General
THE TRUSTEE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE FORMULATION OF THE
EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION AND THE TRUSTEE EXPRESSES NO OPINION ON
THE MERITS OF THE EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION OR ON WHETHER
NOTEHOLDERS WOULD BE ACTING IN THEIR BEST INTERESTS IN APPROVING
THE EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION, AND NOTHING IN THIS NOTICE SHOULD BE
CONSTRUED AS A RECOMMATION TO NOTEHOLDERS FROM THE TRUSTEE TO VOTE
IN FAVOUR OF, OR AGAINST, THE EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION. NOTEHOLDERS
SHOULD TAKE INDEPENT FINANCIAL, TAX AND LEGAL ADVICE ON THE MERITS
AND ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF VOTING IN FAVOUR OF, OR AGAINST, THE
EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION, INCLUDING AS TO ANY LEGAL, FINANCIAL OR
TAX CONSEQUENCES, IMMEDIATELY FROM THEIR OWN BROKER, BANK MANAGER,
SOLICITOR, ACCOUNTANT, OR OTHER INDEPENT FINANCIAL, TAX OR LEGAL
ADVISER. THE TRUSTEE HAS NOT REVIEWED, NOR WILL IT BE REVIEWING,
ANY DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE PROPOSAL. ON THE BASIS OF THE
INFORMATION SET OUT IN THIS NOTICE AND THE MEMORANDUM (EACH OF
WHICH THE TRUSTEE RECOMMS TO NOTEHOLDERS TO READ CAREFULLY), THE
TRUSTEE HAS AUTHORISED IT TO BE STATED THAT THE TRUSTEE HAS NO
OBJECTION TO THE EXTRAORDINARY RESOLUTION BEING PUT TO NOTEHOLDERS
FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION.
The attention of Noteholders is particularly drawn to the quorum
required for the Meeting and for an Adjourned Meeting which is set
out in "Voting and Quorum" below. Having regard to such
requirements, Noteholders are strongly urged either to attend the
Meeting or to take steps to be represented at the Meeting, as
referred to below, as soon as possible.
NOTEHOLDERS SHOULD CONTACT THEIR BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL
BANK, CUSTODIAN, TRUST COMPANY OR ACCOUNTHOLDER, AS THE CASE MAY
BE, TO CONFIRM THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF THEIR VOTING
INSTRUCTIONS SO THAT SUCH VOTING INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE PROCESSED AND
DELIVERED TO THE TABULATION AGENT IN A TIMELY MANNER AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE RELEVANT DEADLINE. HOLDERS OF NOTES HELD
THROUGH EUROCLEAR OR CLEARSTREAM, LUXEMBOURG WHO WISH TO VOTE BY
WAY OF ELECTRONIC VOTING INSTRUCTIONS MUST PROVIDE THEIR ELECTRONIC
VOTING INSTRUCTIONS BY TRANSMITTING THEM OR PROCURING THEIR
TRANSMISSION TO THE RELEVANT CLEARING SYSTEM. HOLDERS OF NOTES HELD
THROUGH DTC WILL NEED TO ENSURE THEY HAVE PROCURED THAT THE
RELEVANT DTC PARTICIPANT HAS SUBMITTED ITS ORIGINAL FORM OF
SUB--PROXY TO THE TABULATION AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE VOTING
DEADLINE.
Direct Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg by
submission of Electronic Voting Instructions authorise such
Clearing System to disclose their identity to KMG, KMG Finance, ING
Bank N.V., London Branch ("ING"), J.P. Morgan Securities plc
("JPM") and MUFG Securities EMEA plc ("MUFG" and together with ING
and JPM, the "Solicitation Agents" and each a "Solicitation
Agent"), the Principal Paying Agent, the Tabulation Agent and the
Trustee.
Only Direct Participants may submit or deliver Voting
Instructions. Noteholders whose Notes are held on their behalf by a
broker, dealer, commercial bank, custodian, trust company or
accountholder, or other intermediary or nominee must contact and
request such broker, dealer, commercial bank, custodian, trust
company or accountholder, or other intermediary or nominee to
effect the relevant Voting Instructions on their behalf
sufficiently in advance of the Early Consent Deadline and in any
event not later than the Voting Deadline in order for such Voting
Instructions to be delivered in accordance with any deadlines as
described in the Memorandum.
If Voting Instructions are not received from or on behalf of a
Noteholder in accordance with the voting instructions set out
herein (and such Noteholder does not otherwise make arrangements to
vote at the Meeting or to attend in person by appointing a proxy
also in advance of the Voting Deadline), such Noteholder will be
deemed to have declined to vote in respect of the Extraordinary
Resolution.
