Accordingly the Issuer and Programme rating(s) issued by Moody's Deutschland GmbH and Fitch Ratings Ireland Limited have been endorsed by Moody’s Investors Service Ltd and Fitch Ratings Ltd, respectively in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation and have not been withdrawn.

Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such rating will be disclosed in the Final Terms (or Pricing Supplement, in the case of Exempt Notes) and will not necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the Programme by the relevant rating agency. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Amounts payable on Floating Rate Notes will be calculated by reference to one of LIBOR or EURIBOR as specified in the relevant Final Terms.
