Lender acknowledges that this Schedule 4 to the Securities Lending Agreement dated April 11, 2016 is effective as of the date specified below and that the relevant Addenda within this Schedule shall apply.
| Each Lender severally and not jointly: | ||
| 1290 FUNDS
on behalf of each of their series listed on Xxxxx X | ||
| By: |
| |
| Name: Xxxxx Xxxxx | ||
| Title: Chief Financial Officer | ||
| Date: March 16, 2023 | ||
Market Terms Schedule
| I. | Australia |
Xxxxxx acknowledges and accepts that:
| a) | with regards to any Institutional Share Offering (“ISO”) offered by an Australian issuer to Lender, Xxxxxx shall be solely responsible for informing X.X. Xxxxxx that Lender has (a) been invited to participate in such ISO and (b) intends to, or otherwise, exercise any rights in relation to Securities on Loan; |
| b) | due to the nature of an ISO, X.X. Xxxxxx will be unaware of such ISO arising and will therefore rely solely on Lender’s notification provided in (a) above; |
| c) | subject to Clause 4 hereof (Instructions), Xxxxxx must provide election Instructions to X.X. Xxxxxx: |
| i. | prior to market expiry where the timing of the ISO announcement makes it reasonably practicable to permit election Instructions to be given prior to such market expiry; and |
| ii. | in all other cases, prior to the applicable Cut-Off Time. |
Such election Instructions must specify whether Xxxxxx wishes to (i) take up the ISO; (ii) lapse the ISO; or (iii) lapse and take up any available cashbook build. Upon receipt, X.X. Xxxxxx shall use reasonable endeavours to forward such election Instructions to Borrower;
| d) | X.X. Xxxxxx shall not be liable to Lender in the event that: |
| iii. | Xxxxxx does not provide to X.X. Xxxxxx any election Instructions; or |
| iv. | Xxxxxx fails to provide X.X. Xxxxxx with timely election Instructions with respect to such an ISO, and X.X. Xxxxxx in its sole discretion does not take any action in relation to such election Instructions; or |
| v. | election Instructions were received by Borrower after market expiry of the ISO and Xxxxxxxx is unable to accept such election Instructions. |
| II. | France |
Xxxxxx acknowledges and accepts that when lending Securities issued by French issuers (“French Securities”), any additional tax credits (including, but not limited to, Credit d’Impot) that may be due to the holder of such French Securities had they not been on Loan over record date, will not form part of the manufactured Income (as defined in the applicable MSLA) that is collected from a Borrower on behalf of the Lender.
| III. | Greece, Hungary, Japan, Mexico, Singapore |
To the extent that Xxxxxx has approved in this Schedule that the following jurisdictions are eligible markets, Lender represents and warrants that it does not have a “permanent establishment” in:
| a) | Greece |
| b) | Hungary |
| c) | Japan |
| d) | Mexico |
| e) | Singapore |
| IV. | Poland |
Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the following restrictions shall apply in respect of equity securities issued by Polish companies (“Polish Securities”):
| a) | the Journal of laws of Poland 2015, No.1272, which became effective in October 2015 (the “Act”) introduced pre-approval requirements from the Polish Government prior to any acquisition of significant shareholdings in certain Protected Companies (as defined by the Act and subject to change from time to time). In order to manage the transaction pre-approval requirements for the Lender, X.X. Xxxxxx will be limiting the securities lending program to actively lend only those Polish Securities where the Lender’s aggregate holding is less than 5%; |
| b) | as the list of Protected Companies impacted by the Act is subject to on-going change, this arrangement will be applied to all Polish Securities held through X.X. Xxxxxx that have been made eligible for lending in the program by the Lender. As Xxxxxx’s Lending Agent, X.X. Xxxxxx are unable to determine the Lender’s total aggregate size of holding in such Polish Securities, therefore Lender will be responsible for notifying X.X. Xxxxxx where Lender is either holding, or proposing to acquire a total holding of 5% or greater of voting capital in Polish Securities. Lenders are required to provide such notification to X.X. Xxxxxx no later than trade date of the acquisition transaction resulting in a 5% or above holding; and |
| c) | a failure to comply with the notification requirement could result in securities lending transactions being undertaken by X.X. Xxxxxx without Lender seeking the requisite pre-approval potentially resulting in penalties being levied against the Lender by the Polish Government for which the Lender is solely responsible. |
