Project Overview

General Information on the Punta Vista Park Project

Q1.1 - What is Punta Vista Park?

Punta Vista Park is a multi-phase real estate development project in Costa Rica, combining residential lots, villas, eco-living units, senior living, and commercial areas within a master condominium of approximately 129 hectares.

Q1.2 - What is the purpose of the Luxembourg bond issue?

The Luxembourg bond issue is intended primarily to finance the infrastructure of the first phase of the project (roads, utilities, water treatment, etc.), which are essential to enhance the value of the land and support progressive sales.

Q1.3 - Is the issuer a single-purpose, insolvency-remote vehicle, or does it carry other activities or risks beyond this project?

The Issuer will be structured as a single-purpose vehicle. Its articles of association and transaction documents will restrict its activities to the issuance of the bonds and related transactions, with no other indebtedness except as expressly permitted under the bond documentation. Standard structural features (limitations on additional debt, no guarantee of third‑party obligations, non‑petition and limited recourse language where appropriate) will be implemented to strengthen its insolvency‑remoteness, subject to Luxembourg counsel input.

Q1.4 - Could you please confirm the exact legal identity of the Luxembourg bond issuer (name, legal form, share capital, shareholders)?

The Luxembourg bond issuer is not a standalone company but a dedicated compartment within an existing Luxembourg securitization platform.

More specifically, the bonds are issued by RE 4 ALL S.A. – Compartment “ADVANCED”, which is a legally segregated compartment within a securitization vehicle operated by Opportunity Financial Services S.A.

Opportunity Financial Services S.A. is a Luxembourg company holding a valid business license (n° 06/18) and operates under the supervision of the CSSF as a professional securitization platform provider.

Each compartment within the platform constitutes a ring-fenced patrimony under Luxembourg securitization law, with assets and liabilities legally segregated from:

other compartments, and the general estate of the platform itself.

The compartment “ADVANCED” is exclusively dedicated to this transaction and is the sole issuer of the bonds related to the project.

As such, the investors’ exposure is strictly limited to the assets and cash flows of the ADVANCED compartment, and not to any other activity of the platform.

Details regarding the share capital and shareholders relate to Opportunity Financial Services S.A., the platform owner, rather than to the compartment itself, as compartments do not have separate legal personality under Luxembourg law but benefit from full statutory segregation.

Land Ownership and Legal Status

Legal Aspects and Documentation

Q2.1 - Can you provide full legal and regulatory documentation for the project?

Yes, comprehensive documentation is available, including the Environmental Feasibility Resolution, municipal land-use zoning approval, water availability confirmation, sanitary sewer discharge permit, stormwater discharge permit, wastewater treatment plant location permit, soil mechanics study, construction drawings and permits, condominium status documentation, and municipal permits.

Q2.2 - Is land title clear and free of liens?

Yes, documentation confirming clear land title and absence of liens will be provided for all parcels used as collateral and for any parcels within the project that have not yet been sold.

Q2.3 - How is ownership structured across the various parcels?

Parcels are either owned by the project developer or by buyers who have already taken possession, depending on the commercial progress of each area.

Q2.4 - What is the total land area?

The project covers approximately 129 hectares, including areas designated for residential, commercial, eco-living, senior living and other uses within the master plan.

Guarantees and Collateral

Security and Guarantees for Investors

Q3.1 - Which Costa Rican real estate assets will be pledged as collateral for the Luxembourg bonds?

Parcels within the project will be pledged as collateral, starting with those located along the public road earmarked for the future commercial zone, followed by additional parcels according to a predefined collateral schedule.

Q3.2 - How will these parcels be valued for collateral purposes?

Parcels will be valued at 66% of their official fiscal value as recorded in the National Registry, which is publicly accessible online.

Q3.3 - Is a first-ranking mortgage on the land feasible and legally enforceable?

Yes, the security package will be structured as a first-ranking mortgage, which is both feasible and legally enforceable under Costa Rican law.

Q3.4 - Are there any other debts or encumbrances that could dilute investor protection?

No, there are no existing liabilities or obligations that could dilute investor protection; all collateral parcels will be free of liens or competing security interests.

Q3.5 - What is the exact contractual and ownership relationship between the Luxembourg issuer and the Costa Rican entities holding the land?

