This announcement and the Exchange Offer Memorandum contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Exchange Offer. If you are in any doubt as to the contents of this announcement or the Exchange Offer Memorandum or the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own financial and legal advice, including as to any tax consequences, immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial or legal adviser.
OFFER RESTRICTIONS
The Exchange Offer Memorandum does not constitute an offer or an invitation to participate in the Exchange Offer in any jurisdiction in or from which, or to any person to whom, it is unlawful to make such offer or invitation under applicable laws. The distribution of the Exchange Offer Memorandum in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession the Exchange Offer Memorandum comes are required by each of the Issuer, the Lloyds Banking Group Companies, the Dealer Managers and the Exchange Agents to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.
No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Issuer, the Lloyds Banking Group Companies, the Dealer Managers or the Exchange Agents that would constitute a public offering of the New Notes other than the preparation of the Exchange Offer Memorandum in compliance with articles 652a and 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations for purposes of making the Exchange Offer in Switzerland. The Exchange Offer comprises an offer of securities to the public for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive. However, no action is required to be taken under the Prospectus Directive in connection with such offer as holders must Offer to Exchange at least the relevant Minimum Existing Holding (as defined herein).
United States
The Exchange Offer is not being made, and will not be made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by use of the mail of, or by any means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce of or of any facilities of a national securities exchange of, the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act). This includes, but is not limited to, facsimile transmission, electronic mail, telex, telephone and the internet and other forms of electronic communication. Accordingly, copies of the Exchange Offer Memorandum and any other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offer are not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly, mailed or otherwise transmitted, distributed or forwarded (including without limitation, by custodians, nominees or trustees) in or into the United States or to U.S. persons and the Existing Notes cannot be Offered for Exchange by any such use, means, instruments or facilities or from within the United States or by U.S. persons. Any purported Offer to Exchange Existing Notes resulting directly or indirectly from a violation of these restrictions will be invalid, and any purported Offer to Exchange made by a U.S. person, a resident of the United States or from the United States or from any agent, fiduciary or other intermediary acting on a non-discretionary basis for a principal giving instructions from within the United States or for a U.S. person will be invalid and will not be accepted.
The Exchange Offer Memorandum is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States or to U.S. persons. The Existing Notes and the New Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of U.S. persons. The purpose of the Exchange Offer Memorandum is limited to the Exchange Offer, and the Exchange Offer Memorandum may not be sent or given to any person other than in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Each holder of Existing Notes participating in the Exchange Offer will represent that it is participating in the Exchange Offer in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and that it is not participating in the Exchange Offer from the United States nor is it a U.S. person or an agent, fiduciary or other intermediary acting on a non-discretionary basis for a principal giving instructions from within the United States or for a U.S. person.
European Economic Area
In any EEA Member State that has implemented Directive 2003/71/EC (together with any applicable implementing measures in any Member State, the "Prospectus Directive"), the Exchange Offer Memorandum is only addressed to and is only directed at qualified investors in that Member State within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive.
The Exchange Offer Memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of New Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area ("EEA"), which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to produce an Exchange Offer Memorandum for offers of New Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make any offer within the EEA of New Notes which are the subject of the offer contemplated in the Exchange Offer Memorandum may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or the Dealer Managers to produce an Exchange Offer Memorandum pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement an Exchange Offer Memorandum pursuant to and in accordance with Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither the Issuer nor the Dealer Managers have authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer (i) of any New Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or the Dealer Managers to publish or supplement an Exchange Offer Memorandum for such offers; or (ii) of New Notes through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the Dealer Manager which constitute the offering of the New Notes contemplated in the Exchange Offer Memorandum.
Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any New Notes under the offer contemplated in the Exchange Offer Memorandum will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with each Dealer Manager and each Lloyds Banking Group Company that:
(a) it is a qualified investor within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive; and
(b) in the case of any New Notes acquired by it as a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the New Notes acquired by it in the offers have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, as that term is defined in the Prospectus Directive, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the Dealer Managers has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where the New Notes have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those New Notes to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.
For the purposes of this representation, the expression an "offer" in relation to any New Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any New Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the New Notes, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Australia
No prospectus or other disclosure document (as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (the "Australian Corporations Act")) in relation to the Exchange Offer or any Existing Notes or New Notes has been, or will be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission ("ASIC") and the Exchange Offer Memorandum does not comply with either Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Australian Corporations Act. Each Dealer Manager has represented and agreed that, it:
(a) has not made or invited, and will not make or invite, an offer of the New Notes for issue or sale in Australia (including an offer or invitation which is received by a person in Australia); and
(b) has not distributed or published, and will not distribute or publish, the Exchange Offer Memorandum or any other offering material or advertisement relating to the New Notes in Australia.
unless:
(i) the aggregate consideration payable by each offeree is at least A$500,000 (or its equivalent in an alternative currency and disregarding monies lent by the Issuer or its associates) or the offer or invitation does not otherwise require disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Australian Corporations Act;
(ii) the offer or invitation does not constitute an offer to a "retail client" for the purposes of section 761G of the Australian Corporations Act;
(iii) such action complies with any other applicable laws, regulations and directives in Australia; and
(iv) such action does not require any document to be lodged with ASIC.
Each person who accesses or views the Exchange Offer Memorandum will be deemed to have represented to each Lloyds Banking Group Company and the Dealer Managers that it is not located or resident in Australia or, if it is located or resident in Australia, it is a professional investor as defined in section 9 of the Australian Corporations Act or a wholesale client as defined in section 761G of the Australian Corporations Act or otherwise a person to whom an offer may be made without disclosure under Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Australia Corporations Act.
Canada
The Exchange Offer Memorandum is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of the securities referred to herein in Canada. No securities commission or similar authority in Canada has reviewed or in any way passed upon the Exchange Offer Memorandum or the merits of the securities described herein and any representation to the contrary is an offence.
Any distribution of the New Notes in Canada is being made on a private placement basis only and is exempt from the requirement that the Issuer prepare and file a prospectus with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities. The Issuer currently does not intend to file a prospectus or similar document with any securities regulatory authority in Canada qualifying the resale of any New Notes to the public in any province or territory of Canada. Accordingly, any resale of such securities must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws, which may require resales to be made in accordance with prospectus and registration requirements or exemptions therefrom; these resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales outside of Canada. Canadian holders of New Notes are advised to seek legal advice prior to any resale of such securities.
Each Canadian holder of Existing Notes who Offers to Exchange any or all such Existing Notes for New Notes will be deemed to have represented to each Lloyds Banking Group Company and the Dealer Managers that:
(a) it acknowledges the resale restrictions described above;
(b) where required by law, it is acting as principal, or is deemed to be acting as principal in accordance with applicable securities laws of the Province or Territory in which it is resident, for its own account and not as agent for the benefit of another person;
(c) it, or any ultimate holder for which it is acting as agent, is entitled under applicable Canadian securities laws to exchange its Existing Notes for New Notes without the benefit of a prospectus qualified under such securities laws, is an "accredited investor" as defined in section 1.1 of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus and Registration Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), and is not a person created or used solely to purchase or hold the New Notes as an "accredited investor" as described in paragraph (m) of the definition of "accredited investor" in section 1.1 of NI 45-106;
(d) any trade (including an Offer to Exchange) in the Existing Notes or the New Notes is through a dealer that is appropriately registered in the relevant Canadian jurisdiction or pursuant to an exemption from the dealer registration requirements under applicable Canadian securities laws;
(e) it has been notified that the Issuer may be required to provide certain personal information pertaining to it as required to be disclosed in Schedule I of Form 45-106F1 under NI 45-106 (including its name, address, telephone number and the number and value of the securities acquired), which Form 45-106F1 may be required to be filed by the Issuer under NI 45-106; and
(f) it acknowledges that its name, address, telephone number and other specified information may be disclosed to other Canadian securities regulatory authorities and may become available to the public in accordance with the requirements of applicable Canadian laws. By its Offer to Exchange any or all of its Existing Notes, each Canadian holder of Existing Notes will consent to the disclosure of such information and; it further acknowledges that (i) such personal information may be delivered to the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") in accordance with NI 45-106; (ii) such personal information is collected indirectly by the OSC under the authority granted to it under the securities legislation of Ontario; (iii) such personal information is collected for the purposes of the administration and enforcement of the securities legislation of Ontario; (iv) the public official in Ontario who can answer questions about the OSC's indirect collection of such personal information is the Administrative Support Clerk at the OSC, Suite 1903, Box 55, 20 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3S8, Telephone: (416) 593-3684; and each such holder has authorised the indirect collection of the personal information by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities.
Italy
Neither the Exchange Offer Memorandum nor any other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offer have been or will be submitted to the clearance procedure of the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa ("CONSOB") pursuant to Italian laws and regulations, and therefore the Exchange Offer may only be made or promoted, directly or indirectly, in or into the Republic of Italy pursuant to an exemption from the rules governing public purchases or exchange offers (offerte pubbliche di acquisto o scambio) as defined in article 1, paragraph 1, letter v of the Italian Legislative Decree no. 58 of 24 February 1998, as amended (the "Financial Services Act").

