It is also expected that the rating agencies will assign the New Notes ratings of A2/A- (Moody's/ S&P) and 50% equity credit.

 

The Company is also launching a tender offer (the "Tender Offer") intended to repurchase its Undated deeply subordinated fixed rate resettable notes with a first call date on 26 February 2021 (ISIN: XS1195201931) issued by the Company on 26 February 2015,of which EUR1,000,000,000 are currently outstanding, and admitted to trading on Euronext Paris (the "Notes").

 

The Tender Offer is subject to a maximum acceptance amount which will be determined and announced by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion as soon as reasonably practicable on 3 September 2020 (the "Maximum Acceptance Amount").

 

The Tender Price will be based on a purchase yield fixed at -0.20% per cent.

 

The purpose of the Tender Offer and the planned issuance of New Notes is, amongst other things, to proactively manage the Company's hybrid portfolio while intending to maintain the aggregate size of the stock of outstanding hybrid notes at around the same level.

 

It is expected that, following the New Issue and Tender Offer, the Company's overall hybrid equity credit will remain constant.

 

The Tender Offer will end at 17:00 hours CET on 2 September 2020 and its results will be announced on 3 September 2020 (subject to changes as a result of any extension, withdrawal, termination, re-opening or amendment of the Tender Offer).
