B.1 Legal and commercial name of the Issuer
Santander UK plc
B.2 Domicile / legal form / legislation / country of incorporation
The Issuer is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales, registered under the Companies
Act 1985.
B.4b Trend information
The Santander UK Group's financial performance is intrinsically linked to the U.K. economy and economic confidence of
consumers and businesses. The sustainability of the U.K. economic recovery, along with its concomitant impacts on the
Santander UK Group's profitability, remains a risk. On 23 June 2016, the U.K. held a non-binding referendum on its
membership in the EU, in which a majority voted for the U.K. to leave the EU. While the longer term effects of the
referendum are difficult to predict, these are likely to include further financial instability and slower economic growth, as
well as higher unemployment and inflation.
The global credit market conditions have suffered from the general lack of liquidity in the secondary market for many types
of instruments which may include instruments similar to the N&C Securities.
The Group faces substantial competition in all parts of its business. The market for U.K. financial services is highly
competitive and the recent financial crisis continues to reshape the banking landscape in the U.K
Financial services providers face increasingly stringent and costly regulatory and supervisory requirements, particularly in
the areas of regulatory capital and liquidity management, the conduct of business, the structure of operations and the
integrity of financial services delivery. Under the terms of the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 U.K. banking
groups that hold significant retail deposits are required to separate their retail banking activities from their wholesale
banking activities by 1 January 2019. The Santander UK Group is subject to the ring-fencing requirement under the
Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013. Under the latest plan submitted by the Santander UK Group, the Issuer will
become the ring-fenced bank serving retail, commercial and corporate clients, adopting a "wide" ring-fence structure,
retaining the majority of its operations within the ring-fenced bank and transferring any excluded activities outside of the
ring-fenced group mainly to Banco Santander, S.A. or its London Branch. The restructuring of the Santander UK Group's
businesses pursuant to the developing ring-fencing regime will take a substantial amount of time and cost to implement, the
separation process and the structural changes which may be required could have a material adverse effect on its business,
operating results, financial condition, profitability and prospects.
Increased government intervention and control over financial institutions, together with measures to reduce systemic risk,
may significantly impact the competitive landscape.
On 23 June 2016, the U.K. held a referendum on the U.K.'s membership of the European Union (the "EU"). The result of
the referendum's vote was to leave the EU, which creates a number of uncertainties within the U.K., and regarding its
relationship with the EU. On 29 March 2017, the U.K. government triggered the two year period during which the U.K. and
the EU will negotiate the terms of the U.K.'s relationship with the EU, after which period its EU membership will cease.
UK political developments, along with any further changes in government structure and policies, may lead to further market
volatility and changes to the fiscal, monetary and regulatory landscape.

SECTION D - RISKS

$D.2$ Key risks regarding the issuer 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. It is not possible to identify all such factors or to determine which factors are most likely to occur, as 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. However, the Issuer has identified in the Base Prospectus a number of factors which could materially adversely affect its business and ability to make payments due under the N&C Securities, and it considers that the risks identified in the Base Prospectus include all the principal risks of an investment in the N&C Securities. These include:

  • the Group's operating results, financial condition and prospects may be materially impacted by economic $\blacksquare$ conditions in the UK as well as regulatory capital, leverage and liquidity requirements imposed on the Issuer;
  • the Group's operating results, financial condition and prospects may be negatively affected by conditions in global financial markets;
  • the Group is subject to liquidity requirements that could limit its operations, and changes to these requirements $\blacksquare$ may further limit and adversely affect the Group's operating results, financial condition and prospects;
  • the Group's financial results are constantly exposed to market risk. The Group is subject to fluctuations in interest $\blacksquare$ rates and other markets risks, which may materially and adversely affect it;
  • any reduction in the credit rating assigned to the Group, any member of the Group or to any Group debt securities would be likely to increase the Group's cost of funding, require additional collateral to be placed and adversely affect its interest margins and liquidity position;
  • the Group operates in a highly regulated environment that imposes costs and significant compliance requirements. Changes in regulations may increase the cost and complexity of doing business, or may disadvantage the Group relative to its competitors. The failure to comply with regulations could subject the Group to sanctions, force it to cease providing certain services, or oblige it to change the scope or nature of its operations;
  • customers and counterparties that owe the Group money, securities or other assets may default on their obligations to the Group due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons; and
  • the Group's future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of its key personnel, its ability to recruit, train, retain and motivate personnel, and to ensure that employment contract terms are appropriate.

Key risks regarding the N&C Securities $D.6$

$\bullet$

  • There are also risks associated with specified types of N&C Securities and with the N&C Securities and the markets generally, including that, 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. If the Issuer goes out of business or become insolvent, holders of the N&C Securities may lose all or part of their investment in the N&C Securities;
  • investors in N&C Securities may lose up to the entire value of their investment in the N&C Securities as a result $\bullet$ of the occurrence of any of (a) the insolvency of the Issuer, (b) investors seeking to sell the N&C Securities prior to their scheduled redemption, (c) a decrease in the value of the Preference Shares to which the N&C Security is linked, and (d) amounts payable being subject to deductions for taxes and/or expenses;
  • the N&C Securities represent direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank equally without any preference among themselves with all other present and future direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer;

  • the market value and the amount payable on redemption of the N&C Securities may be adversely affected by a number of factors, and the price at which a holder of N&C Securities may be able to sell N&C Securities prior to redemption may be at a substantial discount to the market value of such N&C Securities on the Issue Date. A holder of such N&C Securities may suffer a loss of some or up to all of the entire amount invested on redemption;

  • the N&C Securities will have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop, or the N&C Securities may be illiquid. In such case, investors may not be able to sell their N&C Securities easily or at favourable prices: and
  • the N&C Securities will be settled by the Issuer through one or more clearing systems and agents. In addition investors may hold N&C Securities through one or more intermediaries. As a result it may be necessary to enforce rights under the N&C Securities through such indirect holding structure and delays and settlement risk may exist as a result.

Additionally, the risks relating to investment in the N&C Securities depend on their features and may include, inter alia, risks relating to (but not limited to) operational/business risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, regulatory risk, reputational risk, competition risk, unsecured obligations, market risk, emerging market risk, hedging and potential conflicts of interest, tax liabilities, expenses and taxation, third party risk, structural risks relating to particular N&C Securities, including with respect to the preference shares or other reference item(s) (in the case of interest), no claim against the preference shares or other reference item(s) (in the case of interest) to which the N&C Securities relate, exchange rate risks, optional redemption risk, early redemption risk, settlement disruption, settlement risk, possible illiquidity of N&C Securities, equity risk, currency risk, underlying volatility risk, fund risk, failure to deliver due to illiquidity, inflation risk, modification, meetings, market disruption, a requirement to hold a minimum amount of N&C Securities, transfer restrictions, exchange, listing and legal regulation risk, risk arising from Calculation Agent discretion, over-allotment risk, risk relating to the discontinuation or withdrawal of the offer period, risk relating to inventory securities issues prior to their date of purchase and eurosystem eligibility risk.

Risk Warning

See D3 above. In addition:

  • investors in N&C Securities may lose up to the entire value of their investment in the N&C Securities as a result of the terms of the relevant N&C Securities as invested amounts are subject to the performance of Preference Shares; and
  • the Issue Price of the N&C Securities may be more than the market value of such N&C Securities as at the Issue Date, and the price of the N&C Securities in secondary market transactions.
