Neither this Notice nor the Consent Solicitation Memorandum constitute or form part of, and should be construed as, an offer for sale, exchange or subscription of, or a solicitation of any offer to buy, exchange or subscribe for, any securities of the Issuer or any other entity.

Persons into whose possession the Consent Solicitation Memorandum comes are required to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.

BACKGROUND

The Bank of Scotland plc's EUR 60 billion covered bond programme (the Programme) was established in the United Kingdom, in 2003. Bank of Scotland plc was registered as a regulated covered bond issuer in 2008, and all covered bonds issued under this Programme are regulated covered bonds as per the Regulated Covered Bond Regulations (the RCB Regulations).

The Programme previously only permitted Hard Bullet Covered Bonds to be issued. Hard Bullet Covered Bonds require all amounts representing the Final Maturity Amount to be repaid on the Final Maturity Date. Failure to make payments results in an HBOS Event of Default and an LLP Event of Default.

Given the inefficiencies of Hard Bullet Covered Bonds, more recently established covered bond programmes have included the option for a “soft bullet” maturity structure (as described below). In line with this and as part of the Issuer’s on-going balance sheet management, the Issuer, acting pursuant to an Extraordinary Resolution approved by a single meeting of all Covered Bondholders in December 2012, has updated its Programme to include the soft bullet maturity structure and the Conditions and the Transaction Documents were accordingly amended and restated to incorporate the relevant amendments to include this feature to apply in respect of any Covered Bonds that specified the soft bullet maturity structure in their Final Terms.

In the case of soft bullet Covered Bonds, if the Issuer fails to pay the Final Redemption Amount of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds on the Final Maturity Date (subject to the applicable grace period), payments of principal representing the Final Redemption Amounts to be made on the Final Maturity Date may be deferred one year later until an extended final maturity date (the Extended Due for Payment Date). On the Final Maturity Date a notice to pay (a Notice to Pay) is served on the LLP by the Bond Trustee and if the Guaranteed Amounts equal to the Final Redemption Amount of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds are not paid in full by the Final Maturity Date (for example because, following service of a Notice to Pay, the LLP has insufficient moneys available in accordance with the priority of payments to pay in full such amounts), then an HBOS Event of Default will occur and payment of the unpaid portion of the Final Redemption Amount pursuant to the Covered Bond Guarantee shall be automatically deferred (without an LLP Event of Default occurring as a result of such non-payment) or acceleration of the Covered Bonds.

The unpaid portion of the Final Redemption Amount shall be due and repayable one year later on the Extended Due for Payment Date (subject to the applicable grace period) and the LLP shall, to the extent it has the funds available to it during such extension period (subject to amounts being applied in the Guarantee Priority of Payments) pay such unpaid portion of the Final Redemption Amount in whole or in part only on any Original Due for Payment Date up until the Extended Due for Payment Date. Interest will continue to accrue and be payable on the unpaid portion of the Final Redemption Amount in accordance with the Conditions at a floating rate as specified in the applicable Final Terms. The LLP will pay the Guaranteed Amounts constituting Scheduled Interest on each Original Due for Payment Date and on the Extended Due for Payment Date. A failure to pay the Guaranteed Amounts equal to the Final Redemption Amount on the Extended Due for Payment Date (subject to the applicable grace period) will constitute an LLP Event of Default.

The Proposed Amendments incorporate the inclusion in the applicable Final Terms of the Extended Due for Payment Date and related provisions to allow for soft bullet maturity structure which shall then be applicable in relation to a Series of Covered Bonds. Copies of each draft Amended and Restated Final Terms, the Swap Amendment Agreement and the draft Supplemental Trust Deed (together the Documents), as referred to in the Extraordinary Resolutions above, have been reviewed by each of Fitch Ratings Limited (Fitch), Standard and Poor's Financial Services (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service Limited (Moody's). Fitch, S&P and Moody's have, based on the information provided to them, raised no comments in respect of the draft Documents, and each of Fitch, S&P and Moody's is expected to publish a press release shortly after the date of this Notice confirming that entry into the Documents will not, in and of themselves and at this time, result in the downgrade or withdrawal of the credit ratings assigned by it to the Covered Bonds.

COVERED BONDHOLDER PROPOSAL

Pursuant to the above, the Issuer has convened separate Meetings by the above notice to request that Covered Bondholders of each Series consider and agree by Extraordinary Resolution to the matters contained in the relevant Extraordinary Resolutions set out below.

Each Extraordinary Resolution, if passed, constitutes (amongst others) a direction by the Covered Bondholders of each Series to the Bond Trustee and the Security Trustee to consent to and to concur with the following amendments to the Final Terms and the Trust Deed to implement relevant changes in respect of the relevant Series to create “soft bullet” bonds (instead of Hard Bullet Covered Bonds) with (i) an Extended Due for Payment Date of the specified Interest Payment Date falling on or nearest to the date which is twelve (12) calendar months after the Final Maturity Date for such Series and (ii) interest payable in respect of the relevant Covered Bonds from (and including) the Extension Date in respect of the relevant Series (if applicable) to (but excluding) the Extended Due for Payment Date (or, if earlier, the date on which the Final Redemption Amount, as defined in the Conditions, is paid in full) monthly in arrears and determined by reference to the sum of one-month EURIBOR or one month CIBOR, as applicable and a Margin, all as more fully set out in the Amended and Restated Final Terms, together with such consequential amendments and documents (including amendments to the related Covered Bond Swap) as may be necessary to give effect thereto, the Covered Bondholder Proposal.

