|Abbey has requested Fitch Ratings to confirm the impact on the rating of the issued securities      |               
|if the minimum required short term rating of Abbey as sterling account bank / GIC provider is       |               
|changed to F1 from F1+. Once Fitch has completed its review of the appropriate documentation        |               
|amendments, it expects to confirm that this change will have no effect on the rating of any of the  |               
|securities issued by any of the Issuers. In addition, it has indicated that in the event that Abbey |               
|is downgraded below F1 then Abbey's obligations will either need to be guaranteed by a third        |               
|party rated at least F1 or transferred to a counterparty rated at least F1, within 30 days of the   |               
|downgrade, to prevent a downgrade by Fitch of any of the issued securities                          |                |
