Appendix 2 Businesses outlined for disposal

 

To comply with EC State Aid requirements the Group agreed to make a series of divestments by the end of 2013: the disposal of RBS Insurance, Global Merchant Services and its interest in RBS Sempra Commodities JV. The Group also agreed to dispose of its RBS England and Wales and NatWest Scotland branch-based businesses, along with certain SME and corporate activities across the UK ('UK branch-based businesses'). The disposals of Global Merchant Services and RBS Sempra Commodities JV businesses have now effectively been completed.

 

The sale of the Group's UK branch-based businesses to Santander UK plc continues to make good progress. Due to the complex nature of the process required to separate the divesting branches and associated assets, and the desire to minimise customer disruption, the transaction is now expected to complete in the second half of 2012, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions.

 

Preparations for the disposal of RBS Insurance, by way of public flotation or a trade sale, targeted for the second half of 2012 continue. External advisors were appointed during Q4 2010 and the process of separation is proceeding on plan. In the meantime, the business continues to be managed and reported as a separate core division.
