Lloyds Banking Group plc Provides Motor Finance Update Lloyds Banking Group plc announced that further to the Supreme Court's judgment on the appeal against the Court of Appeal's decision in Wrench, Johnson and Hopcraft, which was handed down last August 2025, the Group has undertaken an initial assessment of the impact of the judgment. The judgment overturned the Court of appeal in relation to fiduciary duties and bribery by determining that motor dealers acting as credit brokers do not owe fiduciary duties to their customers and that the payment of commission in this context could not constitute a bribe. In one of the cases before it (Johnson), the Supreme Court considered whether an unfair relationship had arisen between the lender and the borrower for the purposes of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. The Supreme Court confirmed that the test for unfairness was highly fact-sensitive and required consideration of all relevant matters. It determined that there was unfairness in the case of Mr. Johnson and awarded a refund of the commission paid plus interest at a commercial rate to remedy that unfairness. As previously stated, in establishing the existing provision the Group created a range of scenarios to address uncertainties around a number of key assumptions. These included a range of potential Supreme Court outcomes, regulatory responses and outcomes in relation to compensation. Whilst the judgment announced on 1 August provides additional clarity, there remain a number of uncertainties that the Group continues to consider in its approach to provisioning. The Group's approach therefore continues to include the assessment of multiple scenarios. The FCA announced that it will publish a consultation on an industry wide compensation scheme by early October. The FCA will propose that the scheme covers discretionary commission arrangements (DCA) and will consult on which non-DCA arrangements should be included. The FCA outlined certain other factors on which they will consult. The ultimate impact on the Group will be determined by a number of factors still to be resolved, in particular the outcome of the FCA consultation and any further interventions as well as any broader implications of the judgment, including legal proceedings and complaints. After initial assessment of the Supreme Court judgment, and pending resolution of the outstanding uncertainties, in particular the FCA compensation scheme, the Group currently believes that if there is any change to the provision it is unlikely to be material in the context of the Group. The provision will continue to be reviewed for any further information that becomes available, with an update provided as and when necessary. As stated in the recent half year results, the Group has continued to perform in line with guidance. The Group delivered sustained strength in financial performance with continued income growth, cost control, resilient asset quality and strong capital generation of 86bps in the first half of 2025.

Lloyds Prepares Bid to Buy Tesco Bank as Supermarket Moves to Offload Lending Unit Lloyds Banking Group plc (LSE:LLOY) has emerged as a possible suitor for Tesco Personal Finance plc as the supermarket chain pushes on with plans to offload its lending unit. Lloyds' rival Barclays PLC (LSE:BARC) has also been linked with a bid for the unit, which offers credit cards, loans and insurance products rather than traditional current accounts and is not seen in the bracket of a traditional challenger bank. The bank also owns an insurance underwriter that could be sold as part of the deal. The supermarket launched a review of its banking operations in February, hiring Goldman Sachs to consider options and sound out bids for the company. Due to the varied nature of Tesco Bank's products, a buyer could also choose to hive off parts of the business or form a joint venture. Any purchase by Lloyds would be seen as a bolt-on deal rather than transformative, given the relatively small size of Tesco's operations. Lloyds has made a number of small takeovers in recent years to bolster its offering, including buying Embark and Tusker. Buyers may be attracted by the potential to acquire Tesco's financial services customers and cross sell other financial products to them. Reported Earnings • Oct 26

Barclay Family Reportedly Lines Up £1 Billion Bid for Telegraph Ahead of Auction THE Barclay family has put forward a £1 billion offer for The Telegraph to Lloyds Banking Group plc (LSE:LLOY) in the hope of regaining control of the publisher ahead of a looming auction. The family, which owned Telegraph Media Group Limited (TMG) for almost two decades, is understood to have secured financing from Abu Dhabi investors in a development first reported by Sky News. Members of the Abu Dhabi ruling family are reported to be involved in discussions, including the Manchester City Football Club majority shareholder Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Lloyds Banking Group declined to comment. The offer is the latest attempt by the Barclays to regain control of The Telegraph, which was placed into receivership by Lloyds Bank following a dispute over unpaid debts. It comes only weeks after a proposal for £725 million was submitted. Lloyds currently owns The Telegraph but has no involvement in editorial matters. The latest bid comes ahead of the start of a planned auction for the group, which is expected to begin as soon as this week. Several bidders have already expressed an interest, including hedge fund manager and GB News owner Paul Marshall, who has lined up backing from American billionaire Ken Griffin. The Daily Mail has also expressed an interest and is said to have held discussions with investors in the Middle East about a possible bid. Others to have publicly said they are keen to bid include National World Plc (LSE:NWOR), a local newspaper and news website publisher founded by a former editor of the News of the World, and German media giant Axel Springer SE, which owns newspapers Bild and Die Welt. Axel Springer previously lost out to the Barclays in a bidding war for The Telegraph in 2004. William Lewis, a former editor of The Telegraph, has said he had also lined up funding for a potential takeover. Any deal would have to be cleared by media and competition regulators.
