______________________
(*) How the Minimum Floored works?
Minimum Floored for 5 years is linked to the Euribor 6 months Index. A Premium is deducted from the clients commercial spread, as defined by the risk of the operation. The underlying Euribor 6m is the simple average of the Euribor 6 months announced during the previous month, on an act/360 day count basis rounded to three decimal places. The underlying Euribor 6m interest rate is reset every semester.
If the underlying rate is below the Strike on the reset date, Minimum Floored for 5 years assumes the Strike as the underlying rate until the next reset date, when conditions are observed again.
At the end of the 5 years period, if neither a new term for Minimum floored or a fixed rate is negotiated the Variable rate indexed will be applied, plus a defined spread.
