ANNEX D
Page 1 of 3
ANTI-CORRUPTION GUIDELINES FOR IFC TRANSACTIONS
The purpose of these Guidelines is to clarify the meaning of the terms “Corrupt Practices”, “Fraudulent Practices”, “Coercive Practices”, “Collusive Practices” and “Obstructive Practices” in the context of IFC operations.
1.   Corrupt Practices
A “Corrupt Practice” is the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting, directly or indirectly, of anything of value to influence improperly the actions of another party.
     Interpretation
  A.   Corrupt practices are understood as kickbacks and bribery. The conduct in question must involve the use of improper means (such as bribery) to violate or derogate a duty owed by the recipient in order for the payor to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. Antitrust, securities and other violations of law that are not of this nature are excluded from the definition of corrupt practices.
 
  B.   It is acknowledged that foreign investment agreements, concessions and other types of contracts commonly require investors to make contributions for bona fide social development purposes or to provide funding for infrastructure unrelated to the project. Similarly, investors are often required or expected to make contributions to bona fide local charities. These practices are not viewed as Corrupt Practices for purposes of these definitions, so long as they are permitted under local law and fully disclosed in the payor’s books and records. Similarly, an investor will not be held liable for corrupt or fraudulent practices committed by entities that administer bona fide social development funds or charitable contributions.
 
  C.   In the context of conduct between private parties, the offering, giving, receiving or soliciting of corporate hospitality and gifts that are customary by internationally-accepted industry standards shall not constitute corrupt practices unless the action violates applicable law.
 
  D.   Payment by private sector persons of the reasonable travel and entertainment expenses of public officials that are consistent with existing practice under relevant law and international conventions will not be viewed as Corrupt Practices.
 
  E.   The World Bank Group does not condone facilitation payments. For the purposes of implementation, the interpretation of “Corrupt Practices” relating to facilitation payments will take into account relevant law and international conventions pertaining to corruption.
2.   Fraudulent Practices
A “Fraudulent Practice” is any action or omission, including misrepresentation, that knowingly or recklessly misleads, or attempts to mislead, a party to obtain a financial benefit or to avoid an obligation.
     Interpretation


 

- 7 -

  A.   An action, omission, or misrepresentation will be regarded as made recklessly if it is made with reckless indifference as to whether it is true or false. Mere inaccuracy in such information, committed through simple negligence, is not enough to constitute a “Fraudulent Practice” for purposes of this Agreement.
 
  B.   Fraudulent Practices are intended to cover actions or omissions that are directed to or against a World Bank Group entity. It also covers Fraudulent Practices directed to or against a World Bank Group member country in connection with the award or implementation of a government contract or concession in a project financed by the World Bank Group. Frauds on other third parties are not condoned but are not specifically sanctioned in IFC, MIGA, or PRG operations. Similarly, other illegal behavior is not condoned, but will not be considered as a Fraudulent Practice for purposes of this Agreement.
3.   Coercive Practices
A “Coercive Practice” is impairing or harming, or threatening to impair or harm, directly or indirectly, any party or the property of the party to influence improperly the actions of a party.
     Interpretation
  A.   Coercive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.
 
  B.   Coercive Practices are threatened or actual illegal actions such as personal injury or abduction, damage to property, or injury to legally recognizable interests, in order to obtain an undue advantage or to avoid an obligation. It is not intended to cover hard bargaining, the exercise of legal or contractual remedies or litigation.
4.   Collusive Practices
A “Collusive Practice” is an arrangement between two or more parties designed to achieve an improper purpose, including to influence improperly the actions of another party.
    Interpretation
 
    Collusive Practices are actions undertaken for the purpose of bid rigging or in connection with public procurement or government contracting or in furtherance of a Corrupt Practice or a Fraudulent Practice.
 
5.   Obstructive Practices
An “Obstructive Practice” is (i) deliberately destroying, falsifying, altering or concealing of evidence material to the investigation or making of false statements to investigators, in order to materially impede a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice, and/or threatening, harassing or intimidating any party to prevent it from disclosing its knowledge of matters relevant to the investigation or from pursuing the investigation, or (ii) acts intended to materially impede the exercise of IFC’s access to contractually required information in connection with a World Bank Group investigation into allegations of a corrupt, fraudulent, coercive or collusive practice .
     Interpretation


 

- 8 -

    Any action legally or otherwise properly taken by a party to maintain or preserve its regulatory, legal or constitutional rights such as the attorney-client privilege, regardless of whether such action had the effect of impeding an investigation, does not constitute an Obstructive Practice.
    General Interpretation
    A person should not be liable for actions taken by unrelated third parties unless the first party participated in the prohibited act in question.

ANNEX AA
METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINATION OF THE BASE FIXED RATE FOR EACH
LOAN DISBURSEMENT
(See Section 2.03 of the Loan Agreement)
Section (A) Methodology for Determination of the Base Fixed Rate
The Base Fixed Rate for each Disbursement is the weighted average of the swap rates for all maturities in that Disbursement, determined as follows (see also attached example of calculation):
1.   The amount of each Disbursement is first allocated for repayment in amounts on each of the maturity dates specified in the repayment schedule appearing in Section 2.06 (b) (Repayment) (each such amount, an “Installment”). The amount of each Disbursement is first allocated for repayment pro rata to the amounts appearing opposite each of those maturity dates
 
2.   Each Installment therefore has a tenor (a “Tenor”) equal to the period commencing from the date of the relevant Disbursement to the date on which such Installment has been allocated for repayment.
 
