|
|
Variable Rate Commercial Bill
Acceptance and Discount Facility
|
|
Yield Rate:
|
For each drawing of bills, a rate
quoted by us expressed as a yield percent per annum to maturity
and, if necessary, will be rounded to the nearest two decimal
places for the face value of the bills for the relevant
tenor.
|
|
|
(a)
|
For tenors of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150
or 180 days, the actual rate used in the calculation will be the
Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid which is the
average bid rate for the relevant term displayed at or about
10.30am (Melbourne time) (“Specified Time”) on the
Reuters Screen BBSY page (“Screen Rate”) on the day the
quote is to be given by us (“Quotation Day”) and
advertised in the Australian Financial Review the following
business day.
|
|
|
If for any reason the Screen Rate is
not available at the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, then the
Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid will be the rate
determined by us to be the average of the buying rates quoted to us
(each a Quotation) by:
|
|
|
-
|
Australia and New Zealand Banking
Group Limited
|
|
|
-
|
Commonwealth Bank of
Australia
|
|
|
-
|
National Australia Bank Limited,
and
|
|
|
-
|
Westpac Banking
Corporation,
|
|
|
(or their respective successors and
assigns) (each a “Reference Bank”) at or about that
time on that date. The buying rates must be for bills of exchange
accepted by a leading Australian bank for bills having the same
tenor as those bills to be discounted or rolled.
|
|
Market Disruption:
|
If the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate
– Average Bid is to be determined by reference to the
Reference Banks and a Reference Bank does not supply a Quotation by
the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable Bank Bill
Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid will be determined on the
basis of the Quotations of the remaining Reference
Banks.
|
|
|
Should a Market Disruption Event
occur then the yield rate will be the rate notified to you by us
that we determine to be our cost of funding the relevant drawing
(from whatever source or sources we reasonably select) for a period
equal to the tenor of the bills being discounted plus the
Margin.
We may provide you with a
certificate confirming this rate signed by any manager of ours,
which certificate shall be sufficient evidence of the rate
certified unless the contrary is proved.
For the purposes of this facility,
Market Disruption Event means:
|
|
|
(i)
|
At or about noon (Melbourne time) on
the Quotation Day, the Screen Rate is not available and none or
only one of the Reference Banks supplies a quotation to us to
determine the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid;
or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Before close of business in
Melbourne on the Quotation Day we determine that the cost to us of
funding the drawing exceeds the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate
– Average Bid; or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
The rate calculated by reference to
the Screen Rate or by reference to the Reference Banks in our
opinion ceases to reflect our cost of funding the drawing to the
same extent as at the date of this Letter of Offer,
|
|
|
Alternative basis of
funding
If a Market Disruption Event occurs
and we or you so require, we must together enter into negotiations
(for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing
in writing a substitute basis for determining an alternative yield
rate for the drawing.
Any alternative basis agreed
pursuant to this clause shall bind the parties but, unless and
until such agreement is reached, the applicable yield rate for the
drawing will be the rate notified to you by us to be our cost of
funding the drawing, plus the Margin. For the avoidance of doubt,
should a refund of any amount be due from one party to the other as
a result of such negotiations, such amount must be paid as soon as
practicable and no party shall be entitled to claim or to receive
any interest or other compensation on any amount so
refunded.
|
|
|
(b)
|
For any tenor other
than 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 or 180 days, the actual rate
used in the calculation will be the rate that we determine is the
prevailing rate at which we can discount bills for the relevant
term (rounded to the nearest two decimal places) which will be no
less than our cost of funding the relevant drawing of bills for
that period plus a margin.
|
|
|
In any case, an additional margin
reflecting any movement in the actual rate since its quotation may
be applied if your bills are not ready for acceptance by us by 12
noon on the day the bills are to be discounted or rolled. The
margin to be applied will depend on the size of the bill parcel and
tenor.
Full details of how the rate has
been calculated will be set out in the quotation given by
us.

