All Offers to Exchange validly submitted to the Exchange Agent by the Early Expiration Deadline are accepted in full by the Issuer.
Holders whose Offers to Exchange are accepted will receive relevant New Notes in an amount (rounded down to the nearest £1,000 or €1,000, as applicable) equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Notes accepted for exchange multiplied by the relevant Exchange Ratio, subject to the requirement for each Holder to Offer to Exchange at least the relevant Minimum Existing Holding. Each such Holder will also be entitled to receive Accrued Interest on their Existing Notes so accepted for exchange.
In addition, Holders whose Offers to Exchange are accepted by the Issuer, will be required to make a cash payment (in sterling or euro, as applicable) of an amount equal to the relevant New Notes Accrued Interest Payment to the Issuer through the Clearing Systems on the Settlement Date, as further described in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.
If, as a result of the application of the relevant Exchange Ratio, a Holder would be entitled to receive New Notes which would have an aggregate principal amount that is not an integral multiple of £1,000 or €1,000, as applicable, the Issuer will pay, or procure that there is paid, the fractional portion as a Cash Rounding Amount to the relevant Holder on the Settlement Date.
Pricing of the New Notes
The New Notes will be issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's £50bn EMTN programme dated 4 June 2009 and are expected to be rated Aa3 (Moody's) / A+ (S&P) / AA- (Fitch).
The aggregate principal amount of each series of New Notes to be issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for the relevant Series of Existing Notes, and the pricing details thereof, are as follows:
