"Consent Solicitation" means the invitation by the Issuer to Eligible Securityholders to approve this Extraordinary Resolution, as more fully described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

"Consent Solicitation Memorandum" means the consent solicitation memorandum dated 11 May 2026 prepared by the Issuer.

"Eligible Securityholder" means a Securityholder who is (a) located and resident outside the United States and is not a U.S. person (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) (b) (i) an eligible counterparty or a professional client (each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended) or (ii) an eligible counterparty (as defined in the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority's Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook) or a professional client (as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018) (as amended); and in each case, if applicable, who is acting on behalf of a beneficial owner that is also an eligible counterparty or a professional client, in each case in respect of the relevant Series of Securities and (c) otherwise a person to whom the Consent Solicitation can be lawfully made and that may lawfully participate in the Consent Solicitation.

"Ineligible Securityholder" means a Securityholder that is not an Eligible Securityholder."

Background

The Issuer has convened the Meeting for the purpose of enabling Securityholders to consider and resolve, if they think fit, to pass the Extraordinary Resolution proposed by the Issuer in relation to certain amendments to modify the Conditions (as set out in the Trust Deed) (the "Proposal").

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.

A high-level overview of the ranking of the Securities if the Extraordinary Resolution is passed and implemented and if the Issuer elects to operate this push-down mechanism is shown in the following diagram:

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.

The Trustee has not been involved in the formulation of the Extraordinary Resolution and the Trustee expresses no opinion on the merits of the Extraordinary Resolution or on whether Securityholders would be acting in their best interests in approving the Extraordinary Resolution, and nothing in this Notice should be construed as a recommendation to Securityholders from the Trustee to vote in favour of, or against, the Extraordinary Resolution.  Securityholders should take their own independent financial, accounting and legal advice on the merits and on the consequences of voting in favour of, or against, the Extraordinary Resolution, including as to any tax consequences.  The Trustee has not reviewed, nor will it be reviewing, any documents relating to the Consent Solicitation, except those to which it will be a party and this Notice of Meeting.  On the basis of the information set out in this Notice of Meeting and the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, the Trustee has authorised it to be stated that the Trustee has no objection to the Extraordinary Resolution being put to Securityholders for their consideration.

Consent Solicitation

The Issuer has invited holders of the Securities (such invitation the "Consent Solicitation") to consent to the approval, by Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting, of the modification of the Conditions as described in the Extraordinary Resolution as set out above, all as further described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (as defined in the Extraordinary Resolution set out above).

The Consent Solicitation Memorandum and any other documents or materials relating to the Consent Solicitation are only for distribution or to be made available to persons who are Eligible Securityholders (as defined in the Extraordinary Resolution above).

Subject to the restrictions described in the previous paragraph, Securityholders may obtain, from the date of this Notice, a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum from the Tabulation Agent, the contact details for which are set out below.

Early Consent Fee and Late Consent Fee

Eligible Securityholders may be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, to receive an amount equal to 0.25 per cent. of the principal amount of the Securities that are the subject of the relevant Electronic Voting Instruction (the "Early Consent Fee") by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Electronic Voting Instruction in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution, that is received by the Tabulation Agent by 4:00 p.m. (London time) on 22 May 2026 (the "Early Instruction Deadline") and not subsequently revoked. Similarly, Eligible Securityholders from whom valid Electronic Voting Instructions are received in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution after the Early Instruction Deadline and by the Expiration Deadline may be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, to receive an amount equal to 0.10 per cent. of the principal amount of the Securities that are the subject of the relevant Electronic Voting Instruction (the "Late Consent Fee"), but will not be eligible to receive the Early Consent Fee.

