NOTICE FROM THE ISSUER TO NOTEHOLDERS

IA Capital Structures (Ireland) plc

(the "Issuer")

Retail Holdings (Series 76) Notes due 2019

ISIN: XS1457633474 COMMON CODE: 145763347

(the "Notes" or the "Series" and the holders thereof the "Noteholders")

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this notice shall have the meanings ascribed to

them in the Series Memorandum in relation to the Notes dated 29 July 2016.

The purpose of this notice is to provide Noteholders with an update on the status of the Notes and

the Charged Assets for the Notes.

BACKGROUND

The Charged Assets for the Notes are principally comprised of the rights of the Issuer as lender

against Iasacorp International S.A.C. as borrower (the "Borrower") pursuant to an unsecured term

loan agreement originally dated 29 July 2016 and as most recently amended and restated on 28

April 2017 (the "Unsecured Loan Agreement"). Pursuant to a portfolio management agreement

dated 29 July 2016, the Issuer appointed BiscayneAmericas Advisers LLC as the portfolio

manager in respect of the Notes (the "Portfolio Manager").

The rights of the Issuer against the Borrower under the Unsecured Loan Agreement were acquired

by it following (i) the novation by Brazilian Industrial IC to the Issuer of its rights under a

promissory note dated March 31 2016 entered into between the Borrower, as borrower and

Brazilian Industrial IC as lender, the outstanding principal amount of which at the time of the

novation was USD 4,192,065 and (ii) the novation by Latam Retail I IC to the Issuer of a

promissory note dated June 26 2015 entered into between the Borrower, as borrower and Latam

Retail I IC as lender, the outstanding principal amount of which at the time of the novation was

USD 3,333,333.34 (the obligations of the Borrower under such promissory notes being the

"Novated Obligations"). In return for the transfer of the Novated Obligations, the Issuer delivered

Notes with a principal amount of USD 4,187,000 to the order of Brazilian Industrial IC and Notes

with a principal amount of USD 3,349,000 to the order of Latam Retail I IC. Following the

novation to the Issuer of the rights under the promissory notes, it was agreed by the Issuer and the

Borrower that such rights would be replaced by the rights and obligations under the Unsecured

Loan Agreement. In addition to acquiring the rights in respect of the Novated Obligations, the

Issuer advanced a new loan pursuant to the Unsecured Loan Agreement in the amount of USD

474,601.66.

The Issuer understands, based on information currently available to it, that the Portfolio Manager,

the Borrower, Brazilian Industrial IC, and Latam Retail IC are likely related parties.

The payment obligations of the Borrower under the Unsecured Loan Agreement became due and

payable on 1 August 2019 (the "Loan Maturity Date"). As detailed in a previous notice of the

Issuer in respect of the Notes dated 12 August 2019 (the "Previous Notice"), the Issuer (as lender)

did not receive payment of the amounts due under the Unsecured Loan Agreement on the Loan

Maturity Date.

The failure of the Borrower to make the payments due on the Loan Maturity Date constituted a

Charged Assets Default and pursuant to Condition 2(b) the Notes became due and repayable as

provided by Condition 2(e).

In addition, in accordance with Condition 2(e)(3), as a consequence of the Notes becoming due

and payable pursuant to Condition 2(b), the security granted by the Issuer in respect of the Notes

became enforceable. The Issuer is not aware of any steps having yet been taken to enforce the

security.

The Conditions provide that if the Notes become due and repayable in accordance with Condition

2(b), each Note will be redeemed by a payment of the Early Redemption Amount on the Early

Redemption Payment Date.

The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of each Note is an amount equal to its pro rata

share of the Net Proceeds. The calculation of the Net Proceeds is dependent on the determination

of the Realisable Value. The Realisable Value consists of an amount determined by the Calculation

Agent, being the pro rata share of the proceeds of sale or other means of realisation of the Charged

Assets (including for the avoidance of doubt any repayments or prepayments of principal under

the Unsecured Loan Agreement) or any proportion thereof, as determined by the Calculation

Agent, in respect of one Note less any costs, expenses, taxes and duties incurred in connection

with the disposal, liquidation, realisation or transfer of the Charged Assets by the Sale Agent or

any Agent of the Issuer.

The Early Redemption Payment Date means five (5) Business Days following the day that the

Issuer receives the aggregate Realisable Value pursuant to Special Condition (IV).

The occurrence of the Early Redemption Payment Date is therefore contingent upon the receipt by

the Issuer of the Realisable Value, being principally the amounts due under the Unsecured Loan

Agreement. Accordingly, notwithstanding that the Notes have become due and payable, the

payment of any amounts to Noteholders is contingent on the receipt of proceeds of realisation of

the Charged Assets.

As disclosed in the Previous Notice, the Borrower provided written notice that it was unable to

pay the principal amount and interest required under the terms of the Unsecured Loan Agreement

on the Loan Maturity Date.

Pursuant to clause 10.1.1. of the Unsecured Loan Agreement, the failure of the Borrower to pay

any amount payable by it under the Unsecured Loan Agreement on the date it falls due constitutes

an Event of Default and default interest of twelve per cent (12.00%) accrues daily on the unpaid

amount until such time as it is paid.

