For the purpose of this resolution, the terms "political donation" and "political expenditure" have the meanings as set out in sections 363 to 365 of the Companies Act 2006.

5. To approve the maximum ratio between the variable and fixed components of the total remuneration (hereinafter, the "Variable Remuneration Maximum Ratio") of certain executive directors and employees belonging to categories whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Company upon the terms set forth below:

(i) Reasons for this Resolution

The Company's remuneration policies are designed to encourage a high performance culture where people are rewarded and recognised for their performance and ability, and the impact they have on the Company's success. The Company wishes to ensure that the structure of its remuneration propositions are consistent with and promote effective risk management whilst also wishing to retain a degree of flexibility in its remuneration propositions. In particular, the Company is reluctant to raise fixed remuneration outside of its established pay framework and further increase fixed costs to the business by way of consolidated fixed remuneration.

(ii) Number of affected persons: will be as defined by the expected relevant Regulatory Technical Standards under the applicable EU Directive and the applicable UK Regulators' Remuneration Code, and being 56 as at 31 December 2013.

(iii) Positions held by the affected persons.

The beneficiaries of this Resolution are the Executive Directors of Santander UK plc or employees of Santander UK plc belonging to categories whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Company, including Divisional Directors or Senior Managers engaged in control functions, risk-taking employees as well as other employees whose total remuneration takes them into the same remuneration bracket as that for the foregoing categories (the "Identified Group"). The types of position affected by this resolution are specified in section (iii) below.

(iv) Variable Remuneration Maximum Ratio.

The Variable Remuneration Maximum Ratio to be applied to each category within the Identified Group will be as follows:

*Other employees whose professional activities have a material impact on the risk profile of the Company, or whose remuneration takes them into the same remuneration bracket as that for the foregoing categories or meets other criteria set forth in the draft Regulatory Technical Standards on criteria to identify categories of staff whose professional activities have a material impact on an institution's risk profile under Article 94(2) of Directive 2013/36/EU.

(v) Impact to the Company.

There is no expected impact of this Resolution to the Company's requirement to maintain a sound capital base.

The Company believes the proposed maximum ratios between the fixed and variable components of total remuneration are appropriate and further believes that:

i) the fixed and variable components of total remuneration remain appropriately balanced;

ii) the fixed component represents a sufficiently high proportion of the total remuneration to allow the operation of a fully flexible policy on variable remuneration components, including the possibility to pay no variable remuneration component; and

iii) the mix of fixed and variable remuneration is based on an appropriate consideration of accountability and risk and is aligned with the Company's risk frameworks and risk appetite.
