If you are in any doubt about the action you should take, you should immediately consult your broker, commercial bank, custodian or other professional adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (if you are in the United Kingdom) or other appropriately authorised financial adviser. £525,000,000 2.75 PER CENT. CONVERTIBLE BONDS DUE 2006 (ISIN: XS0139391873) ISSUED BY LEGAL & GENERAL GROUP PLC THIS NOTICE is addressed to the holders (the 'Bondholders') of all of the above-mentioned bonds (the 'Bonds') issued by Legal & General Group Plc (the ' Issuer'), and is issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bonds and the trust deed constituting the Bonds dated 18 December 2001 (the 'Trust Deed'). Capitalised terms used in this notice have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust Deed, unless the context otherwise requires. 1. Final Conversion Reminder Bondholders are hereby reminded that the Final Maturity Date of the Bonds is 18 December 2006 and that, pursuant to Condition 6(a) (Conversion Period and Conversion Price) of the Bonds, the Conversion Period (during which Bondholders may exercise their Conversion Rights) will end at the close of business on 12 December 2006. Accordingly, in order to exercise their Conversion Rights, Bondholders must deliver a duly completed Conversion Notice via the relevant clearing system to the Principal Paying and Conversion Agent prior to the close of business on 12 December 2006. A blank Conversion Notice may be obtained from any of the Paying and Conversion Agents. This is the last opportunity for Bondholders to exercise their Conversion Rights. Bondholders will no longer have the right to do so after 12 December 2006. Bondholders not wishing to exercise their Conversion Rights need take no action in relation to this notice. 2. Rate of Conversion As at the date of this notice, the Conversion Price is 184p. 3. Fractions Fractions of Ordinary Shares will not be issued on conversion. However, if the Conversion Right in respect of more than one Bond is exercised at any one time such that Ordinary Shares to be issued on conversion are to be registered in the same name, the number of such Ordinary Shares to be issued in respect thereof shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds being so converted. If a fraction of an Ordinary Share would otherwise fall to be delivered on conversion, the Issuer shall (provided such amount is not less than £10) make, or shall procure that there is made, a cash payment equal to such fraction of the Current Market Price per Ordinary Share as at the relevant Conversion Date in respect of such Bonds to the relevant Bondholder or, as the case may be, the Trustee on or before the seventh business day in London after such Conversion Date by a pounds sterling cheque drawn on, or by transfer to a pounds sterling account maintained by the holder with, a bank in London in accordance with directions given by such Bondholder in the relevant Conversion Notice or, as the case may be, given by the Trustee. 4. Procedure for Conversion A Conversion Right may be exercised only in respect of the whole of the principal amount of a Bond. A Conversion Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable. The conversion date in respect of a Bond (the 'Conversion Date') shall be the London business day immediately following the date of such delivery. Bondholders choosing to exercise their Conversion Rights must pay any taxes and capital, stamp, issue and registration duties arising on conversion (other than any taxes or capital duties or stamp duties payable or arising on issue of any Ordinary Shares on such conversion). Such Bondholders must also pay all, if any, taxes arising by reference to any disposal or deemed disposal of a Bond or interest therein in connection with such conversion. The Ordinary Shares will not be available for issue (i) to, or to a nominee or agent for, Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg, First Chicago Clearing Center or any other person providing a clearance service within the meaning of Section 96 of the Finance Act 1986 of the United Kingdom or (ii) to a person, or nominee or agent for a person, whose business is or includes issuing depositary receipts within the meaning of Section 93 of the Finance Act 1986 of the United Kingdom, in each case at any time prior to the 'abolition day' as defined in Section 111 (1) of the Finance Act 1990 of the United Kingdom. Upon exercise of a Bondholder's Conversion Rights, the Ordinary Shares issued on conversion will be issued in uncertificated form through the dematerialised securities trading system generated by CRESTCo Limited, known as CREST, unless the holder elects to hold the Ordinary Shares in certificated registered form or, at the time of issue, the Ordinary Shares are not a participating security in CREST. Where Ordinary Shares are to be issued through CREST, they will be delivered to the account specified by the relevant Bondholder in the relevant Conversion Notice by not later than seven London business days following the relevant Conversion Date. Where Ordinary Shares are to be issued in certificated form, a certificate in respect thereof will be dispatched by mail free of charge (but uninsured and at the risk of the person entitled thereto) to the relevant Bondholder or such Bondholder may direct in the relevant Conversion Notice within 28 days following the relevant Conversion Date. 5. Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of the Bonds will be fully paid and non-assessable and will in all respects rank pari passu with the Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant Conversion Date (except for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law), except that the Ordinary Shares so issued will not rank for any rights, distributions or payments, the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior the relevant Conversion Date. No payment or adjustment shall be made on conversion for any interest which otherwise would have accrued on the relevant Bonds since the last Interest Payment Date preceding the Conversion Date relating to such Bonds. 6. Interest Each Bond will cease to bear interest where the Conversion Right shall have been exercised from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the relevant Conversion Date. 7. Capital and Income Comparison On the basis of the Conversion Price of 184p per Ordinary Share, a holder of a principal amount of £10,000 of Bonds would, upon conversion, receive 5,434 Ordinary Shares of nominal value 2.5p each.