The Covered Bondholder Proposal is being put to Covered Bondholders for the reasons set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

Covered Bondholders are referred to the Consent Solicitation Memorandum which provides further background to the Covered Bond Proposals and the reasons therefor.

In order to receive a copy of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, a Covered Bondholder will be required to provide confirmation as to his or her status as an Eligible Covered Bondholder.

Ineligible Holder Payment

Any Covered Bondholder who is either (i) a U.S. person and/or located or resident in the United States and/or (ii) a person to whom the relevant Consent Solicitation cannot otherwise be lawfully made (each an Ineligible Covered Bondholder) may be eligible, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, to receive an equivalent amount to any applicable Early Participation Fee (which is an amount equal to 0.05 per cent. of the principal amount of the Covered Bonds that are the subject of the relevant Ineligible Holder Instruction (as defined below)) (the Ineligible Holder Payment).

To be eligible for the Ineligible Holder Payment, an Ineligible Covered Bondholder must deliver, or arrange to have delivered on its behalf, a valid Ineligible Holder Instruction that is received by the Tabulation Agent by 4 p.m. (London time) (5 p.m. (CET)) on 21 July 2015 (the Ineligible Instruction Deadline) and is not subsequently revoked.

Only Ineligible Covered Bondholders may submit Ineligible Holder Instructions and be eligible to receive the Ineligible Holder Payment. By delivering, or arranging for the delivery on its behalf, of an Ineligible Holder Instruction in accordance with the procedures described below, a Covered Bondholder shall be deemed to agree, acknowledge and represent to the Issuer, the Tabulation Agent and the Solicitation Agents that it is an Ineligible Covered Bondholder. Eligibility for the Ineligible Holder Payment is subject in each case to the relevant Extraordinary Resolution being passed at the relevant Meeting (or any adjourned such Meeting) and subsequently implemented by the Issuer.

Where payable, Ineligible Holder Payments are expected to be paid by the Issuer to the relevant Ineligible Covered Bondholders no later than the third Business Day from the Implementation Date following the applicable Meeting at which the Extraordinary Resolution is passed and the Eligibility Condition is satisfied for the relevant Series (unless any adjourned Meeting is required, in which case such payments are expected to be made on or around the third business day following the Implementation Date following the relevant adjourned Meeting at which the Extraordinary Resolution is passed and the Eligibility Condition is satisfied for the relevant Series).

By submitting an Ineligible Holder Instruction by the Ineligible Instruction Deadline, an Ineligible Covered Bondholder will instruct the Principal Paying Agent to appoint one or more representatives of the Tabulation Agent as their proxy to attend the relevant Meeting (and any adjourned such Meeting) and vote in the manner specified or identified in such Ineligible Holder Instruction in respect of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution.

Submission of Ineligible Holder Instructions

In respect of any Covered Bonds held through Euroclear Bank SA/NV (Euroclear) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg), the submission of Ineligible Holder Instructions will be deemed to have occurred upon receipt by the Tabulation Agent from Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, of a valid instruction (an Ineligible Holder Instruction) submitted in accordance with the requirements of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable. Each such Ineligible Holder Instruction must specify, among other things, the aggregate principal amount of the Covered Bonds of the relevant Series to which such Ineligible Holder Instruction relates, the securities account number at Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, in which the relevant Covered Bonds are held and whether the Ineligible Covered Bondholder wishes to instruct the Principal Paying Agent to appoint one or more representatives of the Tabulation Agent to attend the relevant Meeting (and any adjourned such Meeting) and vote in favour of or against the relevant Extraordinary Resolution. The receipt of such Ineligible Holder Instruction by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, will be acknowledged in accordance with the standard practices of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, and will result in the blocking of the relevant Covered Bonds in the relevant Ineligible Covered Bondholder's account with Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, so that no transfers may be effected in relation to such Covered Bonds until the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Ineligible Holder Instruction is validly revoked (including their automatic revocation on the termination of the related Consent Solicitation) and (ii) the conclusion of the relevant Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjourned such Meeting).

Only Direct Participants (as defined under "Voting and Quorum" below) may submit Ineligible Holder Instructions.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The attention of Covered Bondholders is particularly drawn to the quorum required for the Covered Bondholders Meetings and for any adjourned Meeting which is set out in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of “Voting and Quorum" below. Having regard to such requirements, Covered Bondholders are strongly urged either to attend the Meeting or to take steps to be represented at the Meeting, as referred to below, as soon as possible.

