The salient features of the Deed are as follows:

1. 1. Repayment of the TFC issue would be done in 9 years i.e. by September 2026. Consequently, Principal amount of Rs 1,517 million and Mark up of Rs. 647 million has been restructured.
2. 2. In 2018 only principal amount of Rs. 200 million would be redeemed. Upfront amount of Rs. 125 million and two installments of Rs. 25 million each has been paid at the time of signing of the Supplemental Trust Deed.
