    FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties.

    Forward-looking statements give the current expectations and projections of the management of

    Tabreed relating to Tabreeds financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future

    performance and business. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not

    relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as anticipate,

    estimate, expect, project, plan, intend, believe and other words and terms of similar

    meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial

    performance or other events.

    These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the management of Tabreed have

    made in light of their experience in the industry in which they operate, as well as their perceptions of

    historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other facts which they believe

    are appropriate under the circumstances. Potential investors should understand that these statements

    are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are

    beyond the control of the management of Tabreed) and assumptions. Although the management of

    Tabreed believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, potential

    investors should be aware that many factors could affect Tabreeds actual financial condition or

    results of operations and cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking

    statements. These facts include, among other things, those discussed under the section headed Risk

    Factors in this Prospectus.

    Because of these factors, the management of Tabreed caution that potential investors should not

    place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement

    speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time,

    and it is impossible to predict these events or how they may affect Tabreed. Except as required by

    law, the management of Tabreed have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the

    forward-looking statements in this Prospectus after the date of this Prospectus.

    Dissolution Event to the Certificateholders in accordance with

    Condition 15 with a request to such holders to indicate if they wish

    the Trust to be dissolved. If so requested in writing by the holders

    of at least 25 per cent. in aggregate face amount of the Certificates

    then outstanding, or if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution

    (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) of the holders of

    discretion, may give notice to all the holders of the Certificates in

    10

  • 8/10/2019 Tabreed06 Prospectus

    11/142

    accordance with Condition 15 that the Certificates are to be

    redeemed at the Dissolution Distribution Amount on the date

    specified in such notice.

    Redemption for Tax Reasons If as a result of a change in law after the Closing Date, (a) Tabreed

    would, on any subsequent Rental Payment Date (as defined under

    the Lease Agreement) or Payment Date (as defined under the

    Istisnaa Agreement), be required to pay additional amounts as

    described in Condition 10, and such requirement cannot be avoidedby the use of reasonable measures available to Tabreed, or (b) the

    Issuer would on any subsequent Periodic Distribution Date be

    required to make a withholding or deduction in respect of amounts

    payable by it under the Certificates, Tabreed may (having given not

    less than 45 Business Days written notice prior to the next Rental

    Payment Date (as defined under the Lease Agreement) or Payment

    Date (as defined under the Istisnaa Agreement)) terminate the

    Lease Agreement and, if applicable, the Istisnaa Agreement

    whereupon, under the Purchase Undertaking, the Issuer may

    require Tabreed to buy the Assets pursuant to the terms of the

    Purchase Undertaking at the Exercise Price. In addition, and to the

    extent that there are Plants or parts thereof which have not beendelivered under the Istisnaa Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled

    to retain the Security Amount and the Istisnaa Agreement shall be

    terminated thereafter. The Trustee will then redeem the Certificates

    at the Dissolution Distribution Amount on the Periodic

    Distribution Date following receipt of the Exercise Price and the

    Trust will thereafter be dissolved.

    Security Amount means the amount of US$1,250,000 to be paid

    on each Payment Date by Tabreed as security for its obligations

    under the Istisnaa Agreement.

    Redemption for Issuer Default In the event that the Issuer does not pay to the Contractor the

    instalments on the dates and in the manner described in theIstisnaa Agreement, Tabreed may by notice to the Issuer at least 16

    Business Days prior to the next Periodic Distribution Date request

    termination of the Istisnaa Agreement whereupon the Istisnaa

    Agreement and Lease Agreement shall terminate and the Issuer

    may require Tabreed to buy the Assets pursuant to the terms of the

    Purchase Undertaking at the Exercise Price. In addition, and to the

    extent that there are Plants or parts thereof which have not been

    delivered under the Istisnaa Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled

    to retain the Security Amount and the Istisnaa Agreement shall be

    terminated thereafter. The Trustee will then redeem the Certificates

    at the Dissolution Distribution Amount on the Periodic

    Distribution Date following receipt of the Exercise Price and theTrust will thereafter be dissolved.

