AMENDMENTS TO THE BASE PROSPECTUS

Set out below are the amendments to the section entitled "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" of the Base Prospectus.

The third and fourth paragraphs of sub-section (ii) (Screen Rate Determination) of the definition of "Relevant Time" in Condition 6.2(b) (Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Notes (other than CMS Linked Notes)) on pages 80 and 81 of the Base Prospectus (the paragraphs beginning "In case of LIBOR or EURIBOR…" and "If on any Interest Determination Date...", respectively) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

[…] In case of LIBOR or EURIBOR, if the Relevant Screen Page is not available or if, in the case of Condition 6.2(b)(ii)(A) immediately above, no offered quotation appears or, in the case of Condition 6.2(b)(ii)(B) immediately above, fewer than three offered quotations appear, in each case as at the Specified Time, the Issuer (or such agent as may be appointed from time to time) shall request each of the Reference Banks to provide Issuer (or agent, as applicable) with its offered quotation (expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate at approximately the Specified Time on the Interest Determination Date in question. If two or more of the Reference Banks provide the Issuer (or agent, as applicable) with offered quotations, the Rate of Interest for the Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Issuer (or agent, as applicable).

If on any Interest Determination Date one only or none of the Reference Banks provides the Issuer (or such agent as may be appointed from time to time) with an offered quotation as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period shall be the rate per annum which the Issuer (or agent, as applicable) determines as being the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates, as communicated to (and at the request of) the Issuer (or agent, as applicable) by the Reference Banks or any two or more of them, at which such banks were offered, at approximately the Specified Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date, deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate by leading banks in the London inter-bank market (if the Reference Rate is LIBOR) or the Euro-zone inter-bank market (if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR) plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any) or, if fewer than two of the Reference Banks provide the Issuer (or agent, as applicable) with offered rates, the offered rate for deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, or the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of the offered rates for deposits in the Specified Currency for a period equal to that which would have been used for the Reference Rate, at which, at approximately the Specified Time on the relevant Interest Determination Date, any one or more banks (which bank or banks is or are in the opinion of the Issuer suitable for the purpose) informs the Issuer (or agent, as applicable) it is quoting to leading banks in the London inter-bank market (if the Reference Rate is LIBOR) or the Euro-zone inter-bank market (if the Reference Rate is EURIBOR) plus or minus (as appropriate) the Margin (if any), provided that, if the Rate of Interest cannot be determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Rate of Interest shall be determined as at the last preceding Interest Determination Date (though substituting, where a different Margin is to be applied to the relevant Interest Period from that which applied to the last preceding Interest Period, the Margin relating to the relevant Interest Period in place of the Margin relating to that last preceding Interest Period).

The first paragraph of Condition 9.3 (Redemption at the Option of the Issuer (Issuer Call)) shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

[…] If Issuer Call is specified in the applicable Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement), the Issuer may, having given:

  • (i) not less than 15 nor more than 30 days' notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 17 (Notices); and
  • (ii) not less than 15 days before the giving of the notice referred to in (a) above, notice to the Agent and, in the case of a redemption of Registered Notes, the Registrar;

(which notices shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date fixed for redemption) redeem all or some only of the Notes then outstanding on any optional redemption date (the "Optional Redemption Date"), as specified in the applicable Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement), and at the Optional Redemption Amount(s) calculated in accordance with Condition 9.6. Any such redemption must be of a nominal amount not less than the Minimum Redemption Amount and not more than the Maximum Redemption Amount, in each case as may be specified in the applicable Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement). In the case of a partial redemption of Notes, the Notes to be redeemed ("Redeemed Notes") will be selected individually by lot, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, and in accordance with the rules of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (to be reflected in the records of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as either a pool factor or a reduction in nominal amount, at their discretion), and/or DTC, as applicable, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by a Global Note, not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (such date of selection being hereinafter called the "Selection Date"). In the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, a list of the serial numbers of such

Redeemed Notes will be published in accordance with Condition 17 (Notices) not less than 15 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
