SENIOR NOTES; UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY GUARANTEED BY TEMIRBANK (KAZAKHSTAN) The Outlook for the Rating is Stable Limassol, March 15, 2006 - Moody's Investors Service has assigned a rating of B1 to the Senior Notes to be issued by a Dutch-based funding vehicle Temir Capital B.V., unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Temirbank (Kazakhstan). The amount of the notes has yet to be determined, but their tenor will not exceed three years. The outlook for the rating is stable. Moody's notes that the B1 rating assigned to Temir Capital is based on the fundamental credit quality of the guarantor, Temirbank (Kazakhstan) rated B1/NP/E+ (stable), which does not factor any support from the bank's shareholders and Kazakh financial authorities. The bank's obligations under the guarantee will rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other present and future unsecured obligations - as may be preferred by mandatory provisions of applicable law of general application. According to the terms and conditions of the notes, Temirbank must maintain on a consolidated basis (reported under IFRS) capital adequacy ratio of at least 10 % as well as comply with a number of other covenants such as negative pledge, limitations on mergers and consolidation, and restrictions on distribution of dividends. The rating agency notes that, while the likelihood of any of the above- mentioned covenants being triggered is relatively low, any such occurrence could potentially have adverse liquidity implications for the bank and might exert additional downward pressure on its ratings. Headquartered in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Temirbank reported total consolidated assets of US$487.4 million - in accordance with IFRS - as at 30 November 2005.
