('NBNK' or the 'Company')

Result of Annual General Meeting

At the Company's Annual General Meeting, held at 9.30 am today, Wednesday 27 June 2012, all resolutions put to the meeting were duly passed.

The Chairman later confirmed that:

"As previously announced by Lloyds Banking Group ('LBG'), it has disclosed further information to the Company relating to the Verde asset package. Accordingly NBNK has submitted a revised proposal in advance of LBG's board meeting."

"NBNK's revised proposal makes clear the basis upon which it would be able to continue discussions with LBG on the Verde process. Given the demands of the divestment timetable, there is a very short window of time within which NBNK believes that a sale process can be agreed and a transaction completed."

"We have updated shareholders on the Company's current position and await the outcome of deliberations on the future of the Verde process at LBG's forthcoming board meeting."
