MEANING OF ARTICLE 7(1) OF THE MARKET ABUSE REGULATION (EU)
596/2014
The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland
tender offer in respect of the GBP32,593,734 8.125 per cent
non-cumulative, non-redeemable preference shares issued by
Bristol & West plc
(a subsidiary of the Offeror and a member of the Bank of Ireland
Group)
(ISIN: GB0000510205)
The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland (the "Offeror"),
a subsidiary of Bank of Ireland Group plc ("BOIG"), today announces
invitations to holders to tender any and all of their GBP32,593,734
8.125 per cent non-cumulative, non-redeemable preference shares
issued by Bristol & West plc (itself a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Bank of Ireland Group) (the "Preference Shares") on the
terms set out in the offer memorandum dated today (the "Offer
Memorandum") and as summarised below (the "Tender Offer").
The Tender Offer is part of the Bank of Ireland Group's process
to optimise its capital structure, to achieve among other things, a
retirement of inefficient legacy perpetual instruments which no
longer qualify as regulatory capital while also providing liquidity
to Preference Share Holders.
Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement
have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Offer Memorandum
.
Overview of the Tender Offer
The Tender Offer is an invitation by the Offeror on the terms
and subject to the conditions contained in the Offer Memorandum to
Preference Share Holders (subject to applicable offer restrictions)
to tender their Preference Shares for purchase by the Offeror for
cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the
Offer Memorandum.
The indicative timetable for the Tender Offer, including the
expiration deadlines and settlement dates, is set out below under
"Indicative Timetable".
The Offeror is not under any obligation to accept for purchase
any Preference Shares tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer. The
acceptance for purchase by the Offeror of Preference Shares
tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer is at the sole and absolute
discretion of the Offeror and tenders may be rejected by the
Offeror for any reason.
Offer Price and Payment in Lieu of Dividend Amount
The Offeror will pay each Preference Share Holder in respect of
Preference Shares validly submitted for tender and accepted for
purchase by the Offeror (i) the price of GBP1.17500 per Preference
Share (the "Offer Price"); and (ii) a cash amount per Preference
Share equal to the amount of the dividends that would have accrued
on the Preference Shares from (and including) the date of the
relevant preceding preference dividend payment date for the
Preference Shares immediately preceding the relevant Settlement
Date to (but excluding) the relevant Settlement Date, if such
dividends were cumulative and calculated on the basis of a 365 day
year and the actual number of days elapsed in such period (the
"Payment in Lieu of Dividend Amount").

Lieu of Dividend Amount for each of the Early Settlement Date and
Retail Settlement Date.

Expiration Deadline, or changes to the relevant Settlement Dates,
will result in a corresponding adjustment to the Payment in Lieu of
Dividend Amount.
Liquidation
Bristol & West is no longer an active banking entity and has
no other material assets or liabilities apart from the Preference
Shares.
The Bank of Ireland Group's ultimate intention, following the
Tender Offer, is to wind up Bristol & West through a members'
voluntary liquidation process (the Liquidation). This would mean
that Bristol & West would cease to exist.
Any Liquidation is conditional upon receipt of the approval of
75% of Bristol & West's shareholders present and voting at a
general meeting.
If the Liquidation is approved by the requisite majority of
shareholders, holders of Preference Shares at the time (i.e. who
have not accepted the Tender Offer) are expected to receive a cash
distribution out of the Liquidation proceeds in accordance with the
articles of association of Bristol & West.
This distribution is expected to be no less than the higher of:
(i) shareholders' entitlement to Liquidation proceeds under the
existing articles of association of Bristol & West, being an
amount equal to the par value of their Preference Shares (i.e. GBP1
per Preference Share)) plus any accrued dividends up to the date of
commencement of the Liquidation; and (ii) the Offer Price less the
aggregate of dividend payments paid on the Preference Shares from
the date of the Offer Memorandum up until the date of commencement
of the Liquidation (which may be more or less than the value of the
Preference Shares at that time). The Bank of Ireland Group may
decide to pay more for the Preference Shares at the time of
Liquidation in order to reflect the value of the Preference Shares
at the time the Liquidation Resolution is passed.
Please note that, at this time, no decision has been made by
Bristol & West, the Offeror or any member of the Bank of
Ireland Group to proceed with the Liquidation, or any other
transaction in respect of the Preference Shares other than the
Tender Offer.
Further information about the Tender Offer and the Liquidation
can be found in the Offer Memorandum in Questions 5-8 of the
section headed "Questions and Answers about the Tender Offer".
Tender Instructions
In order to participate in the Tender Offer and be eligible to
receive the Offer Price and the Payment in Lieu of Dividend Amount,

must participate in the Tender Offer by arranging for the CREST
Participant through which they hold their Preference Shares to