As detailed in the Previous Notice, the Portfolio Manager proposed a payment plan for the payment

of the amounts owed, together with all costs, fees and expenses (including default interest) (the

"Payment Plan"). A copy of the Payment Plan was appended to the Previous Notice. The Payment

Plan contemplated that the payments would be made in seven (7) installments (the "Payment

Dates") with 1 November 2020 being the proposed final Payment Date. As advised in the Previous

Notice, the Payment Plan was only an estimate of the amounts that would be paid by the Borrower

and the Issuer was unable to provide any assurances to Noteholders that it would be in a position

to distribute these amounts to Noteholders following the Payment Dates.

DEVELOPMENTS SINCE PREVIOUS NOTICE

Following the Previous Notice, the Issuer received a number of payments in discharge of the

unpaid amounts under the Unsecured Loan Agreement. The Issuer understands that these payments

were made with funds provided by the main shareholder of the Borrower. On 20 August 2019, a

payment consisting of USD 500,000 in respect of outstanding interest under the Unsecured Loan

Agreement was received. On 16 December 2019 a further payment of USD 499,870 in respect of

outstanding interest under the Unsecured Loan Agreement was received. The Issuer used the

payments of outstanding interest it received to fund distributions in respect of the Notes on 9

September 2019 and 19 December 2019. In addition to the payments in respect of outstanding

interest, the Issuer also received payments in respect of outstanding fees in connection with the

Unsecured Loan Agreement. A payment of USD 164,615.00 was received on 13 August 2019, a

payment of USD 8,920.00 was received on 4 September 2019 and a payment of USD 63,167.53

was received on 9 October 2019.

As at 14 September 2022, the amounts outstanding from the Borrower in respect of the Unsecured

Loan Agreement are approximately USD 8,000,000 in principal and USD 4,999,743.96 in interest

(this includes default interest). In addition, approximately USD 263,085.04 in respect of

outstanding fees is payable by the Borrower to the Issuer.

Additionally, litigation was initiated in April 2020 in Miami-Dade County, Florida in the United

States against the Borrower and the Portfolio Manager that concerns investments made in the

Notes. On 1 September 2022, parties to the litigation notified the Court that they had reached a

settlement of all the claims, including the claims against the Borrower and the Portfolio Manager.

RELATED PARTY COMMUNICATION

In the period since the previous Notice, a number of attempts were made on behalf of the Issuer to

contact the Borrower and the Portfolio Manager to request an update on when the Borrower would

be in a position to repay the outstanding amounts. On 15 July 2022 the Issuer received a

communication from Iasa Corporation S.A. which the Issuer understands is a related party of the

Borrower (the "Related Party") (the "Related Party Communication") in which it advised that

it was looking to repay the outstanding amounts under the Unsecured Loan Agreement by a

number of possible means , including: (i) asset disposals, (ii) cash flow from related entities, and

finally, (iii) an institutional investor who is interested in financing the business and/or making an

offer to purchase the outstanding amounts under the Unsecured Loan Agreement held by the

Issuer. The Related Party did not provide a firm timeline for when further payments would be

made under the Unsecured Loan Agreement but indicated that it would be provide further

information in the following weeks.

BANKRUPTCY OF THE BORROWER

The Issuer has been informed that a liquidator to the Borrower filed a petition for the bankruptcy

of the Borrower before the Peruvian courts which was granted and made publicly available on 18

May 2022. The Issuer understands that following a declaration of bankruptcy, it may no longer be

possible to recover directly from the Borrower any outstanding debts which remain unpaid.

In light of the above, Issuer is not able to provide any indication of the prospects of further amounts

being received under the Unsecured Loan Agreement which will impact the ability of the Issuer to

make further payments under the Notes.

CALCULATION OF THE NET ASSET VALUE OF THE PORTFOLIO

The Calculation Agent is currently unable to calculate a Net Asset Value of the Portfolio due to

the lack of information regarding the value, if any, of the Issuer's rights under the Unsecured Loan

Agreement. To the extent that the Calculation Agent determines, whether following the receipt of

further information or otherwise, that it is able to calculate a Net Asset Value of the Portfolio, a

further update will be issued to Noteholders. Noteholders should be aware that any previously

published Net Asset Value of the Portfolio should not be considered as an indication of the current

Net Asset Value of the Portfolio.

NEXT STEPS

The Issuer is assessing the next steps and as part of its assessment the Issuer will continue to seek

clarification of whether there is any prospect of further amounts being recovered from any party

in respect of the outstanding amounts under the Unsecured Loan Agreement. If it is established

that despite the intention expressed by the Related Party in the Related Party Communication to

make further payments, there is no prospect of further amounts being received under the Unsecured

Loan Agreement, the next steps may include a final redemption of the Notes at zero The Issuer

will publish a further notice for Noteholders once it has determined the next steps.

at this time. Noteholders who wish to discuss the possibility of action being commenced by the

Issuer in respect of the Unsecured Loan Agreement are invited to contact FlexFunds Ltd. using the
