Page 18 What to do now. 3 WhAt Are oleds? oLeDs are limited edition fixed term deposits which are available in a range of terms and aim to pay a return linked to the performance of specific stock markets or stocks. Dependent on their performance, any return will be reflected in the value of your oLeD at maturity, or paid on an annual basis, depending upon which oLeD you choose. of course, there is the potential of very little or no return above your original Capital and, as a consequence, the purchasing power of your money at maturity could be significantly affected by inflation. But however big or small your return may be, OLEDs are also designed to be cautious. That’s why they are structured to always repay at least your original Capital at the end of the term, regardless of the performance of the underlying stocks or stock markets, so long as you hold the deposit for the full term. Here at Lloyds TSB International we know that our customers have differing requirements and so our current selection of OLEDs include the choice for potential capital growth, available in sterling and US dollar options, or a possible annual income available in sterling - so your choice will depend upon your individual needs. There’s a minimum deposit requirement of £10,000 or US$20,000 – no maximum and an optional Early Depositor’s Bonus when you deposit your funds before 19 September 2011 (see page 15 for more details). If Lloyds tsB offshore Limited as the deposit taker became bankrupt or was unable to make payments under the oLeD when due, you may get back less than you are owed or nothing at all. If you are an eligible type of depositor and satisfy the relevant criteria, your oLeD will be covered by the relevant island depositors’ compensation scheme. see page 16 for details. LIMIteD oFFeR DePosIts. OLEDs have a closing date for subscriptions, although we may withdraw them earlier if they become fully subscribed. So if you’re interested in applying, you should act quickly to ensure you don’t miss out. The closing date for our current OLEDs is 12 September 2011. oled options At A GlAnce. to help choose the most suitable oLeD for you we’ve summarised them here so you can see all of your options at a glance. Read on – you’ll also find full details of how each oLeD works further on in the brochure. oLeD 1 MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RETURN OF UP TO 42% OF YOUR CAPITAL (AeR 7.26%*). oLeD 3 MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RETURN OF UP TO 46% OF YOUR CAPITAL (AeR 7.86%*). A 5 year sterling growth deposit designed to repay your Capital at maturity. Depending upon there being positive performance of the FTSE 100 index over the deposit term, it offers a maximum potential return of 42% (AeR 7.26%)*. If the performance of the FTSE 100 is nil or negative then only your Capital will be repaid at maturity. There’s also a 3 year early maturity feature. See page 8 for full details. A 5 year sterling growth deposit designed to repay your Capital at maturity. This deposit is linked to a basket of UK, USA and Eurozone stock market indices and offers the potential for a maximum return of 46% (AeR 7.86%)*.

To follow is some further information which supports why each has been selected and linked to our current suite of OLEDs.

