Remarks:
(a) Please refer to the relevant issue prospectus for a description of the collateral and how further information relating to the collateral may be obtained.
(b) A synthetic CDO is a type of collateralised debt obligation (CDO). Whilst a CDO is generally a structured debt instrument backed by a pool of assets, a synthetic CDO is a CDO that is not actually invested in a physical pool of assets but rather in a credit default swap referencing a pool of reference assets, identified in the confirmation relating to such credit default swap. Such credit default swap confirmation is available for inspection by investors. Please check with your distributor for further details.
(c) These ratings were last adjusted on 13 October 2008.
Neither Constellation Investment Ltd nor DBS Bank Ltd has any obligation to update, or inform any person of any future changes to, the credit ratings shown in the table above.