3.   On the Interest Rate Setting Date for the relevant Disbursement, IFC determines the fixed rate swap equivalent for each Installment (a “Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent”), i.e., the fixed interest rate payable in the swap market against receipt of interest at LIBOR, in respect of a specified maturity matching the Tenor of that Installment. For the purposes of this Annex AA:
 
    (a) “LIBOR” means the British Bankers’ Association London interbank offered rate for deposits in the Loan Currency;
 
    (b) the swap market information used to determine the Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent for each Installment is obtained from the Telerate rate fixing page for the Loan Currency (currently page 42276), on the Interest Rate Setting Date; and if that information cannot be obtained from the Telerate Service, IFC shall obtain that information from the relevant rate-fixing page available on the Reuters Service or, if not available, on the Bloomberg Financial Markets Service;
 
    (c) if all the services referred to in the preceding paragraph cease to be available, or if none of them contains the necessary swap market information, whether on the relevant Interest Rate Setting Date or generally, then IFC will determine the Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent for each Installment:


 

- 129 -

ANNEX AA
  (i)   to the extent available, from a live screen of a financial markets information provider that IFC, in its reasonable opinion, considers appropriate, the information to be obtained on the Interest Rate Setting Date as of 11:00 a.m., New York time; or
 
  (ii)   using whatever equivalent reasonable means of calculation that IFC, in its reasonable opinion, considers appropriate; and
(d) swap market rates shall be interpolated on a straight-line basis so as to match the actual Tenor of each Installment.
4.   The Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent for each Installment is then allocated a weight based on the Tenor and amount of that Installment (a “Weight”). Each such Weight is expressed as a percentage, i.e., the percentage which the product of the amount of an Installment times its Tenor represents of the sum of all those products calculated for all the Installments in the relevant Disbursement.
 
5.   Each Weight so determined is then multiplied by its corresponding Fixed Rate Swap Equivalent and the products so obtained for all Installments are added together to obtain the weighted average swap rate (the “Weighted Average Swap Rate”).
 
6.   The Weighted Average Swap Rate for the relevant Disbursement is then converted to the rate basis used for the Loan (i.e., actual number of days/360) and rounded up to the nearest two decimal places to produce the Base Fixed Rate for that Disbursement.

ANNEX BB
METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATION OF THE REDEPLOYMENT COSTS
Section (A) Methodology for Calculation of the Redeployment Cost
1.   The redeployment cost equals the amount in excess of zero, if any, obtained by deducting (x) the Present Value of the Available Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid from (y) the Present Value of the Original Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid.
 
2.   For the purpose of this Section:
  (a)   the “Original Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid” means the aggregate amount of interest originally scheduled to be paid on the principal amount to be prepaid from the date of prepayment until the final maturity date of the Loan, calculated at the Loan Base Fixed Rate. If the relevant prepayment occurs before the Loan Consolidation Date, the applicable interest rate shall be the weighted average of all Disbursement Base Fixed Rates then in effect, calculated using the methodology set forth in Section 3.03(f) (Interest);
 
  (b)   the “Available Base Rate Cash Flows of the amount to be prepaid” means the aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued, from the date of prepayment until the final maturity date of the Loan, on the respective principal amount to be prepaid had such amount been disbursed on the prepayment date, calculated at an interest rate equal to the Prepayment Base Fixed Rate applicable to such hypothetical disbursement, determined two (2) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment in accordance with Annex C, Section (A); and
 
  (c)   the “Present Value” of the relevant Base Rate Cash Flows is the value of the Original Base Rate Cash Flows or, as the case may be, the Available Base Rate Cash Flows discounted back to the date of prepayment from each of the relevant Interest Payment Dates at a discount rate equal to the Prepayment Base Fixed Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

3. The determination by IFC of the redeployment cost shall be final and conclusive and bind the Borrower (unless the Borrower shows to IFC’s satisfaction that the determination involves manifest error).

Calculation of the Redeployment Cost on Prepayment of $15,000,000
Prepayment Date: 15 February, 1998
Same repayment schedule as in example in Section (A) of Annex C
Step 1. Determine Base Fixed Rate for a hypothetical Disbursement of principal amount to be prepaid (i.e., $15,000,000) as of prepayment date (15 February, 1998).
Step 2. Calculate Available Base Rate Cash Flows at an interest rate equal to the Prepayment Base Fixed Rate.
Step 3. Calculate the Original Base Rate Cash Flows using the Loan Base Fixed Rate.
Step 4. Calculate Present Value of each income stream.
Step 5. Subtract the Present Value of the Available Base Rate Cash Flows from the Present Value of the Original Base Rate Cash Flows. The result, if in excess of zero, is the redeployment cost.
