8. Intended to be held in a manner 19.42 which would allow Eurosystem eligibility:

No. Whilst the designation is specified as "No" at the date of these Final Terms, should the Eurosystem eligibility criteria be amended in the future such that the Notes are capable of meeting them the Notes may then be deposited with one of the ICSDs as common safekeeper and registered in the name of a nominee of one of the ICSDs acting as common safekeeper. Note that this does not necessarily mean that the Notes will then be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra day credit operations by the Eurosystem at any time during their life. Such recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that Eurosystem eligibility criteria have been met.

### *What are the key risks that are specific to the Issuer?*

**The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle:** The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle with the sole business of issuing ETP Securities. The Issuer's only funds to make payments in respect of a Series of ETP Securities are the amounts received by the Issuer from the realisation of the Collateral Assets (as defined below). For each Series, the Issuer will create security over the Collateral Assets in respect of that Series for the benefit of, amongst others, the ETP Securityholders of that Series. In the event that the security created by the Issuer is enforced, and the proceeds of such enforcement are, after making payment to all senior ranking creditors, insufficient to pay all amounts due to such ETP Securityholders in full, the Issuer shall have no liability, obligation or debt for any shortfall in payment and none of the ETP Securityholders or the Trustee (or any other party acting on their behalf) may take any further action to recover such amounts.

**Claims of the Margin Loan Provider:** Investors should be aware that the agreements entered into between the Issuer and the Margin Loan Providers (the "**LS Margin Account Agreements**") do not contain limited recourse provisions with respect to the obligations of the Issuer.

There is a risk therefore that, in respect of a claim against the Issuer by a Margin Loan Provider in relation to an LS Margin Account Agreement, if following realisation in full of the Secured Property (whether by way of liquidation or enforcement) in respect of a Series of ETP Securities and application of available cash in accordance with the applicable orders of priority and the Trust Deed, a claim remains outstanding against the Issuer, such claim may be made against assets attributable to other outstanding Series of ETP Securities on a *pro rata* basis. GWM Limited, who may act as the broker dealer of record with respect to certain Series of ETP Securities (the "**Broker Dealer of Record**") however, has agreed to indemnify the Issuer against any loss, cost, claim, action, demand or expense which the Issuer may incur as a result of any such claims by the Margin Loan Provider.

# **C Key Information on the Securities**

# *What are the main features of the Securities?*

Each Series of ETP Securities will either be linked to an index (the "I**ndex**") or will pursue an investment strategy which will describe the manner in which the proceeds of the issuance of the ETP Securities will be invested along with any leverage to be employed in respect of such investment strategy (the "**Investment Strategy**"). The Index or Investment Strategy will reference one or more assets (the "**Reference Assets**") which can consist of (i) equity securities, (ii) debt securities, (iii) fixed income securities, (iv) units in exchange traded funds; (v) mutual funds (items (i) to (v), ("**Physical Assets**") or (vi) futures contracts and (vii) options contracts.

Series of ETP Securities can offer leveraged long exposure ("**Leveraged Exposures**"), short inversed leveraged exposure ("**Short Exposures**") or +1x exposure ("**Normal Exposures**") to the Reference Assets. With respect to Series of ETP Securities offering Leveraged Exposures and Short Exposures, the degree of leverage or inversed leverage will be embedded in either (i) the Index or Investment Strategy; or (ii) directly in the ETP Securities. The degree of leverage which will apply for each Series of ETP Securities will be reflected in the applicable leverage factor (the "**Leverage Factor"**). Series of ETP Securities may also be issued which have the objective of generating income to fund periodic interest payments (the "**Income Series**"). The Investment Strategy of an Income Series may also provide for a Leveraged Exposure to the relevant Reference Assets, details of which will be included in the description of the Investment Strategy.

