Announcement relating to Consent Solicitation

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the Noteholders that:

1) on 10 June 2019, the meetings of each class of Noteholders were held at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP at 65 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1HS to obtain consent from the holders of each class of Notes through the passing of certain extraordinary resolutions (the Extraordinary Resolutions) in connection with the (i) implementation of the remediation plan proposed by the Issuer, and (ii) release and application of the cash paid by Capita Customer Management Limited (Capita) to the Issuer in full and final settlement of any claims the Issuer may have against Capita for certain regulatory breaches, standing to the credit of a separate account of the Issuer (the Settlement Account) (together, the Proposals);

2) at such meetings of each Class of Noteholders, the holders of the Class A1 Notes, the Class A2 Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class E Notes approved and passed the Extraordinary Resolutions;

3) with respect to the meetings of the holders of the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes, the requisite quorum was not present and accordingly the meetings of the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes were adjourned by the Chairman of the meetings for a period of not fewer than 14 days and not more than 42 days in accordance with the terms of the Note Trust Deed and rescheduled to be held at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP at 65 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1HS on 25 June 2019 at the time specified in the relevant notice of adjourned meeting, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolutions which will be proposed as Extraordinary Resolutions (as set out in each notice of adjourned meeting of the holders of the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes).

5) the implementation of the Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of each Class of Notes is conditional on the passing of the Extraordinary Resolutions of all Classes of Notes.

NOTICE OF A MEETING

of the holders (the "Class B Noteholders") of those of the

GBP33,350,000 Class B Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2029

of the Issuer presently outstanding

(the "Class B Notes")

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a meeting (the "Meeting") of the Class B Noteholders convened by the Issuer was held at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP at 65 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1HS at 2.15 p.m. (London time) on 10 June 2019 for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the following resolutions which were proposed as Extraordinary Resolutions (to be passed as Basic Terms Modifications) in accordance with the provisions of the Note Trust Deed dated 10 November 2006 (the "Note Trust Deed") made between the Issuer and Deutsche Trustee Company Limited (the "Note Trustee") as trustee for the Class B Noteholders and constituting the Class B Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Note Trust Deed the Issuer convened separate meetings of Noteholders of each Class of Notes for each meeting to consider the Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of such Class of Notes, which if passed by all Classes of Notes, would approve the Proposals (as defined below).

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the requisite quorum was not present and the Meeting was adjourned by the Chairman of the Meeting for a period of not fewer than 14 days and not more than 42 days in accordance with the terms of the Note Trust Deed and rescheduled to be held at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP at 65 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1HS at 2.15 p.m. (London time) on 25 June 2019 for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the following resolutions which will be proposed as Extraordinary Resolutions (to be passed as Basic Terms Modifications). The required quorum at the adjourned Meeting will be two or more Noteholders present in person holding Class B Notes and/or persons present in person holding Voting Certificates and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than 25 per cent. in Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class B Notes for the time being outstanding (as defined in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed).

Terms used but not otherwise defined in these Extraordinary Resolutions shall have the meaning given in the Note Trust Deed, the Conditions or the Consent Solicitation Memorandum."

Background to Extraordinary Resolutions

The Extraordinary Resolutions are being proposed in connection with the Consent Solicitation.

The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to invite Noteholders from each Class of Notes to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Extraordinary Resolutions in connection with the:

(a) implementation of a remediation plan proposed by the Issuer, as more fully described in the section entitled "Remediation Plan and Release of Settlement Amount" of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (with such amendments as the Issuer may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable from time to time) (the "Remediation Plan"); and

(b) release and application of the cash standing to the credit of the Settlement Account (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) in the manner contemplated in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and the Extraordinary Resolutions,

(together, the "Proposals").

Full details of the background to, and the reasons for, the implementation of the Proposals and the Extraordinary Resolutions are contained in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, copies of which are available upon request from the Issuer or Tabulation Agent, the contact details for which are set out below. In order to receive a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, a Noteholder will be required to provide confirmation as to his or her status as an eligible Noteholder.

General

The attention of Noteholders is particularly drawn to the procedures for voting, quorum and other requirements for the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution at a Meeting or any meeting held following any adjournment of any Meeting, which are set out in "Voting and Quorum" below (see in particular paragraph 6). Having regard to such requirements, Noteholders are strongly urged either to attend the relevant Meeting or to take steps to be represented at such Meeting (including by way of submitting Consent Instructions) as soon as possible.

Copies of this Notice, the Note Trust Deed (including the Conditions of the Notes), the Deed of Charge and the draft Settlement Account Agreement referred to in the Extraordinary Resolutions set out above and of certain other relevant documents will be available for inspection at the specified offices of the Paying Agents and the Tabulation Agent set out below.

