[1] | In March 2022, there was an agreement with HM Treasury to buy 549.9 million ordinary shares in the Company from UK Government Investments Ltd (UKGI), at 220.5 p per share for the total consideration of £1.22 billion. NatWest Group cancelled 549.9 million of the purchased ordinary shares. The nominal value of the share cancellation has been transferred to the capital redemption reserve.
[2] | NatWest Group plc repurchased and cancelled 345.6 million shares for total consideration of £756.7 million excluding fees in H1 2022, as part of the On Market Share Buyback Programme. Of the 345.6 million shares bought back, 10.7 million shares were settled and cancelled in July 2022. The nominal value of the share cancellations has been transferred to the capital redemption reserve.
[3] | In June 2021, AT1 capital notes totalling US$750 million less fees were issued.
[4] | Following an announcement of a Regulatory Call in February 2022, the Series U preference shares were reclassified to liabilities. A £254 million loss was recognised in P&L reserves due to FX unlocking.
[5] | Following the purchase of ordinary shares from UKGI in Q1 2022, NatWest Group contributed £500 million (2021 - £500 million) to its main pension scheme in line with the memorandum of understanding announced on 17 April 2018. After tax relief, this contribution reduced total equity by £365 million (2021 - £354 million). In line with our policy, the present value of defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets at the end of the interim reporting period, are assessed to identity significant market fluctuations and one-off events since the end of the prior financial year.
