Material Changes
The most significant material change is the cancellation of the Lloyds Banking Group Deferred Bonus Plan 2008, as all awards under this plan have lapsed and no further awards will be made. Additionally, the Lloyds Banking Group Sharesave Scheme (2017) and Lloyds Banking Group plc Deferred Bonus Plan (2021) saw substantial issuance of securities during the period, reducing their respective unallotted balances.
