S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"): BBB

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

Moody's in its 26 January 2021 publication entitled "Rating Symbols and Definitions "describe a credit rating of "Baa2" in the following terms "Obligations rated Baa are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and a such may possess a 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".

S&P in its 5 January 2021 publication entitled "S&P Global Ratings Definitions" describe a credit rating of "BBB" in the following terms "An obligation rated 'BBB' exhibits adequate protection parameters.
