re: Notice
of Redemption
Redemption of 3.870% Senior
Callable Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Notes due 2025
Lloyds Banking Group plc
$1,500,000,000 3.870% Senior Callable Fixed-to-Fixed Rate
Notes due 2025 (CUSIP: 53944YAL7, ISIN: US53944YAL74, Common
Code: 212218812)
May 23, 2024. Lloyds Banking
Group plc (the "Group") announces that it has issued a notice of
redemption for the entire outstanding principal amount of its 3.870
% Senior Callable Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Notes due 2025
(the "Notes"). A notice of redemption pursuant to the terms of
the Senior Debt Securities Indenture dated July 6, 2010 as amended
and supplemented by the Eleventh Supplemental Indenture dated April
9, 2020 governing the Notes (the "Indenture) has been distributed to The Bank of New York
Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Trustee (the
"Trustee").
The outstanding Notes will be redeemed on July 9, 2024 (the
"Redemption
Date") at an amount equal to
100% of their principal amount, together with any accrued but
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the
"Redemption
Price"). Accordingly, the
listing of the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange will be
cancelled on, or shortly after, July 9, 2024.
The location where Holders may surrender the Notes and obtain
payment of the Redemption Price is The Bank of New York Mellon,
London Branch, 160 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4LA, United
Kingdom, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration,
Email: corpsov4@bnymellon.com
On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and
payable and interest on the Notes will cease to accrue. Before the
Redemption Date, the Group will irrevocably deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay
the total Redemption Price of each of the Notes. When the Group
makes such a deposit, all rights of holders of the Notes will
cease, except the holders' rights to receive the Redemption Price,
but without interest, and the Notes will no longer be
outstanding.

failed internal or external processes or systems; risks relating to
ESG matters, such as climate change (and achieving climate change
ambitions) and decarbonisation, including the Group's ability along

rights issues; the impact of competitive conditions; failure to
