English to German: Terms and Conditions of Registered Covered Bond - Bedingungen für Namenspfandbrief General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English INTEREST
a. The Bond shall bear interest from 07 April 2008 (the "Interest Commencement Date")
(inclusive) at a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.14 per cent, of the Nominal Amount. Interest Shall be payable on 07 April of each year (each an Interest Payment Date" and together the "Interest Payment Dates"), commencing on 07 April 2009, with the last payment due on the Maturity Date (as defined in Condition 5(a)). The period commencing on and including the Interest Commencement Date to but excluding the first Interest Payment Date and thereafter from and including each Interest Payment Date to but excluding the next following interest Payment Date shall each be referred to as an "Interest Period". If any Interest Payment Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the Interest Payment Date shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day, provided however that the calculations referred to the last Interest Period will not be adjusted according to any applicable Business Day Convention.
Interest shall be calculated on an actual/actual basis (according to ICMA Rule 251). "Business Day" shall mean a day (Other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which all relevant parts of the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross-Settlement Express Transfer System (TARGET) are operational to effect the relevant payment.
b. Interest on the Bond shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent by applying the rate of
interest applicable for the respective Interest Period to the Nominal Amount Of the Bond,
multiplying the resulting amount by the actual number of days in the respective Interest
Period divided by 365 or 366 days.
c. The Bond shall cease to bear interest from the end of the day preceding the due date for redemption. If the Issuer fails to redeem the Bond when due, interest shall continue to accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Bond beyond the due date until actual
redemption of the Bond. The applicable rate of interest shall be determined in
accordance with this Condition.
d. The Issuer shall procure that there shall at all time be one Calculation Agent for so long as the Bond is outstanding.
Translation - German VERZINSUNG
a. Die Schuldverschreibung wird vom 07.04.2008 (im Folgenden “Verzinsungsbeginn“, diesen Tag eingeschlossen) an zu einem Festzinssatz von 5,14 % p.a. des Nennbetrags verzinst.
Die Zinsen sind am 07.04. eines jeden Jahres fällig (je ein „Zinsfälligkeitsdatum“ und zusammen „Zinsfälligkeitstermine“), beginnend am 07.04.2009, wobei die letzte Zahlung am (End-) Fälligkeitstermin fällig ist (wie definiert in Bedingung 5(a)). Der Zeitraum ab dem Verzinsungsbeginn (diesen Tag eingeschlossen) bis zum ersten Zinsfälligkeitsdatum (diesen Tag nicht eingeschlossen) und danach ab jedem Zinsfälligkeitsdatum (diesen Tag eingeschlossen) bis zum nächstfolgenden Zinsfälligkeitsdatum (diesen Tag nicht eingeschlossen) wird jeweils als „Zinsperiode“ bezeichnet. Fällt ein Zinsfälligkeitsdatum auf einen Tag, der kein Geschäftstag ist, so ist Zinsfälligkeitsdatum der unmittelbar folgende Geschäftstag, jedoch vorausgesetzt, dass die auf die letzte Zinsperiode bezogenen Berechnungen nicht gemäß einer maßgeblichen Geschäftstagkonvention angepasst werden.
Die Zinsen sind anhand der Actual/Actual-Zinsberechnungsmethode zu berechnen (gemäß ICMA-Rule 251). „Geschäftstag“ bezeichnet einen Tag (weder Samstag noch Sonntag), an dem sämtliche relevanten Komponenten des TARGET-Systems (Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System, europaweites Echtzeit-Bruttozahlungsverkehrssystem) in Betrieb sind, um die betreffende Zahlung abzuwickeln.
b. Die Schuldverschreibungszinsen werden von der Berechnungsstelle ermittelt, indem der für die jeweilige Zinsperiode maßgebliche Zinssatz auf den Nennbetrag der Schuldverschreibung angewendet wird, und das Ergebnis mit der tatsächlichen Anzahl der Tage in der jeweiligen Zinsperiode geteilt durch 365 oder 366 Tage multipliziert wird.
c. Auf die Schuldverschreibung fallen keine Zinsen mehr an ab dem Ende des Tages, der dem Fälligkeitsdatum zur Rückzahlung vorausgeht. Zahlt der Emittent die Schuldverschreibung bei Fälligkeit nicht zurück, fallen auf den ausstehenden Kapitalbetrag der Schuldverschreibung über den Fälligkeitstermin hinaus weiterhin Zinsen bis zum Tag der tatsächlichen Rückzahlung der Schuldverschreibung an. Der maßgebliche Zinssatz ist gemäß dieser Bestimmung zu ermitteln.
d. Der Emittent hat dafür Sorge zu tragen, dass es zu jeder Zeit eine Berechnungsstelle gibt, solange wie sich die Schuldverschreibung in Umlauf befindet.
