4finance S.A.
USD 325,000,000 10.75% Senior Notes due 2022
Issue Price: 100% plus accrued interest, if any, from the Issue Date.
4finance S.A. (the "Issuer"), a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated and existing under the
laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("Luxembourg"), is offering USD 325 million aggregate principal amount of its
10.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "Notes," and such offering, the "Offering"). The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes
semi-annually in arrears on May 1, and November 1, of each year commencing on November 1, 2017. Unless previously
redeemed or repurchased and cancelled as described under "Description of Notes," the Notes will mature on May 1, 2022 (the
"Maturity Date").
The Notes constitute senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will rank pari passu in right of payment to all of the
Issuer's existing and future unsecured indebtedness and senior to all of the Issuer's subordinated indebtedness, if any. The
Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of the Issuer's
non-guarantor subsidiaries. The due and punctual payment of all amounts due at any time on or in respect of the Notes will be
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed on a joint and several basis by 4finance Holding S.A. ("Holdco"), the Issuer's
indirect parent company, and by certain other direct and indirect subsidiaries of Holdco, including the Issuer's direct parent
company (the "Subsidiary Guarantors" and together with the Holdco, the "Guarantors" and each a "Guarantor") under
the terms and conditions set forth herein (collectively, the "Guarantees" and each a "Guarantee").
Payments on the Notes will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any withholding taxes
imposed by Luxembourg, and payments on each Guarantee will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account
of any withholding taxes imposed by the jurisdiction of incorporation of the relevant Guarantor, to the extent described in
"Description of Notes" herein. In certain limited circumstances under current Luxembourg tax law and the current tax laws of
certain of the Guarantors' jurisdictions as more fully described in "Risk Factors" and "Taxation" in this offering
memorandum (the "Offering Memorandum"), withholding tax on interest payments to certain types of investors may apply.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Issuer and the Guarantors, as applicable, will undertake to pay such additional amounts as
will result in the receipt by holders of Notes ("Noteholders") of such amounts as would have been received by them if no
such withholding had been required.
At any time prior to May 1, 2019, the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to
100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus the applicable "make-whole" premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date. On or after May 1, 2019, the Issuer may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at the redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) as described in the "Description of Notes" herein. At any time prior to May 1,
2019, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes using the net cash proceeds from
certain equity offerings at a price equal to 110.75% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest,
provided that at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately
after the occurrence of such redemption. Upon events constituting a Change of Control (as defined in "Description of Notes"),
the Issuer may be required to redeem the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Investing in the Notes involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 22.
The Notes and the Guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. person (as such terms are defined in
Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act ("Regulation S")), except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a
transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. See "Transfer Restrictions" and
"Plan of Distribution" for additional information about eligible offerees and transfer restrictions.
There is currently no public market for the Notes. Application has been made to the Irish Stock Exchange for the approval of
this Offering Memorandum as Listing Particulars and for the Notes to be admitted to the Official List and trading on the Global
Exchange Market (the "GEM") which is the exchange regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange (the "ISE").The GEM is not a
regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial
instruments. There can be no assurance, however, that the listing application will be approved by the ISE.
The Notes will be represented on issue by one or more Global Notes (as defined herein), which the Lead Manager
expects will be delivered through Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme,
Luxembourg ("Clearstream") and their participants, on or about April 28, 2017 (the "Issue Date"). The Notes will be cleared
through Euroclear and Clearstream and will not be eligible for clearance through The Depository Trust Company. The Notes
can only be held through Euroclear or Clearstream accounts. See "Book-entry, Delivery and Form."

contemplated in this Offering Memorandum.
In relation to each member state of the EEA that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a
"Relevant Member State"), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is
implemented in that Relevant Member State (the "Relevant Implementation Date"), an offer to the public of
any Notes which are the subject of the Offering may not be made in that Relevant Member State, except that an
offer to the public in that Relevant Member State may be made at any time with effect from and including the
Relevant Implementation Date under the following exemptions under the Prospectus Directive:
(a) to any legal entity that is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;
(b) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus
Directive) per Relevant Member State; or
(c) in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,
provided that no such offer of the Notes shall require us or the Lead Manager or the Co-Manager to publish a
prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an "offer to the public" in relation to the Notes in any
Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the
terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for
the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the
Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive
2003/71/EC (and any amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent
implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measures in each Relevant
Member State and the expression "2010 PD Amending Directive" means Directive 2010/73/EU.
This EEA selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out in this Offering
Memorandum.
Each subscriber for, or purchaser of, the Notes in the Offering located within a member state of the EEA
will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a "qualified investor" within the meaning
of Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive. The Issuer, the Lead Manager and the Co-Manager and their
respective affiliates, and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation,
acknowledgment and agreement.

sold in the Federal Republic of Germany only in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Prospectus Act

Offering Memorandum and any other offering material in relation to the Notes is directed only at, persons who
are qualified investors (qualifizierte Anleger) within the meaning of Section 2 No. 6 of the German Securities
Prospectus Act. Any resale of the Notes in Germany may only be made in accordance with the German Securities
