Claims for payment must be made directly to NPFG, in accordance with the terms of the applicable insurance agreements. In accordance with the Undertakings, notice is hereby given to owners of the Bonds that Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) downgraded the credit rating of NPFG to Baa2 (Stable outlook) from A3 (Negative outlook) on January 17, 2018. Any explanation of the significance of such rating can only be obtained from Moodys. The Issuers underlying credit rating from Moodys is A1 (Stable outlook), which is higher than the insured credit rating of Baa2 (Stable Outlook). Therefore, the current credit rating for the Bonds is A1 (Stable Outlook). For Bond Document please visit www.BondPDF.com
