NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN OR INTO ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD VIOLATE THE LAW OF THAT JURISDICTION

NBNK Investments plc is pleased to announce that at the General Meeting and the Warrantholders' Meeting held earlier today, Shareholder Resolutions and the Warrantholder's Resolution in connection with the Tender Offer and Share Subscriptions were duly passed. The results of the General Meeting and the Warrantholders' Meeting are set out in detail below.

Accordingly, subject to and conditional on Admission, the Company will proceed with the purchase of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Tender Offer and the issue and allotment of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Share Subscription.

It is anticipated that Admission will occur at 8:00am on Friday 11 January 2013 which will also constitute the Founder Warrant Record Date for determining which Shareholders are entitled to be issued with a share of Founder Warrants entitled to subscribe for, in aggregate, approximately 1.63 per cent. of the Fully Diluted Share Capital, pro rata to the number of Ordinary Shares held by them as at 8:00am on Friday 11 January 2013.

As a result of the Share Subscription, the WLR Funds will hold 16,077,597 Ordinary Shares which will be equal to 29.9 per cent of the issued Ordinary Share capital of the Company on Admission. The maximum potential controlling position of the WLR Funds, assuming (i) full exercise of all New Warrants and Founder Warrants proposed to be issued to the WLR Funds (subject to and conditional on Admission) and (ii) no Warrants are exercised by any other party, will be 32.1 per cent. The combined maximum potential controlling position of the WLR Funds and the Invesco Funds (together the "Concert Party") assuming (i) full exercise of all Warrants proposed to be issued to and already held by the Concert Party and (ii) no Warrants are exercised by any other party, will be 59.9 per cent.

It is anticipated that CREST account holders who have tendered Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Tender Offer will have their CREST accounts credited for revised holdings of Ordinary Shares following the Tender Offer on or around 11 January 2013 and that cheques will be dispatched for certificated Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer and payment through CREST for uncertificated Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will be made on or around 14 January 2013.
