£4,725
(b) Estimate of total expenses related to admission to trading:
2. RATINGS
Ratings: The Notes to be issued are expected to be rated:
S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P's"): BBB-
Moody's Investors Service Ltd. ("Moody's"): Baa3
Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch"): BBB+
S&P's is established in the EEA. Moody's and Fitch are established in the United Kingdom. Each of S&P's, Moody's and Fitch is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended) (the "CRA Regulation"). As such, each of S&P's, Moody's and Fitch is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website in accordance with the CRA Regulation.
In accordance with S&P's ratings definitions available as at the date of these Final Terms on https://www.standardandpoors.com/en\_US/we b/guest/article/-/view/sourceId/504352,
obligations rated 'BBB' exhibit adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.
In accordance with Moody's ratings definitions available as at the date of these Final Terms on https://www.moodys.com/ratingsprocess/Ratings-Definitions/002002,
obligations rated 'Baa' are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.
In accordance with Fitch's ratings definitions available as at the date of these Final Terms on https://www.fitchratings.com/site/definitions, a rating of 'BBB' indicates that expectations of default risk are low and the capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
3. INTERESTS OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS INVOLVED IN THE ISSUE/OFFER
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. The Managers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform other services for, the Issuer and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
4. USE OF PROCEEDS

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 safekeeper.

Such recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that Eurosystem eligibility criteria have been met.
