(1)  The proceeds you might expect to receive if you were able to resell the Notes on the Issue Date are expected to be less than the issue price.  This is because the issue price includes the selling agent’s commission set forth above and also reflects certain hedging costs associated with the Notes.  For additional information, see “Risk Factors — The issue price of the notes has certain built-in costs, including the selling agent’s commission and our cost of hedging, both of which are expected to be reflected in secondary market prices” on page S-3 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.  The issue price also does not include fees that you may be charged if you buy the Notes through your registered investment advisers for managed fee-based accounts.
 
(2)  The Selling Agent may retain all or a portion of this commission or use all or a portion of this commission to pay selling concessions or fees to other dealers.  See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution” on page S-26 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Survivor’s Option Payment Date:  Subject to limitations, each February 15 and August 15 of each calendar year.  See “Risk Factors — Any Survivor’s Option may be limited in amount, and any repayments made with respect to the exercise of a Survivor’s Option will not be made immediately” and “Description of the Survivor’s Option” starting on page S-6 and page S-17, respectively, in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
 
Interest Payment Dates:  Interest on the Notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on the 21st day of each June and December (each an “Interest Payment Date”) beginning on (and including) December 21, 2012 and ending on  the Maturity Date or the Survivor’s Option Payment Date, if applicable.  For additional information see “Description of the Notes and the Guarantees — Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts Due” starting on page S-10 in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
 
If an Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or the Survivor’s Option Payment Date, if applicable, for any Note is not a business day (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement), principal, premium, if any, and interest for that Note will be paid on the next business day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of such payments made on the next business day.
 
Any payments due on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the creditworthiness of Lloyds Bank, as the Issuer, and LBG, as the Guarantor of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes. A leading rating agency has placed certain of the Issuer's ratings, including its long-term ratings, under review for a downgrade (in accordance with its review of the ratings of Western European banks in general), and according to an announcement by that rating agency dated April 13, 2012, the review of the UK banks placed under review may be concluded before the end of June 2012. Such rating action may therefore fall on a date between the date hereof and the date of delivery of the Notes.  There can however be no assurance as to the actual timing of the conclusion of such review or any such rating action.
