------

**Purpose of the Offers**

The purpose of the Offers is, amongst other things, to proactively manage the Issuer's layer of hybrid capital. The Offers also provide Noteholders with the opportunity to switch into the New Notes ahead of upcoming first call dates.

**New Financing Condition** 

The Issuer intends to issue new EUR denominated Undated 7.25 Year Non-Call Deeply Subordinated Guaranteed Fixed Rate Reset Securities guaranteed by the Guarantor (the "**New Notes**"). Whether the Issuer will accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered in the Offers is subject, without limitation, to the settlement of the issue of the New Notes (the "**New Financing Condition**").

**Purchase Price and Accrued Interest Payment**

Subject to the applicable Minimum Denomination in respect of the relevant Series of Notes, the price payable per EUR 100,000 in principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by the Issuer pursuant to the relevant Offer (the "**Purchase Price**") will be (a) in respect of the EUR Sep 2023 Notes, EUR 99,500.00 per EUR 100,000 and (b) in respect of the EUR Mar 2024 Notes, EUR 101,600.00 per EUR 100,000 in principal amount of Notes.

In respect of any Notes accepted for purchase, the Issuer will also pay an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest on the relevant Notes from, and including, the relevant interest payment date for the Notes immediately preceding the Settlement Date up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date, which is expected to be on 3 February 2023.

Notes repurchased by the Issuer pursuant to the Offers may be cancelled. Notes which have not been validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers will remain outstanding after the Settlement Date.

**Redemption under Issuer Call Right following a Substantial Purchase Event**

Under the Conditions of the Notes, in the event that the Issuer, the Guarantor, or any subsidiaries of the Guarantor, have purchased and cancelled at least (in the case of the EUR Sep 2023 Notes) 75 per cent. of the original aggregate principal amount of any of the Notes or (in the case of the EUR Mar 2024 Notes) 80 per cent. of the original aggregate principal amount of any of the Notes in accordance with the relevant Conditions (each, a "**Substantial Purchase Event**"), the Issuer may redeem the remaining relevant Notes (in whole but not in part) at their principal amount plus any interest accrued to, but excluding, the relevant day on which the relevant Notes become due for redemption and any Arrears of Interest (as defined in the Conditions) at any time upon giving not less than 30 and not more than 60 days' irrevocable notice of redemption to the Noteholders.

**Maximum Acceptance Amount and Series Acceptance Amount**

The Issuer proposes to accept Notes for purchase up to a maximum aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes (the "**Maximum Acceptance Amount**") on the terms and conditions contained in the Tender Offer Memorandum. However, the Issuer reserves the right to increase the Maximum Acceptance Amount should a Substantial Purchase Event occur in respect of any of the Notes and the Issuer may or may not exercise its call right upon the occurrence of a Substantial Purchase Event pursuant to the relevant Series of Notes at any time following the Offers. The Maximum Acceptance Amount will be announced on an indicative basis following the pricing of the New Notes.

Tenders of Notes may be pro-rated as set out in the Tender Offer Memorandum. Any adjustments to the indicative Maximum Acceptance Amount will be announced with the results of the Offers.

Subject to the Maximum Acceptance Amount, the Issuer will determine the Series Acceptance Amount in respect of each Series of Notes in its sole discretion, and reserves the right to accept significantly more or significantly less (or none) of any such Series of Notes (subject to pro rata scaling, if applicable) as compared to the other Series of Notes.

------

Notes validly submitted for tender may be accepted subject to pro-ration (if applicable). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of a Series of Notes represented by Tender Instructions is greater than the relevant Series Acceptance Amount, such Tender Instructions will be accepted on a pro rata basis.
