No. 1 Regulatory News Service Announcement, dated 09 May 2007

LLOYDS TSB Group annual general meeting statement
Lloyds TSB is holding its annual general meeting in Glasgow today (9 May 2007).
During 2006 the Group made considerable progress in the delivery of its organic
growth strategy and in the development of its customer franchises. This resulted
in good levels of sales growth throughout the organisation, positioning the
Group to deliver stronger future revenue growth. The Group's focus on continuous
productivity improvement, whilst continuing to invest in further business
growth, was maintained. As a result, revenue growth was well ahead of cost
growth. Overall asset quality remained satisfactory.
The following is an extract from the statement made by Eric Daniels, Group Chief
Executive:
"In 2006, we delivered a good financial performance with strong trading momentum
across all three divisions, whilst continuing to build our customer franchises
to support future earnings growth. We operate a lower risk business model that
delivers higher quality earnings based on the strength of our customer
relationships and, as a result, we are well positioned to deliver sustainable
revenue and earnings growth.
In the first few months of 2007, we have continued to make strong progress
across the Group and are confident that we will deliver another good trading
performance for the half-year. We will continue to extend the reach and depth of
our customer relationships whilst improving productivity and efficiency in 2007
and beyond. By doing so, we believe that we can deliver sustained double-digit
economic profit growth over time."