Approval of the Extraordinary Resolutions with respect to the Class A1 Notes, the Class A2 Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class E Notes (as described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) has been obtained. Subject to the approval of the Extraordinary Resolutions with respect to the Class D Notes at an adjourned meeting of the holders of the Class D Notes, the Extraordinary Resolutions, if approved as described above, will be implemented as soon as reasonably practicable after the announcement via the Clearing Systems and the Irish Stock Exchange website of the results of the adjourned Meetings in respect of the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes, that all of the Extraordinary Resolutions have been approved by each of the Classes of Noteholders.

In accordance with normal practice, the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee express no opinion as to the merits of the Consent Solicitation (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) or the Proposals (as defined above) (which they were not involved in negotiating). They have, however, authorised it to be stated that, on the basis of the information set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (which they recommend the Class B Noteholders to read carefully) and in this Notice, it has no objection to the Extraordinary Resolutions referred to above being submitted to the Class B Noteholders for their consideration. The Note Trustee and the Security Trustee have not been involved in formulating the Consent Solicitation, the Extraordinary Resolutions or the Proposals and make no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to the Class B Noteholders in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and this Notice. Accordingly, the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee urge the Class B Noteholders who are in any doubt as to the impact of the implementation of the Extraordinary Resolutions to seek their own independent legal and financial advice.

By submitting or delivering a duly completed Consent Instruction to the relevant Clearing System, a Class B Noteholder instructs the Principal Paying Agent to appoint the Tabulation Agent as proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting in favour of or against the Extraordinary Resolutions. The terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum are without prejudice to the right of a Class B Noteholder to attend and vote at the Meeting as set out in this Notice and in the Note Trust Deed.

Voting and Quorum

1. The provisions governing the convening and holding of a Meeting are set out in Schedule 5 (Provisions for Meetings of Noteholders) to the Note Trust Deed, a copy of which is available for inspection by the Noteholders during normal business hours at the respective specified offices of the Paying Agents and the Tabulation Agent set out below.

2. All of the Notes of each Class are represented by a global note of the relevant Class held by a common depositary for Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear"). For the purposes of the Meeting, a "Noteholder" shall mean each person who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular principal amount outstanding of the relevant Class of Notes.

3. A Noteholder wishing to attend the relevant Meeting in person must produce at that Meeting a valid Voting Certificate issued by a Paying Agent relating to the relevant Class of Notes in respect of which it wishes to vote.

4. A Noteholder not wishing to attend and vote at the relevant Meeting in person may either deliver its valid Voting Certificate(s) to the person whom he wishes to attend on his behalf or give a voting instruction (by giving his electronic voting instructions (a "Consent Instruction")) to Clearstream, Luxembourg and/or Euroclear instructing a Paying Agent to appoint Wilmington Trust (London) Limited (the "Tabulation Agent") to attend and vote at the Meeting in accordance with his instructions.

5. A Noteholder must request the relevant clearing system to block the relevant Notes in his own account and to hold the same to the order or under the control of a Paying Agent not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the relevant Meeting in order to obtain Voting Certificates or to give Consent Instructions in respect of the relevant Meeting. Notes of the relevant Class so blocked will not be released until the earlier of:

   (a)        in respect of Voting Certificate(s): 

(i) the conclusion of the relevant Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjournment of the relevant Meeting); and

(ii) the surrender of the Voting Certificate(s) to the Paying Agent who issued the same and the notification by such Paying Agent to the relevant clearing system of such surrender or the compliance in such other manner with the rules of the relevant clearing system; and

   (b)        in respect of Consent Instructions: 

(i) the date on which the Consent Solicitation is terminated by the Issuer (provided that such termination is more than 48 hours before the time set for the relevant Meeting);

(iii) the conclusion of each of the Meetings of the Class A1 Noteholders, Class A2 Noteholders, Class B Noteholders, Class C Noteholders, Class D Noteholders, and the Class E Noteholders (or, if applicable, any adjournment of any of the Meetings).

6.

If a quorum is not present at the relevant Meeting, such Meeting will be adjourned for a period of not fewer than 14 days and not more than 42 days and the Extraordinary Resolutions will be considered at an adjourned Meeting (notice of which will be given to the relevant Noteholders). The quorum at such an adjourned Meeting will be two or more Noteholders present in person holding Notes of the relevant Class and/or persons present in person holding Voting Certificates and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than 25 per cent. in Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes of the relevant Class for the time being outstanding (as defined in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed).

7. Voting Certificates and Consent Instructions given in respect of the relevant Meeting (unless surrendered or, as the case may be, revoked at least 48 hours prior to any adjourned Meeting) shall remain valid for such adjourned Meeting.

