16 Standalone vs. MTN Programme Planned frequency of issue key factor in determining appropriate structure Standalone issue Standalone bond is a lower cost documentation route for a single bond issue Reduced documentation prospectus must satisfy: Prospectus Rules (Annex IV, V, XII) FSMA and ESMA Guidance on retail offers Less disclosure vs. equity issue (e.g. no working capital review) Requires UKLA approval Any additional offers must submit an entirely new document to the regulator MTN Programme Prospectus requires same information disclosure and approval process as for standalone Additional documents include Programme Agreement and Programme Notes Requires annual update if further issues planned As many of the arrangements (such as regulatory, agents, trustees, lawyers, listing) are maintained on a continuing basis, the documentation process for additional issues is simplified Standardisation of the contractual provisions relating to each issue of debt securities, reduces legal risk Expensive to set up due to additional disclosure but cost efficient for repeat borrowers 4