    Redemption Following Total Loss

    Event

    Following the occurrence of a Total Loss Event, if the proceeds of

    any Insurances (as defined in the Service Agency Agreement)

    received in respect of such Total Loss Event are less than the

    applicable Base Amount, such an event shall constitute evidence

    that the Service Agent has failed to perform its obligations to insure

    under the Service Agency Agreement and shall therefore be liable to

    pay to the Lessor an amount equivalent to the shortfall between

    any amounts received from the insurers and the Exercise Price

    unless the Service Agent proves otherwise. In addition, and to the

    extent that there are Plants or parts thereof which have not been

    delivered under the Istisnaa Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitledto retain the aggregate Security Amounts paid to it under that

    agreement (unless the termination is due to the default, negligence

    11

  • 8/10/2019 Tabreed06 Prospectus

    12/142

    or misconduct of the Issuer) and the Istisnaa Agreement shall be

    terminated thereafter. The Trustee will then redeem the Certificates

    at the Dissolution Distribution Amount following receipt of the

    Exercise Price and the Trust will thereafter be dissolved.

    Total Loss Event means (i) the total loss or destruction of, or

    damage to the whole of, the Delivered Plants or any event or

    occurrence that renders the whole of the Delivered Plants

    permanently unfit for any economic use and the repair orremedial work in respect thereof is uneconomical or (ii) the

    compulsory acquisition, confiscation or expropriation of the whole

    of the Delivered Plants.

    expenses arising in connection with the issue of the Certificates and

    under the Transaction Documents.

    Limited Recourse Each Certificate represents an undivided beneficial ownership

    interest in the Trust Assets. Accordingly, the Certificateholders

    will have no recourse to any assets of the Issuer, the Trustee, the

    Agents or any affiliate of any of the foregoing entities in respect of

    any shortfall in the expected amount from the Trust Assets.Tabreed is obliged to make payments under the Transaction

    Documents to which it is a party directly to the Issuer, and the

    Issuer, as trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will have

    direct recourse against Tabreed to recover payments due to the

    Issuer from Tabreed pursuant to the Transaction Documents to

    which Tabreed is a party. In addition, and to the extent that

    Tabreed does not fulfil its payment obligations under the Purchase

    Undertaking, the Trustee may, in accordance with the Conditions

    and the Declaration of Trust, exercise its right to sell the Assets to

    third parties and, to the extent relevant, liquidate the Authorised

    Investments.

    Enforcement Following the distribution of the proceeds of the Trust Assets inrespect of the Certificates to the Certificateholders in accordance

    with the Conditions and the Declaration of Trust, the Trustee shall

    not be liable for any further sums and, accordingly,

    Certificateholders may not take any action against the Trustee to

    recover any such sum or asset in respect of the Certificates or other

    Trust Assets.

    have any right to cause the sale or other disposition of any of the

    Trust Assets except pursuant to the Purchase Undertaking,

    Trust and the sole right of the Trustee and the Certificateholders

    against Tabreed shall be, if applicable, to enforce the obligation of

    Tabreed to pay the Exercise Price thereunder. In addition, and to

    the extent that Tabreed does not fulfil its payment obligations

    under the Purchase Undertaking, the Trustee may, in accordance

    with the Conditions and the Declaration of Trust, exercise its right

    to sell the Assets to third parties and, to the extent relevant,

    liquidate the Authorised Investments.

    The Trustee shall not in any circumstances be obliged to take any

    action against Tabreed under the Transaction Documents unless,

    following the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, directed to do so

    by the Certificateholders in accordance with the Conditions.