8. Every question submitted to the relevant Meeting will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is duly demanded by the Chairman of that Meeting, the Issuer or one or more Noteholders holding one or more Notes of the relevant Class and/or persons holding Voting Certificates and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than 5 per cent. of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes of the relevant Class then outstanding (as defined in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed). On a show of hands every person who is present in person and produces a Voting Certificate or is a proxy shall have one vote. On a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each GBP50,000 principal amount of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Class of Notes represented by the Voting Certificate so produced or in respect of which that person is a proxy.

9. To be passed at a Meeting, each Extraordinary Resolution requires a majority of not less than three-fourths of the persons voting at the relevant Meeting upon a show of hands or if a poll is duly demanded by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast on such poll. If passed by a Class of Noteholders, the Extraordinary Resolutions shall be binding on all Noteholders of the relevant Class, whether present or not at the relevant Meeting at which it is passed and whether or not voting. However, the Proposals will only be implemented if the Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of all Classes of Notes are approved.

Pursuant to the terms of the Note Trust Deed the Issuer convened separate meetings of Noteholders of each Class of Notes for each meeting to consider the Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of such Class of Notes, which if passed by all Classes of Notes, would approve the Proposals (as defined below).

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the requisite quorum was not present and the Meeting was adjourned by the Chairman of the Meeting for a period of not fewer than 14 days and not more than 42 days in accordance with the terms of the Note Trust Deed and rescheduled to be held at the offices of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP at 65 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1HS at 2.25 p.m. (London time) on 25 June 2019 for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the following resolutions which will be proposed as Extraordinary Resolutions (to be passed as Basic Terms Modifications). The required quorum at the adjourned Meeting will be two or more Noteholders present in person holding Class D Notes and/or persons present in person holding Voting Certificates and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than 25 per cent. in Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class D Notes for the time being outstanding (as defined in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed).

Voting Certificates and Consent Instructions given in respect of the Meeting (unless surrendered or, as the case may be, revoked at least 48 hours prior to any adjourned Meeting) shall remain valid for such adjourned Meeting. Accordingly, for the avoidance of doubt, the Class D Notes of the Class D Noteholders who previously cast votes in respect of the Extraordinary Resolutions in accordance with the terms of a block voting instruction and which were blocked, will remain blocked until the conclusion of the adjourned meeting of the holders of the Class D Notes, unless the relevant Class D Noteholder revokes its vote by submitting a valid revocation instruction to the relevant clearing system in accordance with the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (as defined below).

Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used but not defined in this Notice shall have the meaning given in the Note Trust Deed, the terms and conditions of the Notes (the "Conditions"), the consent solicitation memorandum dated 17 May 2019 from the Issuer addressed to the Noteholders (the "Consent Solicitation Memorandum") or the Extraordinary Resolutions, as applicable.

Terms used but not otherwise defined in these Extraordinary Resolutions shall have the meaning given in the Note Trust Deed, the Conditions or the Consent Solicitation Memorandum."

Background to Extraordinary Resolutions

The Extraordinary Resolutions are being proposed in connection with the Consent Solicitation.

The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to invite Noteholders from each Class of Notes to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Extraordinary Resolutions in connection with the:

(a) implementation of a remediation plan proposed by the Issuer, as more fully described in the section entitled "Remediation Plan and Release of Settlement Amount" of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (with such amendments as the Issuer may consider necessary, appropriate or desirable from time to time) (the "Remediation Plan"); and

(b) release and application of the cash standing to the credit of the Settlement Account (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) in the manner contemplated in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and the Extraordinary Resolutions,

(together, the "Proposals").

Full details of the background to, and the reasons for, the implementation of the Proposals and the Extraordinary Resolutions are contained in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, copies of which are available upon request from the Issuer or Tabulation Agent, the contact details for which are set out below. In order to receive a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, a Noteholder will be required to provide confirmation as to his or her status as an eligible Noteholder.

General

The attention of Noteholders is particularly drawn to the procedures for voting, quorum and other requirements for the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution at a Meeting or any meeting held following any adjournment of any Meeting, which are set out in "Voting and Quorum" below (see in particular paragraph 6). Having regard to such requirements, Noteholders are strongly urged either to attend the relevant Meeting or to take steps to be represented at such Meeting (including by way of submitting Consent Instructions) as soon as possible.

Copies of this Notice, the Note Trust Deed (including the Conditions of the Notes), the Deed of Charge and the draft Settlement Account Agreement referred to in the Extraordinary Resolutions set out above and of certain other relevant documents will be available for inspection at the specified offices of the Paying Agents and the Tabulation Agent set out below.

