LLOYDS BANK PLC - PRICING OF ANY AND ALL TENDER OFFER

Lloyds Bank plc ("Lloyds Bank" or the "Offeror") is today announcing the pricing of its previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of certain series of outstanding U.S. dollar denominated notes (the "Any and All Notes") issued by Lloyds Bank plc and guaranteed by Lloyds Banking Group plc (the "Any and All Tender Offer"). The Any and All Tender Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Offer to Purchase dated 27 October 2016 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related notice of guaranteed delivery.

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Offer to Purchase.

The Reference Yield in respect of each Series of Any and All Notes was determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, today. The Any and All Consideration for each Series of Any and All Notes is based on the Reference Yield plus the Fixed Spread as set forth in the table below:

The Any and All Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on 3 November 2016 unless extended (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Any and All Expiration Deadline") or earlier terminated. Holders must validly tender and not withdraw their Any and All Notes on or prior to the Any and All Expiration Deadline in order to be eligible to receive the Any and All Consideration. Any and All Notes validly tendered may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Any and All Expiration Deadline, but not thereafter. In addition to the Any and All Consideration, Holders of Any and All Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Any and All Tender Offer will also receive on the Any and All Settlement Date accrued and unpaid interest on the Any and All Notes from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Any and All Settlement Date.

The Any and All Settlement Date is expected to be 8 November 2016.

If you are in any doubt as to the contents of this announcement or the Offer to Purchase or the action you should take, you are recommended to seek your own financial and legal advice, including as to any tax consequences, immediately from your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent financial or legal adviser. Any individual or company whose Any and All Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer, bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee or intermediary must contact such entity if it wishes to participate in the Any and All Tender Offer. None of the Offeror, the Dealer Managers or the Tender Agent make any recommendation as to whether holders should tender Any and All Notes pursuant to the Any and All Tender Offer.

Accordingly, the information contained in this announcement may not be used for any other purpose or disclosed to any other person in Belgium.

The Any and All Tender Offer is being carried out in the Republic of Italy ("Italy") as exempted offers pursuant to article 101-bis, paragraph 3-bis of the Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998, as amended (the "Financial Services Act") and article 35-bis, paragraph 4 of CONSOB Regulation No. 11971 of May 14, 1999, as amended (the "CONSOB Regulation").

Each intermediary must comply with the applicable laws and regulations concerning information duties vis-à-vis its clients in connection with the Any and All Notes or the Any and All Tender Offer.

Canada

Neither this announcement, the Offer to Purchase nor any other materials relating to the Any and All Tender Offer constitute, nor may be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation in any place where offers or solicitations are not permitted by law. Any offer or solicitation in Canada must be made through a dealer that is appropriately registered under the laws of the applicable province or territory of Canada, or pursuant to an exemption from that requirement.

General

The Any and All Tender Offer does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Any and All Notes in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities or other laws require the Any and All Tender Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and the Dealer Managers or, where the context so requires, any of its affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in that jurisdiction, the Any and All Tender Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Offeror by such Dealer Manager or affiliate in such jurisdiction.

The distribution of this announcement and the Offer to Purchase in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this announcement and the Offer to Purchase comes are required by each of the Offeror, the Dealer Managers and the Tender Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.

This announcement contains inside information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included in this announcement are forward-looking statements. We and the Group may make forward-looking statements in other documents filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into the Offer to Purchase. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as words "expect", "estimate", "project", "anticipate", "believes", "should", "could", 'intend", "plan", "probability", "risk", "target", "goal", "objective", "may", "endeavour", "outlook", "optimistic", "prospects" or by the use of similar expressions or variations on such expressions, or by the discussion of strategy or objectives. Forward-looking statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

In particular, this announcement and certain documents incorporated by reference into the Offer to Purchase include forward-looking statements relating, but not limited to, projections or expectations of LBG's future financial position including profit attributable to shareholders, provisions, economic profit, dividends, capital structure, portfolios, net interest margin, capital ratios, liquidity, risk-weighted assets (RWAs), expenditures or any other financial items or ratios; litigation, regulatory and governmental investigations; LBG's future financial performance; the level and extent of future impairments and write-downs; statements of plans, objectives or goals of LBG or its management including in respect of statements about the future business and economic environments in the U.K. and elsewhere including, but not limited to, future trends in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit and equity market levels and demographic developments; statements about competition, regulation, disposals and consolidation or technological developments in the financial services industry; and statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, certain of the market risk disclosures are dependent on choices about key model characteristics, assumptions and estimates, and are subject to various limitations. By their nature, certain of the market risk disclosures are only estimates and, as a result, actual future gains and losses could differ materially from those that have been estimated.

Other factors could also adversely affect our results or the accuracy of forward-looking statements in this announcement, and you should not consider the factors discussed here or in the Annual Report or other documents incorporated by reference into the Offer to Purchase to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. We have economic, financial market, credit, legal and other specialists who monitor economic and market conditions and government policies and actions. However, because it is difficult to predict with accuracy any changes in economic or market conditions or in governmental policies and actions, it is difficult for us to anticipate the effects that such changes could have on our financial performance and business operations.

The forward-looking statements made in this announcement speak only as of the date of this announcement. We do not intend to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this announcement and we do not assume any responsibility to do so, except as required by applicable law.
