On 15 June 2016 Arbuthnot Banking Group ('ABG') sold 6 million shares in
Secure Trust Bank PLC ('STB'), which reduced its shareholding in STB from
51.92% to 18.93%. From this date the Group accounted for its remaining
shareholding in STB as an associate. After the sale of the 6 million shares,
the Group retained Board representation and as such is seen to have
significant influence over STB. The profit and cash flow from discontinued
operations relating to ELL have been shown in the tables above. The ELL
entities were subsidiaries of STB and therefore formed part of the STB number
reported in the operating segments of ABG. The tables below therefore reflect
the profit and cash flow from the STB group excluding ELL. The combined
impact can be seen in the operating segments (see note 1 - Retail banking).
