THE EXCHANGE OFFER (AS DEFINED BELOW) WILL EXPIRE AT 11:59 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON DECEMBER 21, 2015 (SUCH TIME AND

BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE APPLICABLE EXCHANGE CONSIDERATION SPECIFIED HEREIN, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EARLY

OLD NOTES (AS DEFINED BELOW) TENDERED MAY BE VALIDLY WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME BEFORE 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON

EXTENDED, THE "WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE").
Lloyds Banking Group plc (the "Offeror"), on behalf of HBOS plc and Lloyds Bank plc, is offering to exchange, on the terms and conditions
described in this Exchange Offer Memorandum, (i) any and all outstanding 6.50% Fixed Rate Lower Tier 2 Notes due 2020 issued by Lloyds Bank plc
and guaranteed by the Offeror (the "2020 Old Notes") for Subordinated Debt Securities due 2025 issued by Offeror (the "2025 New Notes") (the "2025
Exchange Offer"), and (ii) any and all outstanding 6.00% Subordinated Notes due 2033 issued by HBOS plc (the "2033 Old Notes" and, together with the
2020 Old Notes, the "Old Notes") for 5.300% Subordinated Debt Securities due 2045 (the "2045 New Notes" and, together with the 2025 New Notes, the
"New Notes") issued by the Offeror (the "2045 Exchange Offer" and, together with the 2025 Exchange Offer, the "Exchange Offer"). The 2045 New




Notes will constitute a further issuance of, form a single series with, and have the same CUSIP numbers as the Offeror's 5.300% Subordinated Debt
Securities due 2045, which are expected to be issued on December 1, 2015 (the "2045 Original Notes").
The 2025 New Notes will mature on December 10, 2025 and will bear interest at a rate per annum (the "2025 New Notes Coupon") equal to the sum
of (a) the bid-side yield on the 2.25% U.S. Treasury Security due November 15, 2025 (the "2025 New Notes Reference Security"), as calculated by the
Dealer Managers in accordance with standard market practice, that equates to the bid-side price of the 2025 New Notes Reference Security, as of the
Pricing Time (as defined below), as displayed on the Bloomberg Reference page PX1 (or any recognized quotation source selected by the Dealer
Managers if such quotation report is not available or manifestly erroneous) plus (b) a fixed spread of 235 basis points, such sum rounded to the third
decimal place when expressed as a percentage.
The aggregate principal amount of 2045 New Notes a holder of the 2033 Old Notes will be eligible to receive will reference the 2045 New Notes
Value. The 2045 New Notes Value will equal the discounted value on the Early Settlement Date (as defined below) of the remaining payments of
principal and interest (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Early Settlement Date) per $1,000 principal amount of the 2045 New
Notes through the maturity date of the 2045 New Notes, using a yield equal to the sum, as calculated by the Dealer Managers, of (a) the bid-side yield on
the 2.875% U.S. Treasury Security due August 15, 2045, as of the Pricing Time, as displayed on the Bloomberg Reference page PX1 (or any recognized
quotation source selected by the Dealer Managers if such quotation report is not available or manifestly erroneous) plus (b) a fixed spread of 230 basis
points. The 2045 New Notes Value will be rounded to the nearest cent per $1,000 principal amount of 2045 New Notes.
The 2045 New Notes Exchange Ratio is equal to (1) the Total Exchange Consideration or the Exchange Consideration, as the case may be, divided
by (2) the 2045 New Notes Value multiplied by (3) $1,000. Such amount represents the aggregate principal amount of 2045 New Notes a holder will be
eligible to receive for each $1,000 of 2033 Old Notes tendered in the 2045 Exchange Offer and accepted by the Offeror.
In order to encourage holders to tender early, for each $1,000 principal amount of the Old Notes validly tendered on or before the Early Participation
Date and not validly withdrawn, holders will be eligible to receive the applicable Exchange Consideration and the applicable Early Participation Payment
set out in the table above. Holders who validly tender after the Early Participation Date, will only be eligible to receive the applicable Exchange
Consideration.
The 2025 Exchange Offer is subject to a minimum new issue size of at least $500 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 New Notes
being validly issued pursuant to the 2025 Exchange Offer. The 2045 Exchange Offer is subject to the issuance of the 2045 Original Notes, which is
expected to occur on December 1, 2015. In addition, each Exchange Offer is subject to (i) the Tax Fungibility Condition (as described in "The Exchange
Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer--Exchange Offer Conditions--Tax Fungibility Condition") and (ii) certain other conditions set out under "The
Exchange Offer--Terms of the Exchange Offer--Exchange Offer Conditions".
Holders must tender Old Notes in minimum tender amounts such that the New Notes issued will be in minimum denominations of $200,000 and
integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Offeror may extend, re-open, amend, limit, waive any condition of, or terminate the Exchange Offer at any time (subject to applicable
law and except as expressly provided herein). Details of any such extension, re-opening, amendment, limitation, waiver (if permitted) or
termination will be announced wherever applicable as provided in this Exchange Offer Memorandum as soon as reasonably practicable after the
relevant decision is made. For more information, see "The Exchange Offer".
Questions and requests for assistance in connection with (i) the Exchange Offer may be directed to BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Goldman, Sachs &
Co., Lloyds Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the "Dealer Managers") and (ii) the
delivery of Exchange Instructions (as defined herein) may be directed to Lucid Issuer Services Limited (the "Exchange Agent"), as applicable, the contact
details for whom are on the back cover page of this Exchange Offer Memorandum.
Before deciding whether to exchange your Old Notes for New Notes, you are encouraged to read and carefully consider this Exchange Offer
Memorandum (including the documents incorporated by reference herein) in its entirety. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 16 for a
discussion of risk factors that you should consider prior to deciding whether to tender your Old Notes in the Exchange Offer.
We have not registered the New Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws. The New
Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. The New Notes are being offered for exchange only (1) to "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("QIBs"), in a private transaction in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and (2) outside the United States, to persons other than "U.S. persons" as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities
Act in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Only holders of Old Notes who have completed and returned
an eligibility certification are authorized to receive and review this Exchange Offer Memorandum and to participate in the Exchange Offer.
We will agree to file a registration statement relating to an exchange offer for, or the resale of, the New Notes. See "Registration Rights".
We do not intend to list the New Notes on any securities exchange. We intend to apply to list the Exchange Notes (as defined herein), once issued,
on the New York Stock Exchange in accordance with its rules. See "Registration Rights--General".
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the
Exchange Offer or the securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this Exchange Offer
Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

