Rationale for the Invitation
Petrol is, among other objectives, currently seeking to optimise
its liability portfolio. To support these objectives, Petrol wishes
to use available cash to reduce the amount of its outstanding debt
and to extend the maturity date of the Notes.
Cash to be Received for the Notes
Noteholders whose offers to sell are accepted by Petrol will
receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Invitation
Memorandum EUR850 per EUR1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the
"Purchase Price") plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes
from (and including) the last interest payment date prior to the
Settlement Date to (but not including) the Settlement Date
("Accrued Interest").
The invitation to Noteholders to offer to sell Notes is not
conditional on the passing of the Extraordinary Resolution.
Meeting of Noteholders
In conjunction with the Invitation, a Meeting of Noteholders has
been convened to consider and, if thought fit, pass the
Extraordinary Resolution which, subject to certain conditions set
out therein, will allow Petrol to extend the maturity date of the
outstanding Notes which have not been purchased by Petrol pursuant
to the Invitation and to make the interest payment due on the 26
October 2011 on 26 January 2012, together with further accrued
interest to such date. The form of the notice of Noteholders'
meeting and the form of the Extraordinary Resolution are set out in
the Invitation Memorandum.
Participating in the Invitation
To tender Notes pursuant to the Invitation, a Noteholder should
deliver, or arrange to have delivered on its behalf, through the
relevant Clearing System and in accordance with the requirements of
such Clearing System, a valid Electronic Tender Instruction, which
shall include an automatic instruction to vote in favour of the
Extraordinary Resolution, to be received by the Tender and
Tabulation Agent prior to the Expiration Time.
Noteholders are advised to check with any broker, dealer, bank,
custodian, trust company or other nominee through which they hold
Notes whether such entity must receive instructions to participate
in the Invitation before the deadlines specified in the timeline
