NOTICE REGARDING THE TRANSFER OF CLAIMS AGAINST CUBA
CERTIFIED BY THE FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION


The Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.P.R. Part 515 (the "Regulations"), which are administered by OFAC, prohibit all persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction from dealing in property in which Cuba or a Cuban national has or has had an interest, unless authorized pursuant to a general or specific license issued under the Regulations or otherwise exempt. See 3 [ C.F.R. § 515.20 I.

OFAC regards an FCSC-certified claim against Cuba as property in which Cuba has an interest, as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 515.311. Accordingly, the transfer of a celiified Cuban claim is generally prohibited absent authorization by OFAC. OFAC may consider licensing the transfer of such a claim under celiain circumstances, provided that any transactions are limited to persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction. Anyone considering a possible transfer of a certified claim is encouraged to consult his or her own attorney. Requests for guidance and/or for a license may be directed to the following address: Office of Foreign Assets ControI, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Treasury Annex, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20220, Attn: Licensing Division. Telephone: (202) 622-2480.

Please be aware that the Regulations provide for civil penalties up to $65,000 per violation and criminal penalties ranging up to 10 years in prison, $1,000,000 in corporate fines, and $250,000 in individual fines.
