ISF Ltd. is a bankruptcy-remote, special-purpose vehicle established under Jersey law to issue U.S. dollar-denominated short term notes. These notes are standard, callable, puttable, puttable/callable, and extendible. ISF may also issue standard short-term Euro notes denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Pound Sterling and other approved currencies. The U.S. notes are jointly issued with Institutional Secured Funding LLC, which is a bankruptcy-remote special-purpose vehicle established under Delaware law. ISF may issue up to $20 billion of notes. ISF Ltd. will use the proceeds from the short-term notes issuances to enter into support agreements with major global banks rated at least A-1 and Prime-1 by Standard & Poor's and Moody's, respectively. The short-term notes will have maturities of up to 397 days and the extendible notes can have initial maturities of up to 397 days and final maturities of up to seven years.
