Ratings: The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service Limited ("Moody's").
Obligations rated 'Baa' are judged to be medium grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.