Ftse 100. The FTSE 100 is the index measuring the performance of the UK stock market, tracking the share prices of the 100 largest companies by market capitalisation listed on the London Stock Exchange. Our view is that UK company stocks will rise significantly in the next few years, as the economic recovery slowly gathers pace and consolidates. Remembering also that the UK stock market has a large international element, the stronger pace of the global economic recovery will be an additional boost to the FTSE. Low interest rates, a fading of the negative effects of fiscal tightening and the beneficial effects of fast growth in the rest of the world, should be helping the top tier of UK-based firms to see a strong upturn in revenue and hence in their share prices. eURo stoXX 50®. The EURO STOXX 50® represents the performance of 50 companies representing a selection of market sector leaders in the Eurozone. Our forecast is that economic growth in the Eurozone, led by Germany, will average close to 2% over the next four years. Whilst this may not sound like much it will be sufficient to support the equity market and comes despite the continuing issues facing the so-called peripheral economies. s&P 500®. The S&P 500® (Standard & Poors) is a capitalisation weighted index of 500 United States companies from leading industries. The index represents a broad cross section of the US equity market including common stocks traded and quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ National Market System. US economic growth will be the strongest of the developed economies in the years ahead. Its economic recovery is set to gather pace and the reforms to health care and the fiscal deficit will eventually help that profile. In this scenario, the S&P will do well, helped by a weaker currency and strong growth in the rest of the world. HsBC HoLDInGs PLC. VoDAFone PLC. HSBC is Europe’s largest bank and third largest in the world having emerged from the financial crisis a relative winner due to the strength of its balance sheet and growing focus on Asia. The company also maintained a dividend policy when the majority of the sector suspended payouts and this is again starting to grow. The relatively new management team of Douglas Flint (Chairman) and Stuart Gulliver (CEO) must demonstrate the ability for HSBC to grow revenues and exploit the strong presence in emerging markets especially Asia against a backdrop of changing regulation, manage risk, especially in the US business and address the expanding cost base to ensure increased profitability. Rising costs have been a feature of recent results and a key area of concern and the recent strategy day included cost control initiatives targeting savings of $2.5-3.5bn in order to fund investment and bring the cost income ratio into the target range of 4852%. Management also reiterated other targets in terms of returns on investment and stated the desire to invest further in retail banking in markets offering scale, whilst not ruling out disposals of non-strategic assets. In time HSBC should be able to exploit their strengths and drive profitable growth across the business. Vodafone is a market leader in mobile telecommunications with significant presence including subsidiaries and joint ventures in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and the US. The company is well placed therefore to benefit from the trend of mobile data associated with the growth in smart phone usage as well as continued mobile take-up in emerging markets. Recently the company has embarked on a series of non-core asset sales including the sale to Vivendi of their SFR stake in France, with some of the returns supporting share buyback initiatives. The forthcoming results could see a slight de-acceleration of the recent quarterly trend of organic sales growth but we do not foresee any deviation from the previous guidance of 1-4% growth in organic service revenues, stable margins and cash flow generation of £6-7bn per annum until 2014. We also expect the prospect of higher dividend payments from the Verizon Wireless venture to be a driver for increased dividends from 2012 onwards providing further support for the share price. GLAXosMItHKLIne PLC. GlaxoSmithKline is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies focusing on six major disease areas: asthma, virus control, infections, mental health, diabetes and digestive conditions. The company is becoming increasingly viewed as offering revenue growth as it emerges from the patent cliff* and the threat of generic competition (in leading blockbuster drugs) facing the sector. This not only includes growth in both emerging markets and consumer healthcare but also the pipeline of new drug opportunities. Already this year three new products including Benlysta (lupus) have been approved, with a further 12 prospects in late stage development. This includes Relovair, the next generation of asthma treatment Advair, which should support sales in their market leading respiratory franchise. Management also remain increasingly focused on cost reduction and improving shareholder returns through dividend growth and share buybacks. This is welcomed by shareholders who previously were faced by the reality of rising Avandia related legal charges and under performance in the share price. Important note: There are certain circumstances in which the indices or Individual Stock(s) to which your OLED is linked may change, or result in calculations being adjusted from time to time. This would be due to a change in the FTSE 100, EURO STOXX 50® and S&P 500®, or in the case of the Individual Stock(s), a change in market conditions or other specified events. The circumstances in which such changes may be necessary are set out in the Terms and Conditions, Clause 3, Part B. The Terms and Conditions can be found within the Application Document, which is inserted in the back of this brochure. * “Patent cliff” is an accepted term in the Pharmaceutical sector and relates to the expiry of patents on a number of key drugs for the large pharma companies expected to peak between 2011-13. The patent provides exclusivity and protects from generic competition and can last up to 10 years depending on the product with the peak of patent expiry reflecting the raft of drugs that were launched previously. 7 oled 1. 5 YeAr sterlinG GroWth deposit With 3 YeAr eArlY mAturitY FeAture.

HoW Does It WoRK AnD WHAt MIGHt I Get BACK on tHe RePAYMent DAte? This deposit is designed to run for a maximum of 5 years but it has the added benefit of an early maturity feature whereby the deposit will mature after 3 years, if the FTSE 100 has risen by 9% or more from its closing level on the original start date of 26 September 2011. See (2) below for full details. If the early maturity feature is not triggered then at the end of the 5 year term you’ll receive back your original Capital plus 120% of any positive performance of the FTSE 100, subject to a maximum of 42%. Should there be nil or negative performance then you’ll receive back only your original Capital on the Repayment Date. 1) on the Deposit start Date (26 september 2011): The official closing level of the FTSE 100 will be recorded as at the close of business on 26 September 2011. This will be referred to as the FTSE 100 Start Level and will be noted against your deposit. 2) early maturity feature after 3 years (26 september 2014): If at the close of business on 26 September 2014 (the Early Maturity Observation Date) the official closing level of the FTSE 100 is 9% or greater than the FTSE 100 Start Level, your deposit will mature early and on 03 October 2014 you will receive back your original Capital plus 18% (AeR 5.67%*). If the FTSE 100 does not show a rise of 9% or more as described above, then the early maturity feature will not trigger and the deposit will continue to run for its full 5 year term, as described below. The table opposite demonstrates this. 3) on the Final observation Date (26 september 2016): The official closing level of the FTSE 100 will be noted on 26 September 2016. This will be known as the FTSE 100 Final Level. The FTSE 100 Final Level will then be compared to the FTSE 100 Start Level in order to determine the FTSE 100 Performance. If, after this comparison, the figure is positive it will be multiplied by 120%, in order to calculate the final return in addition to Capital up to a maximum of 42%. If the FTSE 100 Performance is negative then you’ll receive back only your original Capital amount. Under either scenario the Repayment Date will be 03 October 2016. The table opposite demonstrates this.

