1 Rating Action: Moody's upgrades Ulster Bank Limited's deposit and issuer ratings to A3 and confirms Ulster Bank Ireland Limited's Baa3 deposit rating; outlook stable Global Credit Research - 03 Jun 2015 Standalone BCA upgraded to b1 from b3 for Ulster Bank Limited and to b2 from b3 for Ulster Bank Ireland Limited London, 03 June Moody's Investor Service has today upgraded Ulster Bank Limited's (UBL) long-term deposit and issuer ratings to A3 and assigned a stable outlook. Moody also upgraded the bank's standalone baseline credit assessment (BCA) to b1 from b3 and downgraded its adjusted BCA to ba1 from baa3. Moreover, the agency assigned Counterparty Risk Assessment (CR Assessment) of A3(cr)/Prime-2(cr) to UBL. Additionally, Moody's confirmed Ulster Bank Ireland Limited's (UBIL) - UBL's Irish subsidiary - Baa3 long-term deposit rating and downgraded the bank's senior unsecured MTN rating to (P)Ba1 from (P)Baa3, and assigned a stable outlook. The agency also upgraded the bank's BCA to b2 from b3 and downgraded its adjusted BCA to ba1 from baa3. Finally, Moody's assigned a CR Assessment of Baa1(cr)/Prime-2(cr) to UBIL. This rating action reflects the implementation of Moody's new bank rating methodology, specifically the advance Loss Given Failure (LGF) analysis, and revision of affiliate and government support assumptions. This rating action concludes the review initiated on 17 March 2015 for UBL and on 19 March 2015 for UBIL. RATINGS RATIONALE ---RATIONALE FOR THE BCA Moody's says that the upgrades of UBL and UBIL's BCAs were driven by the material improvements in their solvency, profitability and funding. Although the banks' asset quality metrics remain weak, and worse than those of some domestic peers, they are improving and the agency anticipates further improvements over the outlook period. Owing to the large capital injections made by the parent bank, Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS - A3/A3 Stable, ba1) and return to profitability in 2014, UBL and UBIL now benefit from strong regulatory capital ratios, with Common Equity Tier 1 ratios of 15.7% and 17.3%, respectively, at end-2014, which are among the highest in their peer group. After seven years of operating losses, both banks returned to profitability in 2014, which was bolstered by writebacks on their problem loan portfolios. Owing to that, both UBL and UBIL recorded net income of GBP1.9bn and EUR1.9bn respectively, versus losses of GBP4.1bn and EUR4.3bn, respectively, in The rating agency notes that both banks have materially restructured their operations and are in the process of restoring their business model. As such, Moody's expects pre-provision profitability to gradually improve, although it does not anticipate the banks to benefit from further large write-backs during the outlook period. UBL and UBIL have also materially improved their funding and liquidity positions in the last year, owing to the significant loan deleveraging and increased focus on improving the quality of deposits. These elements have substantially reduced the banks' funding gap (with gross loan-to-deposit ratios declining to 170% (2013: 193%) for UBL and 193% (2013: 224%) for UBIL) and reliance on parent funding. In contrast to its Irish subsidiary, Moody's notes that UBL does not manage its liquidity on a standalone basis, as it is included in the RBS UK Defined Liquidity Group. In the agency's view, this makes the funding and liquidity profile of UBL stronger than that of UBIL and is the main driver of the difference in the two banks' BCAs. While the agency recognizes the improvement in UBL and UBIL's risk profile, as their problem loans declined by 20.1% and 14.8%, respectively, year-on-year, their problem loan ratios remain high, at 42.9% and 43.5%, respectively, at end Despite the expectation of further improvements in asset quality metrics, which have continued in the first five months of 2015, through the sale of some legacy assets portfolios, Moody's believes that

2 asset quality will remain weak over the outlook period and will continue to weigh on the banks' credit profiles. ---RATIONALE FOR THE ADJUSTED BCA The downgrade of both banks' adjusted BCAs to ba1 from baa3 was driven by the change in the reference point used to calculate the amount of parental support uplift. Before today's rating actions, Moody's used RBS's long-term deposit rating as the reference point to arrive to UBL and UBIL's adjusted BCAs, implying that both banks might indirectly benefit from the UK government support in case of need. Following the introduction of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) in the European Union, and in accordance with the agency's new bank rating methodology, Moody's now uses the parent's BCA of ba1 as the reference point and assigns government support in a separate step. However the agency expects