Bond proceeds will be on‑lent or otherwise channelled from the Issuer to the Costa Rican project entities under back‑to‑back funding arrangements. The Costa Rican landholding entities will grant first‑ranking mortgages and other local security interests directly in favour of a security agent or trustee acting for the benefit of the bondholders. The ownership chain between the Issuer, any intermediate holding entities and the Costa Rican SPVs will be clearly documented so that enforcement on the collateral remains as direct and transparent as possible for investors.

Q3.6 - What is the rationale for using 66% of the official fiscal value, rather than an independent market valuation, as the reference for collateral coverage?

The use of 66% of the official fiscal value is intended as a conservative and transparent metric based on a public, auditable reference (National Registry). Official fiscal values tend to lag market prices and are generally below recent transaction levels, so applying a 34% haircut to this already conservative baseline results in a prudent collateral coverage ratio. Independent third‑party appraisals may be commissioned to provide an additional market‑based view, but our intention is not to rely solely on potentially more volatile market valuations for minimum coverage tests.

Q3.7 - Who will be the legal holder of the first-ranking mortgage in Costa Rica (bondholders directly, a security agent, or a trustee)?

The first‑ranking mortgages over Costa Rican land will be granted in favour of a security agent or trustee appointed under the bond documentation. This entity will act on behalf of all bondholders, allowing for coordinated enforcement and avoiding fragmented actions by individual investors.

Q3.8 - What are the estimated enforcement and recovery costs, and how would they be funded?

Enforcement is expected to involve legal fees, court costs, notarial fees and potential brokerage or marketing costs for the sale of the land. We plan to structure the documentation so that such costs can be funded from (i) available cash reserves at the Issuer/project level and/or (ii) proceeds of the collateral realisation, with clear prioritisation of payments (waterfall) to preserve bondholder recovery to the greatest extent possible. More precise ranges will be provided once local counsel has finalised its cost estimates.

Q3.9 - Upon enforcement, would bondholders become direct owners of the land, or would ownership pass through a local SPV or fiduciary structure?

Upon enforcement, the intention is that the pledged parcels will be transferred either (i) directly to the security agent or a dedicated enforcement SPV, to be realised for the benefit of bondholders, or (ii) directly to bondholders on a pro‑rata basis if a more efficient structure under Costa Rican law is confirmed. The final path will be recommended by local counsel so as to balance simplicity, speed of execution and tax efficiency for investors.

Q3.10 - Could you provide a detailed list of the parcels pledged as collateral at closing, including cadastral references, surface, zoning, and individual fiscal values?

Yes. A detailed list of the parcels pledged as collateral will be provided in real time at closing.
This schedule will include, for each pledged parcel:
Official cadastral reference (Registro Nacional),
Surface area,
Zoning classification,
Official fiscal value as recorded with the Costa Rican tax authorities,
Confirmation of ownership and absence of liens at the time of pledge.

The final collateral package will reflect the exact parcels legally available and free of encumbrances at closing, ensuring accuracy and enforceability. All supporting registry certificates and notarial documentation will be made available as part of the closing documentation set.

Cross-Border Enforceability

International Legal Aspects

Q4.1 - How can investors be confident that their rights over Costa Rican assets are enforceable?

Costa Rica has established legal frameworks for granting and enforcing security interests over real estate, so no special or extraordinary structure is currently anticipated to ensure enforcement of bondholder rights over local assets.

Q4.2 - Is a dual-jurisdiction (Luxembourg / Costa Rica) security package envisaged?

At this stage, the structure is based mainly on security interests over Costa Rican assets; any additional dual-jurisdiction structure can be considered with investors' legal advisors during final negotiations.

Independent Valuation

Valuation and Analysis

Q5.1 - Is there an independent (RICS, IVSC or equivalent) valuation of the land and its appreciation potential?

Current valuation is based on the official recorded value from the National Registry, which is publicly accessible and used as a conservative basis for structuring the collateral.

Q5.2 - Are market valuations or future appreciation studies planned?

Additional external expert valuations may be considered as project phases progress, in order to better track the economic value of both the project and the collateral.

Construction Guarantees and Risk Management

Construction Risk Management

Q6.1 - What construction risk-mitigation measures are envisaged?

