PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(to prospectus dated June 7, 2013)

$1,000,000,000
Lloyds Banking Group plc
4.500% Fixed Rate Subordinated Debt Securities due 2024


The 4.500% Fixed Rate Subordinated Debt Securities due 2024 (the "Subordinated Notes") will bear interest at a rate of 4.500% per year. From
and including the date of issuance, interest will be paid on the Subordinated Notes on May 4 and November 4 of each year, beginning on May 4, 2015.
The Subordinated Notes will be due on November 4, 2024.


The Subordinated Notes will be issued in denominations of $200,000 and in multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.


The Subordinated Notes will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and subordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any
preference among themselves and ranking junior in right of payment to the claims of any existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness. In a winding up, all amounts due in respect of or arising under (including any damages awarded for breach of any obligations under) the
Subordinated Notes will be subordinated to, and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of, all claims of all Senior Creditors (as defined
herein).

By purchasing the Subordinated Notes, each holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Subordinated Notes acknowledges, agrees to
be bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power (as defined below) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result
in (i) the cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes and/or (ii) the conversion of all, or a
portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of LBG or
another person, which U.K. bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Subordinated Notes solely to give effect to
the above. With respect to (i) and (ii) above, references to principal and interest shall include payments of principal and interest that have
become due and payable (including principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date), but which have not been paid, prior to the
exercise of any U.K. bail-in power. Each holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Subordinated Notes further acknowledges and agrees
that the rights of the holders under the Subordinated Notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of
any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority expressed to implement such a cancellation or conversion.
For these purposes, a "U.K. bail-in power" is any write-down and/or conversion power existing from time to time under any laws,
regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms
incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to LBG or other members of the Group (as defined
herein), including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements which are implemented, adopted or enacted within the
context of a European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery
and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime by way of amendment to the
Banking Act 2009, as the same may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act
2013 (the "Banking Reform Act 2013") or otherwise), pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or
investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of
the obligor or any other person (and a reference to the "relevant U.K. resolution authority" is to any authority with the ability to exercise a
U.K. bail-in power).
By purchasing the Subordinated Notes, each holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Subordinated Notes, to the extent permitted
by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), waives any and all claims against the Trustee (as defined below) for, agrees not to
initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the Trustee takes, or abstains
from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to
the Subordinated Notes.

We may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest (if any) (i) upon the occurrence of certain tax events or (ii) upon occurrence of certain regulatory events, subject to the conditions described in
this prospectus supplement. See "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Conditions to Redemption and Repurchases" in this prospectus supplement.

Investing in the Subordinated Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement and as
incorporated by reference herein.

By its purchase of the Subordinated Notes, each holder (including each beneficial owner) shall be deemed to have (i) consented to the exercise of
any U.K. bail-in power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of its decision to exercise such power
with respect to the Subordinated Notes and (ii) authorized, directed and requested The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and any direct participant in
DTC or other intermediary through which it holds such Subordinated Notes to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise
of any U.K. bail-in power with respect to the Subordinated Notes as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such holder
or beneficial owner.

#21658679v1



(including any damages awarded for breach of any obligations under) the
Subordinated Notes will be subordinated to, and subject in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of, all claims of all Senior Creditors. The ranking
of our obligations shall be set out in the manner provided in the Subordinated
Indenture. In addition, because we are a holding company, our rights to

the prior claims of its creditors, including in the case of bank subsidiaries,
their depositors, except to the extent that we may be a creditor with

Agreement with Respect to the
By purchasing the Subordinated Notes, each holder (including each
Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power
beneficial owner) of the Subordinated Notes acknowledges, agrees to be
bound by and consents to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power (as defined
below) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the
cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on,
the Subordinated Notes and/or (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the
principal amount of, or interest on, the Subordinated Notes into shares or
other securities or other obligations of LBG or another person, which U.K.
bail-in power may be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the
Subordinated Notes solely to give effect to the above. With respect to (i)
and (ii) above, references to principal and interest shall include payments of
principal and interest that have become due and payable (including
principal that has become due and payable at the maturity date), but which
have not been paid, prior to the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power. Each
holder (including each beneficial owner) of the Subordinated Notes further
acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders under the
Subordinated Notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to
give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K.
resolution authority expressed to implement such a cancellation or
conversion.
For these purposes, a "U.K. bail-in power" is any write-down and/or
conversion power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations,
rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group
companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the
United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to us or
other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws,
regulations, rules or requirements which are implemented, adopted or
enacted within the context of a European Union directive or regulation of
the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for
the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms
and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime by way of amendment
to the Banking Act 2009 as the same may be amended from time to time
(whether pursuant to the Banking Reform Act 2013 or otherwise), pursuant
to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or
investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, transferred
and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor
or any other person (and a reference to the "relevant U.K. resolution
authority" is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. bail-in
power).

