– The paragraphs “Settlement of redemption” and “Anti-money laundering” has been simplified without any material changes as such.
– It has been clarified that the settlement date for Redemption is, in principle, the third Business Day from the relevant Valuation Day on which the order has been accepted (without, however, exceeding 8 (eight) Business Days). The Board of Directors or its delegate may, however, decide to defer the settlement date to the next reasonably practicable Business Day in exceptional circumstances, for example, if the liquidity of a Sub-fund is not sufficient to enable the payment to be made.
– The paragraph “Restrictions on Subscriptions and Conversions” has been amended to clarify that the Board of Directors may, at any time, decide to close a Sub-fund or a Share Class and not to accept any further Subscriptions and Conversions into the relevant Sub-fund or Share Class i) from new Investors who have not yet already invested into the said Sub-fund or into the said Share Class (“Soft Closure”) or (ii) from all any Investors (“Hard Closure”).

• It is now stated that the Company will value other debt securities not traded in an organized market on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service, approved by the board and the AIFM, which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities, quotations from dealers, market transactions in comparable securities, various relationships between securities and yield to maturity in determining value.

RISK FACTORS
This chapter has been renamed into “Risk” and now distinguishes between the liquidity and risk management functions on one hand and the risk factors on the other hand.
The risk warning titled “Special risk considerations regarding investments in Nordic Covered Bonds” has been renamed into “risk considerations regarding investments in Covered Bonds”. After emphasizing that the majority of the covered bonds are backed by mortgage pools this risk warning focuses on the specificities of the Nordic covered bonds.
A risk warning concerning the risks associated with investments in loans and similar instrument has been added.

COLLATERAL MANAGEMENT
The actual statement of requirements has been simplified and limited to the requirements applicable to the alternative investment funds with a focus on the re-use of collateral now worded as follow:
“The Sub-funds may transfer or pledge to any counterparty cash collateral received for the benefit of the Sub-fund.
Non-cash collateral may be sold, re-invested or pledged subject to the maximum proportion of the total Net Asset Value which may be subject to repurchase transactions et al. (repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements, buy-sell back or sell-buy back transactions) for the Sub-funds”.

PRIME BROKER
Henceforth, one or several prime brokers may be appointed to provide certain brokerage and dealing services to the Company. A Chapter 14 “Prime Broker” has been therefore added.

The subscription, redemption and conversion fees have been removed.
Moreover the Prospectus now indicated that all recurring expenses will be paid out of the assets of the relevant Sub-fund.
