We have reviewed the terms of rated market-linked notes issued by financial institutions after the publication of our new criteria " Principles For Rating Debt Issues Based On Imputed Promises," on Oct. 24, 2013. We are withdrawing our long-term issue ratings on 24 market-linked notes following the application of our new imputed promises criteria because of our assessment that principal repayment is not protected through the life of these instruments. We are also correcting by withdrawing our long-term issue ratings on 17 market-linked notes because, under the previously applicable criteria, our assessment is that these notes' principal is not protected at maturity. The affected notes have principal and/or coupon linked to commodity, equity, bond price indices, or credit default swap
