FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the
business, strategy, plans and/or results of Lloyds Banking Group plc together
with its subsidiaries (the Group) and its current goals and expectations.
Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements
about the Group's or its directors' and/or management's beliefs and
expectations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as, without
limitation, 'believes', 'achieves', 'anticipates', 'estimates', 'expects',
'targets', 'should', 'intends', 'aims', 'projects', 'plans', 'potential',
'will', 'would', 'could', 'considered', 'likely', 'may', 'seek', 'estimate',
'probability', 'goal', 'objective', 'deliver', 'endeavour', 'prospects',
'optimistic' and similar expressions or variations on these expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements concern or
may affect future matters, including but not limited to: projections or
expectations of the Group's future financial position, including profit
attributable to shareholders, provisions, economic profit, dividends, capital
structure, portfolios, net interest margin, capital ratios, liquidity,
risk-weighted assets (RWAs), expenditures or any other financial items or
ratios; litigation, regulatory and governmental investigations; the Group's
future financial performance; the level and extent of future impairments and
write-downs; the Group's ESG targets and/or commitments; statements of plans,
objectives or goals of the Group or its management and other statements that
are not historical fact and statements of assumptions underlying such
statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and
uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon circumstances that
will or may occur in the future. Factors that could cause actual business,
strategy, targets, plans and/or results (including but not limited to the
payment of dividends) to differ materially from forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to: general economic and business conditions in
the UK and internationally (including in relation to tariffs); acts of
hostility or terrorism and responses to those acts, or other such events;
geopolitical unpredictability; the war between Russia and Ukraine; the
conflicts in the Middle East; the tensions between China and Taiwan; political
instability including as a result of any UK general election; market related
risks, trends and developments; changes in client and consumer behaviour and

insurance business and defined benefit pension schemes; changes in laws,
regulations, practices and accounting standards or taxation; changes to
regulatory capital or liquidity requirements and similar contingencies; the
policies and actions of governmental or regulatory authorities or courts
together with any resulting impact on the future structure of the Group; risks
associated with the Group's compliance with a wide range of laws and
regulations; assessment related to resolution planning requirements; risks
related to regulatory actions which may be taken in the event of a bank or
Group failure; exposure to legal, regulatory or competition proceedings,
investigations or complaints; failure to comply with anti-money laundering,
counter terrorist financing, anti-bribery and sanctions regulations; failure
to prevent or detect any illegal or improper activities; operational risks
including risks as a result of the failure of third party suppliers; conduct
risk; technological changes and risks to the security of IT and operational
infrastructure, systems, data and information resulting from increased threat
of cyber and other attacks; technological failure; inadequate or failed
internal or external processes or systems; risks relating to ESG matters, such
as climate change (and achieving climate change ambitions) and
decarbonisation, including the Group's ability along with the government and
other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate
change effectively, and human rights issues; the impact of competitive
conditions; failure to attract, retain and develop high calibre talent; the
ability to achieve strategic objectives; the ability to derive cost savings
and other benefits including, but without limitation, as a result of any
acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions; inability to capture
accurately the expected value from acquisitions; assumptions and estimates
that form the basis of the Group's financial statements; and potential changes
in dividend policy. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the
Group's control. Please refer to the latest Annual Report on Form 20-F filed
by Lloyds Banking Group plc with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC), which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, for a

written materials and in oral statements made by the directors, officers or
employees of Lloyds Banking Group plc to third parties, including financial
analysts. Except as required by any applicable law or regulation, the
forward-looking statements contained in this document are made as of today's
date, and the Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to
release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements
contained in this document whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. The information, statements and opinions contained in
