The bonds may be issued in less than or greater than the expected nominal value of the bond issue in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the bond law.

One subscriber may subscribe through one application for a bond subscription of at least 1 000 units (in words: one thousand). The subscribers shall, when applying for a bond subscription to the distributor, certify in a credible manner that they belong to the persons referred to in point 4 of these emission conditions. The bond subscription price is the total nominal value of bonds subscribed by one subscriber multiplied by their issue rate. The subscriber is obliged to pay the price of the bond subscription within five working days of the end of the subscription period of the respective tranche. At the time of payment of the subscription price by the subscriber to the distributor's account, the subscription request becomes binding and cannot be cancelled by the subscriber. From the date of payment of the bond subscription price to the date of issue of the relevant bond issue tranche, this amount shall not be remunerated. After the date of the end of the subscription period of the respective bond issue tranche, the bonds of the respective tranche cannot be subscribed. In the event that the expected nominal value of the bond issue is reached or exceeded in accordance with point 6 of these terms of issue, the Ministry may decide to reduce the number of units of the subscribed bonds according to the applications for subscription of bonds submitted by the date of completion of the subscription period of the respective tranche of the bond issue. The unsatisfied or partially satisfied subscribers shall be reimbursed the price paid by them for the subscription of bonds which have not been subscribed without undue delay by means of a cash transfer to the payment account from which the funds have been placed in the distributor's account or the payment account indicated in the application for the subscription of bonds in the event of payment of the cash subscription price.

11. The issue of further tranches of bond issuance shall take the form of a reinvestment of bond yields issued in previous tranches under points 14 and 15 of these emission conditions, with the exception of the last bond yield, at the date of the reinvestment of the bond yield.
12. The issuer may decide to issue any further tranches of bond issuance, with the exception of tranches referred to in points 10 and 11 of these emission terms and conditions, and to determine the date of the beginning and end of the subscription period of the relevant subsequent tranche. Notice of any further tranches of bond issuance shall be published on the Ministry's website.
13. An application for the transfer of bonds shall be made via a distributor. Bonds are transferred without settlement. The transfer of bonds is limited in accordance with Section 26 (6) of the bond law. The transfer of bonds shall be permitted only between the persons referred to in point 4 of these emission conditions. The person to whom the bonds are transferred shall, when applying for the transfer of the bonds to the distributor, certify in a credible manner that they belong to the persons referred to in point 4 of these emission conditions. Transferability of bonds is excluded after 12 May 2016.
14. The yield of the bond (hereinafter referred to as "yield" or "income") shall be determined at a fixed interest rate of the amount fixed for each yield period in accordance with point 1 of these emission conditions. The proceeds shall be reinvested in accordance with point 15 of these emission conditions once a year, on a date of 12.6. from 2014 onwards, except for the last yield paid to the bond-holder, together with the repayment of the nominal value of the bonds at the maturity date of the bonds referred to in point 22 of these emission conditions, unless the bond-holder applies for the reinvestment of the last yield and the nominal value of all or the relevant part of the bonds held by the bond-issuance (hereinafter referred to as the "bond-reinvestment request ') in accordance with point 23 of these emission conditions. Where a bond holder applies for early repayment under point 20 of these terms and conditions, the amount of the relevant yield for the yield period, the end of which is close to or equal to the relevant early repayment date, shall not be reinvested but paid to the bond owner under point 20 of these terms and conditions.
15. Reinvestment of the proceeds means that at the date of reinvestment of the proceeds, bonds of the same bond issue at the total nominal value are credited to the property account of the bond owner, which corresponds to the amount of the return on all the bond holders of the same bond issue after tax, collected at a special tax rate for the relevant yield period. If the reinvestment date of the proceeds per day is not a working day, the relevant bonds will be credited to the owner's property account on the first following working day. For the purposes of reinvestment, the total amount of the yield of all the bond holders' bonds of the same post-tax issue, collected by withholding on a special tax rate for the relevant yield period, shall be rounded up to the full crown. The reinvestment of the yield increases the number of units of the owner's bonds and the total nominal value of the bond issue. The total amount of the last yield on all the bond holders' bonds paid to the bond owner, unless the bond holder applies for a reinvestment of the bonds under point 23 of these emission conditions, shall be rounded to a penny after tax levied on a withholding basis at a specific tax rate. In the case of bondholders who fail to provide proof of residence and an honest declaration of actual ownership of income, the reduced tax rate levied by deduction under the special tax rate resulting from a double taxation contract or the domestic Income Tax Act cannot be applied. If the above documents are documented after the date of the reinvestment of the proceeds, the amount of the refund will be paid by means of an uncash transfer to a payment account held in domestic currency in the domestic country and registered in the ownership account of the bond holder in the Ministry's register, in accordance with point 22 of these emission conditions.