Only Eligible Securityholders who (i) deliver, or arrange to have delivered on their behalf, valid Electronic Voting Instructions in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution (A) by the Early Instruction Deadline (and do not subsequently revoke such instructions) or (B) after the Early Instruction Deadline and by the Expiration Deadline (and do not subsequently revoke such instructions), and (ii) do not seek to attend the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) in person or make any other arrangements to be represented at the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting), may be eligible for (x) (in the case of limb (i)(A)), the applicable Early Consent Fee; and (y) (in the case of limb (i)(B)), the applicable Late Consent Fee. Any Eligible Securityholder that separately seeks to appoint a proxy to vote at the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) on its behalf or attends the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) in person or makes other arrangements to be represented at the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) will not be eligible for the Early Consent Fee and/or the Late Consent Fee, irrespective of whether such Securityholder has delivered an Electronic Voting Instruction, or voted in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution.

If the Extraordinary Resolution is passed (subject to the satisfaction of the Eligibility Condition) and implemented, any Early Consent Fee and/or the Late Consent Fee payable to Eligible Securityholders, will be paid on the date no later than the fifth business day following implementation of the Proposal (the "Fee Payment Date") in immediately available funds delivered to the Euroclear SA/NV and/or Clearstream Banking S.A. (the "Clearing Systems") for payment to the cash accounts of the relevant Eligible Securityholders in the Clearing Systems. The deposit of such funds with the Clearing Systems will discharge the obligation of the Issuer to all Eligible Securityholders in respect of the above amounts represented by such funds.

Ineligible Securityholders

Ineligible Securityholders may be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, to receive an amount equal to 0.25 per cent. of the principal amount of the Securities that are the subject of the relevant Ineligible Securityholder Instruction (the "Ineligible Securityholder Early Consent Fee") by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Ineligible Securityholder Instruction abstaining from voting in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution, that is received by the Tabulation Agent by the Early Instruction Deadline and not subsequently revoked. Ineligible Securityholders from whom valid Ineligible Securityholder Instructions are received abstaining from voting in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution after the Early Instruction Deadline and by the Expiration Deadline may be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, to receive an amount equal to 0.10 per cent. of the principal amount of the Securities that are the subject of the relevant Ineligible Securityholder Instruction (the "Ineligible Securityholder Late Consent Fee"), but will not be eligible to receive the Ineligible Securityholder Early Consent Fee.

An "Ineligible Securityholder Instruction" means an Electronic Voting Instruction provided by (or on behalf of) an Ineligible Securityholder and confirming that the relevant Electronic Voting Instruction has been provided by an Ineligible Securityholder.

The delivery of an Ineligible Securityholder Instruction abstaining from voting in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution shall constitute an instruction by the relevant Securityholder to the Registrar to appoint one or more representatives of the Tabulation Agent as that Securityholder's proxy to abstain from voting in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting. 

Only Ineligible Securityholders who (1) deliver, or arrange to have delivered on their behalf, valid Ineligible Securityholder Instructions abstaining from voting in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution by (A) the Early Instruction Deadline (and do not subsequently revoke such instructions) or (B) after the Early Instruction Deadline and by the Expiration Deadline (and do not subsequently revoke such instructions), and (2) do not seek to attend the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) in person or make any other arrangements to be represented at the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting), may be eligible for (x) (in the case of limb (1)(A)), the applicable Ineligible Securityholder Early Consent Fee; and (y) (in the case of limb (1)(B)), the applicable Ineligible Securityholder Late Consent Fee. Any Ineligible Securityholder that separately seeks to appoint a proxy to vote at the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) on its behalf or attends the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) in person or makes other arrangements to be represented at the Meeting (or any adjourned Meeting) will not be eligible for the Ineligible Securityholder Early Consent Fee and/or the Ineligible Securityholder Late Consent Fee, irrespective of whether such Securityholder has delivered an Ineligible Securityholder Instruction, or abstained from voting in respect, or voted in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution.

Sanctions Restricted Persons will not be eligible to receive the Early Consent Fee, the Late Consent Fee, the Ineligible Securityholder Early Consent Fee or the Ineligible Securityholder Late Consent Fee.

