Contents
Financial crisis 2009
Lloyds TSB purchased distressed bank HBOS for £12bn in January 2009. The BBC reported in September 2008: "The deal was negotiated at the very highest level, with Prime Minister Gordon Brown telling Lloyds TSB chairman Sir Victor Blank that it would be helpful if Lloyds could end the uncertainty surrounding HBOS by buying it."</ref>Lloyds TSB seals £12bn HBOS deal, BBC, 17 September 2008</ref>
The government was also forced to bail out Lloyds - it is 43 per cent government owned. The Group announced in February 2009 that it expected losses of nearly £11bn for 2008 at HBOS.[1]
