Notes:

 

A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not also be a member. A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights to a different share or shares held by the member.

 

To be effective the proxy appointment must be completed in accordance with the instructions and received by the Company no later than 48 hours before the time for which the meeting is convened.

 

Holders of the Company's preference shares have no entitlement to receive notice of, attend or vote at the meeting.NOTES TO RESOLUTIONS

 

Resolution 1

 

Under section 437 of the Companies Act 2006, the directors are required to present the Company's Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018 to a general meeting.

 

Resolution 2

 

Under section 439 of the Companies Act 2006, the Company is required to ask shareholders to vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2018.

 

Resolution 3

 

Under the section 439A of the Companies Act 2006 the Company is required to ask shareholders to vote on the Remuneration Policy. The Remuneration Policy is set out on pages 43 to 44 of the Directors' Remuneration Report contained in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018. The policy must be put to a shareholder vote and approved at least once every three years, unless during that time the policy needs to be changed.

 

Once approved, the Company will be able to make a remuneration payment to a current or prospective director if that payment is either consistent with the remuneration policy or, if it is not consistent with the remuneration policy, is approved by a shareholder resolution. The vote is binding meaning payments under the policy cannot be made until it has been approved by shareholders and, as a result, the policy will take effect from the passing of this resolution.

 

Resolution 4

 

To formally appoint the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditors of the Company to hold office with effect from the end of the meeting.

 

Resolution 5

 

Section 492 of the Companies Act 2006 requires the auditors' remuneration to be fixed by the Company's shareholders by ordinary resolution or in such a manner as the Company's shareholders may determine.

 

Resolution 6

 

Our policy is not to make donations to political parties or election candidates and the resolution is not designed to allow us to do so, it is merely as a precaution in case the legislation is inadvertently contravened. It is also implicit within our Corporate Governance Framework that political donations require shareholder approval and we are not aware of any instances occurring to date that would require such an approval (and do not expect there to be any).

 

In accordance with section 366 of the Companies Act 2006, the directors have decided to continue to seek shareholder authority for political donations and political expenditure in case activities of the Company or its subsidiaries are unintentionally caught by this legislation

 

Resolution 7

 

This resolution renews the authority given at the last AGM. Pursuant to Article 4.5 of the Company's Articles of Association, it allows the Company to buy back its 8⅝% preference shares.

 

Resolution 8

 

This resolution renews the authority given at the last AGM. Pursuant to Article 4.5 of the Company's Articles of Association, it allows the Company buy back its 10⅜% preference shares.

 

Resolution 9

 

This resolution renews the authority given at the last AGM. Pursuant to Article 4.5 of the Company's Articles of Association, it allows the Company to buy back its Series A Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Callable Preference Shares.

 

Resolution 10

 

To amend the quorum requirements for directors' meetings to ensure that the quorum includes an Independent Non-Executive Director.

 

Resolution 11

 

To ensure all Directors retire by rotation on an annual basis, in accordance with Provision 18 of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2018 which recommends that all directors of listed companies be subject to annual re-election by shareholders.
