(the "Tranche B Notes")

(and the Tranche A Notes and the Tranche B Notes together, the "Notes")

to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposals (as defined herein), being (i) the extension of the maturity of the Notes to 12 April 2024; (ii) certain modifications of Condition 7.1 (Interest Rate and Interest Payment Dates) of the terms and conditions of the Notes (the "Conditions"); (iii) the insertion of a new Condition 7A (Conversion of Interest); and (iv) the addition of a new covenant to Condition 5 (Covenants) and a related electronic voting mechanism in Schedule 3 (Provisions for Noteholders Meetings) of the Trust Deed (as defined herein), by way of extraordinary resolution of the holders of the Notes (the "Extraordinary Resolutions"), all as further described in this Consent Solicitation Memorandum (such invitation in respect of the Notes, the "Consent Solicitation").

A notice (the "Notice") convening each Meeting to be held at the offices of Fieldfisher LLP, Riverbank House, 2 Swan Lane, London, EC4R 3TT, at 10.00 a.m. (London Time) in respect of the Tranche A Notes (the "Tranche A Notes Meeting") and at 10.15 a.m. (London time) or after the completion of the Tranche A Notes Meeting (whichever is later) in respect of the Tranche B Notes (the "Tranche B Notes Meeting") on 25 March 2022, access to which for Noteholders that wish to attend in person or appoint a proxy (other than the Information and Tabulation Agent or the Registrar) will be granted only via a Microsoft Teams video conference meeting ID to be provided by Fieldfisher LLP upon request, has been given to Noteholders in accordance with the relevant Conditions (each as defined herein) on the date of this Consent Solicitation Memorandum. The form of the Notice is set out in the Annex (Form of Notice of Meetings) to this Consent Solicitation Memorandum.

The Consent Solicitation is expected to expire at 10.00 a.m. (London time) in respect of the Tranche A Notes and 10.15 a.m. (London time) in respect of the Tranche B Notes on 23 March 2022 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Deadline").

The deadlines set by any intermediary or Clearing System (as defined herein) will be earlier than the deadlines set out in this Consent Solicitation Memorandum. Noteholders that do not deliver a valid Electronic Voting Instruction, but who wish to attend and vote at the relevant Meeting in person or to be represented or to otherwise vote at the relevant Meeting, in each case via a Microsoft Teams video conference meeting ID to be provided by Fieldfisher LLP upon request, must make the necessary arrangements by the Expiration Deadline.

In light of the UK Government's response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Issuer strongly encourages all Noteholders to submit their Electronic Voting Instructions or to make other arrangements to be represented or to vote at the relevant Meeting in accordance with the Meeting Provisions via a Microsoft Teams video conference meeting ID to be provided by Fieldfisher LLP upon request. Due to the regular changes of the UK Government's laws in relation to COVID-19, attending the relevant Meeting in person may breach UK Government guidelines on the Meeting Date. Therefore, the Issuer is not giving the option for Noteholders to attend at the physical place of the Meetings.
