Subject: Computershare appointed preferred supplier in UK Asset ResolutionLimited tenderprocess

Computershare Limited (ASX: CPU) confirms that it has been appointed preferred supplier in the tender process to undertake the mortgage servicing activities of UK Asset Resolution Limited (UKAR), which was established in 2010 to administer the closed mortgage books of both Bradford & Bingley and Northern Rock Asset Management.

The appointment follows a rigorous tender process. Computershare can now work with UKAR on an exclusive basis to finalise details over the coming months, with a view to agreeing binding contract terms.

Key Transaction Highlights

  • The contract is for a seven-year term to undertake mortgage servicing activities on behalf of UKAR, with £30bn of assets under management. In addition, there are separate contracts for the servicing of the £13bn of assets purchased by Cerberus from UKAR in November 2015

  • After signing of a contract, around 1,700 staff based in Sunderland and West Yorkshire would transfer to Computershare and would continue to service customers

  • Mortgages will continue to be serviced on existing UKAR systems as part of the transaction

Assuming final agreement is reached with UKAR on this tender, Computershare expects contracts to be signed within the next three months at which time it will be in a position to provide further details.
