Arrow Global Finance plc (the Issuer), a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales, is hereby offering (the Offering) e230,000,000 Senior Secured
Floating Rate Notes due 2023 (the Notes).
The Issuer is a finance subsidiary of Arrow Global Guernsey Holdings Limited (AGGHL), which in turn is a subsidiary of Arrow Global Group PLC (AGG). The net proceeds
of the Offering will be used to pay the purchase price for the InVesting Acquisition, to repay a portion of the amounts drawn under the Arrow Global Revolving Credit
Facility and for general corporate purposes, which may include loan portfolio acquisitions or partial redemption or repurchases of existing indebtedness.
Interest will be paid on the Notes quarterly in arrear on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2016. The Notes will bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the three month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR) plus 4.75% per year, reset quarterly, provided that Euribor shall never be
less than 0%. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2023.
The Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes on or after May 1, 2019 at the redemption prices set out in this Listing Particulars (this Offering Memorandum). Prior to
May 1, 2019, the Issuer may redeem, at its option, some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, plus the applicable ``make-whole'' premium, as described in this Offering Memorandum. Prior to May 1, 2019, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes using the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a price equal to 104.750% of the principal amount thereof, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, if at least 60% of the originally issued aggregate principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding. Additionally, the Issuer may
redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes in the event of certain developments affecting taxation. Upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a Change of
Control, as defined herein, the Issuer may be required to make an offer to repurchase all the Notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof,
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The Notes will be the general obligations of the Issuer 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, will be pari passu in right of payment among themselves and with all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer that is not subordinated in
right of payment to the Notes, will be effectively senior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer and its subsidiaries that is unsecured or secured by liens junior
to the liens securing the Notes, will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer and its subsidiaries that is secured by liens senior to
the liens securing the Notes, or secured by property and assets that do not secure the Notes, to the extent of the value of the property and assets securing such
indebtedness, and will be effectively subordinated to all obligations of the subsidiaries of the Issuer that do not guarantee the Notes.
From the Issue Date, the Notes will be guaranteed (the Original Guarantees) on a senior basis by AGGHL, its subsidiary Arrow Global Investments Holdings Limited
(AGIHL) (together, the Parent Guarantors) and certain other subsidiaries of AGGHL (the Subsidiary Guarantors and, together with AGIHL and AGGHL, the Original
Guarantors). The Notes will not be guaranteed by AGG. No later than 30 days after the completion of the InVesting Acquisition, the Notes are also required to be
guaranteed (the Additional Guarantees and, together with the Original Guarantees, the Guarantees) on a senior basis by the Additional Guarantors (as defined herein
and, together with the Original Guarantors, the Guarantors).
From the Issue Date, the Notes will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the Original Guarantors (the Original Collateral), including first-priority
security interests in the share capital of the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as described in ``Description of the Notes--Security.'' Subject to certain Agreed
Security Principles set out in the Arrow Global Revolving Credit Facility, no later than 30 days after the completion of the InVesting Acquisition, the Notes are required to be
further secured by first-priority security interests in the share capital of the Additional Guarantors, and certain other property and assets of the Additional Guarantors (the
Additional Collateral and, together with the Original Collateral, the Collateral). The Original Collateral also secures, and the Additional Collateral will also secure, our
obligations under the Issuer's £220,000,000 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the 2020 Notes), the Issuer's e335,000,000 Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes
due 2021 (the 2021 Notes) and the Arrow Global Revolving Credit Facility, and may also secure additional debt in the future. Pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, any liabilities in respect of obligations under the Arrow Global Revolving Credit Facility and certain hedging obligations that are secured by assets that also
secure our obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees will receive priority with respect to any proceeds received upon any enforcement action over any such assets.
The Collateral may be released in circumstances described in ``Description of the Notes--Security.'' In the event of enforcement of the Collateral, the holders of the Notes
will receive proceeds from the Collateral only after the lenders under the Arrow Global Revolving Credit Facility and counterparties to certain hedging obligations have
been repaid in full. See ``Description of the Notes--Security.''

NOTICE TO CERTAIN EUROPEAN INVESTORS
European Economic Area
This Offering Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Notes will be made
pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as amended, as implemented in Member
States of the European Economic Area (EEA), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of
the Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of the Notes
that are subject of the Offering contemplated in this Offering Memorandum must only do so in
iv

circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or the Initial Purchasers
to produce a prospectus for such offer. Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor nor the Initial Purchasers
have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of the 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. The expression Prospectus Directive means
Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the
extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in
the Relevant Member State. The expression 2010 PD Amending Directive means Directive 2010/73/EU.
In relation to each Member State of the EEA that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
Relevant Member State), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is
implemented in that Relevant Member State (the Relevant Implementation Date), no offer has been
made and no offer will be made of the Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the
publication of a prospectus in relation to the Notes that has been approved by the competent authority in
that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and
notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus
Directive, except that, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, an offer of the
Notes may be made to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:
(i)
to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(ii) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than ``qualified investors'' as defined in the
Prospectus Directive), as permitted under the Prospectus Directive, subject to obtaining the prior
consent of the relevant dealer or dealers nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or
(iii) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of Notes shall result in a requirement for the publication by the Issuer, any
Guarantor or the Initial Purchasers of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, 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 for the Notes, as such expression may be varied in the Relevant
Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State.
Each subscriber for or purchaser of the Notes in the Offering located within a Relevant Member State will
be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a ``qualified investor'' within the
meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. The Issuer, any Guarantor, the Initial Purchasers
and their respective affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing

any obligation to update our view of any risks or uncertainties described herein or to publicly announce
the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made in this Offering Memorandum, except
as required by law.
In addition, this Offering Memorandum contains information concerning our industry generally, which is
forward-looking in nature and based on a variety of assumptions regarding the ways in which our
industry will develop. We have based these assumptions on information currently available to us,
including through the market research and industry reports referred to in this Offering Memorandum.
Although we believe that this information is reliable, we have not independently verified and cannot
guarantee its accuracy or completeness. If any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be
incorrect, actual market results may differ from those predicted. While we do not know what impact any
such differences may have on our business, if there are such differences, they could have a material
adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition, and on the trading price of the