VOTING AND QUORUM

The provisions governing the convening and holding of the Meeting are set out in the fourth schedule to the Trust Deed, a copy of which is available for inspection by the Covered Bondholders during normal business hours at the specified offices of the Principal Paying Agent on any weekday (public holidays excepted) and in the Data Room up to and including the date of the Meetings and at the Meetings.

All of the Covered Bonds are represented by a global Covered Bond and are either: (i) held by a common depositary or common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg); or (ii) held in custody by Danske Bank A/S as a depositary, and registered in VP Securities A/S (VPS). For the purpose of the Meetings, a Covered Bondholder shall mean each person who is for the time being shown in the records of VPS or Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular Principal Amount Outstanding of the Covered Bonds.

A Covered Bondholder wishing to attend the relevant Meeting in person must produce at the Meeting a valid voting certificate issued by the Principal Paying Agent relating to the Covered Bond(s) in respect of which it wishes to vote. A Covered Bondholder who wishes to attend the relevant Meeting in person will not be eligible to receive the Early Participation Fee.

Any Covered Bondholder who wishes to vote in respect of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution but does not wish to attend the relevant Meeting in person should: (i) in the case of a beneficial owner whose Covered Bonds are held in book-entry form by a custodian, request such beneficial owner’s custodian to vote on the relevant Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 4 – Procedures in connection with the Consent Solicitations of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, or (ii) in the case of a Covered Bondholder whose Covered Bonds are held in book-entry form directly in the relevant Clearing System, vote on the relevant Extraordinary Resolution in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 4 – Procedures in connection with the Consent Solicitations of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

Covered Bondholders should note that the timings and procedures set out below reflect the requirements for Covered Bondholders’ meetings set out in the Trust Deed, but that the Clearing Systems and the relevant intermediaries may have their own additional requirements as to timings and procedures for voting on the relevant Extraordinary Resolution. Accordingly, Covered Bondholders wishing to vote in respect of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution are strongly urged either to contact their custodian (in the case of a beneficial owner whose Covered Bonds are held in book-entry form by a custodian) or the relevant Clearing System (in the case of a Covered Bondholder whose Covered Bonds are held in book-entry form directly in the relevant Clearing System), as soon as possible.

The quorum at any Meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution which constitutes a Series Reserved Matter shall (subject as provided below) be one or more persons present holding or representing Covered Bonds or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in aggregate not less than two-thirds of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds for the time being outstanding. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes (or such longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the chairman may decide) after the time fixed for a Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned for such period being not less than 13 clear days nor more than 42 clear days, and to such place as may be appointed by the chairman of the meeting and approved by the Bond Trustee. In addition, in the event that the quorum required for, and the requisite majority of votes cast at, the relevant Meeting is satisfied but the Eligibility Condition in respect of such Meeting is not satisfied, the chairman of the relevant Meeting and the Bond Trustee will adjourn the relevant Meeting for such period being not less than 13 clear days nor more than 42 clear days, and to such place as may be appointed by the chairman of the Meeting and approved by the Bond Trustee. The Extraordinary Resolution will be considered at an adjourned Meeting (notice of which will be given to the Covered Bondholders of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds). At any adjourned Meeting, one or more persons present holding Definitive Covered Bonds or voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and holding or representing in aggregate not less than one-third of the aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds shall (subject as provided below) form a quorum and shall have the power to pass the Extraordinary Resolution.
To be passed at the relevant Meeting, the Extraordinary Resolution requires (a) a majority in favour consisting of not less than three-fourths of the persons voting thereat 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; or (b) a resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of Covered Bondholders holding not less than fifty per cent. in Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds, which resolution in writing may be contained in one document or in several documents in like form each signed by or on behalf of one or more of the relevant Series of Covered Bondholders. The question submitted to the Meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands unless a poll is (before, or on the declaration of, the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman of the Meeting, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Bond Trustee or any person present holding a Definitive Covered Bond or a voting certificate or being a proxy or representative (whatever the Principal Amount Outstanding of the relevant Series of Covered Bonds so held or represented by him) a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution. In respect of the outstanding Covered Bonds of the relevant Series which are not denominated in Sterling, the Principal Amount Outstanding of such Covered Bonds shall be the equivalent in Sterling at the relevant Covered Bond Swap Rate. In such circumstances, on any poll each person present shall have one vote for each £1 (or such other Sterling amount as the Bond Trustee may in its absolute discretion stipulate) of the Principal Amount Outstanding of the Covered Bonds of the relevant Series (converted as above) which it holds or represents.
The implementation of each Consent Solicitation and the related Extraordinary Resolution will be conditional on:
the passing of the relevant Extraordinary Resolution; and
the quorum required for, and the requisite majority of votes cast at, the relevant Meeting being satisfied by Eligible Covered Bondholders, irrespective of any participation at the relevant Meeting by Ineligible Covered Bondholders (including the satisfaction of such condition at an adjourned Meeting) (the Eligibility Condition),

(together, the Consent Conditions).

If passed, the Extraordinary Resolution passed at the Meeting will be binding upon all the Covered Bondholders of the relevant Series and upon all Receiptholders and Couponholders of the relevant Series whether or not present or voting at the Meeting.
