4. Bonds may be subscribed and acquired by legal and natural persons having their registered office or residence in the Czech Republic and abroad (hereinafter referred to as "the subscriber 'or" subscribers').
5. The right to payment of the bond yield shall be exercised by the person who is entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bond as from 11 January 2018. The right to payment of the bond yield for the period from the date of issue (including this date) to 10.2.2018 (excluding that date) shall be exercised by the person entitled to exercise the rights attached to the bond on 11.1.2018. Transferability of bonds and the possibility to establish a lien on bonds shall be excluded after 11.1.2027.
6. The bond yield is determined at a fixed interest rate of 0,25% p.a. The bond yields shall be paid once a year at the date of the 10th of the relevant year starting in 2018. If the date of the yield of the bond is not a working day, the return of the bond shall be paid on the immediately following working day without entitlement to the return for such postponement.
7. The first yield period for the payment of the bond yield shall be fixed from 10.2.2017 (including this date) until 10.2.2018 (excluding that date). The following period of return shall be fixed as annual from 10.2 (including that date) of the year concerned until 10.2 (excluding that day) of the year following 2018. For the purposes of any calculation related to bonds issued on the basis of these emission conditions, a fraction of days based on the convention of the actual number of past days in the period for which the relevant calculation is made and the actual number of calendar days in the year [ACT / ACT standard (ICMA)] shall be used. The proportional return on the bond shall be included in the price of the bond from the date of issue, or from the date of commencement of the relevant yield period, to the date of calculation of the proportional return of the bond.
8. Debt issues may be issued in successive instalments (in tranches) within the subscription deadline.

10. Bonds are offered for subscription in the Czech Republic publicly, and according to Section 26 (4) of the bond law they are sold on the primary market via the Czech National Bank. The primary sale of bonds, the method and place of subscription of bonds, the method and deadline for the delivery of bonds to individual subscribers and the way and place of payment of the issue rate of the subscription bond is governed by the applicable Rules for the primary sale of government bonds organised by the Czech National Bank (hereinafter "Auction Rules'), which are published on the website of the Czech National Bank and the Ministry. Primary bond sales are carried out in the form of auctions. The auction place is Česká národní banka. Only a person designated by the issuer or issuer may participate in the auction.

Own bonds acquired by the issuer before their maturity date, including bonds repurchased by the issuer, shall not be extinguished and shall be at the discretion of the issuer whether it leaves them in the issuer's possession and, where appropriate, sells them or decides otherwise.
11. The primary sale of bonds in the first tranche of the bond issue will be made through the auction held on 8 February 2017 by the Czech National Bank according to the auction rules. The issue and primary sale of bonds by further tranches of bond issues following the first tranche of bond issuance shall be decided by the issuer and shall determine the date and manner of the relevant auctions according to the auction rules. The auction notice and the auction method shall be published in good time before the auction date on the Ministry's website.
12. Bonds may be issued in less than or greater than the total nominal value of the bond issue than the expected nominal value of the bond issue, in accordance with Article 7 of the bond law. The possible extent of the increase in the total nominal value of bond issuance is CZK 50 000 000 000 (in words: CZK 50 billion).
13. The bonds will be repaid at nominal value at 10.2.2027. This date concludes the interest on bonds. The bonds will be repaid together with the payment of the last bond yield to the person who owns the bonds at 11.1.2027. If the date of repayment of the bonds and the payment of the last bond yield is not a working day, such payments shall be made on the immediately following working day without entitlement to the return for such deferral.
14. The issuer undertakes to ensure, according to these emission conditions, the payment of bond yields and the repayment of bonds to persons who are entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bond on the date set by those emission conditions, exclusively in the crowns of Czech or other currency, which will be the legal currency of the Czech Republic at the date of the payment. The Czech National Bank and the Ministry are involved in ensuring the repayment of bonds and the payment of bond yields. The nominal value of the bonds will be repaid and the bond yields will be paid by cash transfer, or cash, according to the instructions of the persons entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bond at the date set by these emission conditions. The paying place is the Czech National Bank, which will publish the way in which bond repayment and bond proceeds will be made.
15. The valid assessment of the financial eligibility (rating) of long-term Crown liabilities at the date of the determination of these emission conditions by Standard & Poor's is at AA level, Moody's at A1 level and Fitch Ratings at AA- level.
16. Bonds are direct, unconditional and unsubordinated debts of the Czech Republic, which are at the same level with all other existing and future direct, unconditional and unsubordinated debts of the Czech Republic.
17. Any rights attached to bonds and coupons issued to them in accordance with the provisions of Section 42 of the bond law shall be limited by a period of 10 years from the date on which it may be applied for the first time.

Any further notification to the holders of bonds and to the public concerning those bonds shall also be published in the same way.
19. These emission conditions may be translated into foreign languages. If there is a conflict between different language versions of emission conditions, the Czech version is decisive.
