| Abstract: | The ratings on Fortis Bank SA/NV (FBB), including those on its core Luxembourg-based subsidiary, BGL S.A., primarily reflect its 75% ownership by French banking group BNP Paribas (AA/Negative/A-1+). We understand that BNP Paribas considers FBB to be a key to its European banking strategy in Belgium and Luxembourg, among the wealthiest countries in Europe. Therefore, we consider FBB to be a strategically important subsidiary of BNP Paribas, according to our methodology. The ratings on FBB reflect in our view the tangible and intangible benefits of being part of an enlarged and more creditworthy banking group. After months of uncertainty about FBB's acquisition by BNP Paribas, we believe that the closing of the transaction should bring more market and customer confidence
