What is a bond?
A fixed rate bond is a form of borrowing by a company seeking to raise funds from investors. The bonds have a fixed life. The company promises to pay a fixed rate of interest to the investor (i.e. the bondholder) until the date that the bond expires when it also promises to repay the amount borrowed.

You do not have to keep the bonds until the date that the bond expires. A bond is a tradable instrument whereas a traditional loan (including a normal bank deposit or bank account) is not. The market price of a bond will fluctuate between the beginning of a bond's lifetime and when it expires. However, assuming the Issuer or the Guarantor do not go out of business or become insolvent, the bond will be repaid at its face value upon expiration of the bond. Please see the "How to trade the bonds" section below.
The Guarantee
All payments due from the Issuer under the bonds will be guaranteed by Places for People Homes Limited.
Please refer to the section in the Offering Circular entitled "Places for People Homes Limited" for additional information on Places for People Homes Limited.
(ii)
If you invest at a price other than the face value of the bonds, the overall return or 'yield' on the investment will be different from the headline yield on the bonds set out above. The headline indication of yield applies only to investments made at (as opposed to above or below) the face value of the bonds. There is no guarantee of what the market price for selling or buying the bonds will be at any time. If prevailing market conditions reduce market interest in the bonds, the availability of a market price may be impaired. Moreover, notwithstanding that Evolution Securities Limited will act as market maker (as explained below) for the bonds, if trading activity levels are low, this may severely and adversely impact the price that an investor would receive if it wishes to sell its bonds.
Fees
The Issuer will pay the fees set out in the Final Terms to the Lead Manager and the Distributors.
