ANNEX
NOTICE OF A SIGNIFICANT EVENT AND/OR INSIDE INFORMATION To: Aqueduct European CLO 14 Designated Activity Company (the “Borrower”) We refer to the answer prepared by the European Commission and published on 8 August 2025 in response to Question ID 2021_5851 relating to Regulation (EU) No 2017/2402 (the “Securitisation Regulation”) and the use of conditional sale agreements to season assets by an originator instead of the originator purchasing the assets and then selling the same to a securitisation SPE (the “Q&A Response”). HPS Investment Partners CLO (UK) LLP is acting as collateral manager and retention holder (in such capacity, the “Retention Holder”) in respect of the warehousing transaction of the Borrower (the “Warehouse”). The Retention Holder is aware of the Q&A Response and, whilst it has seasoned assets for the Warehouse using a conditional sale agreement in line with the market practice prevailing prior to the publication of the Q&A Response, it is the Retention Holder’s reasonable belief, noting there may be some uncertainty as to the regulatory interpretation of relevant provisions of the Securitisation Regulation, that it meets the requirements set out in limb (a) of the definition of “originator” in Article 2(3) of the Securitisation Regulation in respect of the Warehouse. In addition, the Retention Holder intends to put in place arrangements pursuant to which the Retention Holder will purchase assets and will sell such assets to the Borrower, conditional on such assets not defaulting during the applicable seasoning period, for the purposes of limb (b) of the definition of “originator” in Article 2(3) of the Securitisation Regulation. This notice and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this notice will be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. No person has been authorised to give information, or to make any representation in connection therewith, other than as contained herein. The delivery of this notice at any time does not imply that the information in it is correct as at any time subsequent to its date.
