NOTICE OF PRICING AND ADJUSTED MARGIN IN RELATION TO THE £350,000,000 FLOATING RATE COVERED BONDS DUE 2023 (ISIN: XS1781700742 / SERIES NUMBER: 5) (THE "COVERED BONDS") ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE U.S.$8,000,000,000 GLOBAL COVERED BOND PROGRAMME ESTABLISHED BY UNITED OVERSEAS BANK LIMITED (THE "COMPANY") ON 23 NOVEMBER 2015 (AS UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE "PROGRAMME")

Capitalised or other terms used but not defined herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings as set out in the Consent Solicitation Memorandum dated 8 June 2021 (the "Consent Solicitation Memorandum") issued by the Company.

The Company commenced a consent solicitation process on 8 June 2021 to seek the approval of the holders of the Covered Bonds (the "Covered Bondholders") by way of an extraordinary resolution (the "Extraordinary Resolution") for, inter alia, the modification of the terms and conditions of the Covered Bonds and consequential or related amendments to the transaction documents for the Covered Bonds, such that on and from the Specified Interest Payment Date (being 31 August 2021) immediately following the date on which the Extraordinary Resolution is passed, the existing "Sterling LIBOR" interest basis of the Covered Bonds shall be replaced by the "Sterling Overnight Index Average" interest basis (the "Consent Solicitation"). The Extraordinary Resolution was duly passed at the Meeting of Covered Bondholders held at or around 10 a.m. London time (5 p.m. Singapore time) on 30 June 2021.

The Company now announces the Sterling LIBOR vs SONIA Interpolated Basis, the Forward Adjustment Spread and the Adjusted Margin applicable to the Covered Bonds. In accordance with Annex B (Margin Adjustment) to the Notice, the determination of the Sterling LIBOR vs SONIA Interpolated Basis and the Forward Adjustment Spread took place at or around 2 p.m. London time (9 p.m. Singapore time) (the "Pricing Time") on 30 June 2021. Accordingly:

  1. the Sterling LIBOR vs SONIA Interpolated Basis (as calculated by the Solicitation Agents at the Pricing Time) is 0.079 per cent.;
  2. the Forward Adjustment Spread (as calculated by the Solicitation Agents at the Pricing Time) is 0.0052 per cent.; and
  3. the Adjusted Margin (being the sum of (i) the Sterling LIBOR vs SONIA Interpolated Basis, (ii) the Forward Adjustment Spread and (iii) 0.24 per cent. is therefore:
    1. 0.3242 per cent. per annum (from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date); and
  1. 0.3242 per cent. per annum (from and including the Maturity Date to but excluding the Extended Due for Payment Date).

No consent fee will be payable in connection with the Consent Solicitation.
