ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS

Notes:
All figures are in euros unless otherwise noted.
The principal methodology applicable to the credit ratings is the “Master European Structured Finance Surveillance Methodology” (7 February 2023), https://www.dbrsmorningstar.com/research/409485/master-european-structured-finance-surveillance-methodology.
Other methodologies referenced in this transaction are listed at the end of this press release.
In DBRS Morningstar’s opinion, a discontinued-repaid credit rating action does not warrant the application of the entire principal methodology, as the bond has been repaid in full.
