LLOYDS TSB Files 2007 Annual report on form-20f

Lloyds TSB has today filed its 2007 Annual Report on Form 20F. A copy of this report is available on the Group website at www.investorrelations.lloydstsb.com.

As previously reported in our 2007 Results published on 22 February 2008, the Group has provided information relating to certain historic US dollar payments to a number of authorities including The Office of Foreign Assets Control, the US Department of Justice and the New York County District Attorney's office.  The Group is involved in ongoing discussions with these and other authorities with respect to agreeing a resolution of their investigations. Whilst the Group does not expect the final outcome to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, discussions have advanced towards resolution since the year-end and accordingly the Group has provided £180 million in respect of this matter in the first half of 2008.
