June 2017 IPD Allocations
We also refer to the notice of the Issuer dated 8 June 2017 in which the Issuer informed Noteholders that Midland Heart Limited and The Riverside Group Limited prepaid their respective loans and that, pursuant to the Supplemental Trust Deed, the amounts of the prepayments were, as is required, applied to partially redeem the Notes and pay Noteholders on the Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Trust Deed) falling on 7 June 2017 (the "June 2017 IPD").
In partial redemption of the Notes on the June 2017 IPD, an amount of £22,471,525.57 was applied to principal and an amount of £12,504,892.75 was applied to interest and make-whole amounts. However, the Issuer has subsequently been made aware that whilst the overall amount of the payments made to Noteholders was correct, the allocation between principal and interest and make-whole amounts paid on the June 2017 IPD was not. The amount that should have been allocated to principal on the June 2017 IPD is £22,135,851.41 and the amount that should have been allocated to interest and make-whole amounts on the June 2017 IPD is £12,840,566.91 (the "Misallocation").
The Issuer has been informed that on the June 2017 IPD the Misallocation resulted in an overpayment of principal to Noteholders of £335,674.16 and an underpayment of interest and make-whole amounts to Noteholders of £335,674.16.
The Adjusted Amortisation Figures reflect a position in which the Misallocation has been corrected. The Issuer has made payments on the December 2017 IPD in connection with the December 2017 Redemption to reflect the Adjusted Amortisation Figures in order to correct such overpayment of principal and underpayment of interest and make-whole amounts.
