NATWEST GROUP plc - RESULTS OF TENDER OFFERS FOR CERTAIN OF ITS OUTSTANDING NOTES

NatWest Group plc (the "Offeror") is today announcing the results of its previously announced cash tender offers (each, an "Offer" and, together, the "Offers") for any and all of certain series of its U.S. dollar denominated notes set out in the table below (the "Notes").

The Offers were made on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the offer to purchase dated March 23, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (together, the "Offer Documents"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as in the Offer to Purchase.

Based on information provided by the Tender Agent, $2,154,636,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 29, 2021 (the "Expiration Deadline"), as more fully set forth below. The Offeror has accepted all Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Deadline. In addition, $16,116,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes were tendered using the guaranteed delivery procedures. The Settlement Date is expected to be March 31, 2021 and the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date is expected to be April 1, 2021. For the avoidance of doubt, Holders whose Notes are tendered and purchased pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures will not receive payment in respect of any interest or any distribution, as the case may be, for the period from and including the Settlement Date to the Guaranteed Delivery Settlement Date.

The Offeror estimates the impact of this transaction will be a charge to income in its Q1 2021 results of approximately £118 million, with the final charge dependent on foreign exchange movements until the Settlement Date. After taking into account the estimated effect of taxation, and based on risk weighted assets of £170 billion as reported for December 31, 2020, this would equate to a reduction in the Offeror's CET1 capital ratio of approximately 5 bps.

The table below sets forth, among other things, the principal amount of each series of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Deadline:

(1)    As of the commencement date of the Offers; excludes $512,315,000 principal amount of 6.425% Non-Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities, which are held by the Offeror as of the date hereof and are deemed not to be outstanding.

(2)    Per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase.

(3)    Currently NatWest Group plc.
