PURPOSE OF THE ISSUE & USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds of the Bond Issue will be used by Global Financial Services Group plc (the Issuer) for the general financing purposes of the Group. In particular, the proceeds will be used to reorganise the Group’s inter-company borrowings and fund the expansion of operations in its core business segments. This will include, but will not be limited to, the following:

I) Expansion of the Group’s life assurance operations either via joint ventures or possible acquisitions;

II) Development of pension fund administration and servicing capabilities;

III) Investment in quality immovable properties both locally and overseas. The Group is currently seeking to achieve a balance between property held for development purposes and property held for long-term income and capital appreciation. The proceeds of the Bond Issue will assist the Issuer in achieving this balance, in the short term, by increasing the Group’s holding of immovable property held for income generation and longer-term capital appreciation purposes.

The Issuer will also be looking to anticipate and take advantage of any new business opportunities that may arise that fit the Group’s criteria for growth.
