The Company is required to deliver to the trustee, each year, a valuation of, and a report by the auditors on the net annual income from, the charged properties. If such valuation shows the aggregate value of the charged properties is more than one and two-thirds times the nominal value of Bonds outstanding and that the net annual income is not less than the gross annual interest on the Bonds, then the Company may withdraw mortgaged properties provided that these tests continue to be met. If such valuation shows that the aggregate value of the charged properties is less than one and one-half times the nominal value of Bonds outstanding or that the net annual income is less than the gross annual interest on the Bonds, the Company is obliged to provide additional security so that these tests are met. The company has the right to substitute properties of equal value and income in the security pool. The debentures benefit from a combined collateral pool valued at £1,802,100,000, comprised of £1,802,100,000 of properties valued by the Company's Valuers Knight Frank, at Wednesday, September 30, 2015 with a net annual income, certified by the auditors, of £80,039,602.
