This Supplement is supplemental to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Registration Document and the relevant Base Prospectus and any other supplements thereto published by the Issuer. Terms defined in the Registration Document or, as the case may be, the relevant Base Prospectus and not defined in this Supplement have the same meaning when used in this Supplement. Where information in this Supplement is expressed to amend, update or supplement the information contained in the Registration Document, such information shall also amend, update or supplement the Base Prospectuses, which should be read together with the Registration Document as so supplemented.
The Issuer and, in respect of the Covered Bond Programme only, the LLP, each accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Supplement. To the best of the knowledge of the Issuer and, in respect of the Covered Bond Programme only, the LLP, the information contained in this Supplement is in accordance with the facts and this Supplement makes no omission likely to affect its import.
This Supplement has been approved as a supplement to the Registration Document and to the Base Prospectuses by the Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA), as competent authority under the UK Prospectus Regulation. The FCA only approves this Supplement as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the UK Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or, in respect of the Covered Bond Programme, the LLP, or the quality of the Notes and Covered Bonds that are the subject of this Supplement (Notes and Covered Bonds, respectively), the Registration Document and the Base Prospectuses and investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in any Notes issued under the European Note Programme or the USMTN Programme or any Covered Bonds issued under the Covered Bond Programme, as the case may be.
A copy of this Supplement has also been submitted to the London Stock Exchange plc (the London Stock Exchange) in connection with the application for Exempt Notes issued under the European Note Programme to be admitted to trading on the International Securities Market (the ISM) of the London Stock Exchange.

1 Following the acquisition of Virgin Money, the Society changed its accounting reference date to 31 March. Where reference is made to the 'year' ended 31 March 2025, this represents the 361-day period from 5 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The 2024 comparatives are presented as at 4 April 2024, and have not been restated to include the Virgin Money results prior to the acquisition on 1 October 2024. See Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
2 Except for the final three sentences of the paragraph immediately preceding the sub-heading 'Gain on acquisition' in Note 19 on page 105 of the Preliminary Results Announcement.
If documents which are incorporated by reference themselves incorporate by reference any information or other documents therein, either expressly or implicitly, such information or other documents will not form part of the Registration Document or the Base Prospectuses for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation or the ISM Rulebook, except where such information or other documents are specifically stated to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Document or the relevant Base Prospectus.
Any non-incorporated parts of the Preliminary Results Announcement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, means any parts not identified as being incorporated by reference in the cross-reference list above) are either deemed not relevant for an investor or are otherwise covered elsewhere in the Registration Document or, as applicable, the relevant Base Prospectus.
The Preliminary Results have been properly prepared on the basis set out in Note 2 on pages 78 to 80 of the Preliminary Results Announcement and, as stated therein, the accounting policies adopted for use in the preparation of the Preliminary Results Announcement and which will be used in preparing the Annual Report and Accounts for the period ended 31 March 2025 were included in the Issuer's 'Annual Report and Accounts 2024' document, except as provided in Note 2. Accordingly, subject as provided in Note 2, the Preliminary Results have been compiled and prepared on a basis which is both comparable with the historical financial information of the Issuer for the financial year ended 4 April 2024 and consistent with the Issuer's accounting policies.
The following paragraph is deemed to be inserted as a new paragraph immediately following the sub-section (as previously supplemented and amended pursuant to the supplement dated 11 December 2024) "Description of Business - Recent developments - Proposed Virgin Money Acquisition - Proposed Senior Management changes following the Acquisition" on page 103 of the Registration Document, including as such document is incorporated by reference in, and forms part of, each Base Prospectus:
There has been no significant change in the financial performance or financial position of the Issuer or the Group (comprising the Issuer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole) since 31 March 2025.
To the extent that there is any inconsistency between (a) any statement in this Supplement or any statement incorporated by reference into the Registration Document or the relevant Base Prospectus by this Supplement and (b) any other statement in or incorporated by reference in the Registration Document or the relevant Base Prospectus, the statements in (a) above will prevail.
Save as disclosed in this Supplement and any supplement to the Registration Document and the relevant Base Prospectus issued previously, there has been no other significant new factor, material mistake or material inaccuracy relating to information included in the Registration Document or the relevant Base Prospectus since the respective dates of publication of the Registration Document and the relevant Base Prospectus.
The date of this Supplement is 29 May 2025.
