IMPORTANT NOTICE: RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTING IN NOTES
When you invest in a Note, you are essentially lending money to the Note issuer. One key risk is the issuer defaulting on its interest payments or principal repayment to you. Market, business, legal and regulatory risks may affect the issuer’s ability to pay you the Note’s interest, or to repay the principal amount, for as long as you own the Note. Do note that there is no certainty that Frasers Property Limited, as Guarantor, will always remain solvent and able to fulfil its obligations under the guarantee. Other risks such as interest rate and market liquidity risks may affect the price that you can sell the Note for, or your ability to sell in the market if you choose to sell the Note before maturity. Please read the section “Risk Factors” of the Offering Circular for a description of other key risks. If you have further questions, please seek financial or other professional advice before you invest.
