SIGNING PACKAGE
Dear Christophe,
Please find below the signing package for the above project. To prepare the signing package, kindly follow these steps:
1. Print three copies of each document: (i) Financing Agreement, (ii) Supplemental Letter, and (iii) Disbursement Letter.
Two originals of each document will be signed. (The third copy will be an extra copy just in case something goes
wrong then this extra copy can be used.)
2. Print one copy of the signed transmittal letters. (There are two signed copies of the transmittal letter; one without
"RECEIVED BY" and one with "RECEIVED BY"). You will need to specify the "effectiveness deadline" in each letter.
Note that pursuant to Sections 5.01 of the Financing Agreement, the Effectiveness Deadline is the date
falling 120 calendar days (including weekends and holidays) after the date on which the Financing
Agreement is signed. If the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a weekend or a holiday, then take the next
available working day to fill in the blank space of the transmittal letters.
Here, if the legal documents are signed on April 1, 2015,
the effectiveness deadline will be July 30,
2015. This date should be inserted in para 2 of the transmittal letter. If the date of signing is
changed then please recalculate accordingly.
3.

Guidelines, (iv) Disbursement Guidelines, and (v) Anti-Corruption Guidelines from the links below.

the signing.

Director. Date of signing needs to be inserted on the cover page and on the first line of the first page of the
