2. RATINGS

Ratings: The Notes to be issued have been rated Baa2 by Moody's and BBB by S&P.

Obligations rated 'Baa' are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. The modifier '2' indicates a mid-range ranking.

(Source: Moody's, https://www.moodys.com/research/doc-- PBC\_79004)

An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

(Source: S&P, https://disclosure.spglobal.com/ratings/en/regulatory/article/- /view/sourceId/504352)

Each of Moody's and S&P is established in the United Kingdom and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK CRA Regulation").