Preference Share Holders who hold their Preference Shares
outside CREST in certificated form can complete a Tender
Instruction Form online at www.linkgroup.eu/bristol-and-west, to be

Tender Offer, the Offeror will only accept tenders of all (and not
part) of the Preference Shares held by a Preference Share Holder in
certificated form.
Tender Instructions will be irrevocable , except in limited
circumstances described in "Amendment and Termination".
Shareholders should refer to the Offer Memorandum (in the
section "Procedures for Participating in the Tender Offer") for
full details on how to participate in the Tender Offer.
Before making a decision with respect to the Tender Offer,
Preference Share Holders should carefully consider all of the
information in the Offer Memorandum and, in particular, the risk

2018 as amended ("UK MAR").
DISCLAIMER: This announcement must be read in conjunction with
the Offer Memorandum and any other announcements published in
connection with the Tender Offer. This announcement and the Offer
Memorandum contain important information which should be read
carefully before any decision is made with respect to the Tender
Offer. If you are in any doubt as to the contents of this
announcement or the Offer Memorandum or the action you should take,
you are recommended to seek your own financial and legal advice,
including as to any tax consequences, immediately from your broker,
solicitor, accountant or other independent financial or legal
adviser. Any person whose Preference Shares are held on its behalf
by a custodian, broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee or intermediary (each an "Intermediary") should
contact such Intermediary urgently if it wishes to participate in
the Tender Offer. None of the Offeror, Bristol & West, the
Dealer Managers, the Receiving Agent or the Retail Information
Agent makes any recommendation as to whether holders should tender
Preference Shares pursuant to the Tender Offer. Shareholders should
consult their own advisers as needed to assist them in making a
decision in respect of the Tender Offer and to advise them whether
they are legally permitted to tender their Preference Shares.
OFFER AND DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS : Neither this announcement
nor the Offer Memorandum constitutes an offer or an invitation to
participate in the Tender Offer in any jurisdiction in which, or to
any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such invitation
or for there to be such participation under applicable securities
laws. The distribution of the Offer Memorandum in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose
possession the Offer Memorandum comes are required by each of the
Offeror, Bristol & West, the Dealer Managers, the Receiving
Agent and the Retail Information Agent to inform themselves about
and to observe any such restrictions.
Retail Investors or Institutional Investors who believe they are
unable to participate in the Tender Offer due to the offer and
distribution restrictions set out below are urged to contact the
Retail Information Agent (in the case of Retail Investors) or the
Dealer Managers (in the case of Institutional Investors) as a
matter of priority.
United States: The Tender Offer is not being made and will not
be made to (or for the account or benefit of) U.S. persons (as
defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) or directly or
indirectly in or into, or by use of the mails of, or by any means
or instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce of or of any
facilities of a national securities exchange of, the United States.
This includes, but is not limited to, facsimile transmission,
electronic mail, telex, telephone, the internet and other forms of
electronic communication. The Preference Share may not be tendered
in the Tender Offer by any such use, means, instrumentality or
facility from or within the United States or by U.S. persons or by
persons located or resident in the United States as defined in
Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). Accordingly, copies of the Offer Memorandum and
any other documents or materials relating to the Tender Offer are
not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly mailed or
otherwise transmitted, distributed or forwarded (including, without
limitation, by custodians, nominees or trustees) in or into the
United States or to any persons located or resident in the United
States or to U.S. persons. Any purported tender of Preference
Shares in the Tender Offer resulting directly or indirectly from a
violation of these restrictions will be invalid and any purported
tender of Preference Shares made by a U.S. person or by a person
located in the United States or any agent, fiduciary or other
Intermediary acting on a non-discretionary basis for a principal
that is a U.S. person or that is giving instructions from within
the United States will be invalid and will not be accepted.
As used in this document, "United States" means the United
States of America, its territories and possessions (including
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Wake
Island and the Northern Mariana Islands), any state of the United
States of America and the District of Columbia.
Each Preference Shareholder participating in the Tender Offer
will represent that it is not a U.S. Person, is not located in the
United States and is not participating in the Tender Offer from the
United States, or it is acting on a non-discretionary basis for a
principal located outside the United States that is not a U.S.
person and is not giving an order to participate in the Tender
Offer from the United States.
In addition, nothing in the Offer Memorandum or the transmission
therefore constitutes or contemplates an offer of, or the offer to
purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell securities in the
United States or any other jurisdiction. The Preference Shares have
not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or
the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the
