PART VII OF THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AND MARKETS ACT 2000
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that by a Part 8 claim form dated 24 March 2011, Bank of Scotland plc and Lloyds TSB Bank plc applied to the High Court of
Justice for an Order under section 111 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “Act”) sanctioning a scheme (the “Scheme”) for the transfer to Lloyds TSB Bank plc of the Customer Relationships (as defined in the Scheme) of Bank of Scotland plc,
and for the making of ancillary provisions in connection with the implementation of the Scheme under section 112 of the Act.
Bank of Scotland plc is a wholly owned subsidiary of HBOS plc which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lloyds TSB Bank plc.
The Customer Relationships to be transferred pursuant to the Scheme comprise each of those customers within the major corporate
and financial institution part of Bank of Scotland’s Corporate Markets deposit-taking and lending business who will have been
notified that their entire banking relationship is to be so transferred. Such business will include all applicable third
party guarantees and other forms of security which will therefore be transferred to Lloyds TSB Bank plc pursuant to the Scheme.
The application is directed to be heard before the Companies Court Judge at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London WC2A
2LL on 24 May 2011. Any person (including any customer of Bank of Scotland plc or Lloyds TSB Bank plc) who considers that
he or she would be adversely affected by the carrying out of the Scheme may appear at the time of the hearing in person or
by Counsel. Any person who intends so to appear, or who dissents from the Scheme but does not intend so to appear, is requested
to give not less than three clear days’ prior notice in writing of such intention or dissent, and the reasons therefor, to
Hogan Lovells International LLP, the solicitors for Bank of Scotland plc and Lloyds TSB Bank plc (Ref: C4JDB).
