IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE HOLDERS OF THE

GBP27,200,000 Mortgage Backed Fixed Rate Notes due 2072

GBP105,600,000 Asset Backed Floating Rate Notes due 2072 (the "Notes")

Issued by

BOS (Shared Appreciation Mortgages) No. 1 PLC

BOS (Shared Appreciation Mortgages) No. 2 PLC as the "Issuers"

on 20 January 2021

The Issuers refer to the trust deeds dated 25 July 1997 constituting the Notes and containing the terms and conditions applicable thereto (as the same may be amended, amended and restated and/or supplemented from time to time) (the Trust Deeds). Capitalised terms used but not otherwise defined in this notice have the same meanings and constructions ascribed to them in the Trust Deeds (including by incorporation).

The Issuers have been formally served with litigation commenced in the Central London County Court by Borrowers (or their representatives) under 139 Mortgage Loans, of which 39 were originally part of the Issuers' Mortgage Pools and 20 are unredeemed and remain part of the Mortgage Pools. These legal proceedings are brought as a single action by the 139 claimants and follow pre-action correspondence with the Borrowers' representatives which recently concluded without resolution.

In the Claim Form and Particulars of Claim each of the Borrowers seek to challenge the terms of the Mortgage Loans which entitle the Issuers, on redemption, to a payment based on any increase in the value of the mortgaged property during the term of the Mortgage Loan. The claims are brought on the basis that the terms of the Mortgage Loans create an unfair relationship under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Whilst the claims will be robustly defended, if claims in respect of any Mortgage Loans succeed, the court has the power to make a range of orders including ordering that terms be set aside and/or altered.

This notice and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it are governed by English law and the English courts are to have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any disputes arising from this notice.

This announcement contains inside information in relation to the Notes and is disclosed in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) 596/2014 ("MAR") as applied in the UK. For the purposes of MAR, this announcement is made by Emma Lawrence, Director, the Issuers.
