Holding Company placed into administration

In reference to (i) the Project Agreement between University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire National Health Service Trust, Coventry Primary Care Trust (succeeded by Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust ("CWPT")) and The Coventry and Rugby Hospital Company PLC (the "Issuer") dated 3 December 2002, as amended from time to time, and (ii) the Collateral Deed between the Issuer, The Coventry and Rugby Hospital Company (Holdings) Limited, Mourant & Co. Capital Trustees Limited (succeeded by Apex Corporate Trustees (UK) Ltd) (as Security Trustee and Bond Trustee ) and MBIA Assurance S.A. (succeeded by Assured Guaranty (UK) Limited), dated 3 December 2002 as amended from time to time.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms have the same meaning as given to them in the Project Agreement and/or Collateral Deed (as applicable).

The Issuer has previously reported the accrual of Service Failure Points (RNS Number 2422O) and the partial termination notice issued by CWPT under the Project Agreement in so far as it relates to the Mental Health Unit (RNS Number 7541O).

As a consequence, Events of Default have occurred under the Collateral Deed and are continuing and therefore Assured Guaranty has directed the Security Trustee to enforce the security granted by Project Co's holding company (The Coventry and Rugby Hospital Company (Holdings) Limited) ("HoldCo") in order to effect the appointment of administrators to HoldCo. HoldCo owns 100% of the shares in the Issuer.

Rob Croxen and Mark Firmin of professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal, have been appointed as Joint Administrators.

Charles McLeod and Andrew Dixon have been appointed as directors of the Issuer.

The Issuer is not in Administration and continues to trade normally and services provided to the Acute Hospital remain unaffected
