Capitalised terms not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Trust Deeds.

The Issuer has been notified of a resolution in writing (the "Written Resolution") dated 16 April 2025 by or on behalf of beneficial holders representing not less than three-fourths of the aggregate outstanding nominal amount (the "Ad Hoc Group") of the Outstanding Notes resolving, among other things, that BNY Mellon Corporate Trustee Services Limited be removed as Trustee without cause or liability in relation to the Outstanding Notes pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Trust Deeds. 

Pursuant to the Trust Deeds the power to appoint a new trustee in respect of the Outstanding Notes is vested in the Issuer but no person shall be appointed as trustee who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution and in the event that the only trustee under the Outstanding Notes which is a Trust Corporation has been removed by Extraordinary Resolution, the Issuer and the Guarantors jointly undertake to use its best endeavours to procure that a new trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

In exercise of this power, the Issuer has today delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg notices of meetings of Noteholders in respect of each of the Outstanding Notes (together, the "Noteholder Meetings") in accordance with Condition 15 (Notices) of the Trust Deeds. The Noteholder Meetings are being convened by the Issuer and will be held at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, 1 New Fetter Lane, London EC4A 1AN for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing resolutions to approve the appointment of The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. which will be proposed as Extraordinary Resolutions in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deeds.

The Issuer has not been afforded the opportunity independently to verify that the Written Resolution was duly passed as an Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with paragraph 20 of Schedule 3 of the Trust Deeds and, therefore, the Extraordinary Resolution proposed at this Meeting is wholly conditional on, and if passed, will only become effective if sufficient information is provided to the Issuer for it to be so satisfied and the Issuer is so satisfied.  Until the Issuer is satisfied that the Written Resolution was validly passed as an Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with, and satisfies the requirements of, paragraph 20 of Schedule 3 of the Trust Deeds with respect to the Outstanding Notes, the Issuer reserves the right to consider the Written Resolution to be invalid and the purported removal of the Trustee to be ineffective and accordingly that the Extraordinary Resolution proposed at the Meeting, if passed, will not become effective unless and until the Issuer is so satisfied.

The Meetings will commence at the times set out below:

Noteholders are invited to participate in the applicable Noteholder Meetings in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deeds and as set out in the notices of the Noteholder Meetings delivered to Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.
