Announcement relating to the implementation of the Remediation Plan and the total estimated costs of remediation

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the Noteholders that:

1) as previously notified to Noteholders in the notices dated 11 June 2019 and 26 June 2019, the Noteholders of each Class of Notes approved and passed certain extraordinary resolutions (the Extraordinary Resolutions) in connection with the (i) implementation of the remediation plan proposed by the Issuer (the Remediation Plan), 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);

2) since the approval and passing of the Extraordinary Resolutions, the Remediation Plan has been finalised and both Deloitte LLP (Deloitte) and Link Financial Outsourcing Limited (LFO) have commenced with the implementation of the Remediation Plan, which is expected to be completed by the end of October 2019;

3) the Issuer has been advised that, as at 31 August 2019, the estimated total net impact of remediation on the structure is currently expected to be approximately GBP3.9m (excluding all implementation and advisory costs and any historical costs of the structure), of which approximately GBP2.51m is expected to be in the way of cash refunds to affected borrowers or the Authority, as the case may be and GBP1.35m is expected to be in the way of adjustments to the account balances of affected borrowers;

4) the estimates stated herein are calculated as at 31 August 2019, but will increase as a result of effluxion of time between 31 August 2019 and the actual date on which a particular loan account is remediated and/or the Authority is paid; and

5) once the remediation plan has been completed, the Issuer will publish a notice setting out (i) all of the amounts paid out of the Settlement Account relating to the costs of the remediation, including all costs relating to the implementation of the remediation plan and the reimbursement of any historical costs of the structure, and (ii) the remaining balance of the Settlement Account. As per the Extraordinary Resolutions, the remaining balance of the Settlement Account is to be held for a period of 36 months (the Reserve Period) to be used to meet any potential future liability, costs, claims, expenses or losses to the Honours structure as a result of any borrower and/or the Authority making any claim or demand or taking any action against the Issuer and/or the Purchaser in connection with the Remediation Plan or arising as a result of the non-compliance issues in relation to the CCA, and after the Reserve Period to be released down the waterfall in due course.

Capitalised terms in this notice shall, except where the context otherwise requires and save where otherwise defined herein, bear the meanings ascribed to them in the Transaction Master Definitions and Framework Deed between, inter alios, the Issuer and the Security Trustee dated 10 November 2006, copies of which are available for inspection during usual business hours at the offices of the Issuer set out below.
