permission. All rights reserved. In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies
on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a
reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable
verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given
jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch’s factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature
of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the
issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the
availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports,
engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third-party
verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of
Fitch’s ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all
of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers
are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing
its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and
attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking
and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts.
As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not
anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed.
The information in this report is provided “as is” without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant
that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the
creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is
continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of
individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless
such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship.
Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are
named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled,
verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or
withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a
recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for
a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers,
insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the
applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or
guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or
the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch
to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services
and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic
publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers.
