3.         BACKGROUND

On 16 November 2020, the United Kingdom Prudential Regulation Authority ("PRA") sent a "Dear CFO" letter to all major UK deposit takers requesting all firms to take steps to remediate the prudential treatment of legacy instruments. The Existing Preference Shares were historically counted as Tier 1 capital but ceased to be eligible to be counted as Tier 1 capital at the end of the CRR transition period on 31 December 2021.

At the time, there was a risk that, if the Existing Preference Shares counted as regulatory Tier 2 Capital but maintained a legal ranking pari passu with Additional Tier 1 Capital, an infection risk would be created in respect of the Issuer's then existing Additional Tier 1 Capital securities.

As a result, and as per the announcements relating to the Existing Preference Shares made on 10 November 2021[1], the Group classified the Existing Preference Shares as ineligible for regulatory capital purposes, while the legal ranking of the Existing Preference Shares was left unchanged, ranking pari passu with Additional Tier 1 Capital. However, at the time of the announcements, the Group also reserved the right to review such classification in future, to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulation.

Aside from the Securities, all of the Issuer's other additional tier 1 issuances which are expected to be outstanding as at 1 July 2026 (the "LBG AT1 Securities") contain identical subordination provisions (the "Recent AT1 Subordination Provisions"), which differ from the subordination provisions currently contained in the Conditions. Under the Recent AT1 Subordination Provisions, the Issuer is permitted, in its sole discretion, to subordinate the LBG AT1 Securities to (i) the Existing Preference Shares of the Issuer and (ii) any securities of the Issuer ranking or expressed to rank pari passu with any of the Existing Preference Shares in a winding-up of the Issuer (the "Pari Passu Securities"). This is contingent upon the Issuer determining that the LBG AT1 Securities would not be included in the Additional Tier 1 Capital (as defined below) of the Group (as defined below) unless the holders of some or all of the Existing Preference Shares and any Pari Passu Securities are ranked senior to such LBG AT1 Securities, including as a result of the Issuer electing to treat the Existing Preference Shares as Tier 2 Capital. It is proposed that the Conditions be amended to align the subordination provisions of the Securities with the Recent AT1 Subordination Provisions.

"Existing Preference Shares" means the 9.25% preference shares (ISIN GB00B3KS9W93), the 6.413% preference shares (ISIN USG5533WAA56/US539439AC38), the 6.657% preference shares (ISIN US539439AE93/US539439AF68) and the 9.75% preference shares (ISIN GB00B3KSB238), each issued by the Issuer.

If the Extraordinary Resolution is passed and implemented, the Issuer intends to reclassify the Existing Preference Shares as Tier 2 Capital from 1 July 2026, increasing the Tier 2 Capital of the Group by c.£400m.

This Proposal would reduce the amount of legacy instruments that do not count as own funds in line with the Bank of England's resolution planning objectives. The changes to the Conditions contemplated in the Proposal have been reviewed by the PRA, who have provided confirmation of no objection in relation to the Proposal.

It should be noted, that following the redemption of the Issuer's $500m 6.75% AT1 Securities callable in June 2026 (the notice for the redemption of which was issued on 30 April 2026), the Securities will be the only outstanding additional tier 1 issuance of the Issuer without the inclusion of the Recent AT1 Subordination Provisions. The Securities remain callable at the Issuer's discretion in June 2029, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Therefore, in the event the Extraordinary Resolution does not pass, the classification of the Existing Preference Shares is one of the factors that the Issuer will consider alongside the review of any potential optional redemption of the Securities at a future date.

Rating Agencies

A copy of the draft Consent Solicitation Memorandum has been provided to each of Fitch Ratings Limited, Moody's Investors Service Ltd. and S&P Global Ratings UK Limited. The Issuer is not expecting any change to the ratings of the Securities as a result of the Extraordinary Resolution being implemented.
