Investment Considerations

The N&C Securities may not be suitable for all investors

Each potential investor in the N&C Securities must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:

  • has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the N&C Securities, the merits and risks of investing in the N&C Securities and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
  • has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in the N&C Securities and the impact the N&C Securities will have on its overall investment portfolio;
  • has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the N&C Securities;
  • understands thoroughly the terms of the N&C Securities and is familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and
  • is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

An investment in N&C Securities may entail significant risks not associated with investments in conventional securities such as debt or equity securities.

In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the terms of the N&C Securities being offered, including the merits and risks involved.

The Dealer and its affiliates have engaged and may in the future engage in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform services for the Issuer and its respective affiliates.

The Dealer does not make any representation to any investor in the N&C Securities regarding the legality of its investment under any applicable laws. Any investor in the N&C Securities should satisfy itself that it is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the N&C Securities for an indefinite period of time.

Purchasers of such N&C Securities are deemed to have sufficient knowledge, experience and professional advice to make their own investment decisions and to have undertaken their own legal, financial, tax, accounting and other business evaluation of the risks and merits of investments in such N&C Securities and should ensure that they fully understand the risks associated with investments of this nature which are intended to be sold only to sophisticated investors. Purchasers of N&C Securities are solely responsible for making their own independent appraisal of an investigation into the business, financial condition, prospects, creditworthiness, status and affairs of the Asset and the information relating to the Asset and the level or fluctuation of the Asset.

IMPORTANT – EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The N&C Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the "EU Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document is required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the N&C Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the N&C Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.

  • the Group's operations, financial condition and prospects may be materially impacted by economic conditions in the UK and disruptions in the global economy and global financial markets;
  • the Group is subject to regulatory capital, liquidity and leverage requirements that could limit its operations;
  • the Group's financial results are constantly exposed to market risk. The Group is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and other markets risks, which may materially and adversely affect it;

The Group is also subject to risk of loss and damage from litigation proceedings;

Governing Law

The N&C Securities are governed by English law and the rights thereunder will be construed accordingly.

Status of the N&C Securities

The N&C Securities constitute direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu without preference amongst themselves and, subject to any applicable statutory provisions or judicial order, at least equally with all other present and future direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer.

Description of restrictions on free transferability of the N&C Securities

Selling restrictions apply to offers, sales or transfers of the N&C Securities under the applicable laws in various jurisdictions. A purchaser of the N&C Securities is required to make certain agreements and representations as a condition to purchasing the N&C Securities.

Subject to the above, the N&C Securities are freely transferable.

Where will the N&C Securities be traded?

Application for N&C Securities has been made for listing on the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and for admission to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.

What are the key risks that are specific to the N&C Securities?

The N&C Securities are subject to the following key risks:

  • investors in N&C Securities may lose up to the entire value of their investment in the N&C Securities as a result of (a) the insolvency of the Issuer, (b) investors seeking to sell the N&C Securities prior to their scheduled termination, (c) the relevant N&C Securities being subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the N&C Securities or (d) amounts payable being subject to deductions for taxes and/or expenses;
  • unlike a bank deposit, the N&C Securities are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS") or other government protection scheme. As a result, neither the FSCS not any other government will pay compensation to an investor in the N&C Securities upon the failure of the Issuer;
  • the value of and return on the N&C Securities depends on the performance of the Reference Item, which may be subject to unpredictable change over time. Past performance of an asset is not indicative of future performance;
  • the calculation of the performance of the Reference Item will be based on the average of the closing levels over a number of days. The effect of such averaging may be that the performance of the Reference Item will not increase proportionately if the closing level increases towards the end of the term of the N&C Securities (or temporarily during the term);
  • equity indices like the Reference Item are comprised of a portfolio of shares, and as such, the performance is dependent upon the macroeconomic factors relating to such shares, such as interest and price levels on the capital markets, currency developments, political factors as well as company-specific factors such as earnings position, market position, risk situation, shareholder structure and distribution policy, as well as the index composition, which may change over time. Also, the index sponsor may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation of the equity index. Any of these developments and actions may be unexpected, and could have a negative impact on the value of and return on the N&C Securities;
  • the N&C Securities may redeem early due to the occurrence of an unexpected event. Should this occur, investors may receive less than their original investment, and may not be able to invest the redemption proceeds to achieve a potential return similar to the potential return available under the N&C Securities;
  • the N&C Securities have no established trading market, and one may never develop, and the N&C Securities may be illiquid. Investors may not be able to sell their N&C Securities or may only be able to sell at an unfavourable price; and
  • the Issue Price of the N&C Securities may have been more than the market value as at the Issue Date and their current value, and the price of the N&C Securities in secondary market transactions.

Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to the Issuer, its industry and the N&C Securities summarised in the Summary are the risks that the Issuer believes to be the most essential to an assessment by a prospective investor of whether to consider an investment in such N&C Securities. However, as the risks which the Issuer faces relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future, prospective investors should consider not only the information on the key risks summarised in the Summary but also, among other things, the risks and uncertainties described below.

An investment in the N&C Securities may involve a high degree of risk. In purchasing N&C Securities, investors assume the risk that the Issuer may become insolvent or otherwise be unable to make all payments due in respect of the N&C Securities. There are a wide range of factors which individually or together could result in the Issuer becoming unable to make all payments due in respect of the N&C Securities. The Issuer may not be aware of all relevant factors and certain factors which it currently deems not to be material may become material as a result of the occurrence of events outside the Issuer's control. The Issuer has identified in this Prospectus a number of factors which could materially adversely affect its business and ability to make payments due under the N&C Securities.

In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risk associated with the N&C Securities are detailed below. The factors discussed below regarding the risks of acquiring or holding any N&C Securities are not exhaustive, and additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to the Issuer or that the Issuer currently believes to be immaterial could also have a material impact on the N&C Securities.

Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.

Investors should consider the 'Risk Factors' set out on pages 1 to 58 of the 2024 Base Prospectus and which are incorporated by reference herein (see "Information Incorporated by Reference "below).

Significant or Material Change

Save as disclosed below, there has been no significant change in the financial position or financial performance of the Santander UK Group (including Santander UK) since 30 June 2024 (being the end of the last financial period for which interim financial information has been published) and there has been no material adverse change in the prospects of Santander UK plc since 31 December 2023 (being the date of its last published audited consolidated annual financial statements).

Historical motor finance commission payments

Following the FCA's Motor Market review in 2019 which resulted in a change in rules in January 2021, Santander Consumer (UK) plc (SCUK) has received a number of county court claims and complaints in respect of its historical use of discretionary commission arrangements (DCAs) prior to the 2021 rule changes. In January 2024, the FCA commenced a review of the use of DCAs between lenders and credit brokers (the FCA review) and paused the handling of these complaints originally until September 2024. The FCA announced in July 2024 that it expected to share the outcome of its Review by May 2025 and that the pause in respect of handling of these complaints was extended to 4 December 2025. A claim has also been issued against SCUK, Santander UK plc and others in the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), alleging that SCUK's historical DCAs in respect of used car financing operated in breach of the Competition Act 1998. This is currently paused until the end of July 2025 connected to the outcome of the FCA Review.

The outcome of the FCA's Review may be informed by the judgment of the Court of Appeal handed down on 25 October 2024 in relation to cases against other lenders involving DCAs (noting that the lenders subject to the Court of Appeal's judgment have indicated they intend to seek permission to appeal), and the outcome of a judicial review of a final decision by the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) against another lender that was heard in October 2024.

In light of the Court of Appeal judgment, the Santander UK Group has recognised a provision of £295m in its financial results for the quarter ended 30 September 2024. This includes estimates for operational and legal costs (including litigation costs) and potential awards, based on various scenarios using a range of assumptions (such as the outcome of any Supreme Court appeal, the scope and timeframe of any redress scheme, applicable time periods, claims rates and compensatory interest rates). The outcome of the FCA's Review and/or adverse outcomes from litigation could result in material costs. These matters mean that there are currently significant uncertainties as to the extent of any misconduct, if any, as well as the perimeter of commission models, nature, extent and timing of any remediation action if required. As such, the ultimate financial impact could be materially higher or lower than the amount provided and it is not practicable to quantify the extent of any remaining contingent liability.

Litigation

There are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Issuer is aware) which may have or had, in the 12 months prior to the date hereof, a significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Santander UK Group or Santander UK plc and its subsidiaries.

Post-Issuance Information

Save as set out in the applicable Final Terms, the Issuer does not intend to provide any post-issuance information in relation to any issue of N&C Securities.

Use of proceeds

The net proceeds from each issue of N&C Securities have been applied by the Issuer for its general corporate purposes.
