ORB International Enhanced Income (Yields2)

A de-leverage event has occurred per the PDS. As result no further distributions will be made for the remainder of the term and there is no exposure to the income plus trading strategy. Investors will receive at maturity the initial capital protected investment amount. Alternatively Investors who wish to sell their holdings can on the open market. If Investors elect to do this it should be through their Stockbroker and a Client Warrant Agreement will need to be in place prior to execution.