None of KMG, KMG Finance, the Trustee, the Solicitation Agents,
the Principal Paying Agent or the Tabulation Agent expresses any
view as to the merits of the consents, amendments and modifications
referred to in the Extraordinary Resolution but the Trustee has
authorised it to be stated that it has no objection to the
consents, amendments and modifications referred to in the
Extraordinary Resolution being put to Noteholders for their
consideration. None of the Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent, the
Solicitation Agents or the Tabulation Agent has been involved in
negotiating the consents, amendments and modifications referred to
in the Extraordinary Resolution and none of them makes any
representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to
the Noteholders in or pursuant to the Memorandum and this Notice of
Meeting. Noteholders who are unsure of the impact of the consents,
amendments and modifications referred to in the Extraordinary
Resolution should seek their own financial, legal and tax
advice.
KMG and KMG Finance will bear legal, accounting and other
professional fees and expenses associated with the consents,
amendments and modifications referred to in the Extraordinary
Resolution, as more particularly agreed between KMG, KMG Finance
and the Solicitation Agents.
Voting and Quorum
1. The relevant provisions governing the convening and holding
of meetings of Noteholders are set out in Schedule 4 (Provisions
for Meetings of Noteholders) to the Trust Deed, copies of which are
available for inspection as described herein. See "Documents
Available for Inspection" above.
IMPORTANT: The Notes are currently held in the form of a
Regulation S Global Note or Rule 144A Global Note (together, the
"Global Notes"). The Regulation S Global Note is deposited with
Citibank Europe plc as common depositary for, and registered in the
name of Citivic Nominees Limited (the "Registered Holder") as
nominee for, Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream
Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). The Rule 144A Global Note
is deposited with Citibank, N.A. as custodian for, and registered
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of, The Depository Trust
Company ("DTC" and, together with Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg, the "Clearing Systems" and each a "Clearing System").
Each person (a "Beneficial Owner") who is the owner of a particular
principal amount of the Notes, as shown in the records of
Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or their respective account
holders or as shown in the records of DTC or DTC's participants
("Direct Participants"), should note that such person will not be a
Noteholder for the purposes of this Notice and will only be
entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting or appoint a proxy or
sub--proxy to do so in accordance with the procedures set out
below. Accordingly, Beneficial Owners should convey their Voting
Instructions, directly or through the Direct Participant through
whom they hold their interest in the Notes On this basis, the only
Noteholder for the purposes of the Notice of Meeting will be the
Registered Holder in the case of the Regulation S Global Notes and
Cede &Co. in the case of the Rule 144A Global Notes.
Only the Registered Holders (in respect of a Regulation S Global
Note) and Direct Participants in DTC (in respect of a Rule 144A
Global Note) who have been appointed proxies by DTC are entitled to
complete a Form of Proxy or sub--proxy, as the case may be. A Form
of Proxy or sub--proxy is not required to be completed by
Beneficial Owners (unless they are also Direct Participants in DTC)
or Direct Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg who
must instead vote or instruct electronically in accordance with the
procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg. The forms of
proxy and forms of sub--proxy as the case may be, will be made
available to the Registered Holders and to Direct Participants in
DTC.
2. Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg
(1) A Registered Holder may by an instrument in the English
language (a "Form of Proxy") in the form available from the
specified offices of the Registrar specified below signed by such
Registered Holder or, in the case of a corporation, executed under
its seal or signed on its behalf by its duly authorised officer and
delivered to the Registrar not less than 48 hours before the time
fixed for the Meeting, appoint any person (a "proxy") to act on his
or its behalf in connection with the Meeting.
(2) A proxy so appointed shall, so long as such appointment
remains in force, be deemed, for all purposes in connection with
the Meeting, to be the holder of the Notes to which such
appointment relates and the Registered Holder shall be deemed for
such purposes not to be the holder.
(3) Beneficial Owners or their Direct Participants who do not
wish to attend and vote at the Meeting (or any Adjourned Meeting)
should contact Euroclear or Clearstream (as applicable) to make
arrangements for the Noteholder to appoint the Tabulation Agent or
one or more of its employees (as it shall determine) as proxy to
cast the votes either for or against relating to the Notes in which
he has an interest at the Meeting.
(4) Alternatively, Beneficial Owners or their Direct
Participants who wish to attend and vote or who wish a different
person to be appointed as their proxy to attend and vote at the
Meeting should contact the relevant Clearing System to make
arrangements for such person to be appointed as a proxy (by the
Registered Holder) in respect of the Notes in which they have an
interest for the purposes of attending and voting at the
Meeting.
