General

The attention of Bondholders is particularly drawn to the quorum required for the Meeting and for an adjourned Meeting which is set out in "Voting and Quorum" below.

Bondholders who are in any doubt as to the impact of the Extraordinary Resolution are recommended to seek their own independent financial and legal advice, including in respect of any tax consequences.

The terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation Memorandum are without prejudice to the right of a Bondholder to attend and vote at the Meeting as set out in this Notice and in the Bond Trust Deed.

Subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, only Bondholders who have delivered a valid Electronic Voting Instruction (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) (which has not been revoked) by no later than the Early Instruction Deadline (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) will be eligible to receive the Early Voting Fee (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum), only if the Payment Conditions (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum) are satisfied. The Early Voting Fee is payable on the Settlement Date (as defined in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum).

Position of the Bond Trustee

In accordance with normal practice, the Bond Trustee expresses no opinion as to the merits of the Proposal. The Bond Trustee has not been involved in formulating the Proposal and makes no representation that all relevant information has been disclosed to Bondholders in this Notice and the Consent Solicitation Memorandum or otherwise and no recommendation to Bondholders as to whether to vote in favour or against the Extraordinary Resolution. Accordingly, the Bond Trustee urges Bondholders who are in any doubt as to the impact of the implementation of the Proposal to seek their own independent legal and/or financial advice. The Bond Trustee has, however, authorised it to be stated that, on the basis of the information set out in this Notice and the Consent Solicitation Memorandum, all of which the Bond Trustee recommends that Bondholders read carefully, it has no objection to the Proposal or the Extraordinary Resolution being submitted to the Bondholders for their consideration.

VOTING AND QUORUM

The relevant provisions governing the convening and holding of the Meeting are set out in Schedule 3 (Provisions for Meetings of Bondholders) to the Bond Trust Deed, a copy of which is available for inspection as referred to above.

Beneficial owners of Bonds who take the action described below need take no further action in relation to voting at the Meeting (and any adjourned Meeting) in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution.

IMPORTANT: The Bonds are currently represented by a bearer global Bond, which is held by a common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg (together, the Clearing Systems). Only persons shown in the records of a Clearing System as a holder of the Bonds (each a Direct Participant) may be issued with a voting certificate or otherwise give voting instructions in accordance with the procedures described below. Each person who is the beneficial owner of Bonds held, directly or indirectly, in an account in the name of a Direct Participant acting on such beneficial owner's behalf will not be a Bondholder for the purposes of this notice. Accordingly, if they have not already done so, beneficial owners should arrange for the Direct Participant through which they hold their Bonds to make arrangements on their behalf for the issue of a voting certificate or otherwise to give voting instructions.

A Bondholder wishing to attend and vote at the Meeting and any adjourned Meeting in person must produce at the Meeting a valid voting certificate issued by a Paying Agent in respect of the Bonds.

A Bondholder not wishing to attend and vote at the Meeting in person may either instruct a Paying Agent, through the Clearing Systems, to deliver the relevant voting certificate(s) to the person whom it wishes to attend on its behalf or give a voting instruction (in accordance with the procedures of the relevant Clearing System) instructing a Paying Agent to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the Meeting in accordance with his instructions.

A Bondholder must request the relevant Clearing System to block the relevant Bonds in its own account and to hold the same to the order or under the control of a Paying Agent not later than 48 hours (including all or part of two days upon which banks are open for business in London, Luxembourg and Belgium (disregarding for this purpose the day upon which the Meeting is to be held)) (48 hours) before the time appointed for holding the Meeting in order to obtain voting certificates or give voting instructions in respect of the Meeting. Bonds so blocked will not be released until the earlier of:

(a) the conclusion of the Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjourned Meeting); and

(b) (i) in respect of a voting certificate, the surrender to a Paying Agent of such voting certificate and notification by such Paying Agent to the relevant Clearing System of such surrender or the compliance in such other manner with the rules of the relevant Clearing System; or

(ii) in respect of voting instructions, the surrender not less than 48 hours before the time for which the Meeting (or, if applicable, any adjourned Meeting) is convened, of the receipt issued by a Paying Agent in respect of the relevant Bonds which are to cease to be held to the order, or under the control, of such Paying Agent and the same then being notified in writing by such Paying Agent to the Existing Issuer at its registered office at least 24 hours (as defined in the Bond Trust Deed) before the time appointed for holding the Meeting and such Bonds ceasing in accordance with the procedures of the relevant Clearing System and with the agreement of such Paying Agent to be held to its order or under its control.