The underlying assets in respect of each Series of ETP Securities are:

- in the case of Leveraged Exposures and Normal Exposures where the Reference Assets are Physical Assets: the Reference Assets of the applicable Index or Investment Strategy for such Series of ETP Securities; Ancillary Assets (as defined below); and any cash;
- in the case of Short Exposures where the Reference Assets are Physical Assets: the mark to market value of securities loans; the Ancillary Assets; and any cash;
- in the case of ETP Securities where the Reference Assets are futures contracts: the mark to market value of the futures contracts; the Ancillary Assets; and any cash;
- in the case of Income Series where the Reference Assets are options contracts: the mark to market value of the options contracts; any underlying assets of the options contracts acquired by the Issuer to (i) cover its exposure under the options in accordance with the Investment Strategy or (ii) as a result of the options contracts being physically settled; Ancillary Assets; and any cash;
- in the case of Income Series offering Leveraged Exposures where the Reference Assets are Physical Assets: the Reference Assets of the Investment Strategy for such Series of ETP Securities; Ancillary Assets; and any cash,

in each case as held in the margin account(s) established for that Series (the "**Margin Account**" and the "**Collateral Assets**").

Amounts standing to the credit of a Margin Account in respect of a Series of ETP Securities, to the extent not required for investment to replicate the performance of the relevant Index for that Series or for investment in accordance with the Investment Strategy for that Series, may at the direction of the Portfolio Administrator be maintained as cash balances in the Margin Account or invested in sovereign debt in the currency of denomination of the ETP Securities with an original maturity of less than one month which is rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, and/or P-1 by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. and/or F1 by Fitch Ratings Limited (the "**Ancillary Assets**").

Where applicable, each Series of ETP Securities will reference the performance of the related Index or Investment Strategy over a daily, weekly, monthly period or such other period as set out in the Final Terms (the "**Rebalance Period**"). At the end of each Rebalance Period the Margin Account will be reconstituted in order to track the performance of the Index or pursue the Investment Strategy.

The redemption amount of the ETP Securities will be derived from the liquidation of the Collateral Assets, as purchased or sold in accordance with the Leverage Factor of such Series of ETP Securities.

In respect of each Income Series, the Issuer shall make payments of interest amounts in respect of the ETP Securities of that Series on the relevant interest payment date as set out in the Final Terms.

The ETP Securities are freely transferable.

Each Series of ETP Securities will only give rights to ETP Securityholders to participate in the proceeds of the liquidation of a *pro rata* portion, in respect of such ETP Securityholders, of the Collateral Assets held in the relevant Margin Account with respect to such Series, after the pro rata deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with the liquidation of such Collateral Assets, the *pro rata* deduction of the Arranger Fee and any applicable margin interest, securities lending fees and brokerage fees ("**Funding and Brokerage Fees**") accrued thereon and in the case of Income Series, any pro rata adjustments to take account of any interest amounts to be paid with respect to the ETP Securities. Such liquidation will take place on the Final Redemption Date (as specified below) or only in limited circumstances before this date.

On specified valuation days, an "**ETP Security Value**" shall be calculated by the Determination Agent which shall reflect the value of the Collateral Assets in respect of a Series of ETP Securities as adjusted to take into account all applicable fees and expenses.

For each Series, the Issuer will create security over the Collateral Assets in respect of that Series for the benefit of, amongst others, the ETP Securityholders of that Series. Following the enforcement of the security granted by the Issuer in respect of each Series, the Trustee will apply the proceeds derived from the realisation of the Collateral Assets that are the subject of the security in the applicable order of priority under which amounts due to the ETP Securityholders will be subordinated to all costs, fees, expenses and all other amounts including (without limitation) the costs of enforcing and/or realising any security due to the Trustee itself and any receiver, in each case in relation to the ETP Securityholders.

If, in relation to a Series of ETP Securities, the net proceeds of the realisation of the security created in respect of such Series by the Issuer are insufficient to pay all amounts owed by the Issuer to the secured creditors (other than the Margin Loan Provider(s)) in respect of that Series, no other assets of the Issuer will be available to meet any shortfall and all outstanding claims of such secured creditors will be extinguished. No party (other than the Margin Loan Provider(s)) will be entitled to take any further steps against the Issuer to recover any further sum.

