The Delayed Settlement Offers expired at 10.00 a.m., London time, on 24 August 2011 (the Delayed Settlement Note Expiration Deadline). As at the Delayed Settlement Note Expiration Deadline, the aggregate nominal amount of each Delayed Settlement Series set out in the final column of the above table had been validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Delayed Settlement Offers. IL&P has decided to accept for purchase all Delayed Settlement Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Delayed Settlement Offers. Settlement of the Delayed Settlement Offers is expected to take place on 26 August 2011.

Separately, the Meetings to consider the Delayed Settlement Proposals were held earlier today, and NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to Noteholders that:

(a) at the Meetings in respect of each Delayed Settlement Series other than the EUR18,000,000 Index Linked Notes due August 2011 (ISIN: XS0133963024), the relevant Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed and the relevant Delayed Settlement Proposal approved (each Delayed Settlement Series in respect of which the relevant Extraordinary Resolution was passed together being the Approved Delayed Settlement Series);

(b) in respect of each Approved Delayed Settlement Series, the Supplemental Trust Deed has been entered into by IL&P and the Trustee in order to give effect to the relevant Delayed Settlement Proposals, and the Conditions of each such Approved Delayed Settlement Series have been amended accordingly;

(c) IL&P hereby exercises the Issuer Call in respect of each Approved Delayed Settlement Series, and all Delayed Settlement Notes of each Approved Delayed Settlement Series remaining outstanding on completion of the Delayed Settlement Offers will be redeemed on 26 August 2011 at the optional redemption amount of 0.001 per cent. of the nominal amount of the relevant Delayed Settlement Notes (with no amount being payable in respect of interest accrued thereon); and

(d) at the Meeting in respect of the EUR18,000,000 Index Linked Notes due August 2011 (ISIN: XS0133963024), the quorum required for the relevant Extraordinary Resolution to be considered was not achieved and accordingly the relevant Delayed Settlement Proposal was not approved. Those of the EUR18,000,000 Index Linked Notes due August 2011 (ISIN: XS0133963024) not accepted for purchase by IL&P pursuant to the relevant Delayed Settlement Offer will therefore remain outstanding, subject to their existing Conditions.
