Thereafter, the Maturity Date shall be further extended automatically to the thirtieth (30th) day of each subsequent month, but no later than 30 July 2029 (or, in each case, if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each such one (1) month period, an "Additional Extension Period" and, together with the Initial Extension Period, an "Extension Period") unless (i) all Event Reports with respect to potential Applicable Events required to be delivered by the applicable Event Calculation Agent under the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement are received by ADB on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the then-applicable Extended Maturity Date or (ii) ADB elects by written notice given to the Global Agent on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the then-applicable Extended Maturity Date, not to further extend the Maturity Date, in which case the Maturity Date shall be the then-applicable Extended Maturity Date.

If ADB delivers a Partial Extension Notice, then on the Scheduled Maturity Date or an Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, immediately following the date on which ADB delivers a Partial Extension Notice with respect to the Notes:
|
||
| (1) | the Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes shall be reduced by the Repayment Amount specified in such Partial Extension Notice (the "Partial Repayment"); provided, that in no event shall a Partial Repayment reduce the Outstanding Nominal Amount to an amount less than zero (U.S.$0); and | ||
| (2) | in addition to the payment of accrued interest with respect to the Interest Period then ending, the following amount shall be paid with respect to the Notes: the lesser of (a) the Repayment Amount and (b) the Outstanding Nominal Amount calculated as of the Scheduled Maturity Date or relevant Extended Maturity Date, as applicable (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction on such date, but without giving effect to any Partial Repayment on such date). | ||
|
Any Partial Repayment will be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, more than one Partial Repayment may occur with respect to the Notes, and a Partial Repayment could reduce the Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes to zero (U.S.$0).
|
|||
|

"Extension Event" means that the maturity of the Notes has been extended pursuant to the definition of "Scheduled Maturity Date."
The occurrence of an Extension Event will not extend the Risk Period of the Notes.

|
"Mandatory Redemption Event" means any of the Full Mandatory Redemption Event, an Earthquake Mandatory Redemption Event or an Extreme Precipitation Mandatory Redemption Event, as applicable.
Following the occurrence of a Risk Transfer Termination Event (the "Full Mandatory Redemption Event"), the Outstanding Nominal Amount of Notes, i.e., the Full Redemption Amount, will be automatically redeemed in full on the Redemption Amount Payment Date relating to such Full Mandatory Redemption Event (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction and/or Partial Repayment on such date). For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued interest shall also be paid on the Redemption Amount Payment Date relating to the Full Mandatory Redemption Event and no further interest will be paid with respect to the Notes.
|

Following the occurrence of a Reporting Agency Failure Event or an Event Calculation Agent Failure Event under the Earthquake Event Calculation Agent Agreement (each, an "Earthquake Mandatory Redemption Event"), and so long as the Aggregate Prior Earthquake Principal Reductions on the Redemption Amount Payment Date relating to such Earthquake Mandatory Redemption Event is less than the Earthquake Sublimit, an amount of the Outstanding Nominal Amount of Notes equal to the Earthquake Mandatory Redemption Amount will be automatically redeemed on the applicable Redemption Amount Payment Date (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction and/or Partial Repayment on such date). For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued interest shall also be paid on such Redemption Amount Payment Date and no further interest will be paid thereafter with respect to the redeemed Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes. The "Earthquake Mandatory Redemption Amount" on any given day means the lesser of (i) the Outstanding Nominal Amount on such day (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction and/or Partial Repayment on such date) and (ii) the result of (x) the Earthquake Sublimit minus (y) the Aggregate Prior Earthquake Principal Reductions as of such day. For the avoidance of doubt, no more than one (1) Earthquake Mandatory Redemption Amount shall be payable during the term of the Notes.
Following the occurrence of a Reporting Agency Failure Event or an Event Calculation Agent Failure Event under the Extreme Precipitation Event Calculation Agent Agreement (each, an "Extreme Precipitation Mandatory Redemption Event"), and so long as the Extreme Precipitation Principal Reduction has not occurred prior to, and does not occur on, the Redemption Amount Payment Date relating to such Extreme Precipitation Mandatory Redemption Event, an amount of the Outstanding Nominal Amount of Notes equal to the Extreme Precipitation Mandatory Redemption Amount will be automatically redeemed on the applicable Redemption Amount Payment Date (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction and/or Partial Repayment on such date). For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued interest shall also be paid on such Redemption Amount Payment Date and no further interest will be paid thereafter with respect to the redeemed Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes. The "Extreme Precipitation Mandatory Redemption Amount" on any given day means the lesser of (i) the Outstanding Nominal Amount on such day (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction and/or Partial Repayment on such date) and (ii) the Extreme Precipitation Sublimit.

