THIS NOTICE IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES THE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF NOTEHOLDERS.

On 28 July 2021, in accordance with Condition 14 (Notice to Noteholders), the Issuer announced an intention to amend the Relevant Notes with effect from 25 February 2022 (the Notice of Base Rate Modification) by amending the documents specified in the Notice of Base Rate Modification in order to effect the Proposed Base Rate Modification.

Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Notice of Base Rate Modification.

Background

Pursuant to Condition 11(F)(a)(iii) (Additional Right of Modification), it is a condition to the Note Trustee concurring with the Issuer in making the Proposed Base Rate Modification that the Issuer has certified in writing to the Note Trustee that it has not been notified in writing (or otherwise in accordance with the then current practice of any applicable clearing system through which such Notes may be held) by Noteholders representing at least 10% of the aggregate Sterling Equivalent Principal Amount Outstanding of the Most Senior Class of Notes then outstanding (being the Class A Notes) that such Noteholders do not consent to the Proposed Base Rate Modification within 30 calendar days of the date of the Notice of Base Rate Modification (the Negative Consent Process).

Class A Noteholders who wished to notify the Issuer that they objected to the Proposed Base Rate Modification must have done so in accordance with the procedures set out in the Notice of Base Rate Modification by 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 27 August 2021 (such time and date being the Deadline). No physical or virtual meeting of Noteholders has been or will be held in connection with the Negative Consent Process.

Following the expiry of the Deadline, the Tabulation Agent has calculated the number of voting instructions received and has notified each of the Issuer, the Servicer, the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee. No "Reject" votes have been received in accordance with the procedures set out in the Notice of Base Rate Modification from Class A Noteholders and accordingly the number of "Reject" votes which have been received is less than the threshold of 10% of the aggregate Sterling Equivalent Principal Amount Outstanding of the Class A Notes then outstanding at the Deadline. As such, the Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Security Trustee and the other parties to the Deed of Amendment and Restatement, subject to the satisfaction of the other requirements of Condition 11(F)(a)(iii) (Additional Right of Modification), will enter into the Deed of Amendment and Restatement shortly after the date of this Notice , with the Proposed Amendments to take effect from the Interest Payment Date falling in February 2022 (being 25 February 2022).

Summary of the Proposed Base Rate Modification

1. the Rate of Interest for the GBP 409,935,000 Class A2 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2060, GBP 441,684,000 Class A3 Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2060 and GBP 49,956,000 Class M Mortgage Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2060 issued by Gosforth Funding 2018-1 plc will be converted from a LIBOR to a SONIA basis, with a consequential adjustment to the Relevant Margin and the Step-up Margin of each of the Class A2, Class A3 and Class M Notes (as described in Appendix 1 of the Notice of Base Rate Modification);

2. to amend the Basis Rate Swap Agreements such that the "Floating Rate Option" is calculated by reference to a "SONIA"-based rate; and

3. to change the "Party B Floating Rate Option" in the confirmation to the Currency Swap Agreement from a "LIBOR"-based rate to a "SONIA"-based rate.
