consent to the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution in the form of a
written resolution as set out below.

delegates management of the Reference Portfolio to AnBro. AnBro
will be appointed directly as Reference Portfolio Advisor. The
Issuer also proposes consequential amendments to the way in which
the fees and costs associated with the creation, maintenance and
management of the Reference Portfolio (the Issuer Management Fee
will be amended from 0.60% per annum to 0.25% per annum), as well
as the investment parameters applicable to the Reference Portfolio
and certain other terms of the Notes. Given that AnBro already
performs the Reference Portfolio Advisor role on a delegated
basis, the proposed amendments are not expected to have a material
impact on Noteholders.

detailed below. These changes are administrative in nature and
