NOTICE OF A SIGNIFICANT EVENT AND/OR INSIDE INFORMATION
To: Aqueduct European CLO 14 Designated Activity Company (the “Borrower”)
We refer to the answer prepared by the European Commission and published
on 8 August 2025 in response to Question ID 2021_5851 relating to
Regulation (EU) No 2017/2402 (the “Securitisation Regulation”) and the use
of conditional sale agreements to season assets by an originator instead
of the originator purchasing the assets and then selling the same to a
securitisation SPE (the “Q&A Response”).
HPS Investment Partners CLO (UK) LLP is acting as collateral manager and
retention holder (in such capacity, the “Retention Holder”) in respect of
the warehousing transaction of the Borrower (the “Warehouse”).
The Retention Holder is aware of the Q&A Response and, whilst it has
seasoned assets for the Warehouse using a conditional sale agreement in
line with the market practice prevailing prior to the publication of the
Q&A Response, it is the Retention Holder’s reasonable belief, noting there
may be some uncertainty as to the regulatory interpretation of relevant
provisions of the Securitisation Regulation, that it meets the
requirements set out in limb (a) of the definition of “originator” in
Article 2(3) of the Securitisation Regulation in respect of the Warehouse.
In addition, the Retention Holder intends to put in place arrangements
pursuant to which the Retention Holder will purchase assets and will sell
such assets to the Borrower, conditional on such assets not defaulting
during the applicable seasoning period, for the purposes of limb (b) of
the definition of “originator” in Article 2(3) of the Securitisation
Regulation.
This notice and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in
connection with this notice will be governed by and construed in
accordance with English law.
No person has been authorised to give information, or to make any
representation in connection therewith, other than as contained herein.
The delivery of this notice at any time does not imply that the
information in it is correct as at any time subsequent to its date.
