Rationale for the Offer

The Offer is being made to manage the Offeror’s debt profile proactively and provide liquidity
for investors in the Notes.

Notes purchased by the Offeror pursuant to the Offer are expected to be cancelled and will not
be re-issued or  re-sold. Notes  which have  not been  validly submitted  and/or accepted  for
purchase pursuant to the Offer will remain outstanding.

Purchase Price

The Offeror will pay for any Notes validly  tendered and accepted for purchase by it  pursuant
to the Offer a  purchase price for such  Notes (the “Purchase Price”)  to be determined at  or
around 10.30 a.m. (London time) on 10 April 2025 (the “Pricing Time”) in the manner  described
in the Tender Offer Memorandum  by reference to the annualised  sum (such annualised sum,  the
“Purchase Yield”) of (i) the purchase spread of  160 bps (the “Purchase Spread”) and (ii)  the
Benchmark Security Rate, as further described in the Tender Offer Memorandum.

Accrued Interest

The Offeror will also  pay an Accrued Interest  Payment in respect of  any Notes accepted  for
purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Final Acceptance Amount and Scaling

The Offeror proposes to  accept Notes for purchase  pursuant to the Offer  up to an  aggregate
principal amount  of  £125,000,000 (the  “Target  Acceptance Amount”).  However,  the  Offeror
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept significantly more or significantly less
than (or none of) the Target Acceptance Amount  for purchase pursuant to the Offer (the  final
aggregate principal amount of Notes  validly tendered pursuant to  the Offer that the  Offeror
decides, in  its sole  and  absolute discretion,  to accept  for  purchase, being  the  “Final
Acceptance Amount”).

If the Offeror decides to accept for purchase valid tenders of Notes pursuant to the Offer and
the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered for purchase pursuant to the Offer is
greater than the Final Acceptance Amount, the Offeror intends to accept such validly  tendered
Notes for purchase  on a  pro rata basis  such that  the aggregate principal  amount of  Notes
accepted for purchase pursuant  to the Offer  is no greater than  the Final Acceptance  Amount
and, for the  purpose of such  acceptance, each  such tender of  Notes will be  scaled by  the
Scaling Factor, subject to potential rounding adjustments, as further described in the  Tender
Offer Memorandum.

Tender Instructions

In order to  participate in, and  be eligible to  receive the Purchase  Price and the  Accrued
Interest Payment pursuant to, the Offer, Holders must validly tender their Notes for  purchase
by delivering, or arranging to have delivered on their behalf, a valid Tender Instruction that
is received by the Tender Agent  by 4.00 p.m. (London time)  on 9 April 2025 unless  extended,
re-opened, amended  and/or  terminated  as  provided  in  the  Tender  Offer  Memorandum  (the
“Expiration Deadline”).

Tender Instructions will be irrevocable except  in the limited circumstances described in  the
Tender Offer Memorandum.

Tender Instructions must be submitted in respect of a minimum principal amount of Notes of  no
less than £100,000  (being the minimum  denomination of the  Notes), and may  be submitted  in
integral multiples of £1,000 thereafter.

A separate Tender Instruction must be completed on behalf of each beneficial owner.
