The Notes will be issued by the Issuer on 12 June 2024 (the "Issue Date"). The Notes will constitute direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer. The terms and conditions of the Notes are set out more fully in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" (the "Conditions").

The Notes will bear interest on their principal amount from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) 12 June 2030 (the "First Reset Date") at a fixed rate of 8.500 per cent. per annum and thereafter at a fixed rate of interest which will be reset on the First Reset Date and on each fifth anniversary of the First Reset Date thereafter (each, a "Reset Date" as provided in the Conditions). Interest will be payable on the Notes semi-annually in arrear on 12 June and 12 December (each, an "Interest Payment Date") in each year commencing on 12 December 2024, subject to cancellation as provided below and as further described in the Conditions.

The Issuer may elect at any time to cancel (in whole or in part) any payment of interest otherwise scheduled to be paid on an Interest Payment Date and shall, save as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Conditions, cancel in full an interest payment upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Interest Cancellation Event (as defined in the Conditions) with respect to that interest payment. Any interest accrued in respect of an Interest Payment Date which falls on or after the date on which the Trigger Event (as defined in the Conditions) occurs shall also be cancelled. The cancellation of any interest payment shall not constitute a default for any purpose on the part of the Issuer. Any interest payment (or part thereof) which is cancelled in accordance with the Conditions shall not become due and payable in any circumstances. Subject as provided in the Conditions, all payments in respect of or arising from the Notes will be conditional upon the Issuer being solvent (as defined in the Conditions) at the time of payment and immediately thereafter.

The Notes will be perpetual securities with no fixed redemption date. The Issuer shall only have the right to redeem or purchase the Notes in accordance with the Conditions. Holders of the Notes ("Noteholders") will have no right to require the Issuer to redeem or purchase the Notes at any time.

Prohibition on marketing and sales to retail investors

1. The Notes are complex financial instruments. They are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all investors, especially retail investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Notes. Potential investors in the Notes should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein).

2.

  1. In the UK, the FCA Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS") requires, in summary, that certain securities with characteristics similar to the Notes should not be offered or sold to retail clients (as defined in COBS 3.4 and each a "retail client") in the UK.

i

In addition, in October 2018, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued guidance on enhanced investor protection measures on the sale and distribution of debt instruments with loss- absorption features (such as the Notes) and related products (the "HKMA Circular"). Under the HKMA Circular, debt instruments with loss absorption features, being subject to the risk of being written-down or converted to ordinary shares, and investment products that invest mainly in, or whose returns are closely linked to the performance of such instruments, are to be targeted in Hong Kong at professional investors (as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of Hong Kong (the "SFO") and any subsidiary legislations or rules made under the SFO, "Professional Investors") only and are generally not suitable for retail investors in either the primary or secondary markets.

Potential investors should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the securities described in the Offering Memorandum (or any beneficial interests therein), including COBS and the HKMA Circular.

Investors in Hong Kong should not purchase the Notes in the primary or secondary markets unless they are Professional Investors and understand the risks involved. The Notes are generally not suitable for retail investors.

  1. Certain of the Joint Lead Managers are required to comply with COBS (as if COBS 22.3 applies to the Notes) and/or the HKMA Circular.
  2. By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes (or a beneficial interest in such Notes) from the Issuer and/or the Joint Lead Managers (acting as Joint Lead Managers), each prospective investor represents, warrants, agrees with and undertakes to the Issuer and each of the Joint Lead Managers that:
    1. it is not a retail client in the UK;
    2. if it is in Hong Kong, it is a Professional Investor; and
    3. whether or not it is subject to COBS or the HKMA Circular, it will not:
      1. sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial interest therein) to retail clients in the UK or retail investors in Hong Kong; or
      2. communicate (including the distribution of this document) or approve an invitation or inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client in the UK or any customer in Hong Kong who is not a Professional Investor.
  3. In selling or offering the Notes or making or approving communications, invitations or inducements relating to the Notes it may not rely on the limited exemptions set out in COBS (as if COBS 22.3 applies to the Notes).

3. The obligations in paragraph 2 above are in addition to the need to comply at all times with all other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), the UK or Hong Kong) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of Notes (or any beneficial interests therein), whether or not specifically mentioned in this document, including (without limitation) any requirements under MiFID II, UK MiFIR, the UK FCA Handbook, the HKMA Circular or any other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to

ii

determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) for investors in any relevant jurisdiction.

4. Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or the Joint Lead Managers (acting as Joint Lead Managers), the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.

Prohibition on marketing and sales of Notes to EEA retail investors

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by the Regulation (EU) 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Prohibition on marketing and sales of Notes to UK retail investors

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available, to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of UK MiFIR. Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II Product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market

Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment. However, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

UK MiFIR Product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market

Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. A distributor (as defined above) should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment. However, a distributor subject to the FCA

Presentation of financial information

The financial information in this Offering Memorandum, unless otherwise stated, has been extracted without material adjustment from (i) the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023; and (ii) the Group's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022. Where information has been extracted from the consolidated historical financial information of the Group, the information is audited unless otherwise stated.

Unless otherwise indicated, financial information for the Group in this Offering Memorandum and the information incorporated by reference into this Offering Memorandum is presented in pounds sterling and has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board or international accounting standards which are adopted for use within the UK ("UK-IAS").

The financial information presented in a number of tables in this Offering Memorandum has been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column. In addition, certain percentages presented in this Offering Memorandum reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding, and,

vii

accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant calculations were based upon the rounded numbers.

References to "Solvency II" in this Offering Memorandum are to the UK transposition of Directive (Solvency

  1. (2009/138/EC) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/35 of 10 October 2014 supplementing Directive 2009/138/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union on the taking-up and pursuit of the business of insurance and reinsurance (Solvency II) as amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/981 of 8 March 2019, as they each form part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, as amended from time to time and any additional measures adopted to give effect thereto (whether implemented by way of regulation, guidelines or otherwise).

Presentation of certain key performance indicators and targets

Certain key performance indicators and targets referred to in this Offering Memorandum are unaudited non- generally accepted accounting principles measures that are used by the Group, including those described below:

  • Assets Under Administration: The Group's assets under administration represent assets administered by or on behalf of the Group, covering both policyholder fund and shareholder assets held within the Operating Life Companies (as defined below). They include assets recognised in the Group's IFRS consolidated statement of financial position together with certain assets administered by the Group for which beneficial ownership resides with customers.
  • Total Cash Generation: Cash remitted by the Group's operating companies to the Group's holding companies.
  • Solvency II Own Funds ("Own Funds"): Own Funds are the aggregate of "basic Own Funds" (assets an insurer has on its balance sheet) and "ancillary Own Funds" (off-balance sheet resources that are loss- absorbent, for example, unpaid share capital). All such assets are subject to eligibility criteria and weighting, as determined by reference to Articles 93 to 95 of Solvency II as well as to Articles 69 to 73, 76, 77, 79 and 82 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. References to the Own Funds of a particular entity are references to the Own Funds held by an entity, whereas references to the Group's Own Funds, are references to the Own Funds within the scope of the Solvency II group.
  • Solvency Capital Requirement ("SCR"): This is the standard Own Funds level that a UK life insurer is required to maintain by the PRA. A separate calculation also applies to Solvency II groups. SCR is determined by reference to a basic standard formula set out in Articles 103-111 of Solvency II (the "Standard Formula"), however, an insurer may agree an amendment to the Standard Formula to create a bespoke calculation which more accurately reflects the risks applicable to that insurer, that amendment is achieved by way of an internal model (the "Internal Model"). Own Funds held to meet the SCR requirement (and any additional amendment or add on approved by the PRA) are also referred to as "regulatory capital" and any reference to an increase or decrease in a regulatory capital requirement is a reference to an increase or decrease in the amount of regulatory capital an entity has to hold. The amount by which an SCR requirement is exceeded by Own Funds is referred to as the "Solvency II Surplus".
  • Solvency II Shareholder Capital Coverage Ratio ("Shareholder Capital Coverage Ratio"): This is the ratio of Solvency II Own Funds to SCR, excluding Solvency II Own Funds and SCR of unsupported with-profit funds and Group pension schemes. Unsupported with-profit funds and Group pension schemes refer to those funds whose Solvency II Own Funds exceed their SCR. Where a with-profit fund or Group pension scheme has insufficient Solvency II Own Funds to cover its SCR, its Solvency II Own Funds and SCR are included within the Shareholder Capital Coverage Ratio calculation.
