The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announces that a tender
of 2-year Exchange Fund Notes will be held on Friday 15 May 2009
for settlement on Monday 18 May 2009.
A total of HK$1,200 million 2-year Notes will be on offer, of
which HK$5 million will be made available for offer to members of
the Public who wish to submit non-competitive tender bids through
Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (HKSCC). If the
amount of Notes reserved for non-competitive tender is
under-subscribed, the non-subscribed amount will be added to the
portion of notes for competitive tender (initially set at HK$1,195
million). The Notes will mature on 18 May 2011 and will carry
interest at the rate of 0.64% per annum payable semi-annually in
arrears.
Members of the public who wish to submit non-competitive tender
applications for Notes that are open to HKSCC may do so through
Stock Exchange Participants/Brokers, or for those who hold Investor
Accounts of the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS) at
the HKSCC, directly through HKSCC, for submission to the HKMA for
processing. Competitive tender applications for the Notes must be
submitted through any of the Eligible Market Makers on the current

Each tender must be for an amount of HK$50,000 or integral
multiples thereof for both competitive and non-competitive
tender.
The tender results will be published on the HKMA's website, the
Reuters screen (HKMAOOE), and Bloomberg. Applicants who submitted

tender results from Stock Exchange Participants/Brokers, or for
