Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3
of
, if any person is, or becomes,

securities" of that company (including by means of an option in respect of,
or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must be
publicly disclosed by no later than 3:30pm (London time) on the London
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This
requirement will continue until the date on which the offer becomes, or is
declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn
or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends.
If two or more persons act
together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of Lloyds TSB

, they will be deemed to be a single
person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
