Notice of Successor Rate and Adjustment Spread

in relation to

USD 80,000,000 Floating Rate Notes due June 2024 (XS2010113459)

 

(the "Notes")

 

15 June 2021

NatWest Markets Plc (the "Issuer") announced on 12 March 2021 that it had determined that a "Benchmark Event" had occurred under the terms and conditions of the Notes.

As required by the terms and conditions of the Notes, the Issuer has appointed an Independent Adviser. The Independent Adviser has determined and notified the Issuer of the "Successor Rate" and "Adjustment Spread" set out below for the purposes of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions. This Successor Rate and Adjustment Spread are effective from the interest period commencing 18 June 2021.

The Successor Rate is Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), compounded in arrear, applying a 5 day backward-shifted observation period.

The Adjustment Spread is set at 26.161 bps in line with the public statements of the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), and applying the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) fixed fallback spread for 3m USD LIBOR. This Adjustment Spread will be fixed until maturity of the Notes (being the interest payment date falling on or nearest to 18 June 2024). 

Accordingly, interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of the Successor Rate plus the Adjustment Spread, and the original Margin. Interest will continue to be paid quarterly.

Updates to the contractual documentation for the Notes, including consequential changes, consistent with the above determination, will be notified directly to Noteholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.
