Securityholders of each Series as described in the table below to
consent to the approval by Extraordinary Resolution at the relevant
Meeting, of the modification of the Conditions relating to the
relevant Series as described in paragraph 1 of the relevant
Extraordinary Resolution as set out in the Updated Consent
Solicitation Memorandum (as defined below) (the "Updated Consent
Solicitations"). Meetings of the Securityholders of the PNC9

"PNC9 Meeting" and the "PNC15 Meeting" respectively, together the
"Meetings") were held earlier today in connection with the Updated
Consent Solicitations, and the Issuer now announces the results of
each Meeting.
The full terms and conditions of the Updated Consent
Solicitations were contained in the consent solicitation memorandum

Adjournment of the Respective Meetings of the PNC9

The Meetings were held separately earlier today, and NOTICE IS
HEREBY GIVEN:
(i) to the PNC9 Securityholders that, at the PNC9 Meeting the
relevant Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed, however, the
Eligibility Condition was not satisfied and therefore the
conditions to the implementation of the amendments to the
Conditions of the PNC9 Securities in accordance with the
Extraordinary Resolution in respect of the PNC9 Securities and the
PNC9 Securities Supplemental Trust Deed have not been met. Pursuant
to Paragraph 9 of the Extraordinary Resolution, as a result of the
Eligibility Condition not being satisfied, the PNC9 Meeting has
been adjourned as appropriate; and
(ii) to the PNC15 Securityholders th at, the quorum requir ed f
o r the PNC15 Meeting was not obtained, a nd according l y the
PNC15 Meeting has been ad j ourned as appropriate.
The ad journed Me e ting in respect of the:
(i) PNC9 Securities will commence on 7 December 2020 at 10 a.m.

(ii) PNC15 Securities will commence on 7 December 2020 at 10.15
a.m. (London time) (11.15 a.m. CET) or after the completion of the
PNC9 Securities Meeting (whichever is later).
In the event that the Consent Conditions are satisfied at each
adjourned Meeting and the Extraordinary Resolution in respect of
each Series is passed, each Extraordinary Resolution constitutes
(amongst others) a direction by the Securityholders of each Series
to the Trustee to consent to and to concur in the amendments to the
Conditions of the relevant Series and any consequential or related
amendments to the transaction documents for the relevant Series in
order to change the Reset Reference Rate such that (i) the Reset
Reference Rate ceases to be a LIBOR linked mid-swap rate
(specifically being the mid-rate for a 5 year Sterling
fixed-for-floating interest rate swap (where the floating leg pays
6 month GBP LIBOR semi-annually)) and becomes a SONIA linked
mid-swap rate (specifically being the mid-rate for a 5 year
Sterling fixed-for-floating interest rate swap (where the floating
leg pays daily compounded SONIA annually)); (ii) the Reset
Reference Rate Adjustment is made to reflect the economic
difference between the LIBOR linked mid-swap rate and SONIA linked
mid-swap rate; (iii) the Margin applicable to each Series of
Securities remains unaltered by these changes; (iv) the fallbacks
relating to the Reset Reference Rate are amended; and (v) new
fallbacks are included in case a Benchmark Event occurs with
respect to the Reset Rate of Interest, as more fully set out in the
relevant Supplemental Trust Deed and as may be necessary to give
effect thereto .
