These ratings address the repayment of principal only by the legal final maturity. They do not address coupon payments.

These transactions issued by Aquarius + Investments Plc apply the CPPI technique which ensures that there is always sufficient cash to purchase a zero-coupon at any time. Such zero-coupon enables the payment of the protected principal at maturity. In these transactions, Moody's analysis focuses on the credit exposure to BNP Paribas due to the repurchase agreement ('Repo') entered into by the issuer with BNP Paribas as Repo Counterparty.

RATINGS RATIONALE

On 21 June 2012, Moody's downgraded the long term rating of BNP Paribas to A2 from Aa3. This downgrade resulted in a requirement for certain rating downgrade actions under the transactions' documents between BNP Paribas and the Issuer including overcollateralization of BNP Paribas's obligation as Repo Counterparty.

Moody's notes that the eligible assets used by BNP Paribas under each Repo include securities whose liquidity (under market stress) has been challenged during the 2008-2009 financial crisis, in particular some ABS securities. In addition, Moody's believes that the overcollateralization levels currently applied under the Repos by BNP Paribas following its breach of the A1 trigger do not mitigate the potential illiquidity of some types of assets currently used by BNP Paribas under its Repos.

As a result, Moody's believes that there may be an insufficiency of required collateral to be able to redeem the notes at their par value upon a default of the Repo Counterparty.

Moody's assumes strong linkage to BNP Paribas because the structures rely on BNP Paribas as a provider of the principal protection at maturity, based on its role as Repo Counterparty. The ratings on the notes reflect such a linkage with a one-notch uplift over the current rating of BNP Paribas due to the presence of a replacement trigger of the Repo Counterparty upon the loss of Baa3/P-2.

Moody's notes that this transaction is subject to a high level of macroeconomic uncertainty, which could negatively impact the ratings of the notes, as evidenced by 1) uncertainties of credit conditions in the general economy 2) more specifically, any uncertainty associated with BNP Paribas could have a direct impact on this transaction, and 3) additional expected loss associated with hedging agreements in this transaction may also negatively impact the ratings.

The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Moody's Approach to Rating Repackaged Securities" published in April 2010. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

No additional cash flow, sensitivity analysis or stress scenarios have been conducted as the rating was directly derived from the rating of the Repo counterparty together with the trigger mechanism.

Please note that on 2 July 2012, Moody's released a Request for Comment, requesting market feedback on potential changes to its rating implementation guidance for the temporary use of cash in structured finance transactions. If the revised rating implementation guidance is adopted as proposed, the rating on the Notes should not be negatively affected. Please refer to Moody's Request for Comment, entitled "The Temporary Use of Cash in Structured Finance Transactions: Eligible Investment and Bank Guidelines: Request for Comment" for further details regarding the implications of the proposed methodology changes on Moody's ratings.

For provisional ratings, this announcement provides relevant regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating.
