Lloyds TSB Investor Meeting

The content of the presentations will address the Group's plans to deliver organic growth over the next few years, by developing the Group's core retail and corporate franchises and key distribution strengths. The Group considers that its clearer focus on organic growth and new business operating model will start delivering improved performance by the second half of 2004. Over the next few years, this will support the Group's objective to build a strong customer franchise, grow its earnings and thereby increase its dividend cover.

Live and recorded webcasts of the presentations will be available on the Group's website www.lloydstsb.com.