Approval of the Extraordinary Resolutions with respect to the Class A1 Notes, the Class A2 Notes, the Class C Notes and the Class E Notes (as described in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) has been obtained. Subject to the approval of the Extraordinary Resolutions with respect to the Class D Notes at an adjourned meeting of the holders of the Class D Notes, the Extraordinary Resolutions, if approved as described above, will be implemented as soon as reasonably practicable after the announcement via the Clearing Systems and the Irish Stock Exchange website of the results of the adjourned Meetings in respect of the Class B Notes and the Class D Notes, that all of the Extraordinary Resolutions have been approved by each of the Classes of Noteholders.

In accordance with normal practice, the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee express no opinion as to the merits of the Consent Solicitation (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) or the Proposals (as defined above) (which they were not involved in negotiating). They have, however, authorised it to be stated that, on the basis of the information set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum (which they recommend the Class D Noteholders to read carefully) and in this Notice, it has no objection to the Extraordinary Resolutions referred to above being submitted to the Class D Noteholders for their consideration. The Note Trustee and the Security Trustee have not been involved in formulating the Consent Solicitation, the Extraordinary Resolutions or the Proposals and make no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to the Class D Noteholders in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum and this Notice. Accordingly, the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee urge the Class D Noteholders who are in any doubt as to the impact of the implementation of the Extraordinary Resolutions to seek their own independent legal and financial advice.

By submitting or delivering a duly completed Consent Instruction to the relevant Clearing System, a Class D Noteholder instructs the Principal Paying Agent to appoint the Tabulation Agent as proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting in favour of or against the Extraordinary Resolutions. The terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum are without prejudice to the right of a Class D Noteholder to attend and vote at the Meeting as set out in this Notice and in the Note Trust Deed.

Voting and Quorum

1. The provisions governing the convening and holding of a Meeting are set out in Schedule 5 (Provisions for Meetings of Noteholders) to the Note Trust Deed, a copy of which is available for inspection by the Noteholders during normal business hours at the respective specified offices of the Paying Agents and the Tabulation Agent set out below.

2. All of the Notes of each Class are represented by a global note of the relevant Class held by a common depositary for Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear").

5. A Noteholder must request the relevant clearing system to block the relevant Notes in his own account and to hold the same to the order or under the control of a Paying Agent not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the relevant Meeting in order to obtain Voting Certificates or to give Consent Instructions in respect of the relevant Meeting. Notes of the relevant Class so blocked will not be released until the earlier of:

   (a)        in respect of Voting Certificate(s): 

(i) the conclusion of the relevant Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjournment of the relevant Meeting); and

(ii) the surrender of the Voting Certificate(s) to the Paying Agent who issued the same and the notification by such Paying Agent to the relevant clearing system of such surrender or the compliance in such other manner with the rules of the relevant clearing system; and

   (b)        in respect of Consent Instructions:

If a quorum is not present at the relevant Meeting, such Meeting will be adjourned for a period of not fewer than 14 days and not more than 42 days and the Extraordinary Resolutions will be considered at an adjourned Meeting (notice of which will be given to the relevant Noteholders). The quorum at such an adjourned Meeting will be two or more Noteholders present in person holding Notes of the relevant Class and/or persons present in person holding Voting Certificates and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than 25 per cent. in Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes of the relevant Class for the time being outstanding (as defined in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed).

7. Voting Certificates and Consent Instructions given in respect of the relevant Meeting (unless surrendered or, as the case may be, revoked at least 48 hours prior to any adjourned Meeting) shall remain valid for such adjourned Meeting.

8. Every question submitted to the relevant Meeting will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is duly demanded by the Chairman of that Meeting, the Issuer or one or more Noteholders holding one or more Notes of the relevant Class and/or persons holding Voting Certificates and/or being proxies and being or representing in the aggregate the holders of not less than 5 per cent. of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Notes of the relevant Class then outstanding (as defined in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed). On a show of hands every person who is present in person and produces a Voting Certificate or is a proxy shall have one vote. On a poll every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each GBP50,000 principal amount of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Class of Notes represented by the Voting Certificate so produced or in respect of which that person is a proxy.

9. To be passed at a Meeting, each Extraordinary Resolution requires a majority of not less than three-fourths of the persons voting at the relevant Meeting upon a show of hands or if a poll is duly demanded by a majority consisting of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast on such poll. If passed by a Class of Noteholders, the Extraordinary Resolutions shall be binding on all Noteholders of the relevant Class, whether present or not at the relevant Meeting at which it is passed and whether or not voting. However, the Proposals will only be implemented if the Extraordinary Resolutions in respect of all Classes of Notes are approved.