(5) In either case, Beneficial Owners or their Direct
Participants must have made arrangements to vote with the relevant
Clearing System by not later than 48 hours before the time fixed
for the Meeting and within the relevant time limit specified by the
relevant Clearing System (who may set a significantly earlier
deadline) and request or make arrangements for the relevant
Clearing System to block the Notes in the relevant Direct
Participant's account and to hold the same to the order or under
the control of the Registrar.
(6) A Direct Participant whose Notes have been blocked will thus
be able to procure that either (i) an electronic voting and
blocking instruction (an "Electronic Voting Instruction") is given
in accordance with the procedures of the relevant Clearing System
to instruct the relevant Clearing System that the vote(s)
attributable to the Notes the subject of such Electronic Voting
Instruction should be cast in a particular way (either in favour of
or against) in relation to the Extraordinary Resolution in respect
of such Notes, which instructions shall require the Registered
Holder to appoint proxies as described above or (ii) it, or a
person nominated by it, be appointed as a proxy in respect of such
Notes to attend and vote at the Meeting.
(7) Any Notes so held and blocked in Euroclear or Clearstream,
Luxembourg for either of these purposes will not be released to the
Direct Participant, until the earlier of (a) if the Direct
Participant is not entitled to an Early Consent Fee, the conclusion
of the Meeting (or Adjourned Meeting if the Meeting is adjourned),
(b) if the Direct Participant is entitled to an Early Consent Fee,
the earlier of (i) the payment of the Early Consent Fee or (ii) the
day which is five business days following the passing of the
Extraordinary Resolutions, as the case may be, and (c) upon such
Notes ceasing in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or
Clearstream, as applicable, to be held to its order or under its
control, provided, however, in the case of (c) above, that if the
Beneficial Owner or Direct Participant has caused a proxy to be
appointed in respect of such Notes, such Notes will not be released
to the relevant Direct Participant unless and until the Issuer has
received notice of the necessary of or amendment to such proxy.
(8) Any Voting Instructions submitted may not be revoked during
the period starting 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting
and ending at the conclusion of such Meeting and otherwise as
provided for in the Memorandum.
(9) The holder of a Form of Proxy attending the Meeting in
person must bring with him evidence of his identity (in the form of
a passport or driving licence) and provide his contact details.
3. Notes held through DTC
(1) The procedures under this paragraph assume that in
accordance with its usual procedures, DTC will appoint the Direct
Participants in DTC on 12 March 2019 (the "Record Date") as its
proxies under an omnibus proxy (the "Omnibus Proxy") in respect of
the principal amount of each of the Notes and shown on its records
as being held by them on the Record Date (in each case, their
"Recorded Principal Amount").
Direct Participants
(2) Direct Participants may, in respect of their Recorded
Principal Amount, either (i) attend and vote at the Meeting if they
are individuals or (ii) appoint any employee of the Tabulation
Agent (nominated by the Tabulation Agent) as their sub--proxy to
attend and cast their votes at the Meeting in a particular way on
their behalf or (iii) appoint any other person (including
Beneficial Owners of the Notes) as sub--proxies and each, together
with the sub--proxy referred to in sub--paragraph (ii), a
"Sub--Proxy", to attend and vote at the Meeting on their behalf, in
the case of (ii) and (iii) by an instrument in writing in the form
available from the specified office of the Registrar (which form is
also contained in Appendix II of the Memorandum), and signed by
such Direct Participant or, in the case of a corporation, executed
under its common seal or signed on its behalf by an attorney or
duly authorised officer of the corporation which should be
medallion guaranteed as described in the form of sub--proxy and the
Memorandum and then delivered to the Tabulation Agent at the
address set out in the Memorandum, not later than 48 hours before
the time fixed for the Meeting.
Beneficial Owners
(3) A Beneficial Owner who is not a Direct Participant and who
does not wish to attend the Meeting may arrange for the votes
relating to the Notes of which he is a Beneficial Owner and which
are currently represented by a Rule l44A Global Note to be cast at
the Meeting by requesting the Direct Participant through whom he
holds his Notes to issue a form of sub--proxy, as described in
paragraph (2) above, to a third person to attend and vote at the
Meeting in accordance with the Beneficial Owner's instructions,
provided that the Notes in respect of which the form of sub--proxy
is to be given are Notes in respect of which the Direct Participant
was appointed as a proxy under the Omnibus Proxy on the Record
Date. Such person must produce the form of sub--proxy to the
Meeting.
