FINAL TERMS

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET ASSESSMENT – Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes, taking into account the five categories in item 18 of the Guidelines published by ESMA on 5 February 2018, has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

PART B – OTHER INFORMATION

1. Listing and Admission to trading (i) Listing and admission to trading: Application will be made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the Notes to be admitted to trading on Euronext Paris with effect on or from the Issue Date. The Existing Notes are already admitted to trading on Euronext Paris. (ii) Estimate of total expenses related to admission to trading: EUR 8,600

2. Ratings

Ratings: The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated:

  • Baa1 by Moody's France SAS ("Moody's"),

  • A- by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited, France Branch ("S&P")

  • A+ by Fitch Ratings Ireland Limited ("Fitch") and

  • A (High) by DBRS Ratings GmbH ("DBRS").

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

According to Moody's' definitions, 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 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category.

According to S&P's definitions, an obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higherrated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong. The addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign shows relative standing within the rating categories.

According to Fitch's definitions, 'A' ratings denote expectations of low default risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings. The modifier "+" is appended to denote relative status within major rating categories.

According to DBRS' definitions, 'A' rating means good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is substantial, but of

lesser credit quality than AA. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable. All rating categories other than AAA and D also contain subcategories (high) and (low).

3. Interests of Natural and Legal Persons Involved in the Issue

Save for the 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.

(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

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.
