RATINGS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ratings:

 

The Notes to be issued have not been specifically rated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ratings of the Programme in respect of Notes with a maturity of more than one year are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fitch Ratings Ltd.: BBB

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moody’s Investors Service Espãna SA: Ba2

 

 

 

 

Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services France SAS: BB+

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A “BBB” rating by Fitch Ratings Ltd. indicates that expectations of default risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obligations rated “Ba” by Moody’s Investors Service Espãna SA are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk. Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 to each generic rating classification from Aa to Caa. The modifier “2” indicates a mid-range ranking of the generic Ba rating category.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An obligation rated “BB” by Standard & Poor’s Credit Market Services France SAS is less vulnerable to non-payment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. The plus (+) sign shows the relative standing of the obligation within the major rating category.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The above disclosure reflects the ratings allocated to Notes of the type being issued under the Programme generally and not the rating of this specific Series of Notes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each such rating agency is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended).

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Offer Price:

 

Issue Price

 

 

Conditions to which the offer is subject:

 

1. If the aggregate number of Notes subscribed for multiplied by the Specified Denomination of each Note (being €1,000) exceeds the applicable maximum aggregate nominal amount of this Series the following successive criteria will apply:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i) first - each investor will receive 5 (five) Notes (each Note representing €1,000 in nominal amount of the Notes) or, if the number of Notes applied for is less than 5 (five), such lesser number. If the aggregate number of Notes available is not sufficient to satisfy such allotment of 5 (five) Notes per investor, the Notes will be allocated by priority of date of application, with priority being given to the applications first received on the centralised system of Euronext Lisbon (all applications received on the same business day having equal priority). Subscription applications received on the business day on which the applicable maximum aggregate nominal amount of this Series is exceeded will be satisfied by lottery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii) second — the amount remaining after the application of (i) above will be allocated by priority of date of application, priority being given to the applications first received on the centralised system of Euronext Lisbon (all applications received on the same business day having equal priority). Subscription applications received on the business day on which the Aggregate Nominal Amount of this Series of Notes is exceeded, will be allocated an additional number of Notes proportional to the total number of Notes of that subscription application not yet satisfied in accordance with the first criteria referred in (i) above in allotments of 1 (one) Note, rounded downwards.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii) third — the amount remaining after the application of (i) and (ii) above will be allocated

 

8



 

 

 

 

 

by successive allotments of 1 (one) additional Note to the remaining subscription applications that after application of (i) and (ii) above are not yet satisfied and are closer to the possibility to having an additional allotment of 1 (one) Note. If the number of available Notes is not sufficient to satisfy this criteria, the subscription applications will be satisfied by lottery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Subscription applications may be cancelled or amended by a subscriber up to (and including) 3 p.m. (Lisbon time) on 17 July 2012.
