Why Georgia High Yield? Georgia, a top reformer in the world in 2006-2011 according to the World Bank, has experienced a long period of high economic growth rates in 2004-2012 and has evolved into an attractive lowtax jurisdiction with full currency convertibility and attractive business climate (currently ranked by the World Bank as No. 8 in the Ease of Doing Business global rankings and No. 22 in the WSJHeritage Foundation Economic Freedom Index). Georgias economic openness, attractive location, and liberal visa and trade regime have contributed to Georgias ongoing transformation into a regional tourism, trade and financial hub. Due to the growing receipts from tourism and remittances, export growth and stable FDI, portfolio and donor inflows, Georgia has been comfortably financing its current account deficit in the past decade. Its currency, the Lari (GEL), has depreciated by less than 10% against the US$ since the beginning of 2009, and inflation is currently at 3.5%, down from the historical high single-digits level. The Georgian banking sector is among the most stable, dynamic and innovative in the FSU/SEE and has grown by over 1,000% since 2003; nonetheless, the banking penetration rate remains low, with bank credit to GDP at 33% and bank credit to individuals to GDP at 14% at YE 2012. The historically high interest rates on bank loans and deposits have decreased considerably in the past 12 months, with 12-month bank term deposits in US$ currently yielding no more than 5%6% (compared with 8%-10% attainable in 2002-2012). The current outstanding stock of private banking deposits in Georgia is estimated at US$500 mln, with at least half of this amount contributed by non-resident clients. As these term deposits expire, it will be impossible to reinvest the funds in bank term deposits at anywhere near the yield levels of 2010-2012. The Georgian non-bank lending sector has experienced robust growth in the past five years, with the aggregate loan book of non-bank lenders exceeding US$400 mln in 2013 (up from less than US$30 mln in 2006). The non-bank lending sector comprises over 70 microfinance companies licensed by the National Bank of Georgia, and up to 20 other traditional and newly-established online lenders that do not require a regulatory license. Given their lending rates that typically exceed 30% p.a. for secured loans and 60% for unsecured loans, these lenders attract funds at the rates reaching, and sometimes exceeding, 10% p.a. Why Liberty Finance? Founded and managed by individuals at the forefront of the financial services sector development in Georgia for over 10 years Rigorous bottom-up driven investment screening process to identify the best reward-risk opportunities based on the investment teams superior understanding of the banking and nonbank lending markets in Georgia Investment discipline and risk controls ensuring the diversification insofar as possible within the set boundaries of the investment strategy Access to attractive opportunities, such as, for instance, certificates of deposit issued by Liberty Bank, promissory notes and loans yielding over 10% in selected leading non-bank lenders, and access to the managed P2P lending platform (eLoan.ge) owned and operated by eCapital, a Liberty Securities affiliate

Investment Strategy/Permissible Investments may be changed (as to the maximum permissible limits of any instruments/securities classes, as well as with regard to the geography) by the AGM; such changes may not occur more frequently than once a year.

Fees & Expenses


Investors in the PNs pay no fees of any kind. Annual expenses of LF will be capped at the greater of GEL 3,600 and 0.1% of the aggregate principal amount of the PNs outstanding as at the year-end. The shareholders of LF expect to subsidise the annual expenses in 2013-2014 or until such time when the aggregate principal amount of the PNs outstanding exceeds GEL 3.6 mln equivalent.

Taxation
Interest received by the holders of the PNs is subject to a 5% tax withheld at the source. However, as the payment of variable income in addition to the fixed annual interest rate of the PNs is unprecedented in Georgia, the Participating Interest payable to the PN holders may be taxable, through withholding at the source, as follows:
Resident individuals Resident legal entities 20% 15% Non-resident individuals Non-resident legal entities 10% 10%

GEORGIA LIBERTY FINANCE HIGH YIELD

Liberty Securities will withhold the relevant tax amounts at the source. Accordingly, there is no need for the PN holder to make any tax filings in Georgia. As a joint stock company registered in Georgia, LF is subject to a 15% corporate profit tax.

The Calculation Of The Participating Interest


The distributable net income shall be equal to the interest income accrued or received from the underlying investments, less the sum of (i) Base Interest expense, (ii) any provisions for the impairment of the underlying assets, (iii) accrued annual expenses set at the estimated annual cap, and (iv) accrued corporate profit tax of LF. 20% of the distributable net income so calculated shall be accrued on a monthly basis for the benefit of the PN holders.

Statements and Disclosures


The PNs are transferable to any third party by their holders, subject to the registration of the transfer by Liberty Securities. The PNs are not regulated by the Law of Georgia on Securities, and, therefore, may not be listed or admitted to trading on the Georgian Stock Exchange or any other organised exchange. There may be no assurance that the over-the-counter secondary market in the PNs will develop. The Georgian Lari is freely convertible and there are no restrictions whatsoever on the transfer abroad of either the interest income received by the PN holder or the principal amount of the PN once it is repaid by the issuer. LF does not intend to be audited by a Big Four accounting firm, but intends to publish audited annual results. Additionally, LF has committed to issuing to all the PN holders its summary quarterly unaudited financial results and the portfolio disclosure/analysis. Holders of the PNs with the principal amount exceeding US$100,000 (or its GEL equivalent) may inspect the books and records of LF at any time at their own cost and upon reasonable notice. Liberty Securities intends to update and publish this document monthly or more frequently if deemed necessary.