Each of these will be known as the Stock Start Level for the relevant Individual Stock. 2) on each relevant Annual Calculation Date (as detailed in the table opposite): The official closing price of each Individual Stock will be recorded. Each of these will be known as the Annual Stock Level for the relevant Individual Stock. We’ll then compare each Annual Stock Level with the relevant Individual Stock’s Stock Start Level. If after this comparison all three Individual Stocks’ Annual Stock Levels are equal to, or greater than, 98% of each relevant Individual Stock’s Stock Start Level, you’ll receive a return of 10% on the relevant Annual Return Payment Date. If however one or more of the three Individual Stocks’ Annual Stock Level is less than 98% of each relevant Individual Stock’s Stock Start Level then no return will be paid for that year. You may receive an additional return according to the Bonus Feature (see “What is the Bonus Feature and how will it affect the Annual Returns?”).

It’s linked to three large well known UK companies with proven track records, which have been selected by our expert market analysts: If on any Annual Calculation Date all three Individual Stocks’ Annual Stock Levels are equal to or greater than 98% of each Individual Stock’s Stock Start Level then, in addition to the return of 10% which will be paid in that year (described in point 2), any previously missed returns will also be paid on that year’s Annual Return Payment Date. HSBC plc, GlaxoSmithKline PLC and Vodafone Group PLC. Each of these will be known as an Individual Stock. Each year we’ll measure the performance of each of the three companies’ stocks and provided all three stocks have remained above a 98% level of their original Stock Start Level you’ll receive an Annual Return of 10% for that year. Plus, as a Bonus Feature, should an Annual Return not be payable, there is the potential of it being paid on a subsequent Annual Return Payment Date. Should the performance of any of the stocks be below 98% of their original Stock Start Level on each Annual Calculation Date over the entire deposit term, you’ll receive back only your original Capital on the Repayment Date. Whilst there’s no limit on how many times the Bonus Condition can be met, any previously missed Annual Returns will only be paid once.

HoW Does It WoRK AnD WHAt MIGHt I Get BACK on tHe RePAYMent DAte? Both the sterling and US dollar deposits are linked to a trio of indices. At the end of the 5 year term you’ll receive back your original Capital plus 115% of any positive combined performance of the indices basket subject to a maximum of 46%. Should the basket performance be nil or negative then you’ll receive back only your original Capital on the Repayment Date. 1) on the Deposit start Date (26 september 2011): The official closing level of the FTSE 100, EURO STOXX 50® and S&P 500® will be recorded as at the close of business on 26 September 2011. These three levels will be known as the Index Start Levels for each index. 2) on the Final observation Date (26 september 2016): The official closing level of the FTSE 100, EURO STOXX 50® and S&P 500® will be noted as at the close of business on 26 September 2016. These levels will be known as the Index Final Levels. For each index, the Index Performance level will be calculated. The Index Performance level is the difference between the Index Final Level and the Index Start Level, expressed as a percentage of the Index Start Level for each index. The Average Basket Performance is the simple arithmetic average of the Index Performance levels. If the Average Basket Performance is positive, then it will be multiplied by 115% in order to calculate the final return in addition to Capital, up to a maximum of 46%. If the Average Basket Performance is negative, then you’ll receive back only your original Capital amount. Under either scenario the Repayment Date will be 03 October 2016.

These OLEDs are linked to the performance of the FTSE 100, EURO STOXX 50® and S&P 500® indices or three Individual Stocks depending on which you decide to select. So, if the FTSE 100, EURO STOXX 50® and S&P 500® indices or three Individual Stocks perform/s poorly you may receive back less than you would normally have earned from an ordinary deposit account. With OLEDs there is also the potential of no return above your original Capital. This means that the purchasing power of your money at the Repayment Date could be significantly affected by inflation. Additionally, unlike an ordinary deposit account you cannot withdraw your money early from an OLED without incurring charges – please see the next question for details on this. OLEDs are fixed term deposits designed to run the full term. In an emergency or a case of extreme need we may consider, at our absolute discretion, a request from you to withdraw your deposit and to close your OLED before the relevant Repayment Date but we will be under no obligation to agree to your request. In the event that your deposit is repaid before the relevant Repayment Date, you acknowledge that you may receive back less than your original deposit. This is because the value is affected by factors including how long you’ve held the OLED for, prevailing interest rates, market conditions and the level of the relevant index or Individual Stocks, which may fall as well as rise. Plus, the value of the shares in the companies making up the relevant index may be affected by currency fluctuations. In addition, a fixed £500 administration fee will be charged. Please refer to Clause 4, Part B within the Terms and Conditions for more details. ARe tHeRe AnY CHARGes? Any management costs are included within the OLED and there are no additional subscription charges. If you don’t hold your OLED for its full term, a fixed £500 administration fee will be charged.