The developer is open to implementing mechanisms such as fixed-price construction contracts, performance bonds, specific insurance coverage, and phased capital releases, in line with investor expectations.

Q6.2 - Who is responsible for construction and project engineering?

The project is directed by Saxum, a professional development company that oversees planning and construction, while a dedicated construction company carries out the on-site works.

Q6.3 - Is there a detailed infrastructure cost and timeline plan?

Yes, Advanced holds a detailed infrastructure cost and timeline plan, which is used to define the specific milestones governing the release of funds.

Use of Funds and Escrow Account

Financial Management and Control

Q7.1 - Will investor funds be placed in an escrow account?

Yes, investor funds will remain under Advanced's custody and will be released only upon achievement of predefined, externally verified milestones linked to project progress.

Q7.2 - How is the use of bond proceeds controlled?

Use of proceeds is strictly governed by the validated infrastructure plan, the project governance framework, and Advanced's control mechanisms, which condition each disbursement on the achievement of agreed milestones.

Q7.3 - How many months of interest payments are secured in cash at closing, if any?

Our working assumption is to secure at least [6–12] months of interest in the DSRA at or shortly after closing, either through cash prefunding or staged funding linked to drawdowns. The exact level will be finalised with arrangers and investors, taking into account pricing, total issuance size and overall risk profile.

Q7.4 - Are interest payments fully dependent on land sales, or is there a debt service reserve account (DSRA) in place?

Interest payments are not solely dependent on land sales. A debt service reserve mechanism is embedded into the structure.

As funds are progressively raised from investors, a portion of each tranche is retained at the Luxembourg level to constitute a Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA). This reserve is sized to secure interest payments during the initial periods, regardless of the project's commercial cash flow.

This structure ensures that investors benefit from predictable interest servicing, with funds already held in a ring-fenced account in Luxembourg, outside the operational risk perimeter of the project.

Full details on the DSRA allocation and mechanics will be disclosed in the final bond documentation.

Q7.5 - What is the commercial break-even point (number of lots / minimum pricing) required to service interest and infrastructure costs?

Based on conservative assumptions, the commercial break-even thresholds are as follows:

To cover interest payments alone (fully funded via the DSRA):
The sale of less than one standard lot per month is sufficient.

To cover full principal repayment, interest, and operating expenses (over the full maturity):
The project would need to sell approximately:
• 9 premium lots (average price: €282,000), and
• 27 standard lots (average price: €125,000).

These figures are calculated using only 85% of the listed lot values, to allow for pricing flexibility and potential negotiation. They also include a reserve margin for corporate running costs.

A detailed financial model is available upon request and can be shared under confidentiality.

Positioning in the Capital Structure

Financial Structure

Q8.1 - What is the ranking of the Luxembourg bonds?

The bonds are structured as senior secured debt, benefiting from real-estate collateral over Punta Vista Park parcels.

Q8.2 - Are additional debt or capital instruments planned alongside this issuance?

At this stage, the bond is envisaged as the main senior debt instrument; any additional indebtedness would need to respect the senior ranking and protective covenants of existing bondholders.

Revenue, Returns, and Exit Options

Financial Aspects and Liquidity

Q9.1 - What are the project's future revenue sources?

Revenues are expected from pre-sales and sales of residential and commercial lots and, in later phases, from rental income generated by villas, eco-living units, apartments, senior living facilities and other operated components.

Q9.2 - Do you have projections for the revenue timeline?

Detailed revenue projections, including the expected timing of pre-sales and sales per phase, are available in the project's financial report.

Q9.3 - What exit options are available to bondholders?

In addition to standard redemption at maturity, bondholders have the option to convert their holdings into lots within the project, at a conversion rate fixed at the time of investment, subject to the final terms and conditions of the issuance.

Q9.4 - Is a secondary market for the bonds envisaged?

The possibility of arranging a secondary market or some degree of liquidity will be discussed with arrangers and may be addressed in the final bond documentation.

Q9.5 - How exactly is the conversion price into lots determined (fixed price, discount to market, future valuation)?

Our current thinking is that the conversion into lots would be based on a predefined price grid per type of lot, agreed at the time of investment and reflected in the bond terms. This grid may embed a structured discount to an independent market valuation at the time of issuance, so that investors receive an economically attractive entry point in case of conversion. Detailed examples (number of bonds vs. m² or specific lot types) will be provided in a term sheet.

