Under the Programme, the Company may, subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and directives, from time to time issue notes in series or tranches denominated in US dollars or any other currency (“Notes”) as may be agreed between the Company, AirAsia and the relevant dealer(s).

The Notes issued under the Programme will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by AirAsia and will be offered and sold only outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Notes to be issued under the Programme will be listed on Bursa Malaysia but will not be quoted for trading.
