The bond power;
5) Corporate deed of assignment;
6) Confirmation of the transfer of the authority over the Euroclear account in favour of the borrower;
7) Confirmation of the ability to move said instrument from one account to another;
8) Copy of the prospectus of the issuing bank.
13) What happens after receiving the SWIFT message MT760?
Lender will provide their bankers with a copy of the MT760 in order to obtain a quote for the repurchase of the designated
bank debt instrument.
Once the quote is acceptable, the Lender banker will contact the Borrowers banker to verify the current bank statement and
to confirm that they are sending over the MT760 in order to organise the trade.
A bank contract is handed to the Borrower through his bank. He signs it and the trade can start. Usually the trade is settled
through Euroclear on the same day of signing the contract.
The Borrower may be required to pay the amount mentioned in the MT799 or the proof of funds on the current verifiable
bank statement before selling or discounting said instrument
14) What guarantees are there that the Borrower's bank will permit an MT760 on a leased
instrument as it is not owned by the Borrower?
The instruments sent to our Borrower’s account come in full ownership of these owners.
They have been previously purchased by our investors.
The original instruments are being sent within seven (7) banking days from the time of payment of the services fees.
Control over the Euroclear account is relinquished in favour of our Borrower at the time of receipt of the MT760 in the
Borrower’s bank.
This is done to allow the Borrower to start negotiating the sale of said instruments.
Clearing of the sale of the instruments is made through Euroclear.
The instruments arrive in the accounts of our Borrower without any liens and encumbrances.
No undertaking is required from our Borrowers to return said instruments on or before expiry date of these bank debt
instruments.
15) - What restrictions are placed on the MT760 message that block the instrument?
There are no restrictions on the instrument or MT760. The instrument can be freely moved from one bank to another,
pledged, transferred or sold…
16) - What guarantees are in place actually to ensure that the instrument gets delivered
correctly & without restrictions (as restrictions could make the instrument unusable)?
After issuing its MT799 or a verifiable current bank statement, the Borrower soon receives on their account the following:
See list in 14 above
Upon receiving these documents and elements our Borrowers have nine banking days or eleven calendar days to decide
to pay the service fees or not.
In the interim we will make sure our Borrowers get their offer from our discounters before anything happens.
17) - Does the documentation received state there is an irrevocable exit buyer?
If within nine (9) banking days (72 banking hours) from receipt of the MT760 we do not provide our Borrowers with a
firm offer to buy, discount or pledge on a non recourse basis their bank instruments then our Borrowers can choose not
to pay for the bank instruments on the grounds of the loan agreement signed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Cont..
18) - What guarantees are in place to ensure that once the instrument is delivered correctly it will
automatically be sold to the exit buyer?
Please refer to the above
19) - What guarantees are in place ensure that if the delivery of an unrestricted instrument fails or the
selling of the instrument to the exit buyer fails, the 40,000 Euros are returned to the borrower's account
and the 960,000 Euros are also returned?
This is why in the loan agreement we clearly identify the bank instruments we wish to use for our Borrowers. Our Borrowers
are provided with a copy of a Bloomberg printout of the selected instrument and our discounters (banks, financial
institutions) confirm to us on a private basis their interest in buying said instrument or any other one we have on reserve
before we even go into action mode with our Borrowers and press the go button for the payment of the call option fees and
the issuance of the MT799 or provide a current verifiable bank statement..
. Once again the call option fees are not expanded until we hold from our discounters or re-purchasers an offer to buy or
discount the selected instrument.
And on the other hand service fees are not paid unless our borrowers receive the assurance and firm offer from our
discounters or buyers, which are major banks and financial institutions that the selected instrument is going to be bought.
