any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
In addition, NWG may redeem the Senior Notes,
in whole but not in part, at 100% of their principal amount together with any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date

prospectus.
Any redemption or repurchase of the Senior Notes
is subject to the provisions described under “Description of the Senior Notes—Tax Redemption”, “Description
of the Senior Notes—Loss Absorption
|
|
Disqualification Event Redemption”
and “Description of the Senior Notes—Conditions to Redemption and Repurchase”.
The Senior Notes will not be redeemable at the
option of the holders at any time.
|
Redemption and Repurchase Conditions
|
Notwithstanding any other provision, NWG may only redeem the Senior Notes prior to the maturity date or repurchase the Senior Notes (and give notice thereof to the holders of Senior Notes in the case of redemption) if we have obtained the prior consent of the PRA (as defined in the prospectus supplement), to the extent such consent is at the relevant time and in the relevant circumstances required (if at all) by the Loss Absorption Regulations (as defined in the prospectus supplement) or applicable laws or regulations in effect in the United Kingdom, if at all, as described in the prospectus supplement under (“Description of the Senior Notes—Conditions to Redemption and Repurchase”).
|
Events of Default
|
The Senior Notes contain very limited events of default provisions and the remedies available thereunder are limited, as described in the prospectus supplement under “Description of the Senior Notes—Events of Default and Defaults; Limitation of Remedies.”
|
Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power
|
Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements,
or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the Senior Notes, by its acquisition of Senior Notes, each holder and
beneficial owner of the Senior Notes acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any UK bail-in power
by the relevant UK authority which may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or
interest on, the Senior Notes; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Senior Notes
into ordinary shares or other securities or other obligations of NWG or another person; and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the
maturity of the Senior Notes, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Senior Notes, or the dates on which interest becomes payable,
including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which UK bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of
the Senior Notes solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant UK authority of such UK bail-in power. Each holder and beneficial
owner of the Senior Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders and/or beneficial owners under the Senior Notes
are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any UK bail-in power by the relevant UK authority.
For these purposes, a “UK bail-in power”
is any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification or suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules
or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated
in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to NWG or other members of the Group, including but not limited to
any such laws, regulations, rules or
|
|
requirements which are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of a UK resolution regime under the Banking Act, pursuant to which any obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, modified, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (or suspended for a temporary period) or pursuant to which any right in a contract governing such obligations may be deemed to have been exercised. A reference to the “relevant UK authority” is to any authority with the ability to exercise a UK bail-in power.
|
Repayment of Principal and Payment of Interest After Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power
|
No repayment of the principal amount of the Senior Notes or payment of interest on the Senior Notes shall become due and payable after the exercise of any UK bail-in power by the relevant UK authority unless, at the time that such repayment or payment, respectively, is scheduled to become due, such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by us under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom applicable to us and the Group.
