OFFERING MEMORANDUM

STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Lloyds Banking Group plc

U.S.$500,000,000 5.300% Subordinated Debt Securities due 2045

The U.S.$500,000,000 5.300% Subordinated Debt Securities due 2045 (the "Subordinated Notes") will bear interest at a rate of 5.300% per year.
From and including the date of issuance, interest will be paid on the Subordinated Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1,
2016. The Subordinated Notes will be due on December 1, 2045.
The Subordinated Notes will be issued in denominations of $200,000 and in multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The Subordinated Notes will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and subordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any
preference among themselves and ranking junior in right of payment to the claims of any existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness. In a winding up, all amounts due in respect of or arising under (including any damages awarded for breach of any obligations under) the
Subordinated Notes will be subordinated to, and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of, all claims of all Senior Creditors (as
defined herein).
Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the
Subordinated Notes, by purchasing and acquiring the Subordinated Notes in this Offering Memorandum or otherwise purchasing or
acquiring the Subordinated Notes, each holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Subordinated Notes acknowledges, accepts, agrees to
be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power (as defined below) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may
result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes; (ii) the
conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes into shares or other securities or other
obligations of the Issuer or another person; and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Subordinated Notes, or
amendment of the amount of interest due on the Subordinated Notes, or the dates on which interest becomes payable, including by
suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the
Subordinated Notes solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. bail-in power. With respect to
(i), (ii) and (iii) above, references to principal and interest shall include payments of principal and interest that have become due and payable
(including principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date), but which have not been paid, prior to the exercise of any U.K.
bail-in power. Each holder and beneficial owner of the Subordinated Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders
and/or beneficial owners under the Subordinated Notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of
any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.
For these purposes, a "U.K. bail-in power" is any write-down and/or conversion power existing from time to time under any laws,
regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms
incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the Issuer and the Group, including but not limited to
any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements which are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of a European Union
directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit
institutions and investment firms and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime under the Banking Act as the same has been or may be
amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the Banking Reform Act 2013, secondary legislation or otherwise), pursuant to which
obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled,
amended, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (and a reference to the
"relevant U.K. resolution authority" is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. bail-in power).
By its acquisition of the Subordinated Notes, each holder and beneficial owner of the Subordinated Notes, to the extent permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), waives any and all claims against the Trustee (as defined below) for, agrees not to
initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains
from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to
the Subordinated Notes.
We may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest
(if any) (i) upon the occurrence of certain tax events or (ii) upon occurrence of certain regulatory events, subject to the conditions described in this
Offering Memorandum. See "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Conditions to Redemption and Repurchases" in this Offering Memorandum.
Investing in the Subordinated Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 18 of this Offering Memorandum and as
incorporated by reference herein.
By its purchase of the Subordinated Notes, each holder and beneficial owner shall also be deemed to have (i) consented to the exercise of any
U.K. bail-in power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power with
respect to the Subordinated Notes and (ii) authorized, directed and requested The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and any direct participant in
DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Subordinated Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise
of any U.K. bail-in power with respect to the Subordinated Notes as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such
holder or beneficial owner or the Trustee.
We have not registered the Subordinated Notes under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities
laws, and is only offering Subordinated Notes to qualified institutional buyers within the meaning of and in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities
Act ("Rule 144A") and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") or in other transactions exempt
from registration under the Securities Act and, in each case, in compliance with applicable securities laws. We will agree to file a registration
statement relating to an exchange offer for, or the resale of, the Subordinated Notes. See "Registration Rights".
We do not intend to list the Subordinated 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these
securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Offering Memorandum or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the

contrary is a criminal offense. Under no circumstances shall this Offering Memorandum constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer
to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these Subordinated Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Each initial and subsequent purchaser of the Subordinated Notes will be deemed, by its acceptance or purchase thereof, to have made certain
acknowledgements, representations and agreements intended to restrict the resale or other transfer of such note, as described in this Offering
Memorandum, and, in connection therewith, may be required to provide confirmation of its compliance with such resale or other transfer restrictions in
certain cases. See the section entitled "Transfer Restrictions" for a further description of these restrictions.
We expect that the Subordinated Notes will be ready for delivery through the book-entry facilities of the DTC and its participants including
Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream Luxembourg") and Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") on or about December 1, 2015.

and executive officers and certain of the experts named herein are residents of the U.K. A substantial portion of the
assets of the Issuer, its subsidiaries and such persons, are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be

them in U.S. courts judgments obtained in such courts, including those predicated upon the civil liability provisions
of the federal securities laws of the United States. Furthermore, the Issuer has been advised by its solicitors that
there is doubt as to the enforceability in the U.K., in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of
U.S. courts, of certain civil liabilities, including those predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the
United States.
