The Bank hereby gives notice that, in connection with the proposed meeting on Tuesday, 22 December 2009 of the holders of the 2014 Notes (together with the 2011 Notes (as defined in the Information Memorandum referred to below), the “International Notes”), the Bank is exercising its right to expand the eligibility for the Early Submission Payment in respect of the meeting, as set forth in this announcement. Such right to expand the eligibility for the Early Submission Payment was reserved in the Information Memorandum, dated 30 November 2009 (the “Information Memorandum”), relating to such meeting.
 
As originally noted in the Information Memorandum, holders and beneficial owners of International Notes who wished to be eligible to receive the Early Submission Payment were required, in addition to duly submitting (or arranging to have submitted on their behalf) either Electronic Voting Instructions or DTC Instructions (collectively, “voting instructions”), as the case may be, on or before the Early Submission Deadline, among other things, to also either (i) in the case of International Notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, take appropriate steps to ensure that the International Notes held through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg which were the subject of Electronic Voting Instructions were blocked until the earlier of (a) the conclusion of the relevant International Noteholders' Meeting (or, if later, the adjourned relevant International Noteholders’ Meeting) or (b) the failure to obtain the necessary quorum at any such adjourned International Noteholders’ Meeting; or (ii) in the case of International Notes held through DTC, be deemed to have represented and agreed, in respect of International Notes for which it has submitted (or arranged to have submitted on its behalf) DTC Instructions, to not transfer its interest in such International Notes until the earlier of: (a) the conclusion of the relevant International Noteholders' Meeting (or, if later, the adjourned relevant International Noteholders’ Meeting) and (b) the failure to obtain the necessary quorum at any such adjourned International Noteholders’ Meeting.
 
The Bank has elected to remove the requirement that the holders of International Notes submit Voting Instructions or any other form of instruction in respect of such International Notes in order to be eligible for the Early Submission Payment. As a result, holders of the 2014 Notes who are holders of record at the date of the International Noteholders’ Meeting (being Tuesday 22 December 2009 or, if later, the date of the adjourned International Noteholders’ Meeting, if any) will be entitled to receive the Early Submission Payment in respect of such 2014 Notes, regardless of whether they have voted, subject in all cases to the Bank’s Restructuring Date (as defined in the Information Memorandum) occurring.
 
DTC Direct Participants who are holders of record of the 2014 Notes on the date of the International Noteholders' Meeting for the 2014 Notes (or, if later, the adjourned such Meeting) and therefore eligible for the Early Submission Payment (subject to the Restructuring Date occurring) must complete an Early Submission Payment Details Form in the form attached to this Notice and return it to the Principal Paying Agent at the address specified therein on or following the date of the International Noteholders’ Meeting for the 2014 Notes (or, if later, the date of the adjourned such Meeting) and before the deadline described below, in order to receive the Early Submission Payment (subject to the Restructuring Date occurring), provided, that DTC Direct Participants who have already submitted forms of sub-proxy in respect of the International Noteholders’ Meeting for the 2014 Notes containing payment details need not take further action.

The Early Submission Payment will not be paid to any DTC Direct Participant who holds a position in the 2014 Notes on the date of the International Noteholders’ Meeting for the 2014 Notes (or, if later, the date of the adjourned such Meeting) that has not duly completed either a form of sub-proxy or an Early Submission Payment Details Form and returned such form to the Principal Paying Agent in the manner described therein. As set forth in the Early Submission Payment Details Form, in order to be considered duly filed, it must be filed on or before 5.00 p.m. (London time) on the thirtieth day following the date of the International Noteholders’ Meeting for the 2014 Notes (or, if later, the date of the adjourned such Meeting) provided, that if such thirtieth day is not a Business Day, it must be filed on or before 5.00 p.m., (London time) on the Business Day immediately following such thirtieth day.
 
In no event will any DTC Direct Participant receive an Early Submission Payment in respect of an aggregate amount of 2014 Notes which exceeds such DTC Direct Participant’s holding on the date of the International Noteholders’ Meeting for the 2014 Notes (or, if later, the date of any adjourned such Meeting), and if a DTC Direct Participant submits an Early Submission Payment Details Form and/or has submitted a form of sub-proxy containing payment instructions in which (either singularly or together) it indicates that it held an aggregate amount of 2014 Notes which is in excess of such DTC Direct Participant’s holding on the date of the Noteholders’ Meeting for the 2014 Notes (or if later, the date of any adjourned such Meeting), such DTC Direct Participant will not be eligible for the Early Submission Payment.
 
Neither the Trustee nor any of its advisers express any view or make any recommendations as to the merits of the proposals contained in this Notice. The Trustee has not been involved in formulating or negotiating the proposals referred to in this Notice relating to the 2014 Notes and makes no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to the Noteholders in or pursuant to the Information Memorandum and this Notice.
