Management of short-term interest rate exposure and cash<br />

Cash balances, which are primarily <strong>com</strong>posed of euros and dollars,<br />

are managed with three main objectives set out by management<br />

(to maintain maximum liquidity, to optimize revenue from<br />

investments considering existing interest rate yield curves, and<br />

to minimize the cost of borrowing), over a horizon of less than<br />

twelve months and on the basis of a daily interest rate benchmark,<br />

primarily through short-term interest rate swaps and short-term<br />

currency swaps, without modification of the currency exposure.<br />

Management of interest rate risk on non-current debt<br />

The Group’s policy consists of incurring non-current debt primarily<br />

at a floating rate or at a fixed rate depending on opportunities at the<br />

issuance with regards to the level of interest rates, in dollars or in<br />

euros according to the general corporate purposes.<br />

Long-term interest rate and currency swaps can hedge debenture<br />

loans at their issuance in order to create a variable rate synthetic<br />

debt. In order to partially modify the interest rate structure of the<br />

long-term debt, TOTAL can also enter into long-term interest rate<br />

swaps.<br />
