5.4 Risks Involved in Investing In the Debentures

Reinvestment Risk

The calculation for Annual Effective Rate (AER) assumes the investor is able to reinvest his coupons at the same interest rate. The investor who is paid periodic coupon faces the risk of investing these coupon payments to generate the required AER on his investment. Assuming the investor is unable to invest these coupon payments at the same interest rate on the Debenture, the Debenture Holder may not be able to generate the required AER. In case the investor can find an investment which yields a higher interest rate than the Debenture interest, the Debenture Holder can generate a higher AER by reinvesting the coupon in such instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

The price of a Debenture will have a negative correlation with the market interest rates. Interest rate risk captures this relationship between market interest rates and the value of Debentures. If market interest rates rise, the value of the Debentures may fall: as market interest rates fall, the value of Debentures may rise (all other factors being equal). If the investor wishes to sell the Debenture prior to its maturity, he might be facing a capital loss/gain if the market interest rates have increased/decreased subsequently. Interest rate

risk is irrelevant for the investor who wishes to hold the Debenture until maturity.

Credit Risk

Risk of the Issuer not being able to pay interest and principal payments as promised on a timely basis is default risk/ credit risk. It is advisable for prospective Debenture investors to take into account the credit rating awarded to the Company and its Debentures by ICRA, present financial strength as reflected in the Balance Sheet of the Company, assets and earnings growth, experiences and skills of the Directors and senior management when forming an opinion on default risk. Since the capital and two interest instalments invested in the Debentures are guaranteed, credit risk is gauged in terms of the Guarantee; as such the credit risk is very remote. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk refers to the ease with which the Debentures can be sold in the secondary market, after the initial placement. Since the Debentures are listed, should an investor require an exit option; they will be able to sell the Debentures through the CSE in order to convert them to cash and to exit from the investment. Therefore the liquidity risk is mitigated to a greater degree in the Debenture. Investors have to be mindful of the fact that even though the Debentures are listed, trading of listed debt is not at an advanced stage as the equity markets in Sri Lanka.

Call Risk

The uncertainty to the Debenture investor is when the issuer has the option of redeeming the Debentures before maturity, thus being called upon to terminate the investment early is known as "Call Risk". As the Debenture will be used as a guaranteed and a diversified long term source of funding to reinforce the Company’s Tier II capital base and to strengthen the asset base and to reduce the interest rate risk by reducing the maturity mismatch of assets and liabilities, these Debentures shall not be subject to redemption by the Company prior to the date of redemption except in the event of the occurrence of any of the events of default stated in the Trust Deed.

5.6 Objectives of the Issue

The proposed issue will further reinforce the Company’s Tier II capital base and the funds will be utilised to further strengthen the asset base and to reduce the interest rate risk by reducing the maturity mismatch of assets and liabilities. The Company has obtained the CBSL approval to include the value of the Subordinated Debentures issued under this Prospectus in Tier II capital base. The Company intends to utilise the funds to grow its asset base by granting loans and advances to the customers for the financial year 2015/2016 and the Company does not foresee any risk in achieving this objective within specified timeline, as the lending portfolio of the Company has been expanding and the private credit growth has also been significantly increasing in the current year. Funds raised via the Debenture issue will diversify the sources of long term funding and it will enable the Company to eliminate the asset liability mismatch. However, in the event the Company is unable to utilise the funds raised within specific timeline, the funds will be invested in liquid short term fixed income instruments in order to minimise the liquidity risk until the entire proceeds are disbursed. The Company has Issued LKR 1 Billion worth of Subordinate Debentures in May 2015 with the intention of increasing the Tier II capital and to increase the lending portfolio. The objectives of the previous Debenture Issue were successfully achieved and it is reflected in the Post Debenture Issue Tier II Capital ratio (Refer below table) of the Company.
