THIS ANNOUNCEMENT RELATES TO THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION THAT QUALIFIED OR MAY HAVE QUALIFIED AS INSIDE INFORMATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 7(1) OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU) 596/2014 AS IT FORMS PART OF UK DOMESTIC LAW BY VIRTUE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (WITHDRAWAL) ACT 2018 ("EUWA").

20 May 2024. The Company announces today the results of its invitation (the "Offer") to holders of its outstanding £450,000,000 Subordinated Resettable Fixed Rate Notes due 2075 (ISIN: XS1216019585) (the "Notes"), to tender their Notes for purchase by the Company for cash, subject to the conditions described in the tender offer memorandum dated 10 May 2024 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum"), and subject to the offer restrictions set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

The Expiration Deadline for the Offer was 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 17 May 2024. As at the Expiration Deadline, £414,693,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes was validly tendered for purchase in the Offer.

The Company hereby announces that (subject to the satisfaction, or waiver, of the New Financing Condition on or prior to the Settlement Date) it has decided to accept for purchase £414,693,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer.

Accrued Interest will also be payable in respect of any Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Following the Settlement Date, the Company intends to cancel the Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer and, accordingly, the Company will have repurchased and cancelled 92.15 per cent. of the nominal amount of the Notes. As a consequence, the 80 per cent. threshold as described in the Tender Offer Memorandum will have been met and it is the current intention of the Company to exercise its option under the terms and conditions of the Notes to redeem, following settlement of the Offer, all of the Notes that were not validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, at their principal amount together with any accrued and unpaid interest (including any outstanding Arrears of Interest (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Notes)) up to (but excluding) the redemption date. However, the Company is not under any obligation to make any such redemption and the Company's intention to do so may change at any time and for various factors existing at that time.

Settlement

Settlement of the Offer and payment of the Purchase Price and Accrued Interest in respect of the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer is expected to take place on 22 May 2024.

£35,307,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes will remain outstanding after the Settlement Date.
