Executive summary

An innovative platform
Over the last few years, the rules for lending on properties have changed, and the importance of the risk factor for the
financial institutions has been declining. If a potential lender does not fit in the given checklist, the loan application is
rejected irrespective of the personal guarantee offered by the borrower.
To bring about a change in this system, Purple24 is a platform where low-risk borrowers are able to get a loan if they
fulfill basic requirements.
On the platform, loans are issued up to 75 % of the value of the property. Since borrowing is done directly from the
lender, there is a minimum margin between the interest paid to and the interest received by the lender.
Why Purple24
1. As a borrower you can make your property liquid and use to multiply your business further.
2. In case you have existing property that is frozen in your company assets, you can get a loan against it and use
that money to expand your work.
3. If your property has a good rental income, getting a loan can help diversify your portfolio and boost your return on
equity.
4. Creating a pension through a Purple24 loan is also an option.

Floating or fixed interest
Loans on the Purple24 platform are in principle for a period of 5 years. You can choose between a fixed interest and a
floating interest rate.
A Purple24 floating interest rate is the market rate of Dutch government bonds, which is the base-rate and increased
with a fixed mark-up, as agreed in the loan-contract.
Base-interest rate
The historic base-rate for Purple24 loans so far:
2nd quarter 2015: 0.014 %
3rd quarter 2015: 0.155 %
4th quarter 2015: 0.069 %
Calculation of the base- interest rate
The average effective interest rate of 5‑year Dutch government bonds during the first five trading days of the month
before a quarter starts, will be the base-rate for the floating rate of the next quarter. The source for this information is
the website www.iex.nl.
For example:
The effective interest rate of 5‑year Dutch government bonds during the first 5 trading days of September 2015 was:
1st September: 0.113 %
2nd September: 0.114 %
3rd September: 0.059 %
4th September: 0.035 %
7th September: 0.022 %
The average interest rate during those 5 days was 0.069 %. So this is the base-rate for floating interest rate loans of
Purple24 during the 4th quarter of 2015.
Calculation of final interest
In case the mark-up of the floating interest is 4.5%, the final rate to be paid to the lender is:
2nd quarter 2015: 0.014% + 4.5% = 4.514%
3rd quarter 2015: 0.155% + 4.5% = 4.655%
4th quarter 2015: 0.069% + 4.5% = 4.569%

Safe refinancing
Purple24 loans are market based for a loan period of 5 years with a 30‑month flexibility.
• Between 4.5 and 5 years, you can refinance without any additional interest charges or penalties.
• In case you do not succeed in refinancing within 6 months (starting at 4.5 years), you can extend your loans up to 6
years, or even 7 years, with a small additional interest fee.
• You are free to refinance anywhere else without any fines.
• If you cannot refinance within the 30‑month window, you are in default and Purple24 must take action to call in your
guarantees.
Purple24 gives such various options for period for refinancing, because refinancing is very important.
Redemption
Purple24 offers flexibility for redemption of loans
1. If the property is sold before the maturity date, the loan amount must be redeemed.
2. An optional 10 % redemption per calendar year without any fine (this can be done at any time that is suitable for
you as a borrower).
3. Over 10 % redemption per year is also available with a fine of 1 % in case of a floating interest rate and 5 % in case
of a fixed interest rate.
4. Between 4.5 years and 5 years, redemption is available without any fine.
5. If you want to borrow the amount redeemed earlier, it is possible on the platform as long as there is a lender for the
same.

6. Claim grounds
The lender can claim your guarantees if you are more than 3 months late with the interest, repayments or other pay-
ments. Other claim grounds could be due to incorrect information provided by the borrower, insolvency of the borrower
and seizure of the property.
7. Duties as a borrower
The borrower has certain duties to fulfill towards the lender, and must inform the lender if any of the following situa-
tions arise:
• If there is more than a 90‑day delay in the rental income of the property.
• If there is a vacancy in the rental property for more than 90‑days,
• There is an offering for the sale of the property.
• Any change in the legal status of the borrower.
• In case there is information from the municipalities or other government agencies that can have a negative influence
on the property.
8. Validity
The administration of Purple24 is evidence for all parties, except for evidence of the contrary.
9. Role of Purple24
Purple24 is a neutral platform. For this reason, Purple24 can never take a decision for the lender or the borrower.
Purple24 can follow instructions of lender or borrower, and in this way act on behalf of them, if asked to do so.
10. Dutch mortgage
We use the word ‘mortgage’ for our security right on the properties. Technically, we should name this hypothec, be-
cause there is a difference between the Dutch security rights and common law security rights.
In the common law system, a mortgage gives ownership of the collateral. In case of a default, the holder of the mort-
gage actually gets the property. In the Dutch security system, the hypothec / mortgage, can only be established by a
notary and is recorded in the Dutch central land register. The mortgage gives the right to sell the collateral on a public
auction by a notary, in case of a default. The proceeds of this auction will go on first priority to the lender (s), after
deducting auction related costs.
