Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority in its capacity as competent authority (the UK Listing Authority) for the Bonds to be admitted to the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the London Stock Exchange) for the Bonds to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market. The London Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC (the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive). Interest on the Bonds is payable semi-annually in arrear on 20th February and 20th August in each year at the rate of 4.375 per cent. per annum, commencing on 20th August, 2014, as described in Condition 7 (Interest).

The Issuer may also, at its option, redeem all, but not some only, of the Bonds at any time at their principal amount plus accrued interest, in the event of certain tax changes as described in Condition 9.2 (Redemption for Taxation Reasons) and shall redeem all, but not some only, of the Bonds at their principal amount plus accrued interest, within 180 days in the event that the Issuer ceases to be a Registered Provider of Social Housing (as defined below) subject to and as described in Condition 9.4 (Mandatory Early Redemption). Unless previously redeemed the Bonds will be redeemed in full on 20th February, 2054 (the Maturity Date).

Moody's is established in the European Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended). As such Moody's is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the European Securities and Markets Authority on its website in accordance with such Regulation. The Bonds will be issued in denominations of £100,000 and integral multiples of £1,000 in excess thereof. The Bonds will initially be represented by a temporary global bond (the Temporary Global Bond), without interest coupons, which will be deposited on or about 20th February, 2014 (the Closing Date) with a common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg).
