(1)   any and all of the outstanding American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") representing LBG's 6.413% Non-Cumulative Fixed to Floating Rate Preference Shares (the "Series 1 Preference Shares"), ADSs representing LBG's 6.657% Non-Cumulative Fixed to Floating Rate Preference Shares (the "Series 2 Preference Shares" and, collectively with the Series 1 Preference Shares, the "Preference Shares") and 6.00% Subordinated Notes due 2033 issued by HBOS plc (the "Series 1 Existing Subordinated Notes") (the "Any and All Offer"), and

(2)   up to the Cap Amount (as defined below) of LBG's 4.582% Subordinated Debt Securities due 2025 (the "Series 3 Existing Subordinated Notes") and LBG's 4.500% Fixed Rate Subordinated Debt Securities due 2024 (the "Series 2 Existing Subordinated Notes" and, collectively with the Series 1 Existing Subordinated Notes and the Series 3 Existing Subordinated Notes, the "Existing Subordinated Notes") (the "Capped Offer" and, together with the Any and All Offer, the "Exchange Offer").

The Series 1 Existing Subordinated Notes and the Preference Shares are collectively referred to as the "Any and All Offer Securities". The Series 2 Existing Subordinated Notes and the Series 3 Existing Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the "Capped Offer Notes". The Preference Shares and the Existing Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to as the "Existing Securities". The Exchange Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the prospectus dated November 10, 2021, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the "Prospectus"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Prospectus.

For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2021 (the "Expiration Deadline") and accepted by LBG, the following table sets forth the exchange yield, the Total Exchange Consideration (consisting of a principal amount of New Notes equal to the applicable New Notes Exchange Consideration plus an amount in cash equal to the relevant Cash Consideration Amount), New Notes Exchange Consideration and the Cash Consideration Amount.
 

(1)    The aggregate principal amount of the Capped Offer Notes of each series that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the Capped Offer will be based on the order of Exchange Priority for such series as set forth in the table above, subject to the Cap Amount and proration arrangements applicable to the Capped Offer.

(2)    Reflects the bid-side yield of the applicable Reference UST Security as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on December 7, 2021, plus the applicable Fixed Spread, calculated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus.

(3)    In addition to the applicable Total Exchange Consideration, LBG will pay accrued and unpaid dividends (in the case of the Preference Shares) or interest (in the case of Existing Subordinated Notes) up to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

(4)    Total Exchange Consideration and New Notes Exchange Consideration are per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Securities accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The Total Exchange Consideration includes both the Cash Consideration Amount and the New Notes Exchange Consideration.

New Notes

(1)    The New Notes Interest Rate is based on the bid-side yield of the Benchmark Security, as of 10:00 a.m. New York City time on December 7, 2021, plus the Spread to Benchmark Security, calculated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus.

The aggregate principal amount of the Capped Offer Notes of each series that are accepted for exchange will be based on the order of Exchange Priority for such series as set forth in the table above, subject to the Cap Amount and proration arrangements applicable to the Capped Offer. The Cap Amount is a principal amount of Capped Offer Notes that would result in a principal amount of $750,000,000 of the New Notes (the "Maximum Capped Offer New Notes Size") being issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer (after taking into account the principal amount of the New Notes to be issued pursuant to the Any and All Offer). In case the principal amount of the Any and All Offer Securities accepted pursuant to the Any and All Offer is such that the principal amount of the New Notes to be issued pursuant to the Any and All Offer is equal to or exceeds $750,000,000, all validly tendered Any and All Offer Securities will be accepted in full and no Capped Offer Notes will be accepted pursuant to the Capped Offer.

In addition to the applicable Total Exchange Consideration specified in the table above, holders of Existing Securities that are accepted for exchange will receive a cash payment representing (i) the accrued and unpaid dividends (in the case of the Preference Shares) or interest (in the case of Existing Subordinated Notes) to, but not including, the Settlement Date, and (ii) amounts due in lieu of any fractional amounts of New Notes, in each case, as described in the Prospectus.

Minimum New Issue Size

The Exchange Offer is subject to a minimum new issue size of at least $500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount

of New Notes being issued in exchange for Existing Securities validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and

not withdrawn (the "Minimum New Issue Size") and certain other conditions set out under the heading "The

Exchange Offer-Terms of the Exchange Offer-Exchange Offer Conditions" in the Prospectus.

General

The Exchange Offer does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Existing Securities and/or New Notes in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities or other laws require the Exchange Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer or registered dealer and the Dealer Manager or, where the context so requires, any of its affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer or registered dealer in that jurisdiction, the Exchange Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of LBG by such Dealer Manager or affiliate (as the case may be) in such jurisdiction.

Each holder of Existing Securities participating in the Exchange Offer will be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the jurisdictions referred to above and generally as set out in "The Exchange Offer-Certain Matters Relating to Non-U.S. Jurisdictions" in the Prospectus. Any tender of Existing Securities for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer from a holder that is unable to make these representations may be rejected. LBG, the Dealer Managers and the Exchange Agent reserve the right, in their absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of Existing Securities for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer, whether any such representation given by a holder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result LBG determines, as the case may be, (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such tender may be rejected.
