Date 13/05/2014

The European Commission has concluded that proposals by the UK authorities to amend conditions for the divestment of Lloyds Banking Group's (LBG) UK retail business, in the context of LBG's restructuring plan, are in line with EU state aid rules. The Commission has found that a delay in the divestment of LBG's UK retail bank entity Verde (rebranded TSB), will not jeopardise the viability of the business. The Commission has also accepted changes in the scope of the divestment, in particular the removal of certain assets and liabilities, as they will leave TSB in a better financial position and will therefore reinforce its ability to effectively compete in the market despite a reduced balance sheet.
