involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon
circumstances that will or may occur in the future. Factors that could cause
actual business, strategy, plans and/or results (including but not limited to
the payment of dividends) to differ materially from forward looking statements

achieve strategic objectives; insurance risks; management and monitoring of
conduct risk; exposure to counterparty risk; credit rating risk; tightening of

inadequate or failed internal or external processes or systems; acts of
hostility or terrorism and responses to those acts, or other such events;
geopolitical unpredictability; risks relating to sustainability and climate
change (and achieving climate change ambitions), including the Lloyds Bank
Group's or the Lloyds Banking Group's ability along with the government and
other stakeholders to measure, manage and mitigate the impacts of climate
change effectively; changes in laws, regulations, practices and accounting
standards or taxation; changes to regulatory capital or liquidity requirements
and similar contingencies; assessment related to resolution planning
requirements; the policies and actions of governmental or regulatory
authorities or courts together with any resulting impact on the future
structure of the Lloyds Bank Group; failure to comply with anti-money
laundering, counter terrorist financing, anti-bribery and sanctions
regulations; failure to prevent or detect any illegal or improper activities;
projected employee numbers and key person risk; increased labour costs;
assumptions and estimates that form the basis of our financial statements; the
impact of competitive conditions; and exposure to legal, regulatory or
