The Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.50% per annum and will be issued in denominations of US$200,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof.

The net proceeds of the issue will be lent by STE RHQ to the Guarantor or the Group for the purpose of funding new capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes and/or refinancing existing borrowings.
