By virtue of this Supplementary Offering Circular, the auditors' report and the audited consolidated and non-consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for the 12 months ended 28th February, 2013 (the "2013 Financial Statements"), which appear on pages 19 to 110 of the directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 28th February, 2013 which was published on 31st May, 2013 and has been filed with the FCA, shall be deemed to be incorporated in, and to form part of, the Offering Circular.
During the year ended 28th February, 2013, the Group revised the capital disclosure of the holding in its insurance regulated associate, Tesco Underwriting Limited. This change reduced previous calculations of the Group's core tier one capital ratio. Accordingly, the final sentence in the section headed "Tesco Personal Finance PLC – History and Development of Tesco Personal Finance PLC" is no longer accurate. As at 31st August, 2012, the Group had a core tier one capital ratio of 15.4 per cent (15.1 per cent. as at 31st August, 2011). As at 28th February, 2013, the core tier one capital ratio was 12.8 per cent. There is no change in the risk asset ratio.
The Issuer will pledge eligible assets, including certain securitised notes backed by its credit card receivables which were issued on 26th April, 2013, as collateral for borrowings of UK Treasury Bills under the Bank of England's Funding for Lending Scheme. In the event of insolvency, pledged assets will typically not form part of the property available for distribution to the general creditors of the Issuer and accordingly, may not be available to meet the claims of unsecured creditors including Noteholders. As at 30th June, 2013, the Issuer had drawn £600 million of UK Treasury Bills under the Funding for Lending Scheme.
John Reed resigned as a non-executive director of the Issuer on 13th February, 2013.
There has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of the Issuer or the Group since 28th February, 2013 and there has been no material adverse change in the financial position or prospects of the Issuer or the Group since 28th February, 2013.
Save as set out in relation to potential customer redress in respect of the historic sale of PPI and certain products sold to credit card customers in Note 32 to the 2013 Financial Statements, which appears on page 60 of the directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 28th February, 2013, there are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened) of which the Issuer is aware which may have, or have had during the 12 months prior to the date of this Supplementary Offering Circular, a significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Issuer or the Group.
Elements B.10 and B.12 of the Summary of the Programme, which appear on pages 9 to 14 of the Offering Circular, shall be supplemented to reflect the publication of the directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 28th February, 2013. Elements B.10 and B.12 of the Summary of the Programme as so supplemented are set out in the Appendix to this Supplement.

| * During the year, the Group identified that the Insurance Instalment Debtors, previously included within Other Assets, would be more appropriately classified as Loans and Advances to Customers. The impact of this change in the prior year was a reduction in Other Assets of £248.5m and a corresponding increase in Loans and Advances to Customers. This reclassification did not have any effect on the Group's net asset position. As a result of the above reclassification, the income recognised from Insurance Instalment Debtors was reclassified from Fees and Commissions Income to Interest Income. The impact of this change in the prior year was a reduction in Fees and Commissions Income of £42.8m and a related increase in Interest Income of an |