16. The proceeds referred to in points 14 and 15 of these emission conditions shall always be received by the person who owns the bonds at 12 May starting in 2014. The proceeds for the first yield period from the date of issue until 12 June 2014 shall be received by the person who holds the bonds on 12 May 2014.
17. The calculation of the yield and the proportional yield shall be based on the actual number of calendar days per year and the actual number of days in the relevant yield period. The revenue period shall be the relevant yield period referred to in point 1 of these emission conditions. The proportional return shall be included in the price of the bond from the date of issue and shall be calculated as the yield multiplied by the proportion of the actual number of days from the date of commencement of the relevant yield period to the date of calculation of the proportional return and the actual number of days of the relevant yield period. The total amount of the proportional return on all the bond holders' bonds of this bond issue shall be rounded to the nearest cent in order to calculate the proportional return.
18. The separation of the right to yield from the bond is excluded.
19. The issuer shall not be entitled to early repayment of the bonds issued before their due date unless it applies for early repayment by the bond owner in accordance with point 20 of these emission conditions. The Ministry is entitled to write bonds when they are issued first into the issuer's property account in the Ministry's register within the meaning of Article 15 (4) of the bond law and to acquire bonds before their due date. Own bonds acquired by the issuer before their maturity date shall not be extinguished unless the issuer decides otherwise.
20. The bond owner shall be entitled to ask the Ministry, through a distributor, to repay the nominal value of all or part of the bonds held by him of this bond issue before their due date (hereinafter referred to as "the early repayment request ') in accordance with the following timetable:
| Datum prvního možného podání žádosti o předčasné splacení | Datum posledního možného podání žádosti o předčasné splacení | Datum předčasného splacení |
|---|---|---|
| 1. 4. 2014 | 30. 4. 2014 | 12. 6. 2014 |
| 1. 4. 2015 | 30. 4. 2015 | 12. 6. 2015 |
The nominal value of the bonds and the relevant proceeds after tax collected by withholding at the specific rate of tax for the period from the date of commencement to the date of the end of the relevant yield period, which is close to or equal to the relevant early repayment date, shall be paid to the person who holds the bonds on the first working day following the relevant date of the last possible application for early repayment. An application for early repayment shall be submitted by the bond holder through a distributor. As from the time of the application for early repayment, bonds in the number of units in which the application for early repayment was submitted may not be transferred. At one early repayment date, one bond-holder may apply for early repayment of at least 1 000 units (in words: 1 000) on one early repayment application. If the number of shares in the owner's property account is less than 1 000 (in words: one thousand), the holder of the bond may apply for early repayment of its own bonds in terms of less than 1 000 (in words: one thousand) if he applies for early repayment of all shares in the property account registered in the Ministry's register. At one early repayment date, one bond owner may apply for an early repayment of 100% (in words: one hundred percent) of its own bonds up to and including 500 000 (in words: five hundred thousand) and up to and including 50% (in words: fifty percent) of its own bonds over 500 000 (in words: five hundred thousand). Bonds by early repayment shall cease at the same time as the owner's right to return. The amounts corresponding to the nominal value of the owner's bonds and the relevant income after tax, collected by withholding at a special tax rate, shall be paid to the owner of the bonds on early repayment by an uncash transfer to a payment account held in domestic currency in the home country and recorded in the ownership account of the bond holder in the Ministry's register. If the date of early repayment is not the working day, such payments shall be made on the first following working day without entitlement to payment of the proceeds for such deferral. Any change to the payment account shall be notified by the bondholder to the Ministry through the distributor. The total amount of the relevant return on the number of units of bonds in which the relevant application for early repayment has been lodged paid to the holder of the bonds for the period from the date of the start of the relevant yield period to the date of the end of the relevant yield period shall be rounded to the nearest cent following tax taxation.
21. Bonds shall be repaid at nominal value on 12 June 2016, unless the bond-holder applies for early repayment in accordance with point 20 of these emission conditions or the bond-holder applies for reinvestment in bonds in accordance with point 23 of those emission conditions. This date concludes the interest on bonds. The issuer, within the meaning of Article 17 of the bond law, has decided that the right to repayment of bonds is for the person who is entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bonds on 12 May 2016. The nominal value of all the bearer bonds will be repaid together with the payment of the last yield to the person who holds the bonds on 12 May 2016. If the date of repayment of the nominal value of the bonds and the payment of the last yield is not a working day, such payments shall be made on the first following working day without entitlement to payment of the yield for such deferral.