    No Certificateholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against

    Tabreed unless (i) the Trustee, having become bound so to proceed,fails to do so within 30 days of becoming so bound and such failure

    is continuing and (ii) the relevant Certificateholder (or such

    15

  • 8/10/2019 Tabreed06 Prospectus

    16/142

    Certificateholder together with the other Certificateholders who

    propose to proceed directly against Tabreed) holds at least 25 per

    enforcing or realising such Trust Assets and distributing the net

    proceeds in accordance with Condition 4.2, the obligations of the

    Relevant Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 10), and all interest,

    penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (Taxes), unlessthe withholding or deduction of the Taxes is required by law. In

    such event, (a) where Tabreed is required to make such a

    withholding or deduction, Tabreed will be required, pursuant to

    the relevant Transaction Document, to pay to the Issuer, and/or (b)

    where the Issuer is required to make such a withholding or

    deduction, the Issuer will be required to pay in respect of the

    Certificates, additional amounts (which amounts will be applied

    towards payments in respect of the Certificates) so that, subject to

    certain exceptions, the full amount which otherwise would have

    been due and payable under the Certificates is received by parties

    RISK FACTORS

    Prospective investors should consider carefully the risks set forth below and the other information

    contained in this Prospectus prior to making any investment decision with respect to the Certificates.

    Each of the risks highlighted below could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations,

    financial condition or prospects of the Issuer and Tabreed, which, in turn, could have a material adverse

    effect on the amounts which investors will receive in respect of the Certificates. In addition, each of the

    risks highlighted below could adversely affect the trading price of the Certificates or the rights of

    investors under the Certificates and, as a result, investors could lose some or all of their investment.

    Prospective investors should note that the risks described below are not the only risks that the Issuer

    and/or Tabreed faces. The Issuer and Tabreed have described only those risks relating to their operations

    that they consider to be material. There may be additional risks that they currently consider not to be

    material or of which they are not currently aware, and any of these risks could have the effects set forth

    above.

    Risk Factors relating to Tabreed

    Customer Concentration of Tabreed

    Tabreeds customer base is concentrated in one major customer, the UAE armed forces, which

    currently accounts for approximately 84.4 per cent. of Tabreeds district cooling revenues. Although

    the UAE armed forces is an entity of the investment grade rated UAE government, Tabreed remainsexposed to the risk of any future change in government policy on the use of district cooling systems

    in military installations. Tabreeds reliance on one major customer is expected to remain the same

    over the medium term, as its future projects now under consideration are mainly for the UAE armed

    forces.

    Contracts with the UAE Armed Forces

    As mentioned above, much of Tabreeds district cooling revenue is derived from a master contract

    with the UAE armed forces. If the UAE armed forces were to be in breach of this master contract or

    were to take possession of a cooling plant sited on its land, it may in practice prove very difficult for

    Tabreed to gain full compensation for its losses before the UAE courts, especially in light of the

    sovereign status of the UAE armed forces and the factors described below relating to title to a

    cooling plant which is or becomes affixed to land in the UAE.

    Furthermore, Tabreeds master contract with the UAE armed forces provides for (i) the right for the

    UAE armed forces to acquire the applicable plant at any time during the life of the master contract,

    and (ii) for the contract to be terminable by the UAE armed forces at any time when it is considered

    in the public interest to do so in the sole opinion of the UAE armed forces. It is unclear in such

    circumstances whether the amount payable to Tabreed would amount to full or adequate

    compensation for the loss of the master contract and, to the extent applicable, the plant itself.

    Tabreeds master contract with the UAE armed forces also contains a provision which purports to

    require Tabreed to take responsibility for all damage to the property of the UAE armed forces, or

    any third party which takes place at the site of the plant, irrespective of whether the damage is

    occasioned by or in relation to the operation of the plant. It is uncertain whether or not a UAE

    court would interpret this as imposing strict liability on Tabreed for such incidents.

    No Fixed Contracts with Utilities Suppliers

    Tabreed does not have, nor will it be entering into for the foreseeable future, any fixed contract with

    utilities suppliers except gas suppliers. As a result, changes in regulations and operations of the

    utilities suppliers could all have a significant impact on profitability given the scale of consumption by

    Tabreed of such utilities.