For the avoidance of doubt, any voting instructions may not be revoked or amended during the period starting 48 hours before the time appointed for the relevant Meeting or any adjourned Meeting, as the case may be, and ending at the close of such Meeting (or adjourned Meeting).

Quorum and Adjournment

The Substitution comprises, and therefore the Extraordinary Resolution relates, to a Basic Terms Modification as defined in and for the purposes of the Bond Trust Deed. As such, the quorum required at the Meeting is one or more persons present holding voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and representing not less than 75 per cent. in Outstanding Principal Amount of the Bonds.

If within fifteen minutes (or such longer period not exceeding 30 minutes as the chairman of the Meeting may decide) after the time appointed for the Meeting a quorum is not present, the Meeting shall be adjourned for a period being not less than 13 clear days nor more than 42 clear days. At least 10 days' notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and the day on which the Meeting is to be held) of such adjourned Meeting shall be given, in the same manner as for the original Meeting, and such notice shall state the quorum required at such adjourned Meeting. The quorum at any such adjourned Meeting shall be one or more persons present holding voting certificates or being proxies or representatives and representing not less than 25 per cent. in Outstanding Principal Amount of the Bonds.

Voting certificates issued and electronic or other voting instructions given in respect of the relevant Meeting (unless revoked not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for any adjourned Meeting) shall remain valid for such adjourned Meeting.

Voting

Subject as described below, every question submitted to the Meeting shall be decided in the first instance by a show of hands and in case of an equality of votes the chairman of the Meeting shall both on a show of hands and on a poll have a casting vote in addition to the vote or votes (if any) to which he may be entitled as a holder of a voting certificate or as a proxy.

Unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman of the Meeting, the Existing Issuer, the Bond Trustee or by any person present holding voting certificates or being proxies (whatever the amount of the Bonds represented by them), a declaration by the chairman of the Meeting that a resolution has been carried or carried by a particular majority or lost or not carried by a particular majority shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

At the Meeting:

(c) on a show of hands, every person who is present in person and produces a voting certificate or is a proxy shall have one vote; and

(d) on a poll, every person who is so present shall have one vote in respect of each £1 (or such other amount as the Bond Trustee may in its absolute discretion stipulate) in Outstanding Principal Amount of the Bonds so represented by the voting certificates so produced or in respect of which he is a proxy.

The Bond Trustee has indicated that it will require the Extraordinary Resolution to be voted on by a poll without the need for a show of hands and this will be a condition of the chairman's appointment.

Extraordinary Resolution

To be passed, the Extraordinary Resolution requires a majority in favour consisting of not less than 75 per cent. of the votes cast on the poll.

Clearing Systems

Holders of Bonds held by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg should contact the Tabulation Agent for further information in respect of the respective procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg for voting.

Further or Alternative Regulations regarding the Meeting

In light of the ongoing developments in relation to COVID-19 (commonly referred to as coronavirus), it may become impossible or inadvisable to hold the Meeting at the offices of Addleshaw Goddard LLP. In that event, the Bond Trustee may (after consultation with the Existing Issuer where the Bond Trustee considers such consultation to be practicable but without the consent of the Existing Issuer, the Bondholders or the Couponholders) prescribe further or alternative regulations regarding the holding of the Meeting and attendance and voting thereat as the Bond Trustee may in its sole discretion reasonably think fit. This may include holding the Meeting by conference call or other electronic means.

In such circumstances, those Bondholders who have indicated that they wish to attend the Meeting in person will be provided with further details about attending the Meeting. Bondholders who have requested that their votes are included in a block voting instruction will be unaffected by these alternative regulations and will not be requested to take any further action.