|
Yield Rate:
|
For each drawing of bills, a rate
quoted by us expressed as a yield percent per annum to maturity
and, if necessary, will be rounded to the nearest two decimal
places for the face value of the bills for the relevant
tenor.
|
|
|
(a)
|
For tenors of 30, 60, 90, 120, 150
or 180 days, the actual rate used in the calculation will be the
Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid which is the
average bid rate for the relevant term displayed at or about
10.30am (Melbourne time) (“Specified Time”) on the
Reuters Screen BBSY page (“Screen Rate”) on the day the
quote is to be given by us (“Quotation Day”) and
advertised in the Australian Financial Review the following
business day.
|
|
|
If for any reason the Screen Rate is
not available at the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, then the
Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid will be the rate
determined by us to be the average of the buying rates quoted to us
(each a Quotation) by:
|
|
|
-
|
Australia and New Zealand Banking
Group Limited
|
|
|
-
|
Commonwealth Bank of
Australia
|
|
|
-
|
National Australia Bank Limited,
and
|
|
|
-
|
Westpac Banking
Corporation,
|
|
|
(or their respective successors and
assigns) (each a “Reference Bank”) at or about that
time on that date. The buying rates must be for bills of exchange
accepted by a leading Australian bank for bills having the same
tenor as those bills to be discounted or rolled.
|
|
Market Disruption:
|
If the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate
– Average Bid is to be determined by reference to the
Reference Banks and a Reference Bank does not supply a Quotation by
the Specified Time on the Quotation Day, the applicable Bank Bill
Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid will be determined on the
basis of the Quotations of the remaining Reference
Banks.
|
|
|
Should a Market Disruption Event
occur then the yield rate will be the rate notified to you by us
that we determine to be our cost of funding the relevant drawing
(from whatever source or sources we reasonably select) for a period
equal to the tenor of the bills being discounted plus the
Margin.
We may provide you with a
certificate confirming this rate signed by any manager of ours,
which certificate shall be sufficient evidence of the rate
certified unless the contrary is proved.
For the purposes of this facility,
Market Disruption Event means:
|
|
|
(i)
|
At or about noon (Melbourne time) on
the Quotation Day, the Screen Rate is not available and none or
only one of the Reference Banks supplies a quotation to us to
determine the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate – Average Bid;
or
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Before close of business in
Melbourne on the Quotation Day we determine that the cost to us of
funding the drawing exceeds the Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate
– Average Bid; or
|
|
|
(iii)
|
The rate calculated by reference to
the Screen Rate or by reference to the Reference Banks in our
opinion ceases to reflect our cost of funding the drawing to the
same extent as at the date of this Letter of Offer,
|
|
|
Alternative basis of
funding
If a Market Disruption Event occurs
and we or you so require, we must together enter into negotiations
(for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing
in writing a substitute basis for determining an alternative yield
rate for the drawing.
Any alternative basis agreed
pursuant to this clause shall bind the parties but, unless and
until such agreement is reached, the applicable yield rate for the
drawing will be the rate notified to you by us to be our cost of
funding the drawing, plus the Margin. For the avoidance of doubt,
should a refund of any amount be due from one party to the other as
a result of such negotiations, such amount must be paid as soon as
practicable and no party shall be entitled to claim or to receive
any interest or other compensation on any amount so
refunded.
|
|
|
(b)
|
For any tenor other than 30, 60, 90,
120, 150 or 180 days, the actual rate used in the calculation will
be the rate that we determine is the prevailing rate at which we
can discount bills for the relevant term (rounded to the nearest
two decimal places) which will be no less than our cost of funding
the relevant drawing of bills for that period plus a
margin.
|
|
|
In any case, an additional margin
reflecting any movement in the actual rate since its quotation may
be applied if your bills are not ready for acceptance by us by 12
noon on the day the bills are to be discounted or rolled. The
margin to be applied will depend on the size of the bill parcel and
tenor.
Full details of how the rate has
been calculated will be set out in the quotation given by
us.
