What exactly does this mean ? "From 1 January 2022, the Offeror will classify any remaining outstanding preference shares as ineligible for regulatory capital purposes"
Is this statement more beneficial to Lloyds reporting results and does it mean they can change or withdraw in the near future the Prefs?
My assumption is that the most-likely risk is that Lloyds somehow manage to "repay at par".
So that means LLPC, which is currently trading at 166.85 will be forcibly repaid at only 100.
I assume there would be a substantial outcry if they shafted all the institutional shareholders like that, so Lloyds are offering them a way out. Who knows, behind the scenes they might even have told major shareholders that is their plan.
I continue to hold.

I'll wait and see the institutional take up of the offer before deciding. We should find out Monday and then (for my broker) I have until 5th December to decide what to do. I was having a search on the web for how much of each Pref. is still outstanding. I couldn't find anything on LLPC but found a figure of £97.14m for LLPD and £63.25m for LLPE (on market watch | think).
