The Group’s private-placement convertible bonds included embedded derivative instruments which were not closely related to the host contracts and the contracts were designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition under IAS 39. After application of IFRS 9, the entire contracts are assessed and classified mandatorily as at FVTPL since they contain host contracts that are assets within the scope of IFRS 9.