Q9.6 - Are converted lots immediately buildable and transferable?

Lots delivered upon conversion will be individually registrable and transferable, and either (i) immediately buildable or (ii) subject only to standard permitting processes applicable to all buyers in the project. The intention is that bondholders who convert can step into the same position as regular buyers in terms of ownership and development rights.

Q9.7 - Who bears notary fees, taxes, and infrastructure costs in the event of conversion?

Transaction‑related costs (notary fees, transfer taxes, registration costs) will typically be borne by the converting investor, in line with standard Costa Rican practice, while project‑level infrastructure costs will remain embedded in the pricing grid used for conversion. The exact allocation of costs will be clearly described in the conversion mechanics so investors can assess the net economics ex‑ante.

Governance, Reporting, and Transparency

Transparency and Communication

Q10.1 - What is the project's governance framework?

Governance is based on a detailed infrastructure plan submitted to Advanced, which controls disbursements, while Saxum manages development and technical oversight, and a third-party firm (506) manages and certifies accounting.

Q10.2 - Will independent periodic reports be provided to investors?

Yes, Saxum will provide independent quarterly reports to investors, covering financial, legal, and construction progress aspects of the project.

Q10.3 - Who are the main stakeholders and what are their roles?

Saxum acts as the development and project-management company, the construction company executes the works, Advanced safeguards and releases funds based on milestones, and 506 is responsible for third-party accounting and certification.

Q10.4 - Does Advanced act as a pure escrow agent, or does it have discretionary power to block or delay disbursements?

Advanced will act as escrow and monitoring agent, holding investor funds and releasing them only upon satisfaction of predefined conditions. It will have the contractual authority to block or postpone disbursements if milestones, documentation or compliance checks are not met, in accordance with the funding agreement and the monitoring framework. It will not act as a discretionary investment manager but as a control layer protecting the agreed use of proceeds.

Q10.5 - Will quarterly reports include: - remaining collateral value, - lots sold vs. unsold, - available cash, - outstanding senior debt, - updated downside scenarios

Quarterly reporting is intended to include: (i) updated overview of pledged collateral (including any changes to the collateral pool), (ii) lots sold vs. unsold inventory and pipeline, (iii) available cash at project and Issuer level, (iv) outstanding senior debt and other liabilities, and (v) updated downside and stress‑test scenarios compared to the base case. The aim is to provide an investor‑grade dashboard enabling ongoing risk assessment.

Q10.6 - Who independently certifies the achievement of milestones, and how is independence ensured in practice?

Milestones will be defined in measurable terms (e.g. specific infrastructure segments completed, permits obtained, pre‑sales achieved). Their achievement will be certified by independent third parties where appropriate (for example, engineering / technical inspectors for construction milestones, notaries or lawyers for legal milestones, auditors for financial covenants). The names and appointment process for these independent certifiers will be set out in the documentation to ensure that neither the sponsor nor the developer can unilaterally validate their own performance.

Q10.7 - Do bondholders benefit from any collective consent or veto rights on key matters (additional debt, changes to the master plan, asset disposals)?

No, bondholders do not have collective consent or veto rights over matters such as new debt, changes to the master plan, or asset disposals.

This is intentional:
The master plan is a long-term, highly regulated development framework that has already undergone a complex and costly approval process.
Any material change would require multiple government approvals, significant engineering rework, and extended delays—making such adjustments impractical and highly unlikely.

Furthermore, the financing structure protects bondholders through:
Over-collateralization;
A ring-fenced use of proceeds;

And a debt structure that ranks senior and secured, limiting operational risk exposure without requiring active bondholder governance.

Q10.8 - Will investors benefit from a right to an independent annual audit or review?

Yes. Investors will benefit from an independent annual audit or financial review, conducted by a qualified third-party firm.

This has been part of the governance structure from the outset and will be implemented regardless of any specific investor request.
The audit or review will cover the use of proceeds, financial position of the issuer/SPV, and key project metrics. Results will be shared with bondholders as part of the standard reporting package.

This measure reflects our commitment to transparency, accountability, and professional investor communication.

Default and Recovery Process

Default Risk Management

Q11.1 - What happens in the event of non-payment of interest or principal?

