TRADING IN ORDINARY SHARES BY THE ISSUER AND ITS AFFILIATES

The SEC has granted exemptive relief from Rules 101 and 102 of Regulation M in connection with certain distributions of securities
qualifying as Additional Tier 1 Capital under U.K.CRD. This exemptive relief permits certain transactions in ordinary shares underlying such securities, including ordinary shares represented by American depositary shares (“ADSs”),
by issuers and affiliated purchasers, including those acting as distribution participants, during a distribution of such securities.

As a
result, we and our affiliates may continue to engage, including during the offering of the Securities, in one or more market activities involving our ordinary shares and ADSs. These market activities have occurred and are expected to continue to
occur both outside and inside the United States, solely in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of facilitating the distribution of the Securities. In addition, our affiliates may, under certain circumstances, participate in the
offering of the Securities.
