Following the occurrence of a Benchmark Event under the contractual terms and conditions of the Notes, and as required by the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Issuer has appointed an Independent Adviser. The Independent Adviser has determined and notified the Issuer of the "Successor Rate" and "Adjustment Spread" set out below for the purposes of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions. This Successor Rate and Adjustment Spread are effective from the interest period commencing on the interest payment date falling in or nearest to February 2023.

The Adjustment Spread is set at 0.26161 per cent. per annum in line with the public statements of the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), and applying the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) fixed fallback spread for 3 month USD LIBOR. This Adjustment Spread will be fixed until maturity of the Notes (being the interest payment date falling in or nearest to 25 February 2025.

Accordingly, interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of the Successor Rate plus the Adjustment Spread, and the original Margin. Interest will continue to be paid quarterly.

Updates to the contractual documentation for the Notes, including consequential changes, consistent with the above determination, will be notified directly to Noteholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.
