The Ministry determines these emission conditions which define in more detail the rights and obligations of the issuer and bondholders, as well as information on the issue of bonds and requirements of the State bond of the Czech Republic, 2022-2024, VAR% (hereinafter referred to as "bond 'or" bonds').

2. The bonds are issued under other laws within the meaning of Section 25 (2) of the bond law.
3. The bonds are issued as book-entry securities and, at the date of issue, they are registered in the central register of book-entry securities, registered in accordance with § 92 (1) of Act No. 256 / 2004 Coll., on capital market business, as amended, under Czech law by the Central Depository of Securities, a.s., based in Rybná 14, 110 05 Praha 1, Czech Republic, registered by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section B, Insert 4308, ID: 25081489, (hereinafter referred to as "the Central Depository"). A person other than a CSD that is entitled to keep records of book-entry securities shall keep a bond register, if the issuer so decides.
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 yield of the bond shall be exercised by the person entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bond at 22.9 in 2022 and at dates 23.3 and 22.9 from 2023 and in the following year in accordance with Annex 1 to these emission conditions. The right to pay the yield of the bond for the period from the date of issue (including this date) to 22.10.2022 (excluding that date) shall be exercised by the person entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bond on 22.9.2022. Transferability of bonds and the possibility of establishing a lien for bonds after 22.9.2024 shall be excluded.
6. The yield of the bond is determined by the floating interest rate determined by the Ministry for each yield period on the date on which the average reference interest rate is determined. The minimum interest rate for each yield period shall be 0,00% p.a. The interest rate shall be published on the date on which the average reference interest rate is fixed on the Ministry's website. The average reference interest rate shall be determined as the arithmetic average of the reference interest rates for five consecutive working days, as set out in Annex 2 to these emission conditions, where the last of that date is the day preceding the date on which the average reference interest rate is determined in accordance with point 7 of these emission conditions, to the extent of three decimal places; the reference rate thus determined shall be rounded to two decimal places. The reference interest rate for the purposes of these emission conditions is, in relation to the relevant yield period, the value of 6M PRIBOR, which represents the reference value of interest rates as a percentage of p. a. (per annum) for the sale of the CZK deposit for a period of six months on the interbank deposit market. The yield of bonds determined on the basis of the relevant floating interest rate shall be paid twice a year, on the date of 22.4.and 22.10.of the relevant year. 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 date on which the average reference interest rate is determined for the purposes of these emission conditions in relation to the relevant yield period shall be the working day preceding the first day of the relevant yield period by two working days. For the purposes of the first yield period, the date of establishment of the average reference interest rate shall be the auction date of the first tranche of the bond issue. If the reference interest rate 6M PRIBOR is not published in one of the five working days referred to in Annex 2 to this Regulation, the reference interest rate shall be determined by the issuer as the arithmetic average, rounded to two decimal places, by listing the interest rate of the sale of the CZK interbank market for a period of six months obtained on such a day after 11: 00 (in words: 11th) hour of the Central European Time from at least five banks operating on the CZK interbank market at the choice of the issuer. If it is not possible to determine the relevant reference interest rate on such a day, the last known interest rate of 6M PRIBOR that is closest to that date shall be used for the purposes of determining the average reference interest rate and determining the yield of the bond for the relevant yield period.
8. For the avoidance of doubt, where the reference interest rate 6M PRIBOR ceases to be used on the interbank deposit market in general as a result of the transition of the Czech Republic to another legal currency, the interest rate that will normally be used on the interbank deposit market in the Czech Republic shall be used for the purposes of determining the average reference interest rate according to points 6 and 7 of these emission conditions. The change in the reference rate will be made in accordance with the relevant legislation in force on the date of the transition of the Czech Republic to another legal currency. The provisions of point 7 of these emission conditions shall apply mutatis mutandis to the reference interest rate established in accordance with this point.
9. The period of return shall be set at six months, each from 22.4 (including that day) to 22.10 (excluding that day) of the year in question and from 22.10 (including that day) of the year in question until 22.4 (excluding that day) of the year following that in Annex 1 to these emission conditions. The first yield period for the payment of the bond yield shall be from 22.4.2022 (including this date) to 22.10.2022 (excluding that date). The second yield period for the payment of the bond yield shall be set from 22.10.2022 (including this date) to 22.4.2023 (excluding that date). For the purposes of any calculation related to bonds issued on the basis of these emission conditions, a fraction of one year 's convention-based days of 360 (in words: three hundred sixty) days and the actual number of past days in the period for which the relevant calculation is made (ACT / 360) 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.
10. The issue of bonds may be issued in instalments (in tranches) within the deadline for subscription.
11. The issue rate of the bond of the relevant tranche of the bond issue will be determined by the auction rate. In the case of the issue of bonds by entry into the issuer's property account pursuant to § 35 (7) of Act No. 218 / 2000 Coll., on budgetary rules and on the amendment of certain related laws (budgetary rules), as amended, the issue rate of the bond will be determined at 100% of the nominal value.
12. The bonds are offered for subscription in the Czech Republic publicly and are sold on the primary market via the Czech National Bank pursuant to § 26 (4) of the bond law. 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. Other subscribers may only participate indirectly through persons designated by the issuer or through the issuer. The issuer is entitled to write bonds when they are issued first into the issuer's property account under the provisions of Section 15 (4) of the bond law and to acquire bonds before their due date, including the redemption of bonds at any price at any time after the date of issue and under other conditions determined by the Ministry. 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.
13. The primary sale of bonds in the first tranche of the bond issue will be made through the auction held on 20 April 2022 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.
14. Bonds may be issued in less than or greater than the total nominal value of the bond issuance 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).
15. The bonds will be repaid at nominal value on 22 October 2024. 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 22.9.2024. 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.
16. 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, either directly or through other mandates. The nominal value of the bonds will be repaid and bond yields will be paid by cash transfer according to instructions from persons who are entitled to exercise the rights associated with the bond at the date set by these emission conditions. The place of payment shall be the Czech National Bank or any other person authorised by the issuer who publishes the way in which the bond repayment and payment of bond yields will be made.
17. The valid assessment of the financial capacity (rating) of the long-term crown liabilities at the date of determination of these emission conditions by S & P Global Ratings is at AA level, Moody's at A3 level, Fitch Ratings at AA- level, Japan Credit Rating Agency at AA level, R & I at AA- level, Scope Ratings at AA level, and ACRA at AA level.
18. Bonds are direct, unconditional and unsubordinated debts of the Czech Republic, which are at the same level as all other existing and future direct, unconditional and unsubordinated debts of the Czech Republic.
19. The law relating to the bond shall be limited within the period laid down by the law in force at the time when the law may have been applied for the first time.
20. These emission conditions are announced by the Ministry in the Collection of Laws. An indication of the expected total nominal value of the bond issue shall be made available together with these emission conditions by publication in the Czech language on the Ministry's website in the part where the issuer publishes information on the sovereign debt issued by it. Any further notification to the holders of bonds and to the public concerning those bonds shall also be published in the same way.
21. The Czech National Bank does not supervise bond issues and their issuer.
22. 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.
23. Bonds are issued according to Czech law and taxation of bond yield is governed by Czech law. The rights and obligations of these emission conditions and of bonds issued on their basis shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with Czech law, regardless of the provisions of the conflict standards.
