$2.$ Ratings
Ratings:
The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated Baa1 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 (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.
