This Deed is dated 22 June  2020
PARTIES
(1)LLOYDS BANK PLC whose registered office is at 25 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7HN (the “Employer”); and
(2)William Chalmers (the “Executive”)
BACKGROUND
  
(A)The Employer and the Executive entered into a Service Agreement dated 15 March 2019 (the “Agreement”). 
(B)Under clause 4.1 of the Agreement the Employer is obliged to pay a contribution of 25% (“the Original Rate”) of the Executive’s annual salary either into the Employer’s Your Tomorrow Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”) for the benefit of the Executive (“the Pension Contribution”), or, if the Executive has chosen to opt out of the Scheme or cap pension contributions to the Scheme, as a non-pensionable cash supplement (“the Pension Supplement”) to the Executive.


(C)The Parties have agreed that the percentage Pension Contribution or Pension Supplement payable by the Employer under clause 4.1 of the Agreement for the 2020 year onwards is 15% (“the New Rate”).


(D)Taking into account payments already made by the Employer for 2020 at the Original Rate, the Parties have agreed that the rate payable by the Employer for the remaining months of 2020 will need to be lower than the New Rate, depending on how many months of 2020 have been paid at the Original Rate, so that the total Pension Contribution or Pension Supplement paid by the Employer for 2020 is 15% of the Executive’s annual salary for 2020.


(E)The Parties wish to confirm their agreement by entering this Deed.
