Changes to your Lloyds TSB Share Dealing Service
        from June 2013.
        We have worked extremely hard to try to
        make sure this service change brings
        as little disruption to you as possible.
        To ensure you have all the information
        you need about what’s happening we
        have created a simple and straight
        forward booklet to help you identify if any
        of the changes affect you. We hope that
        this booklet helps to answer the questions
        you may have but we’re always here to
        help if there’s anything you want to talk
        to us about.

        Please note that, once the changes have
        taken place, the Lloyds TSB Share Dealing
        Service will be provided by Halifax Share
        Dealing Limited, which is part of the Lloyds
        Banking Group.

        *AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the rate of return would be if the return was paid and compounded
        once each year. This allows you to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time. You will be
        able to use this AER to compare to other products displaying an AER.                                                                        3