Belgium
Neither the Exchange Offer Memorandum nor any other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offer have been submitted to or will be submitted for approval or recognition to the Financial Services and Markets Authority ("Autorité des services et marches financiers / Autoriteit financiële diensten en markten") and, accordingly, the Exchange Offer may not be made in Belgium by way of a public offering, as defined in Articles 3 and 6 of the Belgian Law of 1 April 2007 on public takeover bids or as defined in Article 3 of the Belgian Law of 16 June 2006 on the public offer of placement instruments and the admission to trading of placement instruments on regulated markets, both as amended or replaced from time to time. Accordingly, the Exchange Offer may not be advertised and the Exchange Offer will not be extended, and neither the Exchange Offer Memorandum nor any other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offer (including any memorandum, information circular, brochure or any similar documents) has been or shall be distributed or made available, directly or indirectly, to any person in Belgium other than "qualified investors" in the sense of Article 10 of the Belgian Law of 16 June 2006 on the public offer of placement instruments and the admission to trading of placement instruments on regulated markets, acting on their own account.

Accordingly, the information contained in the Exchange Offer Memorandum may not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any other person in Belgium.

Each Exchange Agent is the agent of the Issuer and owes no duty to any holder. None of the Lloyds Banking Group Companies, the Dealer Managers, the Trustee or the Exchange Agents makes any recommendation as to whether or not holders should participate in the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Existing Notes and/or the New Notes in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities or other laws require the Exchange Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and either of the Dealer Managers or, where the context so requires, any of their respective affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in that jurisdiction, the Exchange Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Lloyds Banking Group Companies by such Dealer Manager or affiliate (as the case may be) in such jurisdiction.