(b) in respect of Extreme Precipitation, on each such day starting on the tenth (10th) Business Day of such Event Parameters Acquisition Period, if it cannot obtain a complete set of Event Parameters in respect of the applicable Extreme Precipitation Date or any Extreme Precipitation Location from the Primary Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency, it will attempt to obtain such unavailable Event Parameters only (and not such Event Parameters that are available from the Primary Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency), in accordance with the process specified in the Extreme Precipitation Event Calculation Agent Agreement, from the Back-up Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency,
until it successfully obtains such Event Parameters. Additionally, during such Event Parameters Acquisition Period, the applicable Event Calculation Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to identify a replacement Reporting Agency that is reasonably satisfactory to, and unaffiliated with, ADB. If, during the Event Parameters Acquisition Period, the applicable Event Calculation Agent has not obtained such Event Parameters from such Primary Reporting Agency or a Back-up Reporting Agency pursuant to the procedures specified above, then (x) if it has identified a replacement Reporting Agency during such Event Parameters Acquisition Period, it will use the data provided by such replacement Reporting Agency to provide the applicable Event Report and such replacement Reporting Agency will thereafter be an Earthquake Reporting Agency or Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency, as applicable (and will be appended as the last entity in the order of priority in the definition thereof) or (y) if it has not identified a replacement Reporting Agency during such Event Parameters Acquisition Period (a "Reporting Agency Failure"), it will give written notice to ADB (with a copy thereof to the other Event Calculation Agent, the Country and the Global Agent) stating that a Reporting Agency Failure has occurred with respect to the Notes.

The epicenter location, magnitude and depth parameters of the historical Earthquake Events shown in the table are based on GEM's historical earthquake analysis for Central Asia from 1885 - 2025, using source data selected in accordance with a defined source hierarchy and event-specific expert judgment. For Earthquake Events occurring from 2008 to 2025, GEM generally relied on the Primary Reporting Agency; for Earthquake Events occurring from 1904 to 2008, GEM generally relied on the ISC-GEM Catalogue v12.1; and for Earthquake Events occurring prior to 1904, GEM relied on recent published studies where available and otherwise on the GEM Global Historical Earthquake Catalogue, in each case subject to event-specific expert judgment if deemed necessary. It is reasonable to conclude that the further back in time an Earthquake Event took place, there is potential for increased uncertainty in the parameters reported and used for this analysis.
|
|
|
(2) |
GEM is unaware of any additional events that would have triggered the Notes in the period covered by the historical earthquake analysis.
|
|
|
(3) |
In compiling the historical Earthquake parameters used for this analysis, GEM may use information from multiple datasets, catalogues and published studies for a historical event which may differ from the results reported by the Primary Reporting Agency with respect to such historical Earthquake.

Temperature influence
|
|
|
1. |
For each day, the daily mean 2-metre air temperature is first calculated at each grid cell from hourly ERA5 data.
|
|
|
2. |
A single country-level daily mean temperature is then derived as the simple arithmetic mean across all cells within the Extreme Precipitation Covered Area.
|
|
|
3. |
Rolling 21-day temperature statistics are then computed from this country-level daily mean temperature series, and the resulting values are applied uniformly to all grid cells for that country on the relevant date.

The contingency calculation applies the same ERA5 November to March seasonal normalized snow factor derived from available ERA5 climatology if such value was previously derived from the ERA5 data for the applicable season. In the event that ERA5 November to March seasonal snowfall data are unavailable for the applicable season, an average normalised seasonal snow value of 0.7345 is applied. This value is calculated as the mean normalised November to March snowfall across the historical record, excluding the incomplete 1980 season, and is used to preserve methodological continuity until season-specific data become available.