22. The issuer undertakes to ensure the repayment of the nominal value of the bonds, together with the payment of the last yield to the holders of the bonds under these emission conditions. The CSDs, a.s., the Czech National Bank and the Ministry are involved in ensuring the repayment of the bond and the payment of the proceeds. The nominal value of the bonds shall be repaid, together with the payment of the last income after tax, collected by withholding at a special tax rate by means of a cash-free transfer to a payment account held in domestic currency in the home country and recorded in the property account of the owner of the bonds in the Ministry's register, unless the bond-holder applies for a reinvestment of bonds under point 23 of these emission conditions. Any change to the payment account shall be notified by the bondholder to the Ministry through the distributor. The total amount of the last yield on all the bond holders' bonds paid to the bond holder shall be rounded to a penny after tax levied by withholding tax on a specific tax rate.
23. A bond holder shall be entitled to apply for a reinvestment of bonds by the Ministry through a distributor to reinvest the last yield and the nominal value of all or part of all or part of the bonds it owns of that bond issue. In such a case, the holder of the bonds shall not be paid their last return and the total nominal value, or the relevant part thereof, shall not be repaid by means of an uncash transfer to the payment account in accordance with point 22 of these emission conditions, but shall be reinvested at the required amount by the holder in the government bonds pre-determined by the Ministry. The application for a reinvestment of bonds cannot be reinvested in the nominal value of bonds encumbered by third parties' rights, in particular liens, or in the nominal value of bonds for which the suspension of the exercise of the owner's right to dispose is recorded in the Ministry's register. The notification of the date from which the request for reinvestment of bonds can be made and of sovereign bonds in which the latest return and nominal value of bonds can be reinvested shall be published in good time on the Ministry's website. A bond-holder may, through one request for a reinvestment of bonds, apply for a reinvestment of the nominal value of its shares in government bonds determined by the Ministry of Finance of at least 1 000 units (in words: one thousand) and for a reinvestment of the last yield only in its entirety. The reinvestment of the last yield and the nominal value of all or the relevant part of the bonds it owns shall be requested by the Ministry by submitting a request for reinvestment of the bonds through the distributor. For the purposes of reinvesting the last yield and the nominal value of the bonds, the total amount of the owner's bond yield after tax collected by withholding at the special tax rate for the last yield period shall be rounded up to the full crown. The last day for the submission of an application for reinvestment of bonds is 11 May 2016. In the case of bondholders who have applied for the reinvestment of the last proceeds, the amount of the last proceeds after tax shall be reinvested by withholding at a special tax rate at the date of the reinvestment of the bonds. In the case of bondholders who fail to provide proof of residence and an honest declaration of actual ownership of income, the reduced tax rate levied by deduction under the special tax rate resulting from a double taxation contract or the domestic Income Tax Act cannot be applied. If the above documents are documented after the date of the reinvestment of the bonds, the amount of the refund will be paid by means of an uncash transfer to a payment account held in the domestic currency of the country which is registered in the property account of the owner of the bonds in the Ministry's register according to point 22 of these emission conditions.
24. Only one payment account for the purposes of payment of income, repayment of bonds before their due date and repayment of the nominal value of bonds shall be registered in the property account of the bearer established by the Ministry in the register of the Ministry, for all sovereign debt of the owner registered in the register of the Ministry. All payments referred to in the first sentence shall be made to a payment account registered in the Ministry register two working days before the date of execution of the relevant payment.
25. The valid assessment of the financial eligibility (rating) of long-term Crown liabilities at the date of determination of these emission conditions by Standard & Poor's is at AA level, Moody's at A1 level and Fitch Ratings at AA- level.
26. Bonds are direct, unconditional and unsubordinated liabilities of the Czech Republic, which are at the same level with all other existing and future direct, unconditional and unsubordinated liabilities of the Czech Republic.
27. Any rights associated with bonds shall be limited to 10 years from the date on which they could be exercised for the first time, in accordance with Article 42 of the bond law.
28. These emission conditions are announced by the Ministry in the Collection of Laws. The notice to the public concerning these bonds shall be published on the Ministry's website.
29. The operating rules of the Ministry's records shall be published as amended on the Ministry's website and shall be binding on all holders of bonds and distributors and on all persons involved in securing the repayment of bonds and the payment of revenues.
30. The Ministry reserves the right to conduct all acts related to the management of the Ministry's records, the subscription of bonds, the early repayment of bonds, the reinvestment of the nominal value of bonds, entries in the Ministry's records, changes in data and other related activities as defined in the Ministry's Operating Regulations.
31. These emission conditions may be translated into foreign languages. If there is a conflict between different language versions of emission conditions, the Czech version will be decisive.
