NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders") that the Issuer has elected to redeem all of the Bonds outstanding in full on 30 June 2026 (the "Optional Redemption Date") in accordance with Condition 8(d)(i) (Optional Redemption) of the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds set out at Schedule 1 to the bond trust deed originally dated 4 November 2010, as supplemented on 14 November 2014, on 13 July 2017 and on 25 October 2019 between, among others, the Issuer and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. as bond trustee (the "Bond Trustee") (as further amended and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the "Bond Trust Deed") and the Final Terms dated 24 June 2020 related to the Bonds (the "Final Terms" and, together with the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds, the "Conditions"). Terms used in this notice but not defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Bond Trust Deed or, as the case may be, the Conditions.

The Redemption Amount payable in respect of the Bonds was calculated in accordance with Condition 8(d)(i) (Optional Redemption) on 18 June 2026, being the higher of (i) 100 per cent. of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Bonds and (ii) the price, as determined by the Financial Adviser, at which the Gross Redemption Yield on the Bonds on the Reference Date (being 18 June 2026) is equal to the Gross Redemption Yield at 3:00 p.m. (London time) on the Reference Date on the Reference Gilt (the "Make Whole Price Determination"), plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Bonds. The Reference Gilt has been identified with the advice of the Gilt Advisers as the 4.625 per cent. Treasury Stock due 31 January 2034 in accordance with paragraph 16(ix) of the Final Terms (the "Reference Gilt Determination").

Following the calculation of the Make Whole Price Determination in accordance with Condition 8(d)(i) (Optional Redemption), which resulted in the determination of an amount lower than 100 per cent. of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Bonds, the Redemption Amount per Calculation Amount is £1,013.71 per £1,000 in principal amount of Bonds, comprising (i) £1,000 in respect of principal on the Principal Amount Outstanding (representing 100 per cent. of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Bonds) and (ii) £13.71 in respect of accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Bonds to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date. The aggregate Redemption Amount in respect of all Bonds called for redemption is £376,892,179.49.

The Issuer appointed (i) a financial adviser  (such appointment having been approved by the Bond Trustee in accordance with Condition 8(d)(i)) for the purposes of the Make Whole Price Determination (the "Financial Adviser") and (ii) three gilt advisers (such appointments having been approved by the Bond Trustee in accordance with paragraph 16(ix) of the Final Terms) for the purposes of the Reference Gilt Determination (the "Gilt Advisers").

In accordance with the Conditions, all of the Bonds called for redemption will be cancelled and may not be re-issued or resold. Request will be made to (i) the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") to cancel the listing of the Bonds on the Official List of the FCA and (ii) the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") to cancel the admission to trading of the Bonds on the Main Market of the LSE, following the redemption in full of the Bonds.
