• The cash Payment Condition Determination Date is the date falling one calendar month prior to the relevant interest payment date
• If the ‘Cash Payment Condition’ is not satisfied, interest will not be paid in cash but instead be capitalised and satisfied through the issue of additional notes
• Under the existing terms of the Retail Notes, the maturity date was automatically extended to 15 October 2023 (from 15 April 2022) as EnQuest's senior credit facility had not been repaid or refinanced in full by 15 October 2020. Similarly, under the existing terms of the High Yield Notes, the maturity date was automatically extended to 15 October 2023 (from 15 April 2022) as the senior credit facility had not been repaid or refinanced by 30 October 2020.