    Corporate Disclosure and Accounting Standards

    The reporting, accounting and financial practices applicable to UAE companies differ in certain

    material respects from those applicable to similar companies in the United States and the United

    Kingdom. There is less publicly available information regarding securities of listed UAE companies,

    such as Tabreed, than is regularly published by public companies in the United States, the UnitedKingdom and certain other more developed markets. However, Tabreed follows IFRS accounting

    standards.

    18

  • 8/10/2019 Tabreed06 Prospectus

    19/142

    Legionnaires Disease

    Tabreed is a user of wet cooling towers. In the past, such cooling towers have been a source of

    legionnella bacteria which can cause Legionnaires disease. Whilst Tabreed mitigates this risk through

    rigorous chemical control of the cooling water and insurance cover, an outbreak of Legionnaires

    disease would impact the operations of the relevant plant which in turn would have an adverse effect

    on cash flows relating to that plant. Whilst Legionnaires disease has been encountered at other

    cooling plants in other parts of the world such as North America, no plants operated by Tabreed

    have been affected to date.

    Interest Rate Risk

    Most of Tabreeds financings are floating rate exposures with the total amount of floating rate

    exposure as at 31 December 2005 being AED676,000,000 out of a total exposure of

    AED1,071,000,000. Whilst Tabreed has entered into a range of hedging instruments to mitigate this

    risk, significant fluctuations in interest rates could adversely impact Tabreeds ability to service its

    obligations under its financings.

    Risk Factors relating to the Issuer

    Dependancy on Tabreed

    The Issuer is a newly established exempted limited company incorporated on 7 June 2006 and has nooperating history. The Issuer will not engage in any business activity other than the issuance of the

    Certificates, the acquisition of the Trust Assets as described herein, acting in the capacity as Trustee

    and other activities incidental or related to the foregoing as required under the Transaction

    Documents.

    The Issuers only material assets, which will be held on trust for the Certificateholders, are currently

    the Trust Assets, including the obligation of Tabreed to make rental payments under the Lease

    Agreement and to make other payments under the Purchase Undertaking and the Istisnaa

    Agreement, to the Issuer in its capacity as Trustee. Therefore, the Issuer is subject to all the risks to

    which Tabreed is subject, to the extent that such risks could limit Tabreeds ability to satisfy in full

    and on a timely basis its obligations under the Lease Agreement, the Purchase Undertaking and the

    Istisnaa Agreement. See Risk Factors relating to Tabreed above for a further description of certain

    of these risks.

    The ability of the Issuer to pay amounts due on the Certificates will primarily be dependent upon

    receipt by the Issuer from Tabreed of all amounts due under the Istisnaa Agreement, the Lease

    Agreement and the Purchase Undertaking and, to the extent that a Dissolution Event occurs prior to

    the first Periodic Dissolution Date, the receipt of the Purchase Price from the Counterparty on the

    first Periodic Distribution Date (which in aggregate may not be sufficient to meet all claims under the

    Certificates and the Transaction Documents).

    In the event that the Issuer is unable, on any Periodic Distribution Date, to pay the relevant Periodic

    Distribution Amount in full, or following a Dissolution Event, to pay the Dissolution Distribution

    Amount in full for failure of Tabreed to pay the Exercise Price, the Issuer shall be entitled to sell the

    Assets to third parties, liquidate the Authorised Investments and to the extent that the Dissolution

    Event occurs prior to the first Periodic Distribution Date, sell the Commodities to the Counterpartyon the first Periodic Distribution Date. The resulting amount may still not be sufficient to pay to the

    Certificateholders the full Dissolution Distribution Amount. The Issuer will not have any other funds

    available to meet its obligations under the Certificates. In particular, where the Dissolution Event

    occurs prior to the first Periodic Distribution Date, the Purchase Price under the Undertaking to

    Purchase (Commodities) will only be received by the Issuer on the first Periodic Distribution Date

    and, therefore, Certificateholders may experience a delay in receiving any amounts in connection

    therewith.

