(in KZT), and devaluation/revaluation rate coefficient (Kd), which is
calculated as ratio of official US dollar rate set by the National Bank of
Kazakhstan towards KZ tenge (Xt) on current date, to similar rate (Xo) on
bonds' circulation starting date (Kd=Xt/Xo, Хо=154,50).
Interest rate charging on bonds starts since the date, which follows the day of
money transfer by the financial agent for the bonds purchased by buyers at
primary floatation to the issuer's account, and is made during the whole
circulation term, including maturity day. The issuer has the right for
prescheduled redemption of bonds with interest payment for the time of their
actual being in circulation in the next period of interest rate charging.

haggling is coupon interest rate, which is introduced in KASE trade system as
the price in percentage towards face value in annual expression. Number of
bonds is shown in their face value.

specialized trades after conducting of cutting-off procedure by a step of one
hundredth of the rate's value. Bids, yield in which exceeds the rate, which has
been chosen by the issuer as cutting-off rate, are cut off. All bids, which are
submitted at the rate that equals or less than cutting-off rate, are satisfied
at the single yield, which equals to cutting-off rate. The issuer may satisfy
all or a part of bids, rates in which equal to cutting-off rate. In this case
bids are satisfied in submitted order.
