outstanding principal amount of the Securities. A notice of redemption pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture
dated November 4, 2014 as amended and supplemented by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture dated June 15, 2021 governing the Securities
has been distributed to The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London Branch, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).
The
outstanding Securities will be redeemed on September 15, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”) at an amount equal to 100% of
their principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the “Redemption
Price”). Accordingly, the listing of the Securities on the New York Stock Exchange will be cancelled on, or shortly after,
September 15, 2026.

location where Holders may surrender the Securities and obtain payment of the Redemption Price is The Bank of New York Mellon, London
Branch, 160 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4LA, United Kingdom, Attn: Corporate Trust Administration, Email: corpsov4@bnymellon.com
On
the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable and interest on the Securities will cease to accrue. Before the
Redemption Date, the Group will irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the
total Redemption Price of each of the Securities. When the Group makes such a deposit, all rights of holders of the Securities will cease,
except the holders’ rights to receive the Redemption Price, but without interest, and the Securities will no longer be outstanding.