Payment of Interest After
payment of interest on the Subordinated Notes shall become due and
Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power
payable after the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K.
resolution authority unless, at the time that such repayment or payment,
respectively, is scheduled to become due, such repayment or payment
would be permitted to be made by us under the laws and regulations of the
United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to us and the Group.
Additional Issuances
We may, without the consent of the holders of the Subordinated Notes,
issue additional notes having the same ranking and same interest rate,
maturity date, redemption terms and other terms as the Subordinated Notes
described in this prospectus supplement except for the price to the public
and issue date, provided however that such additional notes of any series
must be fungible with the outstanding Subordinated Notes for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. See "Description of the Subordinated Notes--
Additional Issuances" in this prospectus supplement.
Tax Redemption
If at any time a Tax Event has occurred and is continuing, LBG may,
subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described under "Description
of the Subordinated Notes--Tax Redemption" and "--Conditions to
Redemption and Repurchases" below, redeem the Subordinated Notes in
whole but not in part at any time at 100% of their principal amount,
together with any accrued interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for
redemption.
A "Tax Event" is deemed to have occurred if:
(1) as a result of a Tax Law Change, in making any payments on the
Subordinated Notes, LBG has paid or will or would on the next payment
date be required to pay any Additional Amounts to any holder pursuant to
"Description of the Subordinated Notes-- Payment of Additional
Amounts"; and/or
(2) a Tax Law Change would:
(i) result in LBG not being entitled to claim a deduction in respect of
any payments in respect of the Subordinated Notes in computing
LBG's taxation liabilities or materially reduce the amount of such
deduction;
(ii) prevent the Subordinated Notes from being treated as loan
relationships for United Kingdom tax purposes;
(iii) as a result of the Subordinated Notes being in issue, result in LBG
not being able to have losses or deductions set against the profits or
gains, or profits or gains offset by the losses or deductions, of
companies with which it is or would otherwise be so grouped for
applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group
relief system current as at the date of issue of the Subordinated Notes
or any similar system or systems having like effect as may from time
to time exist);
(iv) result in a United Kingdom tax liability, or the receipt of income
or profit which would be subject to United Kingdom tax, in respect of
a write-down of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes or the
S-3
#21658679v1



conversion of the Subordinated Notes into shares or other obligations
of LBG; or
(v) result in a Subordinated Note or any part thereof being treated as a
derivative or an embedded derivative for United Kingdom tax
purposes,
in each case, provided that, LBG could not avoid the foregoing in
connection with the Subordinated Notes by taking measures reasonably
available to it.
"Tax Law Change" means a change in or proposed change in, or
amendment or proposed amendment to, the laws or regulations of the
United Kingdom, or any political subdivision or authority therein or thereof,
having the power to tax, including any treaty to which the United Kingdom
is a party, or any change in any generally published application or
interpretation of such laws, including a decision of any court or tribunal, or
any change in the generally published application or interpretation of such
laws by any relevant tax authority or any generally published
pronouncement by any tax authority, which change, amendment or
pronouncement (x) (subject to (y)) becomes, or would become, effective on
or after the issue date, or (y) in the case of a change or proposed change in
law, if such change is enacted (or, in the case of a proposed change, is
expected to be enacted) by United Kingdom Act of Parliament or
implemented by statutory instrument, on or after the issue date.
Regulatory Redemption
We may redeem the Subordinated Notes at any time, in whole but not in
part, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest,
upon the occurrence of a Capital Disqualification Event, as defined under
"Description of the Subordinated Notes", that results in the principal
amount of the Subordinated Notes being fully excluded from inclusion in
the Group's Tier 2 capital, as described under "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Redemption due to a Capital Disqualification Event"
in this prospectus supplement. Any such right of redemption will be subject
to the conditions set forth under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--
Conditions to Redemption and Repurchases" in this prospectus supplement.

We may at any time, and from time to time, purchase Subordinated Notes in

the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any such purchases
will be subject to the conditions set forth below under "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Conditions to Redemption and Repurchases" in this
prospectus supplement.

Trustee and Principal Paying
The Bank of New York Mellon, acting through its London office, a banking
Agent
corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of New

We currently expect delivery of the Subordinated Notes to occur on

three Business Days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree
otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Subordinated Notes
