Use of Proceeds: Proceeds raised from the issue of Nexus3 Notes will be placed on deposit with Deutsche Bank
Key Characteristics:
Nexus is able to pay the return on Nexus3 Notes through the use of a financial instrument that exposes noteholders to the creditworthiness of a diversified group of at least 100 international and Australian companies via their senior (secured or unsecured) Debt Obligations included in the portfolio, which has a maximum size of $1.5 billion.
If losses arising on the portfolio exceed the $59.1 million Protection Amount, then interest and the principal amount of nexues3 notes will be reduced or not payable or repayable at all.
Key risk:
The key risk is that a number of Portfolio Companies ecperience a weakening in their financial position to the extent that they suffer a Company Evant (such as insolvent or bankrupt, etc.) which results in aggregate losses on their Debt Obligations in the Portfolio exceeding the Protection Amount. If this happens, the Principal Amount of Nexues3 Notes repayable to noteholders, and interest amounts payable to noteholders, will be reduced and, depending on the amount of the aggregate lossed, may not be payable or repayable at all.
