| 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 |
| Despite recent improvements in certain segments of the global economy, uncertainties remain concerning the future economic environment. Uncertainty surrounding future economic developments of the Eurozone remains an issue and interest rate differentials among Eurozone countries still indicate continued doubts about some governments' ability to fund themselves sustainably and affect borrowing rates in those economies. |
|
| 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 UK financial services is highly competitive and the recent financial crisis continues to reshape the banking landscape in the UK. |
|
| 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. |
|
| 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 UK held a referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union (the "EU"). The result of the referendum's vote was to leave the EU and on 29 March 2017 the UK Government exercised its right under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty to leave the EU. There is now expected to be a 2-year period of negotiations between the UK Government and the Governments of the other EU Member States which will determine the manner of the UK's departure from the EU. The decision to leave the EU creates a number of uncertainties within the UK, and regarding its relationship with the EU. |

| 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 they currently deem 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 ● 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'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; |
|
| any reduction in the credit rating assigned to the Group, any member of the Group or to any Group debt N&C ● 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, N&C 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. |
|
| D.3 | Key risks regarding the N&C Securities |
| 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 ● 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 termination, (c) the relevant N&C Securities being subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the N&C Securities, and (d) amounts payable being subject to deductions for |
taxes and/or expenses;
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 certain underlyings, no claim against the reference item(s) to which the N&C Securities relate, exchange rate risks, settlement disruption, illegality and cancellation, time lag after redemption or exercise, 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 N&C Securities issues prior to their date of purchase, risk arising in the event the United Kingdom joins the European Monetary Union and eurosystem eligibility risk.
Additionally, the risks relating to investment in the N&C Securities include, inter alia, risks relating to (but not limited to) early redemption.
| D.6 | 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 where invested amounts are subject to the performance of variable benchmarks such as equities, indices and fixed income benchmarks; |
|
| ● | 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; and |
|
| ● | if the relevant N&C Securities include leverage, potential holders of such N&C Securities should note that these N&C Securities will involve a higher level of risk and that whenever there are losses such losses may be higher than those of a similar N&C Security which is not leveraged. Investors should therefore only invest in leveraged N&C Securities if they fully understand the effects of leverage. |

|