(4) A Beneficial Owner who is (a) not a Direct Participant and
who wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting in person or (b) the
representative of a Direct Participant who is not an individual but
who wishes its representative to attend and vote at the Meeting in
person must produce a form to the Meeting of sub--proxy issued by
the Direct Participant through whom he holds Notes appointing him
as a Sub--Proxy, provided that the Notes in respect of which the
sub--proxy is to be given are Notes in respect of which the Direct
Participant was appointed as a proxy under the Omnibus Proxy on the
Record Date.
(5) Beneficial Owners should contact the Direct Participant
through whom they hold their Notes in sufficient time to enable
votes to be cast on their behalf and Sub--Proxies to be
appointed.
Direct Participants or Beneficial Owners should direct any
questions regarding appointing proxies or the voting procedures to
the Tabulation Agent.
Forms of sub--proxy
(6) Sub--proxies may be appointed using the form of sub--proxy
available from the Registrar at its offices specified below. Duly
completed forms of sub--proxy must be delivered to and received by
the Tabulation Agent at least 48 hours before the time fixed for
the Meeting and may not be revoked thereafter.
(7) The Registrar has agreed that employees of the Tabulation
Agent (to be identified by them) may be appointed as Sub--Proxies
for the purposes of attending and voting at the Meeting.
(8) In respect of the Notes currently represented by the Rule
144A Global Note, only those Direct Participants shown in DTC's
records on the Record Date as holding the Recorded Principal Amount
will be entitled to vote on the Extraordinary Resolution or appoint
Sub-Proxies to do so and shall remain so entitled notwithstanding
any transfer of such holders of Notes after the Record Date,
provided that votes submitted by any one Direct Participant and any
Sub--Proxies appointed by it shall not exceed the holding of such
Direct Participant as evidenced by the Omnibus Proxy issued as of
such Record Date. In the event that such votes do exceed the
holding of such Direct Participant (alone or when aggregated with
any Sub--Proxy previously issued by the Direct Participant and not
validly withdrawn), any Sub-Proxy appointed by it which exceeds
such holding shall be invalid and any Early Consent Fee which may
otherwise have been payable will not be paid. Transferees of the
Notes after the Record Date will not be entitled to vote on the
Extraordinary Resolution. Only a Beneficial Owner who procures that
its Direct Participant appoints the Tabulation Agent (or one of
more of its employees nominated by it) as Sub--Proxy will be
entitled to an Early Consent Fee.
4. Quorum requirements
The quorum required at each Meeting shall be one or more Voters
(as defined in Schedule 4 (Provisions for Meetings of Noteholders)
of the Trust Deed) representing or holding not less than 75 per
cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding

quorum is not present, the Meeting (unless the Issuer and the
Trustee otherwise agree) shall be adjourned for such period, being
not less than 14 days nor more than 42 days, and to such place as
the chairman determines. If a quorum is not present within 15
minutes from the time fixed for a meeting so adjourned, the meeting
shall be dissolved. Notice of any Adjourned Meeting shall be given
in the same manner as notice of the original Meeting, save that ten
days' notice, shall be sufficient and such notice shall contain the
quorum requirements which will apply when the Meeting resumes.
5. At any Adjourned Meeting, the quorum shall be one or more
Voters (as defined in Schedule 4 (Provisions for Meetings of
Noteholders) of the Trust Deed) representing or holding not less
than 25 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Notes.

Resolution must be passed at the Meeting duly convened and held in
accordance with the provisions of Schedule 4 (Provisions for
Meetings of Noteholders) of the Trust Deed by a majority of not
less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast.
7. Pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 4 (Provisions for
Meetings of Noteholders) of the Trust Deed, each question submitted

hands) demanded by the chairman, the Issuer, the Trustee or one or
more persons representing two per cent. of the principal amount
outstanding of the Notes.
8. Unless a poll is validly demanded before or at the time that
the result is declared, the chairman's declaration that on a show
of hands the Extraordinary Resolution has or has not been passed
shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, without proof of the
number or proportion of votes cast for, or against, the
Extraordinary Resolution.

either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs,
provided that a poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a
question of adjournment shall be taken at once.

poll every such person shall have one vote in respect of each full
U.S.$1,000 in aggregate nominal amount of the outstanding Notes
represented or held by him. Without prejudice to the obligations of
the proxies, a person entitled to more than one vote need not use
them all or cast them all in the same way.
11. If the Extraordinary Resolution is duly passed at the
Meeting duly convened and held in accordance with the Trust Deed,
the Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all the
Noteholders, whether or not present at the Meeting.
12. This notice and any non--contractual obligations arising out
of or in connection with it shall be governed by, and shall be
construed in accordance with, English law.
