PART B - OTHER INFORMATION

$1.$ Listing and Admission to trading

trading:

(i) trading: Listing and admission to Application has been made by the Issuer (or on its
behalf) for the Notes to be listed on Euronext Paris
with effect from 23 November 2017.
(ii) related to admission to Estimate of total expenses EUR 10,075 including AMF fees

$2.$ 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

Indication of vield:

1.543 per cent. per annum

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.
