In terms of article 12 (a) of the Prospectus, all applications received from new eligible applicants known as Category A applicants will be satisfied and allocated in full. The remaining amount available for allocation will be allotted among Category ‘B’ applicants who already hold a 62+ Malta Government Savings Bond/s issued in previous years; these will be allotted in accordance with an allocation policy to be announced by the Accountant General in due course.
The details of the allotment policy in respect of Category ‘B’ applicants will be communicated through a Press Release and published on the Treasury’s website immediately after the vetting of applications for compliance with the provisions of the Prospectus is finalised.
Refunds of unallocated monies will be effected before the issue of relevant Registration Advice from the Malta Stock Exchange will be paid by credit transfer through the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) scheme in the International Bank Account Number (IBAN) indicated in the application form.
