outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Relevant Tier 1 Securities

before Conversion or Write-off of the Subordinated Notes; and

(ii) second, if conversion, write-off or write-down of those Relevant Tier 1

the Subordinated Notes and any Relevant Tier 2 Securities (subject to such

adjustments as the Issuer may determine to take into account the effect on

marketable parcels and whole numbers of Ordinary Shares and any

Subordinated Notes or Relevant Tier 2 Securities remaining on issue, and the

Amount, except that the calculation

date shall be the Conversion Date)

off and terminated for an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount and the

Issuer will apply such Outstanding Principal Amount of each such Subordinated Note

to be so Converted to subscribe for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued

providing for payments to be delayed) and Holders do not have any right to payment

in any other way.

or Clearing Systems), then, with effect from the Non-Viability Trigger Event Date, the

Holder’s rights in relation to each such Subordinated Note being Converted shall be