In the event of non-payment, bondholders are expected to assume ownership of the pledged parcels and may proceed with their sale in order to recover their claims.

Q11.2 - What are the practical steps and timelines for collateral enforcement?

The legal and operational details of enforcement (procedures, stakeholders, estimated timelines) are being further refined so that investors receive a clear, practical description of the default and recovery pathway before the bond issuance is finalized.

Q11.3 - How is the structure designed to perform if sales are delayed by 12–24 months?

The financial model has been built with downside scenarios in mind, including cases where land sales are delayed by 12 to 24 months. In such events, the structure remains resilient through a combination of:

A Debt Service Reserve Account (DSRA) pre-funded to ensure continuity of interest payments;

Phased infrastructure deployment, minimizing upfront capital expenditure;

Controlled discretionary spending during low-revenue periods.

In parallel, our actual commercial track record provides additional reassurance:

Over the past two years, the developer has consistently sold between 1 and 2 lots per month, without formal marketing or completed infrastructure.
With road and utility works being deployed in the coming months, we expect this absorption rate to accelerate significantly.

Should an extreme delay scenario materialize, the collateral structure and lot conversion mechanism are designed to preserve investor value and enable alternative exit options beyond cash repayment.

Advanced Follow-Up Questions

Additional Questions

Q12.2 - How are ESG (environmental, social and governance) aspects managed?

The project complies with local environmental feasibility requirements, prioritizes appropriate infrastructure solutions, and adopts a structured governance and reporting framework, which together support its environmental and governance dimensions.

Q12.3 - What is the target investor profile for the bonds?

The bonds target qualified and professional investors seeking secured exposure to real assets, with a multi-year investment horizon and appetite for a phased real-estate development project.

Q12.4 - What additional information will be available in the final documentation?

The prospectus and final bond documentation will provide full details on the legal structure, timetable, covenants, default scenarios, reporting policy, financial statements, and relevant market studies.

Q12.5 - What is the exact amount of cash equity invested by the sponsor to date (excluding land valuation)?

As of closing, the sponsor will have contributed approximately 5 860 000 USD of cash equity into the project, in addition to the land contribution. This includes funding of pre‑development costs, permits, early infrastructure works and project management expenses. The intention is to demonstrate meaningful financial alignment, with the sponsor bearing first‑loss risk ahead of bondholders.

Q12.6 - Are any developer or management fees paid before full repayment of the bonds?

No. No developer or management fees will be paid prior to full repayment of the bonds.

This principle is not just a contractual commitment—it reflects the developer’s longstanding practice:
Since the inception of the project, no management, promotion, or developer fees have ever been taken.

All available resources have been—and will continue to be—allocated to land acquisition, infrastructure development, and value creation for future stakeholders, including bondholders.

This alignment of interests is central to our approach and to the credibility of the project.

Q12.7 - Are there step-in rights or protective clauses allowing investors to replace the developer in a severe underperformance scenario?

No, the bond structure does not include formal step-in rights or contractual provisions allowing investors to directly replace the developer.

However, in the event of a severe underperformance scenario or default, investors benefit from a comprehensive security package—including first-ranking mortgages over valuable land parcels.

This means that bondholders (or their appointed representative) would have the legal ability to take possession and control of the pledged real estate assets, enabling them to recover value through direct sale, third-party development, or other strategic options.

This outcome-oriented protection mechanism has been intentionally prioritized over a complex governance structure, to ensure clarity, enforceability, and asset-backed recovery for investors.

Taxation and Currency

Tax and Monetary Aspects

Q13.1 - What is the tax treatment of interest income for investors?

The bond does not apply any withholding tax at the level of the issuer. Investors are responsible for declaring and paying any taxes applicable in their jurisdiction.

Q13.2 - Is the investment exposed to FX risk?

The bond is denominated in dollars (USD). Investors in other currencies may be exposed to exchange rate fluctuations.

Transferability and Listing

Liquidity and Secondary Market

Q14.1 - Can the bonds be transferred or traded?

Bonds may be transferred subject to the terms set in the final documentation. A restricted OTC resale process may be arranged with the assistance of the arranger.

Q14.2 - Will the bonds be listed on a regulated market?

No listing is planned at this stage. The placement is reserved for qualified investors on a private basis.
