Announcement relating to liquidity facility with Danske Bank A/S

As Noteholders will be aware, the transaction currently has the benefit of a liquidity facility provided by Danske Bank A/S ("Danske") which has provided the facility since 2006. Such liquidity facility has to be renewed annually in October each year by Honours submitting a renewal request to Danske within a five day notice period window, which it has done for each of the past 11 years.

Unfortunately, owing to a clerical error by Honours, the renewal request notice in respect of the renewal to be requested this October was not served on Danske within the five day notice period window (although the notice was sent to Danske as soon as the error was noticed - only 7 days after the five day notice period window and 18 days prior to the commitment termination date under the facility (which is 25 October 2018)). As a result of this, Danske both refused to extend and asserted that Honours could not make a standby drawing because it had not submitted its extension request in time.

Danske has however agreed with Honours to extend the liquidity facility by six-months, provided that:

-- Honours waives its right to draw a stand-by drawing even in the event of Danske losing it current short-term ratings;

   --     Legal fees associated with documenting the extension are borne by Honours and

-- Honours waives any claims it may have or purport to have in respect of the non-renewal of the liquidity facility.

With the approval of the Note Trustee, exercising its discretion to agree to the necessary amendments, Honours and Danske have therefore entered into a deed of amendment effecting such extension on the terms set out above.

Honours will, during this six-month extension period, seek to appoint a replacement liquidity provider and a further announcement will be made in due course.
