$2.$ Ratings
Ratings:
The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated by Moody's Investors Service Baa1 $Ltd.$ ("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 (high) by DBRS Ratings Limited ("DBRS Limited").
Obligations rated Baa by Moody's are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category.
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).
$3.$ Interests of Natural and Legal Persons Involved in the Issue
Save for any fees payable to the Managers, so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the offer of the Notes has an interest material to the offer.
$\overline{4}$ . Yield

| (vi) | Intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility: |
No. Whilst the designation is specified as "no" at the date of these Final Terms, should the Eurosystem eligibility criteria be amended in the future such that the Notes are capable of meeting them the Notes may then be deposited with one of the ICSDs as common safe-keeper. Note that this does not necessarily mean that the Notes will then be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra day credit operations by the Eurosystem at any time during their life. Such recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that Eurosystem eligibility criteria have been met. |
