as amended, with respect to the business, strategy, plans and/or
results of HBOS plc together with its subsidiaries (the Group) and
its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial
condition and performance. Statements that are not historical
facts, including statements about the Group's or its directors'
and/or management's beliefs and expectations, are forward looking
statements. Words such as 'believes', 'anticipates', 'estimates',
'expects', 'intends', 'aims', 'potential', 'will', 'would',
'could', 'considered', 'likely', 'estimate' and variations of these
words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to

disposals and consolidation or technological developments in the
financial services industry; and statements of assumptions
underlying such statements. By their nature, forward looking
statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to
events and depend upon circumstances that will or may occur in the
future. Factors that could cause actual business, strategy, plans
and/or results (including but not limited to the payment of
dividends) to differ materially from forward looking statements
made by the Group or on its behalf include, but are not limited to:

(if applicable); the policies, decisions and actions of
governmental or regulatory authorities or courts in the UK, the EU,
the US or elsewhere including the implementation and interpretation
of key legislation and regulation together with any resulting
impact on the future structure of the Group; the ability to attract
and retain senior management and other employees and meet its
diversity objectives; actions or omissions by the Group's
directors, management or employees including industrial action;
