PART 1: LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc The Rt Hon Viscount Younger of Leckie K.T. K.C.V.O. T.D. D.L. Chairman 23 May 2000 To ordinary and cumulative preference shareholders (and, for information only, to share option holders). In the Key Information Sheet dated 31 January 2000 issued in connection with the increased offer for NatWest, RBS announced its intention to issue Additional Value Shares to all shareholders in RBS in the event the offer was successful. This letter provides details of the proposals which the Company is making in relation to the issue of the Additional Value Shares, for which your approval will be sought at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 20 June 2000. Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting is set out in Part 8 of this document. Your approval will also be sought for proposals in relation to the Group's share and share option schemes and in relation to technical infringements of the Companies Act 1985 in respect of the payment of interim dividends in 1998 and 1999 on the Ordinary Shares and the payment of certain dividends on the Company's preference shares. Further details in respect of these proposals are set out later in this document. Progress with Integration of the NatWest Group As you will no doubt be aware, RBS's offer for NatWest was declared unconditional in all respects on 6 March 2000 and all shares in NatWest have now been acquired. RBS's management is in the process of implementing the various initiatives that were identi®ed during the course of the offer and believes that these will assist in the creation of a pre-eminent banking group in Europe. Implementation of Key Objectives All of the key objectives which were identi®ed and set down for the ®rst 30 days of the integration have now been completed. These include: c the formation of a new business architecture for the Group; c con®rming all key appointments and responsibilities; c aligning the internal control structure; and c the ®nalisation of a detailed three year operating plan for the Group. Disposals In the offer documentation relating to the acquisition of NatWest, RBS explained that it would carry out a detailed review of the NatWest Group to ascertain whether or not the Group would bene®t from the retention or disposal of certain businesses. As a result of this review, RBS has now agreed, subject to regulatory approvals, to sell Gartmore to Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company of Ohio for approximately £1.03 billion. It is anticipated that this sale will be completed by the end of June 2000. RBS has also agreed, subject to regulatory approvals, to the sale of Ulster Bank Investment Management Limited to KBC Group of Belgium and is currently proceeding with the disposal of the investment portfolios of NatWest Equity Partners. It has been decided that the US operations of Greenwich NatWest will be retained. 42 St Andrew Square Edinburgh EH2 2YE Telephone: 0131-556 8555 Registered in Scotland No. 45551 Registered Of®ce: 36 St Andrew Square Edinburgh EH2 2YB 3 Pro Forma Results I am pleased to con®rm that the pro forma results of the Group for the six months ended 31 March 2000 (excluding the results of the NatWest Group since its acquisition by RBS on 6 March 2000), have exceeded the forecast results published on 28 January 2000.

Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

  • Scotland Analysis: Financial Services and Banking
    Scotland analysis: financial services and banking Calculating the size of the Scottish banking sector relative to Scottish GDP The Treasury’s paper Scotland analysis: financial services and banking outlines that: • Banking sector assets for the whole UK at present are around 492 per cent of GDP. • The Scottish banking sector, by comparison, would be extremely large in the event of independence. It currently stands at around 1254 per cent of Scotland’s GDP. Data on total assets of the Scottish financial sector was provided to the Treasury by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), which was the regulator of all UK financial services firms up until 1 April 2013, when it was replaced by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). As the paper sets out, the analysis proceeds on the basis that firms whose headquarters or principal place of business are in Scotland are to be considered ‘Scottish’ firms. Further information about where individual firms are located is available from the financial services register, which is available from www.fca.org.uk/register/ When considering groups, legal entities are treated on an individual basis, rather than the whole group being classified as either Scottish or ‘rest of the UK’. For example within RBS group, Royal Bank of Scotland PLC is treated as a Scottish firm, but National Westminster Bank PLC is treated as a ‘rest of the UK’ firm: although it is part of RBS group, it is separately authorised and headquartered in London. The regulator is not able to provide data for publication about the size of assets held by individual firms, as there are restrictions on the sharing of firm-specific regulatory data.

    The NatWest Series 2001 CONTENTS Tuesday12June 2 Match review – England v Australia 4 Fixtures, regulations & umpires 3 Match preview – England v Pakistan 5 2001 NatWest series results + One day Pressure mounts records for England AUSTRALIA have already stamped their authority all over The NatWest Series after two outstanding displays at the weekend. Steve Waugh’s men eased to a seven- wicket triumph against Pakistan at Cardiff on Saturday, and then showed more bat- ting brilliance and composure to overhaul England’s impressive total of 268 for four at Bristol on Sunday. Opening their campaign with a double vic- tory has left any critics questioning Australia’s status as the one-day kings eating their words. Ricky Ponting claimed both man of the match awards with two outstanding dis- plays at the crease. First, he rifled a quick- fire 70 to give his side the early impetus they needed against Pakistan, then cracked 102 as the tourists timed their response against England to perfection, edging past their total with three balls to spare. Now England and Pakistan clash at Lord’s, knowing defeat - especially for the so-far pointless hosts - would leave keeping pace with Australia an uphill task. England drew comfort from the impressive displays of Ben Hollioake and Owais Shah after losing their opening exchange of the summer with the Aussies. The defeat against the world champions was England’s seventh successive loss and equalled their worst ever results sequence at one-day international level, recorded in 1993 and during the build-up to the last World Cup. At Bristol, Ben Hollioake and Owais Shah added a crucial 70 from 45 deliveries to propel England to a competitive total.