Maturity Date or Redemption Month (Condition 6(a)):
|
"Maturity Date" means the later of the Scheduled Maturity Date and the latest Extended Maturity Date, if any.
"Scheduled Maturity Date" means 30 May 2029 subject to one or more earlier Mandatory Redemption Events; provided, however, that if (i) an Extension Notice has been delivered by ADB to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the Event Calculation Agents and the Country) on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date or (ii) (A) a Notice of Applicable Event has been delivered on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, and (B) an Event Report with respect thereto has not been received by ADB on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, then the Maturity Date shall be extended beyond the Scheduled Maturity Date automatically to 30 June 2029 (or if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (such period, the "Initial Extension Period"). Thereafter, the Maturity Date shall be further extended automatically to the thirtieth (30th) day of each subsequent month, but no later than 30 July 2029 (or, in each case, if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (each such one (1) month period, an "Additional Extension Period" and, together with the Initial Extension Period, an "Extension Period") unless (i) all Event Reports with respect to potential Applicable Events required to be delivered by the applicable Event Calculation Agent under the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement are received by ADB on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the then-applicable Extended Maturity Date or (ii) ADB elects by written notice given to the Global Agent on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the then-applicable Extended Maturity Date, not to further extend the Maturity Date, in which case the Maturity Date shall be the then-applicable Extended Maturity Date.
If the Outstanding Nominal Amount is reduced to zero (U.S.$0) on any Principal Reduction Date prior to the Maturity Date, then the Notes will be deemed to be finally redeemed on such Principal Reduction Date at a price of zero (U.S.$0), and no further interest will be paid (other than any Residual Interest Amount and any accrued interest then due).
References herein to the "Extended Maturity Date" mean the last day of the then-applicable Extension Period.
"Extension Notice" means a Full Extension Notice or a Partial Extension Notice.
"Full Extension Notice" means a written notice delivered by ADB to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the Event Calculation Agents and the Country) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date (a) stating that such written notice constitutes a Full Extension Notice with respect to the Notes and (b) identifying one or more Applicable Events and/or potential Applicable Events for which the maturity of the Notes is being extended.
"Partial Extension Notice" means a written notice delivered by ADB to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the Event Calculation Agents and the Country) not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable Scheduled Maturity Date or Extended Maturity Date (a) stating that such written notice constitutes a Partial Extension Notice with respect to the Notes, (b) identifying one or more Applicable Events and/or potential Applicable Events for which the maturity of the Notes is being extended and (c) specifying the portion of the Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes to be partially repaid (the "Repayment Amount") with respect to such Partial Extension Notice.
|
|
|
If ADB delivers a Partial Extension Notice, then on the Scheduled Maturity Date or an Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, immediately following the date on which ADB delivers a Partial Extension Notice with respect to the Notes:
(1) the Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes shall be reduced by the Repayment Amount specified in such Partial Extension Notice (the "Partial Repayment"); provided, that in no event shall a Partial Repayment reduce the Outstanding Nominal Amount to an amount less than zero (U.S.$0); and
(2) in addition to the payment of accrued interest with respect to the Interest Period then ending, the following amount shall be paid with respect to the Notes: the lesser of (a) the Repayment Amount and (b) the Outstanding Nominal Amount calculated as of the Scheduled Maturity Date or relevant Extended Maturity Date, as applicable (after giving effect to any Principal Reduction on such date, but without giving effect to any Partial Repayment on such date).
Any Partial Repayment will be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, more than one Partial Repayment may occur with respect to the Notes, and a Partial Repayment could reduce the Outstanding Nominal Amount of the Notes to zero (U.S.$0).
"Extension Event" means that the maturity of the Notes has been extended pursuant to the definition of "Scheduled Maturity Date". The occurrence of an Extension Event will not extend the Risk Period of the Notes.