    Limited Recourse Obligations

    The Certificates will represent entitlement solely to the Trust Assets. Accordingly, recourse in respect

    of the Certificates is limited to the Trust Assets and the proceeds of the Trust Assets are the sole

    source of payments on the Certificates. The Certificateholders will have no recourse to any assets ofthe Issuer, the Trustee, the Agents, the Managers or any of their affiliates in respect of any shortfall

    in the expected amounts from the Trust Assets.

    Enforcement of Liabilities

    Ultimately the payments under the Certificates are dependent upon Tabreed making payments to the

    Issuer under the Lease Agreement, the Purchase Undertaking and the Istisnaa Agreement. If Tabreed

    fails to do so, it may be necessary to bring an action against Tabreed to enforce its obligations

    before the UAE courts which may be costly and time consuming.

    Investment Agreement

    Under the Investment Agreement the Issuer shall invest the Investment Amount in AuthorisedInvestments. There is a risk that the banks and financial institutions with whom the Investment

    Amount (or part thereof) is deposited may fail to pay the Investment Amount (or part thereof) and

    yields on it to the Issuer on a timely basis in order for the Issuer to meet its obligations to pay

    Tabreed under the Istisnaa Agreement. This enables Tabreed to trigger an Istisnaa Event of Default

    which will result in the Certificates being redeemed earlier in accordance with Condition 9.

    Additional Risks

    Suitability of Investment

    The Certificates may not be a suitable investment for all investors.

    Each potential investor in the Certificates must determine the suitability of that investment in light of

    its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

    (a) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Certificates,

    the merits and risks of investing in the Certificates and the information contained in this

    Prospectus;

    (b) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its

    particular financial situation, an investment in the Certificates and the impact the Certificates

    will have on its overall investment portfolio;

    (c) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the

    Certificates or where the currency for principal is different from the potential investors

    currency;

    (d) understand thoroughly the terms of the Certificates and be familiar with the behaviour of any

    relevant indices and financial markets; and

    (e) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios foreconomic and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable

    risks.

    Emerging Markets

    Investors in emerging markets should be aware that these markets are subject to greater risks than

    more developed markets, including in some cases significant legal, economic and political risks.

    Accordingly, investors should exercise particular care in evaluating the risks involved and must decide

    for themselves whether, in the light of those risks, their investment is appropriate. Generally,

    investment in emerging markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the

    significance of the risk involved.

    Change of Law

    The structure of the issue of the Certificates is based on English law, UAE law and administrative

    practice in effect as at the date of this Prospectus. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any

    possible change to English law, UAE law or administrative practice after the date of this Prospectus,

    nor can any assurance be given as to whether any such change could adversely affect the ability of

    the Issuer to make payments under the Certificates.

    Political, Economic and Related Considerations

    The UAE has seen significant economic growth and relative political stability. There can be no

    assurance that such growth or stability will continue. Moreover, while the UAEs federal government

    policies have generally resulted in improved economic performance, there can be no assurance that

    such level of performance can be sustained. Tabreed may also be adversely affected generally by

    political and economic developments in or affecting the UAE.No assurance can be given that the UAE government will not implement regulations or fiscal or

    monetary policies, including policies or new regulations or new legal interpretations of existing rates

    21

  • 8/10/2019 Tabreed06 Prospectus

    22/142

    or exchange controls, or otherwise take actions which could have a material adverse effect on the

    Tabreeds business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects or which could adversely

    affect the market price and liquidity of the Certificates.

    The Issuer and/or Tabreed may be affected if there are regional, political or economic events that

    prevent the Issuer and/or Tabreed from delivering their services. It is not possible to predict the

    occurrence of such events or circumstances or the impact of such occurrences and no assurance can

    be given that the Issuer and/or Tabreed would be able to fulfil their respective obligations if such

    events or circumstances were to occur. A general UAE downturn or instability in certain sectors ofthe UAE or regional economy could have an adverse effect on Tabreeds business, financial condition,

    results of operations or prospects.