#### *Issue specific summary:*

*Application has been made to the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") for the ETP Securities to which these Final Terms apply to be admitted to the Official List of the FCA. Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the ETP Securities to which these Final Terms apply to be admitted to trading on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.*

*Application has been made for the Series of ETP Securities to which these Final Terms apply to be admitted to listing and trading on Euronext Amsterdam, the regulated market operated by Euronext Amsterdam.* 

*What are the key risks that are specific to the Securities?*

**AN INVESTMENT IN ETP SECURITIES INVOLVES A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE OF RISK.** The following are the key risk factors which should be carefully considered by prospective investors before deciding whether to invest in ETP Securities. Investors should consult their own financial, legal, accounting and tax advisors about the risks of an investment in ETP Securities.

Market price of the ETP Securities:The ETP Securities may have a long term and the Final Redemption Date could be up to 50 years from the original Issue Date of the Series.

The only means through which an investor will be able to realise value from an ETP Security prior to their Final Redemption Date will be to sell it at its then market price in a secondary market transaction.

Market-making by Authorised Participants:Investors are dependent on there being one or more Authorised Participants making a market in ETP Securities in order to provide investors with liquidity. Investors should be aware that no Authorised Participant is obliged to make a market for any Series of ETP Securities and in circumstances where an Authorised Participant acts a market maker with respect to any Series of ETP Securities, such Authorised Participant may discontinue making a market at any time. If there are no Authorised Participants, or the Authorised Participant(s) fail to effectively make a market in the ETP Securities of a Series, the investors may not be able to sell any such ETP Securities within a short time period, or at a price close to the ETP Security Value for that Series. If investors are unable to sell the ETP Securities they will be unable to realise their investment until the final redemption date.

#### *Issue Specific Summary*

*Leverage Risk: The ETP Securities provide leveraged exposure to the performance of the Reference Assets and as a result will be much more volatile than unleveraged investment in such Reference Assets. Relatively small changes in the value of the relevant Reference Assets may cause investors to lose some, or all, of their investment in an accelerated timescale.*

*Rebalancing Risk: An investment in the ETP Securities is suitable only for a sophisticated investor who is able to monitor its position in such ETP Securities on a frequent basis, and who understands the risks of compounded returns over the Rebalance Period and how the returns may be affected by unscheduled rebalancings. ETP Securities give the stated exposure to the relevant Reference Assets over the applicable Rebalance Period and accordingly, over periods of more than the applicable Rebalance Period, their performance can differ significantly from the performance of the relevant Reference Assets multiplied by the applicable Leverage Factor for such longer period.*

*ETP Securities linked to an Index: Each ETP Security will be linked to the performance of the relevant Index, which in turn will be linked to the performance of the Reference Assets underlying that Index. The amount payable on redemption of the ETP Securities will depend on the liquidation of the Collateral Assets in relation to that Series.*

*ETP Securities linked to Equity Securities: The risks of an ETP Security linked to equity securities may include, but are not limited to, the possibility of significant changes in the price(s) of the relevant equities. The value of the relevant equities may go down as well as up and the value of any relevant equities on any date may not reflect their performance in any prior period. There can be no assurance as to the future value of any equity security or of the continued existence of any equity, debt or its related company. Accordingly, before making an investment decision with respect to ETP Securities, prospective investors should carefully consider whether an investment, the return on which will depend on the performance of equity securities, is suitable for them.*

## *Material Conflicts of Interest*

The Authorised Participants and/or their respective affiliates may be active traders in certain markets. These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders of the ETP Securities and the interests the Authorised Participants and their respective affiliates may have in their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for their customers and in accounts under their management. These trading activities, if they influence the value of an Index or Investment Strategy to which a Series of ETP Securities is linked, could be adverse to the interests of the ETP Securityholders. The Authorised Participants and their respective affiliates may also issue or underwrite additional securities or trade other products the return on which is linked to the value of an Index or Investment Strategy linked to a Series of ETP Securities or other similar strategies. An increased level of investment in these products may negatively affect the level of an Index or Investment Strategy to which a Series of ETP Securities is linked and therefore the amount payable in respect of such Series of ETP Securities on their stated maturity date or any prior redemption date, as applicable, and the market value of such ETP Securities.