If the Extraordinary Resolution is passed (subject to the satisfaction of the Eligibility Condition) and implemented, any Ineligible Securityholder Early Consent Fee and/or the Ineligible Securityholder Late Consent Fee payable to Ineligible Securityholders, will be paid on the Fee Payment Date in immediately available funds delivered to the Clearing Systems for payment to the cash accounts of the relevant Ineligible Securityholders in the Clearing Systems. The deposit of such funds with the Clearing Systems will discharge the obligation of the Issuer to all Ineligible Securityholders in respect of the above amounts represented by such funds.

For the avoidance of doubt, an Electronic Voting Instruction which does not specify whether or not it has been submitted by (or on behalf of) an Ineligible Securityholder, shall be deemed to have been submitted on behalf of an Eligible Securityholder.

By delivering, or arranging for the delivery on its behalf, of an Ineligible Securityholder Instruction, an Ineligible Securityholder and any Direct Participant (as defined below) submitting such Ineligible Securityholder Instruction on such Ineligible Securityholder's behalf shall be deemed to agree to, acknowledge, represent, warrant and undertake to the Issuer, the Solicitation Agent, the Trustee and the Tabulation Agent the following (i) at the time of submission of the Ineligible Securityholder Instruction, (ii) on the Expiration Deadline and (iii) at the time of the Meeting and the time of any adjourned such Meeting (if the holder of such Securities or the Direct Participant is unable to give these acknowledgements, agreements, representations, warranties and undertakings, such holder or Direct Participant should contact the Tabulation Agent immediately):

The attention of Securityholders is particularly drawn to the procedures for voting, quorum and other requirements for the passing of the Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting or any meeting held following any adjournment of the Meeting, which are set out in the second paragraph of "Voting and Quorum" below.  Having regard to such requirements, Securityholders are strongly urged either to attend the Meeting or to take steps to be represented at the Meeting (including by way of submitting Electronic Voting Instructions in favour of the Proposal (all such terms as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum)) as soon as possible.

Voting and Quorum

Securityholders who have submitted and not revoked (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) a valid Electronic Voting Instruction in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution, by which they will have given instructions for the appointment of one or more representatives of the Tabulation Agent by the Registrar as their proxy to attend and vote (as specified in the relevant Electronic Voting Instruction) in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution at the Meeting and any meeting held following any adjournment of the Meeting, need take no further action to be represented at the Meeting or any such adjourned meeting.

Securityholders who have not submitted or have submitted and subsequently revoked (in the limited circumstances in which such revocation is permitted) an Electronic Voting Instruction in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution should take note of the relevant provisions set out below detailing how such Securityholders can attend or take steps to be represented at the Meeting (references to which, for the purpose of such provisions, include, unless the context otherwise requires, any meeting held following any adjournment of the Meeting).

1.            Subject as set out below, the provisions governing the convening and holding of a meeting of the Securityholders are set out in Schedule 3 to the Trust Deed, a copy of which is available for inspection by the Securityholders as referred to above.

Each person (a "beneficial owner") who is the owner of a particular aggregate principal amount of the Securities through Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or a person who is shown in the records of Euroclear SA/NV ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") as a holder of the Securities (a "Direct Participant"), should note that a beneficial owner will only be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting in accordance with the procedures set out below and where a beneficial owner is not a Direct Participant it will need to make the necessary arrangements, either directly or with the intermediary through which it holds its Securities, for the Direct Participant to complete these procedures on its behalf.

A Securityholder who wishes to attend and vote at the Meeting and any adjourned such Meeting in person must produce at such Meeting a valid form of proxy issued by the Registrar.

A Securityholder may obtain a form of proxy in respect of its Securities from the Registrar by arranging for its Securities to be blocked in an account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (unless the Security is the subject of a block voting instruction which has been issued and is outstanding in respect of the Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting) not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjourned such Meeting) and within the relevant time limit specified by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, upon terms that the Securities will not cease to be so blocked until the first to occur of the conclusion of the Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting and the surrender of the form of proxy to the Registrar and notification by the Registrar to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, of such surrender or the compliance in such other manner with the rules of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be.

