PART B--OTHER INFORMATION
1. LISTING AND ADMISSION TO TRADING
(i) Listing Bourse de Luxembourg.
(ii) Admission to trading: Application has been made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for
the bonds to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of
the Bourse de Luxembourg with effect from the Issue Date.
(Where documenting a fungible issue need to indicate that
original securities are already admitted to trading.)
2. RATINGS
Ratings: The bonds to be issued have been rated:
S&P: AA+
Moody's: Aa1
An obligation rated 'AA+' by S&P has the second highest long
term credit rating assigned by Standard & Poor's and differs
from the highest rated obligations by only a small degree. The
obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is very strong.
An obligation rated 'Aa1' by Moody's has the second highest long
term credit rating assigned by Moody's. Obligations rated 'Aa1'
are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low
credit risk.
A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold
securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency
at any time. Each rating should be evaluated independently of
any other rating.
(The above disclosure should reflect the rating allocated to
bonds issued under the bond facility generally or, where the
issue has been specifically rated, that rating.)
3. INTERESTS OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS INVOLVED IN THE ISSUE
Save for any fees payable to the Dealers, so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the issue of the bonds has an
interest material to the offer.--Amend as appropriate if there are other interests] [(When adding any other description,
