$2.$ Ratings

Ratings:

The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated Baa2 by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. ("Moody's"), A- by S&P Global Ratings, acting through Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services France SAS ("S&P"), A+ by Fitch France S.A.S. ("Fitch France") and A by DBRS Ratings Limited ("DBRS Limited").

Obligations rated Baa by Moody's are judged to be of medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and may possess certain $ac$ such speculative characteristics. The modifier 2 indicates mid-range ranking.

As defined by S&P, an A- rating means that the Issuer's capacity to meet its financial commitment under the Notes is still strong. The minus (-) sign shows the relative standing within the rating category.

As defined by Fitch France an A+ rating denotes a very low expectation of credit risk. It indicates a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. Such capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

As defined by DBRS Limited, an A rating means that the Issuer's capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered substantial. Such capacity may be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

Each of Moody's, S&P, Fitch France and DBRS Limited is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended).
