Excluding indebtedness issued under government-guaranteed funding programmes, none of the indebtedness set forth above is guaranteed by persons other than members of the Group. As of 31 March 2014, all indebtedness was unsecured except for £45.8 billion of securitisation notes and covered bonds and £3.5 billion of debt securities issued by the Group’s asset-backed conduits.
On 6 March 2014 the Group announced concurrent Sterling, Euro and Dollar exchange offers for holders of certain series of its Enhanced Capital Notes (ECNs) to exchange the ECNs for new Additional Tier 1 (AT1) securities. In addition to these exchange offers, the Group made a tender offer to eligible retail holders outside the United States to sell their Sterling-denominated ECNs for cash. The exchange offers completed in April 2014 with the equivalent of £4.0 billion of Sterling and Euro ECNs being exchanged for the equivalent of £4.35 billion of AT1 securities; and approximately US$1.6 billion of US Dollar ECNs being exchanged for US$ 1.675 billion of AT1 securities (approximately £1 billion). In total, therefore, approximately £5.35 billion of AT1 securities were issued. The retail tender offer also completed in April 2014, with approximately £58.5 million of ECNs being repurchased for cash. A loss of £1.4 billion in relation to these exchange and tender offers will be recognised in the second quarter of 2014.
Other than as described above, there have been no issuances or redemptions of subordinated liabilities since 31 March 2014.
Other than as described above, there has been no material change in the information set forth in the table above since 31 March 2014.
