The securities will be allotted in chronological order of receipt of valid subscription applications. For the purposes of the allotment the date and time of receipt of the fax by the Central Bank of the Republic of San Marino shall apply, provided that the fax is confirmed in writing, and that both the fax and the form are received within the placement period.
The placement may be closed earlier and, in any case, once the subscription amount is equal to the aggregate maximum face value of the issue.

The date and time of receipt of the fax transmitted by the Central Bank of the Republic of San Marino shall apply. Failure to receive a notice from the Central Bank of the Republic of San Marino within the deadline specified above, implies that no securities have been allotted.

Settlement of subscription transactions

The settlement of subscription transactions is made by debiting the amount, calculated as the product of the issue price times the face value allotted, with value date 30 December 2013, to the subscription account opened with the paying agent.
