Today

The strategy we announce today will:

Shift ~20% of funded assets to Non-Core Division for

disposal/run down

Cut more than £2.5bn out of the cost base Benefit from the Government Asset Protection Scheme Drive major changes to management, processes and culture Radically restructure GBM, taking out 45% of capital employed Deliver substantive change in all businesses Centre on UK with tighter, more focused global operations Target retail and commercial exit outside UK, Ireland and US

Country exits subject to consultation with works councils, regulators and social partners

2008 Results

Our results for 2008 were bad:

  • Net attributable losses before goodwill of £7.9bn
  • £16.2bn write-down of goodwill paid on prior acquisitions

This masks the inherent strengths of RBS’ businesses and

strong or resilient performances by most of the Bank

The global economic downturn will test us again in 2009 All our efforts are now focussed on the path to recovery

Top Down Tests

Regain standalone AA

ratings category – lower leverage, less reliance on unsecured wholesale funding, stronger businesses

15%+ return on tangible

equity (ROE) – necessary to cover cost of capital

More stable business mix –

cease proprietary activity, focus on customer flows, risk management & less leverage Tests for each Business

Top tier competitive position in

enduring customer franchise

15%+ ROE in normal markets Proportionate use of balance

sheet, risk & funding

Capable of organic growth –

Expenses

Maximising efficiency crucial to restoring shareholder value

Deliver greater than £2.5bn (16%) efficiency cost

savings by 2011 versus 2008, at constant exchange rates

This includes the remaining £0.5bn already

promised from ABN AMRO integration not reflected in 2008

The greatest savings arise in GBM and

Manufacturing

Restructuring charges likely over next 3 years:

1.5 - 1.75 year payback targeted

The programme does not include effect of inflation,

incentive pay movements, or cost reductions arising from business exits or the impact of new projects (if any)

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Slide 22

The Asset Protection Scheme

Secure asset insurance that protects and enhances capital strength and outlook, thereby

Enhancing financial strength and stability for customers and

depositors

Reducing risk to shareholders Allowing greater support for UK customers via increased lending Facilitating Non-Core run-off plan, leaving Core Bank more free to

restructure and progress

RBS objectives

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Slide 23

The Asset Protection Scheme

RBS has the opportunity to “insure” the following portfolios:

– £225bn third party assets and £44bn undrawn commitments – £33bn derivative counterparty risk exposures – Total pool of £302bn, RWAs ~£160bn

Insured assets would be:

– 53% placed in non-core division – 47% part of ongoing businesses. Rationale for latter to “make room” for new UK lending commitments

More detail and recommendation to shareholders to follow in the coming

weeks Overview

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Slide 24

The Asset Protection Scheme

£6.5bn fee would be “paid” up front via issue to HMT of B shares, a Core Tier 1

capital instrument defined as ordinary shares with preferential rights in respect of dividends

Additional £13bn of capital would be issued to HMT as part of APS agreement with

a further £6bn available thereafter at RBS’ option

Estimated at £144bn at 31 Dec 2008

(Reflecting 90/10 risk sharing on second loss)

RWA relief Percentage of first loss borne by RBS on pool Split of second loss Fee paid

6% 90% to HMT / 10% to RBS 2% of gross pool to be amortised over 7 years

Pro forma financial impact 31 Dec 2008

Pre Post

RWAs £578bn £434bn Core Tier 1 capital £41bn £54bn Core Tier 1 ratio 7.0% 12.4%

  • Post APS Core Tier 1 impacted by issuance of £19.5bn B shares, offset

by the £6bn deduction of first loss exposure (50% of first loss, capped at 8% of RWAs)

  • Over time book value attributable to Ordinary Shareholders eroded by

fee amortisation, the cost of the B shares and potential losses on insured assets

  • RBS would also be required to give up the tax shelter from any part of

future UK losses prior to returning to profitability

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Slide 26

UK lending commitments

Entry into the APS would also involve RBS committing to:

£25bn increase in net lending commitments in 2009 (vs current plan) Further £25bn increase provisionally targeted in 2010 Commitment for each year divided

– £9bn mortgages – £16bn SME and corporate

Lending subject to commercial pricing, credit decisions and risk limits

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Slide 27

The quantum and urgency of change required at RBS to recover its standalone strength is a major additional challenge Market pessimism, illiquidity, strained funding markets and industry de-leveraging make “short cuts” unviable Need to retain and motivate our people and rebuild external confidence Executing “business as usual” is a challenge for all banks in the current economic environment

Challenges at Hand

Market environment very uncertain – credit costs are rising, risk of further write-downs

Strategic review - evaluation of businesses against 5 criteria

Customer franchise Is our business based on an enduring customer franchise? Do we have clear competitive advantage and strong market shares? Have we taken account of how the market and competitive environment will change? 1 Returns 2 If we fully allocate costs and properly measure equity, can our businesses meet a hurdle rate of 15% after-tax return on tangible equity in ‘normal’ times, looking forward? For riskier businesses the hurdle rate should be higher Growth 3 Are the businesses capable of at least 5–10% organic growth in normal times? Risk and funding 4 Are the businesses ‘proportionate’ users of risk and balance sheet relative to franchise and profitability? Importantly, we need to consider funding sources too Connectivity 5 Do the businesses fit with each other – are there shared skills efficiencies, client transactions, etc.?
