Additional Non-Executive Directors of Lloyds Bank plc and Bank of Scotland plc and their biographical profiles.

The following are directors only of Lloyds Bank plc and Bank of Scotland plc which together form the Ring Fenced Banks of the Lloyds Banking Group in the context of U.K. financial regulations. The concept of the Ring Fenced Banks was created in order to protect consumer banking services from shocks to the wider financial system. As the Group is focussed on the U.K. and on retail and commercial banking customers, the majority of our banking business is undertaken within the Ring Fenced Banks.

There are therefore separate Boards for the Group and the Ring Fenced Banks. Most Board meetings are “aligned” meetings where the boards of the Group and the Ring Fenced Banks come together to consider matters from the perspective of the Ring Fenced Banks and the wider Group. Separate Board meetings of the Ring Fenced Banks and the Group are convened bi-annually to ensure the separate interests of the respective Boards are considered independently.

The Boards of the Ring Fenced Banks comprise all of the Group Directors and the Ring Fenced Bank-only Directors. The role of the Ring Fenced Bank-only Directors is to act independently and exclusively in the best interests of the Ring Fenced Banks, with an enhanced role in managing any potential conflicts between the Ring Fenced Banks and the Group. In order to ensure that they are able to do this, the Ring Fenced Bank-only Directors also attend the Group-only Board meetings as observers.

    As the 2017 and 2018 Executive Group Ownership Share awards have achieved their three-year performance period with performance outcomes of 49.7% and 33.75% respectively, any unvested awards will not be time pro-rated and will continue to vest at the normal vesting times and be released on their scheduled release dates, subject to the relevant terms (as outlined above).

    Employees taking retirement are treated as ‘good leavers’ under the Group Share Incentive Plan rules (SIP). Accordingly, António can no longer participate in the SIP plan and shares held in the SIP Trust on his behalf need to be removed from the Trust within 30 days from the date of his retirement.

    As António’s retirement date is before the maturity date of the 2019 and 2020 Sharesave plans, under the rules of the Sharesave Schemes, he can choose to continue to make contributions for six months post his retirement date, use his savings to purchase the shares at the option price or withdraw his savings.
