Issue of Regulatory Capital

Secure Trust Bank PLC ('STB' or the 'Bank') announces that it has today completed a further issue of £25,000,000 6.75% Fixed Rate Reset Callable Subordinated Notes due 2028 (the 'Notes'). The Notes mature in 2028 but STB may at its discretion redeem the Notes in 2023.

The Notes are listed on the Global Exchange Market of the Irish Stock Exchange plc trading as Euronext Dublin.

Credit Suisse was the Sole Bookrunner in relation to the issue of the Notes.
