General Obligation Bondholders

of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico


TERMS OF
CREDITOR-LED GO RESTRUCTURING PROPOSAL
April 11, 2016

Subject to FRE 408 and all


local law equivalents

Executive Summary

GO Bondholders and Insurers Assist the Commonwealth - The attached Term Sheet represents an agreement amongst
investment managers and insurers holding or controlling nearly $6.5 Bn of GO bonds, issued or guaranteed by the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, to defer principal repayment in order to give the Commonwealth sufficient time to deal with
its current financial situation. In addition, as insured bonds come due, the insurers would agree to purchase an amount of
GO bonds with a five year maturity equal to the principal amount of the maturing bonds subject to conditions outlined herein.

Principal Deferment - Through a consensual exchange offer of new bonds (the GO Exchanged Bonds) for outstanding
uninsured GO bonds, GO bondholders agree that all principal payments for all GO bonds, regardless of maturity, will be
deferred by an average of 5 years. In addition, as insured bonds come due and subject to the conditions herein, the
insurers would agree to purchase an equal amount of GO bonds (the Insurer Refunding Bonds, and together with the GO
Exchanged Bonds, the New GO Bonds) with a five year maturity, effectively extending the maturity of such insured bonds.

Substantial Savings - This exchange would save the Commonwealth $1.9 Bn in debt service payments over the next 5
years.

New Loan - The transaction also offers [$750 MM] of liquidity upfront through a GO issuance at a reasonable interest rate.

Avoid GO Default - The combination of principal deferment plus [$750 MM] in new funds will help to avoid a July 1 default.

GO Preserved as Future Currency - The Commonwealth will need the GO debt as currency to finance itself in the future.
By avoiding a July 1 default, the Commonwealth will avoid damage to the GO debt that would otherwise impact the
Commonwealth's ability to issue GO debt in the future.
