The New Notes were issued in an international exchange offer for Genneia’s outstanding notes series XX due 2022 (the “Series XX Notes”) and privately issued notes due 2022 (the “Private Notes” and, together with the Series XX Notes, the “Existing Notes”). The transaction also involved a consent solicitation for certain proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of the Existing Notes. As of the settlement date, US$408,076,000 in aggregate principal amount of Series XX Notes (representing 81,62% of the aggregate principal amount of Series XX Notes outstanding) and US$53,285,999 in aggregate principal amount of Private Notes ( representing 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Private Notes outstanding), have been tendered in the exchange offer.

- The four main components of the ICMA’s (International Capital Market Association) Green Bond Principles 2018 (GBP).
- The Guidelines for the Issuance of Social, Green and Sustainable Negotiable Securities in Argentina, as set forth in the Rules of the National Securities Commission.
