together, the "AT1 Securityholders") at any time.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (the "PRA") or other relevant authority may also require the Additional Tier 1 Securities to be written off or converted to
Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances, with a view to preserving or restoring the viability of LBG, pursuant to an applicable statutory loss absorption regime.

OVERVIEW
The following does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information
provided elsewhere in these Listing Particulars. Capitalised terms shall, unless the context otherwise requires,
have the meanings set out under "Definitions" or in the Additional Tier 1 Securities Conditions below.
Issuer
Lloyds Banking Group plc.
Status of the Additional Tier 1
The Additional Tier 1 Securities constitute direct, unsecured
Securities
and subordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu
and without any preference among themselves.
Subordination of the Additional Tier 1
Winding-up prior to the Conversion Trigger
Securities in a winding-up or
If, at any time prior to the date on which a Conversion Trigger
administration
occurs, the Issuer is in a winding-up or an administrator is
appointed and such administrator declares, or gives notice that
it intends to declare and distribute a dividend, there shall be
payable by the Issuer in respect of each Additional Tier 1
Security (in lieu of any other payment by the Issuer), such
amount, if any, as would have been payable to the AT1
Securityholder
if,
throughout
such
winding-up
or
administration, such AT1 Securityholder were the holder of one
of a class of notional preference shares having an equal right to
a return of assets in the winding-up or administration to, and so
ranking pari passu with, the holders of the most senior class or
classes of issued preference shares in the capital of the Issuer
from time to time (if any) and which have a preferential right to
a return of assets in the winding-up or administration over, and
so rank ahead of, the holders of all other classes of issued
shares for the time being in the capital of the Issuer and such
claim shall rank junior to the claims of Senior Creditors, and on
the assumption that the amount that such holder was entitled to
receive in respect of each notional preference share on a return
of assets in such winding-up or administration were an amount
equal to the principal amount of the relevant Additional Tier 1
Security together with, to the extent not otherwise included
within the foregoing, any other amounts attributable to the AT1
Security, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon (to
the extent not cancelled in accordance with the Conditions) and
any damages awarded for breach of any obligations, whether or
not the conditions referred to in Condition 4(a) are satisfied on
the date upon which the same would otherwise be due and
payable.
"Senior Creditors" means creditors of the Issuer (a) who are
unsubordinated creditors, (b) whose claims are, or are
expressed to be, subordinated to the claims of unsubordinated
creditors of the Issuer but not further or otherwise or (c) whose
claims are, or are expressed to be, junior to the claims of other
creditors of the Issuer, whether subordinated or unsubordinated,
A17865888/1.10a/08 Apr 2014

other than those whose claims rank, or are expressed to rank,
pari passu with, or junior to, the claims of the holders of the
Additional Tier 1 Securities in a winding-up occurring prior to
the Conversion Trigger.
On or after the Conversion Trigger
If at any time on or after the date on which a Conversion
Trigger occurs, the Issuer is in a winding-up or an administrator
is appointed and such administrator declares, or gives notice
that it intends to declare and distribute a dividend, but the
relevant Ordinary Shares to be issued and delivered to the
Settlement Shares Depositary on Conversion have not been so
delivered, there shall be payable by the Issuer in respect of each
Additional Tier 1 Security (in lieu of any other payment by the
Issuer), such amount, if any, as would have been payable to the
AT1 Securityholder if, throughout such winding-up or
administration, such AT1 Securityholder were the holder of
such number of Ordinary Shares as that AT1 Securityholder
would have been entitled to receive on Conversion (ignoring
for these purposes the Issuer's right to make an election for a
Conversion Shares Offer to be effected), whether or not the
conditions referred to in Condition 4(a) are satisfied on the date
upon which the same would otherwise be due and payable.
No set-off
Subject to applicable law, no AT1 Securityholder may exercise,
claim or plead any right of set-off, compensation or retention in
respect of any amount owed to it by the Issuer in respect of, or
arising under or in connection with the Additional Tier 1
Securities and each AT1 Securityholder shall, by virtue of its
holding of any Additional Tier 1 Security be deemed to have
waived all such rights of set-off, compensation or retention.
Interest Payment Dates / Business Day
As indicated in the relevant Additional Tier 1 Securities
Conventions
Conditions.
Conditions to Payment
Other than in a winding-up or administration of the Issuer or in
relation to the payment of any cash component of any
Alternative Consideration, all payments in respect of or arising
from (including any damages for breach of any obligations
under) the Additional Tier 1 Securities are conditional upon the
Issuer being solvent (within the meaning given in Condition
4(a)) at the time of payment by the Issuer and no principal,
interest or other amount shall be due and payable in respect of
or arising from the Additional Tier 1 Securities except to the
extent that the Issuer could make such payment and still be
solvent immediately thereafter.
Interest Cancellation
Optional cancellation of interest
The Issuer may at any time elect to cancel any Interest Payment
(or any part thereof) which would otherwise be payable on any
Interest Payment Date.
A17865888/1.10a/08 Apr 2014

Mandatory cancellation of interest
Further, the Issuer shall cancel any Interest Payment (or, as
appropriate, part thereof) on the Additional Tier 1 Securities in
respect of any Interest Payment Date to the extent that the
Issuer has an amount of Distributable Items on such Interest
Payment Date that is less than the sum of (i) all payments
(other than redemption payments) made or declared by the
Issuer since the end of the last financial year of the Issuer and
prior to such Interest Payment Date on or in respect of any
Parity Securities, the Additional Tier 1 Securities and any
Junior Securities and (ii) all payments (other than redemption
payments) payable by the Issuer on such Interest Payment Date
(x) on the Additional Tier 1 Securities and (y) on or in respect
of any Parity Securities or any Junior Securities, in the case of
each of (i) and (ii), excluding any payments already accounted
for in determining the Distributable Items of the Issuer.
"Distributable Items" has the meaning assigned to such term in
CRD IV (as the same may be amended or replaced from time to
time) as interpreted and applied in accordance with the
Applicable Regulations then applicable to the Issuer but
amended so that any reference therein to "before distributions
to holders of own funds instruments" shall be read as a
reference to "before distributions by the Issuer to holders of
Parity Securities, the Additional Tier 1 Securities or any Junior
Securities".
"Junior Securities" means (i) any Ordinary Share or other
securities of the Issuer ranking, or expressed to rank, junior to
the Additional Tier 1 Securities in a winding-up or
administration of the Issuer occurring prior to the Conversion
Trigger and/or (ii) any securities issued by any other member of
the Group where the terms of such securities benefit from a
guarantee or support agreement entered into by the Issuer
which ranks, or is expressed to rank, junior to the Additional
Tier 1 Securities in a winding-up or administration of the Issuer
occurring prior to the Conversion Trigger.
"Parity Securities" means (i) the most senior ranking class or
classes of preference shares in the capital of the Issuer from
time to time and any other securities of the Issuer ranking, or
expressed to rank, pari passu with the Additional Tier 1
Securities and/or such preference shares in a winding-up or
administration of the Issuer occurring prior to the Conversion
Trigger and/or (ii) any securities issued by any other member of
the Group where the terms of the securities benefit from a
guarantee or support agreement entered into by the Issuer
which ranks or is expressed to rank pari passu with the
Additional Tier 1 Securities and/or such preference shares in a
winding-up or administration of the Issuer occurring prior to
