may also redeem all, but not less than all, of the Senior Secured Fixed Rate PIK Toggle Notes in the event of certain

Pending the consummation of the Acquisition, an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the Offering of each series of
Notes will be deposited into a segregated escrow account in the name of the Issuer but controlled by the Escrow Agent (as
defined herein), and pledged on a first-ranking basis in favor of the Trustee (as defined herein) on behalf of the holders of
the Notes. The release of escrow proceeds upon consummation of the Acquisition (the date of such release, the
"Completion Date") will be subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the closing of the Acquisition. The
consummation of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory approval by the European
Commission, the Bank of Italy, the European Central Bank and De Nederlandsche Bank. If the Acquisition is not
consummated prior to March 31, 2016 (the "Escrow Longstop Date"), or upon the occurrence of certain other events, the
Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption. The special mandatory redemption price will be equal to the
aggregate issue price of the relevant series of Notes so redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts,
if any, from the Issue Date (as defined below) of the Notes to the special mandatory redemption date. See "Description of
the Notes--Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption."
The Notes will be senior obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu in right of payment to all of the Issuer's existing
and future senior indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer
that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will be guaranteed (the "Guarantees") on the Issue Date on
a several, but not joint, basis by Mercury A Capital Limited, Mercury B Capital Limited and Mercury ABC Capital
Limited (collectively, the "Sponsors' HoldCos" or the "Guarantors") through their respective guarantee agreements (the
"Guarantee Agreements") which will also guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and certain hedging
obligations on a senior secured basis (each term as defined herein). The Notes and the Guarantees will be secured as of the
Issue Date on a first-priority basis by (i) (until the Completion Date) the Escrow Charge, (ii) pledges of the shares of the
Issuer, HoldCo and the Sponsors' HoldCos, (iii) pledges of the bank accounts of the Issuer and each Sponsors' HoldCo and
(iv) pledges over the Proceeds Loans (each term as defined herein) (collectively, the "Collateral"). No additional security
will be granted on the Completion Date. The Collateral will also secure the Revolving Credit Facility Agreement and
certain hedging obligations on a senior basis. Under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined herein) to be
entered into in connection with this Offering, in the event of an enforcement of the Collateral, the holders of the Notes will
receive proceeds from such Collateral only after the lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) and
counterparties to certain hedging agreements have been repaid in full. In addition, the Guarantees and the security interests
in the Collateral may be released under certain circumstances. Subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Collateral may be pledged to secure future indebtedness. The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally
subordinated to any existing or future indebtedness of HoldCo or any subsidiaries of HoldCo, in each case that are not
Guarantors, including obligations owed to trade creditors and depositors.
The Issuer will not be required to procure the Target Group's compliance with the covenants under the Indenture. Instead,
breaches of the terms of the Indenture resulting from certain actions of, among others, the Target Group, will result in a
default under the Indenture applicable to the Issuer. Further, the Indenture will provide that the occurrence of certain events
with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries that would otherwise constitute an event of default will not constitute an event
of default if and to the extent that doing so would materially and substantially negatively affect the sound and prudent
management of the Target and its subsidiaries or the ability of the Target and its subsidiaries to conduct their core
businesses in the ordinary course. See "Description of Notes--Specified Defaults."
This Offering Memorandum includes more detailed information on the terms of the Notes and the Guarantees, including
redemption and repurchase prices, security, covenants, events of default and transfer restrictions.
There is currently no public market for the Notes. Application has been made to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and to admit the Notes for trading on the Euro MTF thereof. There is no assurance, however, that this application
will be accepted.
This offering memorandum constitutes a prospectus for purposes of Luxembourg law on prospectus securities
dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
The maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding of each series of Notes, as indicated on the cover page above,
consists of (i) the aggregate principal amount outstanding of each such series as of its issue date and (ii) the maximum
amount of PIK interest paid until the maturity date. In the case of the Senior Secured Fixed Rate PIK Toggle Notes, PIK
interest is calculated at 9.00%. In the case of the Senior Secured Floating Rate PIK Toggle Notes, PIK interest is calculated
at six-month EURIBOR, which we have calculated on the basis of the applicable EURIBOR forward interest rate plus a


constant premium of 50 basis points plus 8.75%. This calculation involves assumptions concerning the EURIBOR which
should not be interpreted as a representation as to the future development of the EURIBOR. See "Forward-looking
Statements."
Investing in the Notes involves a high degree of risk. See the "Risk Factors" section of this Offering Memorandum,
beginning on page 48.
Price for the Senior Secured Fixed Rate PIK Toggle Notes: 100.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from
the Issue Date.
Price for the Senior Secured Floating Rate PIK Toggle Notes: 99.00% plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
from the Issue Date.
Delivery of the Notes will be made in book-entry form through a common depositary of Euroclear Bank SA/NV
("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream") on or about November 13, 2015 (the "Issue
Date").
The Notes will be in registered form in minimum denominations of 100,000 and integral multiples of 1 above 100,000.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold within the United
States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. In the United States, this Offering is being made only to "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined
in Rule 144A of the Securities Act) in compliance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") that are
also "Qualified Purchasers" (as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Investment Company Act")). You are hereby notified that the Initial Purchasers of the Notes may be
relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. Outside of
the United States, this Offering is being made to non-U.S. persons in connection with offshore transactions in
reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. For further details about eligible offerees and resale restrictions,
see "Plan of Distribution" and "Notice to Investors."
The Issuer is a "covered fund" as defined in Section 13 of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the
"Volcker Rule"). The Notes may constitute an "ownership interest" within the meaning of the Volcker Rule. See
"Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Notes and the Guarantees--The Volcker Rule may negatively affect the ability of
certain types of entities to purchase the Notes" and "Notice to Investors."

NOTICE TO CERTAIN EUROPEAN INVESTORS
European Economic Area
This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of the Notes will be made pursuant to an
exemption under the Prospectus Directive (as defined below), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of
the Notes. In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area ("EEA") which has implemented the


Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State"), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus

provided that no such offer of Notes shall require us or any Initial Purchasers to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3
of the Prospectus Directive. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the Notes
should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or the Initial Purchasers to produce a prospectus for
such offer. Neither we nor the Initial Purchasers have authorized, nor do authorize, the making of any offer of Notes
through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the Initial Purchasers, which constitute the final placement of
the Notes contemplated in this Offering Memorandum.
For the purposes of this section, the expression an "offer of Notes to the public" in relation to any Notes in any Relevant
Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer
and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be
varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State. The expression
"Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any
relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State.