ADB shall give written notice to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the Event Calculation Agents and the Country) of any Reporting Agency Failure Event or Event Calculation Agent Failure Event under any Event Calculation Agent Agreement within three (3) Business Days after becoming aware of such Reporting Agency Failure Event or Event Calculation Agent Failure Event (each such notice, together with the notice referred to under the definition of "Risk Transfer Termination Event", a "Mandatory Redemption Notice"). The date on which ADB gives a Mandatory Redemption Notice to the Global Agent is referred to as the "Mandatory Redemption Notice Date" with respect to such Mandatory Redemption Notice.
A "Reporting Agency Failure Event" shall be deemed to occur on the date on which (i) any given Event Calculation Agent gives written notice to ADB or (ii) ADB gives written notice to the applicable Event Calculation Agent (in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), with a copy thereof to the other Event Calculation Agent, the Country and the Global Agent) stating that a Reporting Agency Failure has occurred in accordance with the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement. On the applicable Calculation Date, the applicable Event Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain all of the applicable Event Parameters from the applicable Primary Reporting Agency that are necessary to give an Event Report with respect to the relevant potential Applicable Event. If the applicable Event Calculation Agent determines that it cannot obtain all such Event Parameters from the applicable Primary Reporting Agency on the applicable Calculation Date in accordance with the process specified in the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement (a "Potential Reporting Agency Failure"), the applicable Event Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain such Event Parameters from such Primary Reporting Agency for each Business Day during the applicable Event Parameters Acquisition Period, except that:
(a) in respect of Earthquakes, on each such day, if it cannot obtain such Event Parameters from such Primary Reporting Agency, it will attempt to obtain such Event Parameters, in accordance with the process specified in the Earthquake Event Calculation Agent Agreement, from the applicable Back-up Earthquake Reporting Agency; on any given day, the applicable Back-up Earthquake Reporting Agency will be determined in the order of priority outlined in the definition of "Back-up Earthquake Reporting Agency" beginning at the Back-up Earthquake Reporting Agency (i) and going up to (iii) and then restarting at (i), etc.; for example, if Earthquake Event Parameters are unavailable from the Primary Earthquake Reporting Agency on 1 September, the Earthquake Event Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain such Event Parameters from Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre on 1 September; if Event Parameters are not available from Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre on 1 September, then the Earthquake Event Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain such Event Parameters from United States Geological Survey on 2 September, and so on, and
(b) in respect of Extreme Precipitation, on each such day starting on the tenth (10th) Business Day of such Event Parameters Acquisition Period, if it cannot obtain a complete set of Event Parameters in respect of the applicable Extreme Precipitation Date or any Extreme Precipitation Location from the Primary Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency, it will attempt to obtain such unavailable Event Parameters only (and not such Event Parameters that are available from the Primary Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency), in accordance with the process specified in the Extreme Precipitation Event Calculation Agent Agreement, from the Back-up Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency,
|
|
until it successfully obtains such Event Parameters. Additionally, during such Event Parameters Acquisition Period, the applicable Event Calculation Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to identify a replacement Reporting Agency that is reasonably satisfactory to, and unaffiliated with, ADB. If, during the Event Parameters Acquisition Period, the applicable Event Calculation Agent has not obtained such Event Parameters from such Primary Reporting Agency or a Back-up Reporting Agency pursuant to the procedures specified above, then (x) if it has identified a replacement Reporting Agency during such Event Parameters Acquisition Period, it will use the data provided by such replacement Reporting Agency to provide the applicable Event Report and such replacement Reporting Agency will thereafter be an Earthquake Reporting Agency or Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency, as applicable (and will be appended as the last entity in the order of priority in the definition thereof) or (y) if it has not identified a replacement Reporting Agency during such Event Parameters Acquisition Period (a "Reporting Agency Failure"), it will give written notice to ADB (with a copy thereof to the other Event Calculation Agent, the Country and the Global Agent) stating that a Reporting Agency Failure has occurred with respect to the Notes.
"Event Parameters Acquisition Period" means the thirty (30) Business Days' period beginning on the first (1st) Business Day following the applicable Calculation Date, which period may be extended from time to time, in increments of not less than five (5) Business Days, by written notice ("Event Parameters Acquisition Period Extension Notice") from ADB to the applicable Event Calculation Agent (with a copy thereof to the other Event Calculation Agent, the Global Agent and the Country) delivered prior to the expiration of such period, and which in any event will not extend past the earlier of (i) the day on which such Event Calculation Agent is able to obtain all of the applicable Event Parameters and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the applicable Maturity Date.
"Calculation Date" means an Earthquake Calculation Date or an Extreme Precipitation Calculation Date, as applicable.
"Earthquake Calculation Date" means, with respect to a potential Earthquake Event, the later of (x) the first (1st) Business Day following the day on which a Notice of Applicable Event is delivered in respect of the relevant Earthquake and (y) the first (1st) Business Day at least fourteen (14) calendar days after the Date of Occurrence of such Earthquake as reported by the Primary Earthquake Reporting Agency. If the Primary Earthquake Reporting Agency has not specified a Date of Occurrence by the first (1st) Business Day at least fourteen (14) calendar days after the date that the Earthquake Event Calculation Agent believes, in its reasonable judgment, was the date on which the relevant Earthquake occurred (such Business Day, the "Deemed Earthquake Calculation Date"), such Deemed Earthquake Calculation Date will be the Earthquake Calculation Date determined pursuant to clause (y) above.

