pence and 20 Matching shares acquired at 249.3333 pence. Both Partnership and

(2) They had transferred 7,549 ordinary shares of 6 14/81 pence each from Lloyds
TSB Registrars Corporate Nominee Limited AESOP1 (Allocated shares) to Lloyds TSB
Registrars Corporate Nominee Limited AESOP2 (unallocated shares). The transfer
was made following the forfeiture of shares, under the rules of the SIP, by
participants who have left the group since the last purchase. The Directors
listed above, together with some 5,000 other employees, are potential
participants in the Plan and are to be treated as interested in the 29 shares
held by Lloyds TSB Registrars Corporate Nominee Limited AESOP2.
The SIP operates as follows
-- Each month the Trustee uses participants' contributions (which may not
exceed £125 per participant per month) to purchase shares in the market.
These shares are called 'Partnership Shares'.
-- At the same time the Company allots to participants via the Trustee one
'Matching Share' for every two partnership shares purchased that month (up
to a maximum of 20 matching shares per month).
-- Participants may change their monthly savings rate whenever they wish.
However, Directors and others bound by the Company's Securities Dealing Code
(the 'Code') may not make such a change during a close period or when
otherwise prohibited from dealing by the Code.