that RBS will continue to maintain a high level of commitment toward UBL and UBIL. --- RATIONALE FOR THE DEPOSIT AND ISSUER RATINGS Moody's says that the upgrade of UBL's deposit and issuer ratings, the confirmation of UBIL's deposit rating and the downgrade of its senior unsecured MTN rating result from the downgrade of the banks' adjusted BCA, the introduction of the rating agency's LGF analysis, and revised government support assumptions. RBS, UBL and UBIL are subject to the BRRD, which Moody's considers to be an Operational Resolution Regime. The rating agency's standard assumptions, which are applied to the three banks, assume residual tangible common equity of 3% and losses post-failure of 8% of tangible banking assets, a 25% run-off in junior wholesale deposits, a 5% run-off in preferred deposits, and a 25% probability of deposits being preferred to senior unsecured debt. As RBS and UBL are based in the UK, Moody's considers both banks as being part of the same resolution perimeter. Consequently, the LGF analysis of the two banks is based upon the UK balance sheet. Under these assumptions, UBL's deposits and issuer ratings are likely to face extremely low loss-given-failure, due to the loss absorption provided by the large amount of subordinated debt and, potentially, by senior unsecured debt should deposits be treated preferentially in a resolution, as well as the substantial volume of deposits themselves. This results in three notches of uplift from the adjusted BCA for both deposits and senior debt ratings. At the same time, Moody's says that the introduction of the BRRD has demonstrated a reduction in the willingness of EU governments to bail-out banks, and this led to a lower expectation of government support. The rating agency now expects a moderate probability of government support for the deposits and senior debt of UBL, in line with that for RBS, resulting in a further one-notch uplift to UBL's deposit and debt ratings. Being based in Ireland, UBIL is not part of the UK resolution perimeter. Under the assumptions described above, UBIL's deposits are likely to face low loss-given-failure, resulting in a rating of a notch above the adjusted BCA. Conversely, UBIL's senior debt holders are likely to face moderate loss-given-failure, resulting in a rating at the same level of the adjusted BCA, due to the more limited amount of subordinated instruments which would protect senior unsecured debt and deposit in a resolution. Moody's does not consider UBIL to be a systemically important bank. As such, the rating agency expects a low probability of government support for UBIL's deposits, resulting in no further uplift. --- RATIONALE FOR THE STABLE OUTLOOK The stable outlooks on all ratings incorporate Moody's expectation that the favourable operating environment will allow UBL and UBIL to continue strengthening their credit fundamentals. The successful disposal of legacy exposures should further improve their asset quality and reduce their wholesale funding needs. The stable outlooks are in line with the outlook on the parent company, RBS. --- RATIONALE FOR THE CR ASSESSMENT As part of today's actions, Moody's has assigned a A3(cr)/Prime-2(cr) CR Assessment to UBL and a Baa1(cr)/Prime-2(cr) CR Assessment to UBIL, four and three notches respectively above their adjusted BCA. UBL and UBIL's CR Assessments are driven by the banks' ba1 adjusted BCA, by substantial bail-in-able debt and deposits likely to support the operating obligations and by government support, which is equivalent to that applied to deposits in each case. The CR Assessment, which is not a rating, reflects an issuer's probability of defaulting on certain bank operating liabilities, such as covered bonds, derivatives, letters of credit and other contractual commitments. In assigning the

3 CR Assessment, Moody's evaluates the issuer's standalone strength and the likelihood, should the need arise, of affiliate and government support, as well as the anticipated seniority of counterparty obligations under Moody's advanced Loss Given Failure framework. The CR Assessment also assumes that authorities will likely take steps to preserve the continuity of a bank's key operations, maintain payment flows, and avoid contagion should the bank enter a resolution. WHAT COULD CHANGE THE RATINGS UP/DOWN Moody's says that UBL and UBIL's deposit and debt ratings could be upgraded if the banks continue to strengthen their credit fundamentals and reduce the amount of legacy and nonperforming assets on their balance sheets. A positive change in the banks' adjusted BCA would likely affect all instrument ratings. UBL and UBIL's ratings could be downgraded should they be loss-making in 2015 or a deterioration in asset quality metrics. A downward movement in UBIL's adjusted BCA would likely result in downgrades to all instrument ratings.
