Annual Bonus for 2013 Performance

Bonus awards are deferred into shares and in this regard conditional rights to acquire Shares under the Lloyds Banking Group Deferred Bonus Plan ("Deferred Bonus Plan") were awarded today in respect of 2013 performance ("Deferred Bonus Awards"):

Group Chief Executive 

The Group Chief Executive, António Horta-Osório, was awarded a right to receive 2,155,227 Shares under the Deferred Bonus Plan based on a share price of 78.878 pence. The award is subject to deferral for five years and to performance adjustment and forfeiture provisions during the first three years. The award is subject to an additional condition that the share price must remain above 73.6 pence on average for any 126 consecutive trading days in the five years following grant or the UK government sells at least 50 per cent of its shareholding during the three years following grant.  If either condition is met earlier than the third anniversary of grant, vesting will still only occur on the third anniversary. In this event, the award will be subject to a further two year holding period following vesting up to a maximum of five years in total.
