30 March 2023.  RSL Finance (No. 1) plc (the Issuer) has been informed that 
Clarion Housing Association Limited (the Offeror) is today announcing the 
indicative results of the Offeror's invitation to holders of the Issuer's 
outstanding £342,950,000 6.625 per cent. Secured Loan-Backed Bonds due 2038 
(ISIN: XS0155451866) (the Bonds) to tender their Bonds for purchase by the 
Offeror for cash (the Offer). 
 
The Offer was announced on 22 March 2023 and was made on the terms and subject 
to the conditions contained in the tender offer memorandum dated 22 March 2023 
(the Tender Offer Memorandum) prepared by the Offeror. Capitalised terms used 
in this announcement but not defined have the meanings given to them in the 
Tender Offer Memorandum. 
 
The Expiration Deadline for the Offer was 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 29 March 
2023. 
 
As at the Expiration Deadline, the Offeror had received valid tenders of £ 
118,166,000 in aggregate original nominal amount of the Bonds for purchase 
(equivalent to approximately £94,695,455.50 in aggregate outstanding 
(amortised) nominal amount of the Bonds). 
 
In the event the Offeror decides to accept valid tenders of Bonds pursuant to 
the Offer, the Issuer understands that (i) the Offeror expects to set the Final 
Acceptance Amount at approximately £40,000,000 in aggregate original nominal 
amount of Bonds (equivalent to approximately £32,055,060 in aggregate 
outstanding (amortised) nominal amount of the Bonds), and (ii) on the basis of 
such expected Final Acceptance Amount, the Offeror expects to accept for 
purchase Bonds validly tendered pursuant to the Offer subject to a Pro-ration 
Factor of approximately 33.871 per cent. 
 
Bondholders should note that this is a non-binding indication of the level at 
which the Offeror expects to set the Final Acceptance Amount. 
 
Pricing for the Offer will take place at or around 11.00 a.m. (London time) 
today (the Pricing Time). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Pricing 
Time, the Offeror will announce whether it will accept valid tenders of Bonds 
pursuant to the Offer and, if so accepted, the Final Acceptance Amount (and its 
outstanding (amortised) nominal amount equivalent), the Benchmark Security 
Rate, the Purchase Yield, the Purchase Price, and (if applicable) the 
Pro-ration Factor that will be applied to valid tenders of Bonds. 
 
The expected Settlement Date for the Offer, when payment of the Purchase Price 
will be made by or on behalf of the Offeror in respect of Bonds accepted for 
purchase pursuant to the Offer, is 31 March 2023. In respect of the Purchase 
Price, each Bondholder whose Bonds are accepted for purchase pursuant to the 
Offer will receive (i) a payment of £14.2531 per £1,000 in original nominal 
amount of Bonds so accepted (corresponding to the scheduled amortisation amount 
due (pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Bonds) on 31 March 2023 in 
respect of Bonds not accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer) and (ii) a 
separate payment representing the balance of the Purchase Price payable to such 
Bondholder. 
 
As 31 March 2023 is an interest payment date in respect of the Bonds, the 
Issuer will make payment of accrued interest in respect of all outstanding 
Bonds on such date in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds, 
and accordingly no Accrued Interest will be payable by the Offeror in 
connection with settlement of the Offer.
