Meeting of the Series 2018-1 Covered Bondholders

The Meeting was held earlier today, and NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the Series 2018-1 Covered Bondholders that, at the Meeting in respect of the Series 2018-1 Covered Bonds the Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed and the Eligibility Condition was satisfied, and accordingly the Amended and Restated Series 2018-1 Final Terms, the Amended and Restated Series 2018-1 Term Advance, the Supplemental Trust Deed, the Supplemental Agency Agreement and the Series 2018-1 Swap Amendment Agreement (the Amendment Documents) relating to the Series 2018-1 Covered Bonds will be executed on or about the 26 March 2020 (the Pricing Date) and the amendments will be effective on and from 9 April 2020.

Summary of Modifications to the Conditions

Pursuant to the terms of the Extraordinary Resolution, the Series 2018-1 Covered Bonds (the Modified Bonds) will be modified so that, instead of the Interest Basis being LIBOR, the Interest Basis will now be SONIA:

 
(a)  The Rate of Interest for the Series 2018-1 Covered Bonds 
      from and including 9 April 2020 (with the first Interest 
      Amount based on such new Rate of Interest being paid on 
      the Interest Payment Date occurring on 9 July 2020) will 
      continue to be a floating rate and will be SONIA plus an 
      adjustment margin plus a spread as specified in the Amended 
      and Restated Series 2018-1 Final Terms (the Adjusted Margin). 
      For the avoidance of doubt, the Interest Amount being paid 
      on the Interest Payment Date occurring on 9 April 2020 will 
      be linked to LIBOR. 
(b)  The Adjusted Margin is the sum of 0.22 per cent. and the 
      LIBOR vs SONIA Interpolated Basis calculated on the Pricing 
      Date (0.20%) and the Adjusted Margin has been set at 0.42%.
