Survivor’s Option Payment Date: Subject to limitations, each February 15 and August 15 of each calendar year. See “Risk Factors — Any Survivor’s Option may be limited in amount, and any repayments made with respect to the exercise of a Survivor’s Option will not be made immediately” and “Description of the Survivor’s Option” starting on page S-6 and page S-17, respectively, in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
Interest Payment Dates: Interest on the Notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on the 21st day of each June and December (each an “Interest Payment Date”) beginning on (and including) December 21, 2012 and ending on the Maturity Date or the Survivor’s Option Payment Date, if applicable. For additional information see “Description of the Notes and the Guarantees — Payment of Principal, Interest and Other Amounts Due” starting on page S-10 in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
If an Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or the Survivor’s Option Payment Date, if applicable, for any Note is not a business day (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement), principal, premium, if any, and interest for that Note will be paid on the next business day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of such payments made on the next business day.
Any payments due on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the creditworthiness of Lloyds Bank, as the Issuer, and LBG, as the Guarantor of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes. A leading rating agency has placed certain of the Issuer's ratings, including its long-term ratings, under review for a downgrade (in accordance with its review of the ratings of Western European banks in general), and according to an announcement by that rating agency dated April 13, 2012, the review of the UK banks placed under review may be concluded before the end of June 2012. Such rating action may therefore fall on a date between the date hereof and the date of delivery of the Notes. There can however be no assurance as to the actual timing of the conclusion of such review or any such rating action.
