AMENDMENT(S) OF SECURITY AND OTHER DOCUMENTATION
The Bank will require to hold the following additional security document(s) and/or other document(s) in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank:
1. | A Standby Documentary Credit for USDl,000,000.- from UBS Switzerland AG. Please arrange with the issuing bank to renew the validity of the Standby Documentary Credit one month before its expiry date. |
2. | A Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount up to USD4,000,000.-) granted by the Borrower(s). The Bank has sole discretion to determine whether and to what extent any charged securities granted in favour of the Bank shall be relied upon when it sets or reviews the limit for the facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, the Bank is not obliged to take into account the value of any charged securities when deciding the limit of the facilities. “Securities” means (i) all stocks, shares, securities, debentures, bonds, notes, options, warrants, funds, unit trusts, certificates of deposit, money market instruments, other equity, debt and financial instruments of any kind, (ii) all dividends, interest, distributions and other moneys derived therefrom and (iii) all accretions, allotments, and other benefits accruing or arising in respect thereof. |
Certain capital in nature instruments such as bonds issued by HSBC and its subsidiaries are excluded from the scope of charged securities.
A charge over the Borrower(s)’s deposit(s) for USD4,000,000.- or its equivalent in other foreign currencies placed with the Bank.
In the event of the value of the foreign currency deposit charged to the Bank falling below the required level and upon the Bank’s request, the Borrower(s) should immediately pledge to the Bank additional security acceptable to the Bank to bring the value back to the threshold.
We attach our standard “Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount)”. Please arrange to sign and return to us the document(s), together with the supporting board resolution(s).
This “Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount)” needs to be registered with the Companies Registry. Please sign and return the “Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount)” within 5 business days of execution. The related registration fee (currently HKD340.- per document) will be charged to the debit of the Borrower(s)’s account.
3. | A Guarantee (Limited Amount) limited to USD2,000,000.- plus default interest and other costs and expenses as further set out in the guarantee from Perfect Moment Limited together with: |
(a) | a certified copy of a Board Resolution, signed sealed by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of Perfect Moment Limited authorising a named person to execute the guarantee. |
(b) | a Certificate of Incumbency signed sealed by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary identifying the individual authorized to issue the guarantee. |
The authorised signatories of Perfect Moment Limited should be duly verified by their bankers. Please also let the Bank have a certified copy of Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Association and List of current directors of Perfect Moment Limited for the Bank’s records.

The legal opinion, together with the properly executed security documents, should be forwarded to the Bank directly by the solicitor.
In consideration of the above mentioned security being made available, the Bank is agreeable to releasing the following security document(s) and other document(s):
4. | Charge over Securities and Deposits (Limited Amount up to USD5,000,000.-) dated 28 May 2023 granted by the Borrower(s) |

5. | A Guarantee (Limited Amount) dated 30 November 2020 limited to USD3,150,000.- plus default interest and other costs and expenses as further set out in the guarantee from Perfect Moment (UK) Limited.