United States, and the Preference Shares may not be offered, sold
or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United States or
to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in
Regulation S under the Securities Act) except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable
state or local securities laws. Accordingly, the Offer Memorandum
must not be distributed in or into the United States or to U.S.
persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in
any circumstances.
United Kingdom: The communication of the Offer Memorandum by the
Offeror and any other documents or materials relating to the Tender
Offer are not being made, and such documents and/or materials have
not been approved, by an authorised person for the purposes of
section 21 of FSMA.
Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not being
distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the general public in
the United Kingdom. The communication of such documents and/or
materials as a financial promotion is only being made to, and may
only be acted upon by, those persons in the United Kingdom falling
within Article 43 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
(Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "Financial
Promotion Order") (which includes an existing member of Bristol
& West and, therefore, includes the Preference Share Holders)
or within the definition of investment professionals (as defined in
Article 19(5) of the Financial Promotion Order) or any other
persons to whom it may otherwise lawfully be made under the
Financial Promotion Order.
Ireland : The Tender Offer is not being made, directly or
indirectly, to the public in Ireland and no offers of any
Preference Shares under or in connection with such Tender Offer may
be effected to persons in Ireland except in conformity with the
provisions of Irish laws and regulations (the "Applicable Irish
Laws") including: (i) the Irish Companies Act 2014; (ii) the Irish
Central Bank Acts 1942 to 2023 (as amended) and any codes of
practice made under Section 117(1) of the Central Bank Act 1989 (as
amended); (iii) the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended), the
European Union (Prospectus) Regulations 2019 and any rules issued
under Section 1363 of the Companies Act by the Central Bank of
Ireland (the "Central Bank"); (iv) the European Union (Markets in
Financial Instruments) Regulations 2017 (as amended) and any codes
or rules of conduct applicable thereunder, Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 and any delegated or implementing acts adopted thereunder
and the provisions of the Investor Compensation Act 1998 (as
amended); and (v) the Market Abuse Regulation (EU 596/2014) (as
amended), the European Union (Market Abuse) Regulations 2016 (as
amended) and any rules and guidelines issued under Section 1370 of
the Irish Companies Act 2014 by the Central Bank.
The Tender Offer and any other documents or materials relating
to the Tender Offer must not be distributed to persons in Ireland
otherwise than in conformity with the provisions of the Applicable
Irish Laws.
General: Neither the Offer Memorandum nor this announcement
constitutes an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell
Preference Shares (and tenders of Preference Shares in the Tender
Offer will not be accepted from Preference Shareholders) in any
circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.
In addition to the representations referred to above in respect
of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, each
Shareholder participating in an Offer will also be deemed to give
certain representations, acknowledgements, warranties and
undertakings and make certain agreements in respect of the
jurisdictions referred to above and generally as described in the
Annex ("Agreements, Acknowledgements, Representations, Warranties
and Undertakings of Shareholders") of the Offer Memorandum.
Any tender of Preference Shares for purchase pursuant to the
Tender Offer from a Shareholder that is unable to make these
representations will not be accepted. Each of the Offeror, Bristol
& West, the Issuer, the Dealer Managers, the Receiving Agent
and the Retail Information Agent reserves the right, in its
absolute discretion to investigate, in relation to any tender of
Preference Shares for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer,
whether any such representation given by a Preference Share Holder
is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result
the Offeror determines (for any reason) that such representation is
not correct, such tender shall not be accepted.
The Offer Memorandum contains certain forward-looking statements
that reflect the Offeror's intent, beliefs or current expectations
about the future and can be recognised by the use of words such as
"expects," "will,", "anticipate," or words of similar meaning.
These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of any future
performance and are necessarily estimates reflecting the best
judgment of the senior management of the Offeror and involve a
number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking
statements. As a consequence, these forward-looking statements
should be considered in light of various important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or
projections contained in the forward-looking statements, which
include, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in the
Offer Memorandum. The Offeror cannot guarantee that any
forward-looking statement will be realised, although they believe
they have been prudent in their respective plans and assumptions.
Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties
and assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. Should known or
unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying
assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially
from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The Offeror
undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any
revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events,
except as required by applicable law.
