Attentus CDO I Offering Circular - Irish Stock Exchange

Conflicts of Interest Involving the Initial Purchaser. A significant portion of the Collateral Debt
Securities acquired or to be acquired by the Issuer may consist of obligations of issuers, or obligations
sponsored or serviced by companies, for which the Initial Purchaser or an affiliate of the Initial Purchaser
has acted as underwriter, agent, initial purchaser or dealer or for which an affiliate of the Initial Purchaser
has acted as lender or provided other commercial or investment banking services.
With respect to the portfolio of Collateral Debt Securities to be acquired by the Issuer on the
Closing Date, it is expected that the Issuer will acquire substantially all of such Collateral Debt Securities
from CS and/or affiliates thereof, which have acquired Collateral Debt Securities during an accumulation
period prior to the Closing Date. For a discussion of the price at which the Issuer will purchase Collateral
Debt Securities on the Closing Date, see “Risk Factors—Purchase of Collateral Debt Securities.” The
Initial Purchaser and its affiliates may acquire any Offered Notes on or after the Closing Date. The Initial
Purchaser (or its affiliates) may exercise its rights as a holder of an Offered Note without considering any
adverse effect which its actions may have on the other holders of Offered Notes.
The Initial Purchaser and its affiliates may act as placement agent and/or initial purchaser in other
transactions involving issues of collateralized debt obligations or other investment funds with assets
similar to those of the Issuer, which may have an adverse effect on the availability of collateral for the
Issuer.
Projections, Forecasts and Estimates. Any projections, forecasts and estimates contained herein
are forward looking statements and are based upon certain assumptions considered reasonable.
Projections are necessarily speculative in nature, and it can be expected that some or all of the
assumptions underlying the projections will not materialize or will vary significantly from actual results.
Accordingly, the projections are only an estimate. Actual results may vary from the projections, and the
variations may be material.
Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any
forward looking statements include changes in interest rates, market, financial or legal uncertainties, the
timing of acquisitions of Collateral Debt Securities, differences in the actual allocation of the Collateral
Debt Securities among asset categories from those assumed, the timing of acquisitions of the Collateral
Debt Securities, mismatches between the timing of accrual and receipt of Interest Proceeds and Principal
Proceeds from the Collateral Debt Securities (particularly prior to the Ramp-Up Completion Date),
defaults under Collateral Debt Securities, whether or not the Issuer enters into one or more Hedge
Agreements and the effectiveness of such Hedge Agreements, among others. In addition, prior to the
Ramp-Up Completion Date, the Issuer may purchase only those securities specified in the Indenture and,
if the Issuer is unable to effect such purchases in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Issuer
will not be authorized to purchase any additional Collateral Debt Securities. The Indenture also permits
the Issuer, in certain circumstances, to purchase Additional Collateral Debt Securities after the Ramp-Up
Completion Date, and the financial performance of the Issuer may be affected by the price, terms and
availability of Collateral so purchased. Consequently, the inclusion of projections herein should not be
regarded as a representation by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Initial
Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates or any other person or entity of the results that will actually
be achieved by the Issuer.
None of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer, the Collateral Manager, the Trustee, the Initial Purchaser, any
of their respective affiliates or any other person has any obligation to update or otherwise revise any
projections, including any revisions to reflect changes in economic conditions or other circumstances
arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even if the underlying
assumptions do not come to fruition.