|
"Extreme Precipitation Calculation Date" means the earlier of (i) the first calendar day on which the Extreme Precipitation Event Calculation Agent retrieves a complete set of Extreme Precipitation Event Parameters from the Primary Extreme Precipitation Reporting Agency for the applicable Extreme Precipitation Date and for all Extreme Precipitation Locations and (ii) the fifth (5th) calendar day after each Extreme Precipitation Date.
"Extreme Precipitation Date" means any given calendar day occurring (i) on or subsequent to the twentieth (20th) day immediately following the first day of the Risk Period and (ii) on or prior to the later of (a) the last day of the Risk Period and (b) the last day of an Extreme Precipitation Event Period which started during the Risk Period and ends thereafter, if any.
An "Event Calculation Agent Failure Event" shall be deemed to occur on the date on which ADB has become aware that any given Event Calculation Agent has become incapable of performing or has failed to perform or to observe in any material respect, or otherwise commits a material breach of, any provision of the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement, and such failure or breach has not been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of ADB during the period specified in the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement (a "Potential Event Calculation Agent Failure"), and ADB, after using its reasonable best efforts, has been unable to engage a replacement event calculation agent to perform such duties and obligations that is reasonably satisfactory to, and unaffiliated with, ADB and meets the requirements of the applicable Event Calculation Agent Agreement, within forty-five (45) calendar days after such Potential Event Calculation Agent Failure, which period may be extended from time to time, in increments of not less than five (5) Business Days, by written notice from ADB to the Event Calculation Agent to which such Potential Event Calculation Agent Failure relates (with a copy thereof to the other Event Calculation Agent, the Country and the Global Agent) delivered prior to the expiration of such period, and which in any event will not extend past the tenth (10th) Business Day prior to the applicable Maturity Date. ADB shall give written notice to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the other Event Calculation Agent and the Country) an Event Calculation Agent Failure Event within three (3) Business Days after becoming aware thereof.
A "Risk Transfer Termination Event" shall occur if: (i) ADB receives written notice from the Country electing to terminate the Risk Transfer Agreement based on a "Change of Law" (as defined in the Risk Transfer Agreement) to which the Country is the affected party or a "Risk Transfer Termination Event" (as defined in the Risk Transfer Agreement) with respect to ADB; or (ii) ADB elects to terminate the Risk Transfer Agreement based on a "Change of Law" (as defined in the Risk Transfer Agreement) to which ADB is the affected party or a "Risk Transfer Termination Event" (as defined in the Risk Transfer Agreement) with respect to the Country, in each case by giving written notice of a Mandatory Redemption Event to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the Event Calculation Agents and the Country). ADB shall give written notice to the Global Agent (with a copy thereof to the Event Calculation Agents and the Country) of any Risk Transfer Termination Event no later than three (3) Business Days following such Risk Transfer Termination Event.
|
|
The "Risk Transfer Agreement" shall mean the Risk Transfer Agreement dated on or prior to the Issue Date, entered into between the Country and ADB (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time), pursuant to which a payment of a premium will be required of the Country to ADB on the Issue Date. An amount equal to such premium payment will be made available to the Country pursuant to the DRB Grant Agreement, the proceeds of which will be applied by the Country to its payment of the premium on the Issue Date as required under the Risk Transfer Agreement. The Risk Transfer Agreement is subject to early termination based on specified events relating to changes of law and defaults by the Country or ADB, and such an early termination would result in redemption of the Notes.
The "Country" is the Kyrgyz Republic.

The Purchaser has had access to such financial and other information concerning ADB and the Notes as it has deemed necessary in connection with its decision to purchase the Notes. The Purchaser (i) has been given the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from ADB concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Notes and other matters pertaining to an investment in the Notes, (ii) has been given the opportunity to request and review such additional information necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of a purchase of the Notes and to verify the accuracy of or to supplement the information contained in this Prospectus Supplement to the extent ADB possesses such information and (iii) has received all documents and information reasonably necessary to make an investment decision, subject to contractual restrictions on ADB's ability to disclose confidential information. The Purchaser understands the terms, conditions and risks of the Notes and that the Notes involve a high degree of risk as described in this Prospectus Supplement, including possible loss of the Purchaser's entire investment. The Purchaser has not relied upon any advice or recommendation of ADB, the Initial Purchaser, the Sole Structuring Agent, GEM, any Event Calculation Agent or any of their respective affiliates, and is making its own investment decision based upon its own judgment and upon the advice of such professional advisors, either employed or independently retained by the Purchaser, as it has deemed necessary to consult. It has not relied on any other version of this Prospectus Supplement other than the final version thereof in making its investment decision with respect to the Notes. The Purchaser acknowledges that no person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations concerning ADB or the Notes other than those contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and, if given or made, such other information or representations have not been relied upon. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed this Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the section "Additional Risk Factors" and the legends in the forward part of this Prospectus Supplement. The Purchaser has determined that it has the legal power, authority and right to purchase the Notes. The Purchaser understands that there is no assurance that a secondary market for the Notes will develop, the fair market value of the Notes may reflect a substantial discount from the Purchaser's initial investment and substantial volatility in light of certain events, and that the Notes may trade at a value other than that which may be inferred from the current levels of interest rates, due to other factors including, but not limited to, expectations of the future levels of interest rates and the occurrence of certain Applicable Events.