A Securityholder not wishing to attend and vote at the Meeting in person may either deliver the form(s) of proxy to the person whom it wishes to attend on its behalf or give a voting instruction (in the form of an electronic voting instruction (an "Electronic Voting Instruction") in accordance with the standard procedures of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg) to, and require the Registrar to, include the votes attributable to its Securities in a block voting instruction issued by the Registrar for the Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting, in which case the Registrar shall appoint a proxy to attend and vote at such Meeting in accordance with such Securityholder's instructions.

If a Securityholder wishes the votes attributable to its Securities to be included in a block voting instruction for the Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting, then (i) the Securityholder must arrange for its Securities to be blocked in an account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg for that purpose and (ii) the Securityholder or a duly authorised person on its behalf must direct the Registrar as to how those votes are to be cast by way of an Electronic Voting Instruction, not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjourned such Meeting) and within the time limit specified by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, upon terms that the Securities will not cease to be so blocked until the first to occur of (i) the conclusion of the Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting and (ii) not less than 48 hours before the time for which the Meeting is convened, the notification in writing of any revocation of a Securityholder's previous instructions to the Registrar and the same then being notified in writing by the Registrar to the Issuer and the Trustee at least 24 hours before the time appointed for holding the Meeting and such Securities ceasing in accordance with the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, and with the agreement of the Registrar to be held to its order or under its control, and that such instruction is, during the period commencing 48 hours prior to the time for which the Meeting or any adjourned such Meeting is convened and within the time limit specified by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, and ending at the conclusion or adjournment thereof, neither revocable nor capable of amendment.

Each Securityholder which arranges for an Electronic Voting Instruction to be submitted must also confirm in such Electronic Voting Instruction whether it is an Eligible Securityholder or an Ineligible Securityholder. Securityholders voting pursuant to forms of proxy will also be required to confirm whether they are an Eligible Securityholder or an Ineligible Securityholder.

For the above purposes, instructions given by Direct Participants to the Tabulation Agent through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will be deemed to be instructions given to the Registrar.

2.            The quorum required for the Extraordinary Resolution to be considered at the Meeting is one or more persons present and holding or representing in the aggregate a clear majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

In the event such quorum is not present within 15 minutes from the time initially fixed for the Meeting, or if the Eligibility Condition is not satisfied at the Meeting, the Meeting shall be adjourned until such date, not less than 13 nor more than 42 days later, and place as may be appointed by the chairman of the Meeting and approved by the Trustee.  At any such adjourned Meeting one or more persons present and holding or representing the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities represented or held by the voters actually present or represented at such adjourned Meeting shall form a quorum.

Forms of proxy obtained and Electronic Voting Instructions given in respect of the Meeting (unless revoked in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed and, in the case of Electronic Voting Instructions, in accordance with the procedures of the Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be) shall remain valid for any such adjourned Meeting.

Securityholders should note these quorum requirements and should be aware that, if the Securityholders either present or appropriately represented at the Meeting are insufficient to form a quorum for the Extraordinary Resolution, the Extraordinary Resolution cannot be formally considered at the Meeting.  Securityholders are therefore encouraged either to attend the Meeting in person or to arrange to be represented at the Meeting as soon as possible.

3.            Every question submitted to the Meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in case of equality of votes the chairman of the Meeting shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as a holder of a voting certificate or as a proxy or as a representative.

Unless a poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands) demanded by the chairman of the Meeting, the Issuer, the Trustee or one or more persons representing 2 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, a declaration by the chairman of the Meeting that a resolution has or has not been passed shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes cast in favour of or against such resolution.

On a show of hands every person who is present in person and produces a voting certificate or is a proxy or representative shall have one vote.  On a poll every such person shall have one vote in respect of each £1 in aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the voting certificate so produced or in respect of which he or she is a holder, proxy or representative.

4.            To be passed at the Meeting, the Extraordinary Resolution requires a majority of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution. If passed, the Extraordinary Resolution shall be binding on all Securityholders, whether or not present at the Meeting at which it is passed and whether or not voting.
