PRESS RELEASE
27 March 2017
Accelerated bookbuild offering of approx. 24.3 million existing
shares in OneSavings Bank Plc
Citigroup Global Markets Limited ("Citi") and Credit Suisse
Securities (Europe) Limited ("Credit Suisse") announce the launch
of an accelerated bookbuild offering to institutional investors
(the "Transaction") of approx. 24.3 million existing shares in
OneSavings Bank Plc ("OneSavings Bank") (representing approximately
10% of OneSavings Bank's issued share capital) on behalf of funds
managed and advised by J.C. Flowers & Co. LLC (the "JCF
Funds").
Bookbuilding will commence immediately. Citi and Credit Suisse
are acting as joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners in
the Transaction. N M Rothschild & Sons Ltd ("Rothschild") is
acting as financial adviser to J.C.Flowers & Co. LLC on the
Transaction. A further announcement will be made following
completion of the bookbuilding and pricing of the Transaction.
In parallel with the bookbuild, a number of existing shares in
OneSavings Bank held on behalf of the JCF Funds equal to approx. 6%
of the number to be sold under the bookbuild process ("Investor
Shares") will be distributed to certain investors in the JCF Funds
("Investors"). For the avoidance of doubt, these Investor Shares
are separate from and would be distributed in addition to the
shares to be sold under the bookbuild arrangements.

of the Transaction, subject to certain customary exceptions, will
be given by the JCF Funds.
