THE OFFER BEGINS ON 23 SEPTEMBER 2025 AND WILL EXPIRE AT 4.00 P.M. (LONDON TIME) ON 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 (THE "EXPIRATION DEADLINE"), UNLESS EXTENDED, RE-OPENED, AMENDED AND/OR TERMINATED AS PROVIDED IN THE TENDER OFFER MEMORANDUM. TENDER INSTRUCTIONS, ONCE SUBMITTED, WILL BE IRREVOCABLE EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES OUTLINED IN THE TENDER OFFER MEMORANDUM UNDER THE HEADING "EXTENSION, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION".
Holders are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Holder in order for that Holder to be able to participate in, or (in the limited circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in, the Offer by the deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and each Clearing System for the submission and revocation of Tender Instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified in the Tender Offer Memorandum.
Rationale for the Offer
The Company is utilising some of its excess liquidity to proactively optimise its capital base and manage interest expense to support its group corporate strategy. The intention of the Offer is to replace the principal amount of the Company's Tier 2 capital outstanding, which is now significantly in excess of its regulatory capacity for Tier 2 capital, thereby enhancing the efficiency of its capital stack.
The Notes purchased by the Company pursuant to the Offer are expected to be cancelled and will not be re-issued or re-sold. Notes which have not been validly submitted and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding.
New Financing Condition
The Company expects to announce on 23 September 2025 its intention to issue new sterling-denominated fixed rate reset perpetual subordinated contingent convertible notes (the "New Notes") (which issuance is indicatively expected to be in aggregate principal amount of £50,000,000, subject to market conditions). Whether the Company will accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered in the Offer and complete the Offer is subject, without limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole determination of the Company) of the issue of the New Notes (the "New Financing Condition") unless such condition is waived by the Company in its sole discretion.
The Company is not under any obligation to accept for purchase any Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer. The acceptance for purchase by the Company of Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer is at the sole discretion of the Company and tenders may be rejected by the Company for any reason.
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time to waive any or all of the conditions of the Offer (including the New Financing Condition).
The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to use some only (and not all of) the net proceeds of the issue of the New Notes to purchase Notes pursuant to the Offer and to apply the remainder of such net proceeds towards other corporate purposes.
Priority in allocation of New Notes
A Holder that wishes to subscribe for New Notes in addition to tendering Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer may receive priority (the "New Issue Priority") in the allocation of the New Notes, subject to the issue of the New Notes and such Holder making a separate application for the purchase of such New Notes to the Sole Dealer Manager (in its capacity as sole bookrunner of the issue of the New Notes) in accordance with the standard new issue procedures of such manager. The aggregate principal amount of New Notes for which New Issue Priority will be given to such a Holder will be at the sole discretion of the Company and may be less than, equal to or greater than the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered by such Holder in the Offer and accepted for purchase by the Company. Any New Issue Priority will also, among other factors, take into account the minimum denomination of the New Notes (being £200,000). The Company is not obliged to allocate the New Notes to an investor which has validly tendered or indicated a firm intention to tender the Notes pursuant to the Offer. Please refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for further details.
The New Notes are not being, and will not be, offered or sold in the United States. Nothing in the Tender Offer Memorandum or this announcement constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes in the United States or any other jurisdiction. Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered in the United States absent registration under, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The New Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act (each a "U.S. Person")).
UK MiFIR professionals/ECPs-only/FCA CoCo restriction - The target market for the New Notes is eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook (COBS), and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA").
The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
See the Preliminary Offering Circular for further information.
No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Notes to permit a public offering of securities.
Purchase Price and Accrued Interest
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the New Financing Condition, the Company will pay for Notes accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the Offer a cash purchase price equal to 100.50 per cent. of the principal amount of the Notes (the "Purchase Price").
The Company will also pay accrued interest from (and including) the last interest payment date to (but excluding) the Tender Offer Settlement Date in respect of Notes accepted by it for purchase pursuant to the Offer (the "Accrued Interest").
Maximum Acceptance Amount
The Company proposes to accept Notes for purchase up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued (the "Maximum Acceptance Amount") (which is expected to be £50,000,000 on the basis of the indicative New Notes issue size described above) on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Tender Offer Memorandum. The Company will announce the Maximum Acceptance Amount as soon as reasonably practicable following the pricing of the New Notes, expected to take place on 23 September 2025. The Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to purchase more than the Maximum Acceptance Amount, subject to applicable law.
In the event that Tender Instructions are received in respect of an aggregate principal amount of Notes which is greater than the Maximum Acceptance Amount, such Tender Instructions will be accepted on a pro rata basis such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer is not greater than the Maximum Acceptance Amount. However, as noted above, the Company reserves the right to purchase more than the Maximum Acceptance Amount. Please refer to the Tender Offer Memorandum for further details.
Acceptance and scaling
In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Notes represented by Tender Instructions is greater than the Maximum Acceptance Amount, Notes validly submitted for tender will be accepted on a pro rata basis.
Such pro rata allocations will be calculated in relation to the Notes by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by each Tender Instruction subject to pro-ration by a factor equal to (i) the Maximum Acceptance Amount divided by (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered in the Offer (subject to adjustment to allow for the aggregate principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase, following the rounding of Tender Instructions as set out below to equal the Maximum Acceptance Amount exactly). Each tender of Notes reduced in this manner will be rounded to the nearest £1,000 in aggregate principal amount, provided that the Company will refuse to accept a Tender Instruction where, following pro-ration, the principal amount of Notes subject to the Tender Instruction, or the residual amount of Notes in the relevant Direct Participant's account (if any), would be less than the minimum denomination of the Notes (being £100,000).
Extension, Amendment and Termination
The Company may, in its sole discretion, extend, re-open, amend, waive any condition of or terminate the Offer at any time (subject to applicable law and as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum). Details of any such extension, re-opening, amendment, waiver or termination will be announced as provided in the Tender Offer Memorandum as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant decision is made.

General
None of the Tender Offer Memorandum, this announcement or the electronic transmission thereof constitutes an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Notes (and tenders of Notes in the Offer will not be accepted from Holders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and the Sole Dealer Manager or any of its affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the Offer shall be deemed to be made by the Sole Dealer Manager or such affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Company in such jurisdiction.
Nothing in the Tender Offer Memorandum, this announcement or the electronic transmission thereof constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes in the United States or any other jurisdiction. No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction in relation to the New Notes to permit a public offering of securities.
In addition to the representations referred to above in respect of the United States, each Holder participating in the Offer will also be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the other jurisdictions referred to above and generally as set out in "Procedures for Participating in the Offer" of the Tender Offer Memorandum. Any tender of Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer from a Holder that is unable to make these representations will not be accepted. Each of the Company, the Sole Dealer Manager and the Tender Agent reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offer, whether any such representation given by a Holder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result the Company determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such tender shall not be accepted.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Tender Offer Memorandum does not constitute an offer of the New Notes and may not be used for the purposes of any such offer.