"Exchange Instruction"). See "The Exchange Offer--Procedures for Participating in the Exchange Offer".
If you are a beneficial owner of Old Notes that are held by or registered in the name of a bank, broker, custodian
or other nominee, and you wish to participate in the Exchange Offer, you must promptly contact your bank, broker,
custodian or other nominee to instruct it to tender your Old Notes, to agree to the terms of the Exchange Offer and to

required for the issue of the New Notes.
Old Notes can be tendered in the Exchange Offer only in accordance with the procedures described in "The
Exchange Offer--Procedures for Participating in the Exchange Offer". Holders who do not participate in the
Exchange Offer, or whose Old Notes are not accepted for purchase, will continue to hold their Old Notes.
This Exchange Offer does not constitute an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell either
Old Notes or New Notes in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to
make such offer or solicitation under applicable securities laws or otherwise. The distribution of this Offer to

such restrictions. This Exchange Offer Memorandum may not be used for or in connection with an offer or

acquisition of the New Notes.

certification are authorized to receive and review this Exchange Offer Memorandum and to participate in the

considerations that should be considered carefully in evaluating the Exchange Offer.
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Exchange Offer Memorandum to a "holder" or
"holder of the Old Notes" include:
(a) each person who is shown in the records of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg" and,
together with DTC and Euroclear, the "Clearing Systems" and each a "Clearing System") as a holder of the
Old Notes (also referred to as "Direct Participants" and each a "Direct Participant");
(b) any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian who holds Old Notes;
and
(c) each beneficial owner of Old Notes holding such Old Notes, directly or indirectly, in accounts in the name
of a Direct Participant acting on the beneficial owner's behalf,
except that for the purposes of the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the payment of any
cash payments, to the extent the beneficial owner of the relevant Old Notes is not a Direct Participant, the relevant
New Notes and any cash payments will only be delivered and paid to the relevant Direct Participant and the delivery
of such New Notes and payment of cash payments to such Direct Participant will satisfy any obligations of LBG, the
Exchange Agent and the relevant Clearing System in respect of the exchange of such Old Notes.
The Offeror is not providing for guaranteed delivery procedures and therefore you must allow sufficient time
for the necessary tender procedures to be completed during normal business hours of the Clearing Systems prior to
the Early Participation Date or the Expiration Deadline, as the case may be. Tenders received by the Exchange
Agent after the Expiration Deadline may be disregarded and of no effect.

See "Risk Factors", beginning on page 16 for a description of certain factors relating to a decision to
tender your Old Notes in the Exchange Offer, including information about our business.
The terms of the New Notes will be substantially different from those of the Old Notes, including, among
others, the coupon, interest payment dates and maturity date. Investors should carefully consider these differences in
deciding whether to tender Old Notes for exchange in connection with the Exchange Offer.
Neither the Offeror nor its representatives are making any representation to you regarding the legality of
participation in the Exchange Offer by you under applicable legal investment or similar laws. You should consult
with your own advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a decision whether to tender your
Old Notes in the Exchange Offer.

All references in this Exchange Offer Memorandum to a "cash payment" or "cash payments" payable on the
applicable Settlement Date of the Exchange Offer with respect to a series of Old Notes include (i) any accrued and
unpaid interest payments on such series of Old Notes from and including the latest interest payment date for such
series of Old Notes through, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date, and (ii) any cash amounts in lieu of
any fractional New Notes that a tendering holder of Old Notes would have otherwise been entitled to receive. Any
cash amounts payable pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be rounded to the nearest U.S.$ 0.01, with U.S.$ 0.005,
being rounded upwards.
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this Exchange Offer
Memorandum to the exchange of Old Notes for New Notes include all cash payments made in connection with the
exchange of such Old Notes for New Notes.
The New Notes will be available initially only in book-entry form, represented in one or more global securities
registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. You will hold beneficial interests in the New Notes through DTC and
its direct and indirect participants, including Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, and DTC and its direct and
indirect participants will record your beneficial interest on their books.
We do not intend to list the New Notes on any securities exchange. We intend to apply to list the Exchange
Notes, once issued, on the New York Stock Exchange in accordance with its rules. See "Registration Rights--
General".

`intends', `aims', `potential', `will', `would', `could', `considered', `likely', `estimate' and variations of these words
