Notice of Partial Redemption of Bonds at the Option of the Issuer

This notice is in respect of the Notes which are constituted by the trust deed dated 18 October 2013 (the Trust Deed) between the Issuer, A2Dominion Housing Group Limited as Guarantor and M&G Trustee Company Limited (formerly Prudential Trustee Company Limited) as Trustee. All words and expressions defined in the Trust Deed shall have the same meaning herein.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN pursuant to Condition 13 (Notices) of the Notes that, pursuant to Condition 7.3 (Redemption at the Option of the Issuer) of the Notes, the Issuer intends to redeem GBP75,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds (the Prepayment Bonds) on 18 April 2022.

The redemption will be on a pro-rata basis and will result in the principal balance, to which each Bondholder is entitled on final redemption and on which the last coupon payment will accrue, being reduced by 50%. The redemption price payable in respect of the Prepayment Bonds will be calculated in accordance with Condition 7.3 (Redemption at the Option of the Issuer) of the Notes, being the higher of par and the amount (calculated by a Nominated Financial Adviser) which is equal to the principal amount of the Prepayment Bonds multiplied by the price at which at which the Gross Redemption Yield on the Prepayment Bonds (if the Prepayment Bonds were to remain outstanding until their original maturity) on the Determination Date (being 13 April 2022) would be equal to the sum of (i) the Gross Redemption Yield at 3:00pm (London time) on the Determination Date of the Benchmark Gilt and (ii) 0.50%.

The mid price of the 1 3/4 % Treasury Gilt 2022 will be used as the Benchmark Gilt. The Issuer intends (subject to the approval of the Trustee) to appoint Allia C&C (a brand name of City & Continental Limited) of Cheyne House, Crown Court, 62-63 Cheapside, London EC2V 6AX as the Nominated Financial Adviser (pursuant to Condition 7.3 (Redemption at the Option of the Issuer)).

A payment of interest is also due on the full amount of Bonds on 18 April 2022.

Following the early redemption of the Prepayment Bonds, GBP75,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds will remain outstanding.
