RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On May 9, 2003, the Issuer announced that it had made a proposal to the Board of Bank of Western
Australia Ltd (``BankWest'') in which it currently holds the majority interest of 57%. Under the
proposal the Issuer's Australian subsidiary, Scottish Western Australia Holdings Pty Ltd, would
acquire all the outstanding shares it does not already control and all options would be cancelled
through two Schemes of Arrangement.
The Federal Court of Australia made orders approving the Schemes of Arrangement on August 26,
2003 which had previously been approved by BankWest's minority shareholders and option holders at
Scheme Meetings held on August 18, 2003. The Schemes of Arrangement became unconditional
following lodgment of the Court orders with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.
The consideration of A$4.25 per share for all shares not held by the Issuer and the cash payment for
cancellation of options, a total consideration of approximately A$1.05 billion (approximately £434
million, based on current exchange rates) was paid from the Issuer's existing capital resources on
September 10, 2003 when the transaction completed.
On 3rd October, 2003 Gordon McQueen, a director of the Issuer and of the Governor and Company
of the Bank of Scotland and Chairman and Chief Executive of HBOS Treasury Services plc
(``Treasury Services''), announced his intention to retire at the end of the year from these positions.
He will be succeeded as Chief Executive of Treasury Services by Lindsay Mackay, currently Head of
Treasury of Treasury Services.

General
The Notes will be designated as the Issuer's 6.00% Subordinated Notes due 2033 (the ``Notes'') and
will bear interest from October 30, 2003, payable semi-annually in arrears, on each May 1 and
November 1, beginning May 1, 2004, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the
close of business on April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding such May 1 or
November 1. The ®rst payment on May 1, 2004 will be a long ®rst coupon of 181 days. The Notes
will mature on November 1, 2033 (the ``Final Maturity Date'') and be redeemed at par. The Notes
are not redeemable prior to the Final Maturity Date by the Issuer, except in the event that the Notes
become subject to certain taxation in which case the Issuer may be entitled to redeem the Notes as
set forth under ``Description of the Notes and the Guarantees ± Optional Tax Redemption'' in the
accompanying Offering Memorandum. The Notes will be issued under the Indenture. The place of
payment for the Notes shall be The City of New York and payments in respect of the Notes shall be
made on days which are Business Days in New York.
The Notes will constitute unsecured and subordinated debt obligations of the Issuer. By purchasing
Notes, each Holder of Notes is deemed to acknowledge that its claims against the Issuer under the
Notes are subordinated to the claims of Senior Creditors of the Issuer. See ``Subordination'' below.
The Notes will be sold in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $l,000 in excess thereof
(or, in the case of any sale to an ``accredited investor'' as de®ned in Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act, in minimum amounts of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof). See ``Description of the Notes and the Guarantees ± General'' in the accompanying Offering
Memorandum.
Additional Notes may be issued with the same terms as the Notes offered hereby without the consent
of any Holder, which will be consolidated and form one series with the Notes previously offered
hereby).
The Notes sold to quali®ed institutional buyers (``QIBs'') in reliance on Rule 144A, will initially be
represented by interests in one or more global notes in registered form (the ``Rule 144A Global
Notes''). The Notes sold to investors in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act will initially
be represented by interests in one or more global notes in registered form (the ``Regulation S Global
Notes'' and, together with the Rule 144A Global Notes, the ``Global Notes''). On the Closing Date,
the Global Notes will be deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC, in New York, and
registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, in each case for credit to an account of a direct or
indirect participant in DTC as described below. Bene®cial interests in the Rule 144A Global Notes
may not be exchanged for bene®cial interests in the Regulation S Global Notes at any time except in
the limited circumstances described in the accompanying Offering Memorandum. See ``Description of
the Notes and the Guarantees ± Depositary Procedures ± Exchange Among the Global Notes'' in the
accompanying Offering Memorandum.
Notes sold to ``accredited investors'' as de®ned in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities
Act, if any, will be represented by Notes in de®nitive form.
The Global Notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to another nominee of DTC or
to a successor of DTC or its nominee. Bene®cial interests in the Global Notes may not be exchanged