When we accept your application for an OLED, we’ll open a Call Account for you if you don’t already hold one with us. We’ll then transfer the sum you want to deposit into your OLED into this Call Account, adding to it any Early Depositor’s Bonus you are entitled to. We’ll then transfer your money into your OLED on the deposit Start Date. The Call Account is also where your maturing deposit amount and any annual return (if applicable) will be paid on the deposit Repayment Date or relevant Annual Return Payment Date. HoW Does tHe eARLY DePosItoR’s BonUs WoRK? Applications received with cleared funds prior to 19 September 2011 will earn interest at 0.40% per annum for sterling deposits and 0.25% per annum for US dollar deposits until 26 September 2011. Please note that the interest rate for the Early Depositor’s Bonus is subject to change depending on the prevailing market conditions that exist up to 26 September 2011. If you take advantage of the Early Depositor’s Bonus your funds will be committed to your chosen OLED and your application cannot be cancelled before or after the Start Date of the Deposit. Please note that the Early Depositor’s Bonus and Call Account fall within the scope of the European Union Savings Tax Directive. For more on this, please see Clause 5, Part B in the Terms and Conditions within the application enclosed with this brochure. HoW WILL I KnoW HoW MY oLeD Is PeRFoRMInG? Once we’ve opened your account, we’ll send you confirmation containing all the key information. Throughout your OLED’s term, we’ll send you annual updates detailing how your OLED is performing. Then, shortly after maturity, we’ll let you know the return payable. WHAt ABoUt tAX? Under current rules any return on your OLED in addition to your original Capital is paid without the deduction of tax. For clients who are residents of EU member states, the return above Capital for all OLEDs does not fall within the scope of the Channel Islands and Isle of Man regulations that introduced measures equivalent to those set out within the European Savings Tax Directive. Therefore it is important that you disclose details of any return to your local tax authority should you need to do so. early Depositor’s Bonus For clients who are not residents of EU member states, the Early Depositor’s Bonus paid to the Call Account is paid without deduction of tax.

Are oleds riGht For me? every customer is unique, with individual needs and a different appetite for risk. that’s why, before applying for an oLeD, it’s important that you’re aware of the risks and commitment involved. Using the checklists here will help you decide if one or more of these oLeDs are the right choice for you. oLeDs CoULD Be RIGHt FoR YoU IF: • y ou have a minimum £10,000 or US$20,000 to deposit. • you are over 18. • y ou won’t need to access your money for the full term and can wait 5 years to get your money back. • y ou understand that there are other products which will pay a fixed rate of interest for similar periods but you are prepared to risk receiving no return should you decide to deposit your money into an OLED. If you receive no return, this means that the purchasing power of your money at the Repayment Date could be reduced significantly by the effects of inflation. • y ou accept that if you withdraw early you may get back substantially less than your original deposit. • t ypically, although not exclusively, you have some experience or knowledge of investment markets and you wish to deposit some (but not all) of your Capital for the full term of the selected OLED, as part of a diversified approach to savings and investments. We don’t provide any advice or make any recommendations as to the suitability of these deposits for you or your circumstances. • y ou understand your deposit is not invested directly in the companies that make up the FTSE 100, EURO STOXX 50® or S&P 500® indices or the Individual Stocks. Therefore you will not receive any dividend payments from them. For oLeD 1: • y ou understand that your maximum return is capped at 42% and this is the most you will receive regardless of how well the underlying index performs. • y ou believe that the FTSE 100 index will rise but also appreciate that it may fall over the next 5 years, which means you could receive only your Capital amount at maturity. For oLeD 2: • y ou understand that the number of stocks that the performance is linked to is three. This means that if the share price of only one out of the three stocks falls to less than 98% when compared to the Stock Start Level on each of the five Annual Calculation Dates, then you’ll only receive back your Capital at maturity. For oLeDs 3 & 4: • y ou believe that the related indices will rise but also appreciate that they may fall over the next 5 years, which means that you could receive only your Capital amount at maturity. • y ou understand that your maximum return is capped at 46% and this is the most you will receive regardless of how well the underlying indices performs. YoU MAY PReFeR AnotHeR oF oUR MAnY ACCoUnt oPtIons IF: • y ou may need access to your money over the next 5 years. • y ou want a regular income or fixed rate of interest from your deposit. • y ou won’t have enough funds, after submitting your application, for any unexpected costs or emergencies. • y ou don’t want to risk receiving a zero return above your original Capital after 5 years. 17 WhAt to do noW.
