Establishment of Employee Benefit Trust

TBC Bank Group PLC ("TBC PLC") announces that it has established the TBC Bank Group PLC Employee Benefit Trust (the "EBT"). It is intended that the EBT will be used to satisfy obligations arising from the TBC Bank Group PLC Deferred Share Plan (the "Deferred Share Plan"), the TBC Bank Group PLC Long Term Incentive Plan and other shares awards granted to employees.  The EBT may purchase ordinary shares of TBC PLC through on-market transactions and may subscribe for newly issued shares. Unless the Deferred Share Plan receives the approval of the shareholders of TBC PLC, the EBT will only use purchased ordinary shares of TBC PLC to satisfy awards granted under the Deferred Share Plan.  It may also purchase ordinary shares where an option or award holder wishes to sell their ordinary shares immediately on exercise or vesting. The EBT will be administered by Sanne Fiduciary Services Limited.
