ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST")
takes no responsibility for the contents of this announcement,
makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and
expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever
arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the

YES Bank Limited acting through its International Financial
Services Centre Banking Unit announces the successful early
settlement of Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer for its
U.S.$600,000,000 3.75% Senior Notes due 2023.
YES BANK LIMITED ACTING THROUGH ITS INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL
SERVICES CENTRE BANKING UNIT
(the "Company")
to the holders of its outstanding
U.S.$600,000,000 3.75% Senior Notes due 2023
(of which U.S.$477,146,000 is outstanding)
to tender their Notes for purchase by the Company for cash up to
the Maximum Purchase Amount
(ISIN: XS1756056229; Common Code: 175605622)
June 17, 2022, YES Bank Limited acting through its International
Financial Services Centre Banking Unit (the "Company") hereby
announces the successful early settlement of Notes (as defined
herein) tendered pursuant to its previously announced offer to
purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") its outstanding
U.S.$600,000,000 3.75% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Notes") under
its U.S.$1,000,000,000 Medium Term Note Programme, in an aggregate
principal amount up to U.S.$200,000,000 (as such amount may be
changed by the Company in its sole discretion) (the "Maximum
Purchase Amount") from each registered holder (each, a "Holder"
and, collectively, the "Holders"), on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the tender offer memorandum dated June 2,
2022 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the
"Tender Offer Memorandum") prepared in connection with the Tender
Offer. The Company paid a total of U.S.$202,729,166.87, comprised
of (i) the Early Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the
Tender Offer Memorandum) in the amount of U.S.$1,000 per U.S.$1,000
principal amount of the Notes, and (ii) accrued and unpaid
interest, with respect to U.S.$200,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 P.M., New
York City time, on June 15, 2022 (the " Early Tender Deadline ")
and accepted for purchase by the Company on June 16, 2022 (the "
Tendered Notes ").
As the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered
prior to or at the Early Tender Deadline exceeded the Maximum
Purchase Amount, the Scaling Factor of approximately 63.192 per
cent. was applied in respect of valid tenders of the Notes validly
tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Deadline. Each tender of
Notes reduced in this manner will be rounded downwards to the
nearest U.S.$1,000 in aggregate principal amount. Where the
application of scaling would otherwise have resulted in either (i)
the Company accepting the Notes from any Holder in a principal
amount of less than U.S.$200,000 or (ii) the principal amount of
the Notes not purchased due to scaling being less than
U.S.$200,000, the Company has elected to accept such tenders of the
relevant Notes in full. All Notes not accepted as a result of
scaling will be returned to the relevant Holder and will remain
outstanding.
The Company has arranged for the Tendered Notes, which represent
approximately 41.92% of the total principal amount outstanding of
the Notes, to be cancelled on June 17 , 2022. The aggregate
principal amount of Notes that remains outstanding as of June 17 ,
2022 is U.S.$2 77,146,000 .
Expiration Time and Final Results Announcement
The Expiration Time of the Tender Offer will be 11:59 P.M., New
York City time, on June 30, 2022, unless extended or earlier
terminated (the "Expiration Time"). The Final Payment Date is
expected to be July 5, 2022 (the "Final Payment Date"), or two
business days following the Expiration Time.
The deadlines set by any intermediary or clearing system will be
earlier than the deadlines set out above.
Any Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time
but after the Early Tender Deadline that are accepted for purchase
will be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration (as
defined in the Tender Offer Memorandum) of U.S.$970 per U.S.$1,000
principal amount. In addition to payment of the Tender Offer
Consideration, the Company will also pay accrued and unpaid
interest and additional amounts, if any, on each of the Notes that
are validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Time but after
the Early Tender Deadline that are accepted for purchase pursuant
to the Tender Offer up to, but excluding, the Final Payment
Date.
The Company will further announce the aggregate principal amount
of Notes tendered as at the Expiration Time, whether the conditions
to the Tender Offer have been satisfied or waived, the principal
amount of Notes accepted for purchase by the Company and the
aggregate principal amount of Notes that will remain outstanding
following completion of the Tender Offer as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Expiration Time.
Holders are advised to read carefully the Tender Offer
Memorandum, available on the Tender Offer Website, for full details
of and information on the procedures for participating in the
Tender Offer.
