b
Known trends
affecting the
Issuer and
industries in
which the Issuer
operates
The business and earnings of the Issuer and its subsidiary
undertakings (together, the "Group") can be affected by the fiscal or
other policies and other actions of various governmental and
regulatory authorities in the UK, EU, US and elsewhere, which are all
subject to change. The regulatory response to the financial crisis has
led and will continue to lead to very substantial regulatory changes
in the UK, EU and US and in other countries in which the Group
operates. It has also (amongst other things) led to (i) a more
assertive approach being demonstrated by the authorities in many
jurisdictions; and (ii) enhanced capital and liquidity requirements
(for example pursuant to the fourth Capital Requirements Directive
(CRD IV)). Any future regulatory changes may restrict the Group's
operations, mandate certain lending activity and impose other,
significant compliance costs.
Known trends affecting the Issuer and the industry in which the
Issuer operates include:

continuing political and regulatory scrutiny of the banking
industry
which
is
leading
to
increased
or
changing
regulation that is likely to have a significant effect on the
industry;

general changes in regulatory requirements, for example,
prudential rules relating to the capital adequacy framework
and rules designed to promote financial stability and
increase depositor protection;

the US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, which contains far reaching regulatory
reform (including restrictions on proprietary trading and
fund-related activities (the so-called "Volcker rule"));

recommendations by the Independent Commission on
Banking that: (i) the UK and EEA retail banking activities of a
UK bank or building society should be placed in a legally
distinct,
operationally
separate
and
economically
independent entity (so-called 'ring-fencing'); and (ii) the
loss-absorbing capacity of ring-fenced banks and UK
headquartered global systemically important banks (such as
the Issuer) should be increased to levels higher than the
Basel 3 proposals;

investigations by the Office of Fair Trading into Visa and
MasterCard credit and debit interchange rates, which may
have an impact on the consumer credit industry;

investigations by regulatory bodies in the UK, EU and US into
submissions made by the Issuer and other panel members to
the bodies that set various interbank offered rates such as
the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the Euro
Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"); and

changes in competition and pricing environments.

The Securities will either bear interest at a fixed rate or at a rate
determined by reference to the performance of one or more equity
indices, shares, depository receipts or funds (each, an "Underlying
Asset"), and will automatically redeem early if the Underlying
Asset(s) is/are above a certain level on any of the specified dates. If

linked to the performance of the Underlying Asset(s).
Securities may be cleared through a clearing system or uncleared

Securities may be in dematerialised and uncertificated book-entry
form. Title to cleared Securities will be determined by the books of
the relevant clearing system.
Securities will be issued in one or more series (each a "Series") and
each Series may be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on the
same or different issue dates. The Securities of each Series are
intended to be interchangeable with all other Securities of that
Series. Each Series will be allocated a unique Series number and an
identification code.
Interest:
The amount of interest payable on the Securities is
determined by reference to a fixed rate of 3.95%.
Early redemption following an 'autocall event': The Securities will
redeem prior to their scheduled redemption date if the closing price
or level of the Underlying Asset is at or above its corresponding
Autocall Barrier on any of the specified autocall valuation dates. If
this occurs, you will receive a cash payment equal to the nominal
amount (or face value) of your Securities payable on a specified
payment date.
Final redemption: If the Securities have not redeemed early they will
redeem on the scheduled redemption date and the cash payment
you receive or underlying asset you are delivered (if any) will be
determined by reference to the value of the Underlying Asset on a
specified valuation date or dates during the life of the Securities.

political subdivision thereof or therein) unless such withholding or
deduction is required by law. In the event that any such withholding

circumstances, be required to pay additional amounts to cover the
amounts so withheld or deducted.
Additional Disruption Events: If there is a change in applicable law,
a currency disruption, an extraordinary market disruption or a tax

case
of
interest,
15
days),
the

will
become
immediately due and payable, upon notice being given by the holder
(or, in the case of French law Securities, the representative of the
holders).
Unlawfulness: If the Issuer determines that the performance of any
of its obligations under the Securities has become unlawful the
Securities may be redeemed early at the option of the Issuer.

attend meetings to vote upon proposed amendments to the terms
of the Securities or to pass a written resolution in the absence of

FINAL REDEMPTION

If the Securities have not redeemed early they will redeem on the Scheduled Redemption Date at an amount that is dependent on each of the following:

  • The 'Initial Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Asset, which reflects the price or level of that asset near the issue date of the Securities;
  • 'Final Valuation Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Asset, which reflects the price or level of that asset near the Scheduled Redemption Date;
  • The 'Strike Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Asset, which is calculated as 100% multiplied by the Initial Price of that asset;
  • The 'Knock-in Barrier Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Asset, which is calculated as 65% multiplied by the Initial Price of that asset.

Initial Price: The Initial Price of each Underlying Asset is the closing price or level of such Underlying Asset on the Initial Valuation Date.

Final Valuation Price: The Final Valuation Price of each Underlying Asset is the closing price or level of such Underlying Asset on 28 February 2020, the "Final Valuation Date".

Worst Performing Underlying Asset: The Knock-in Barrier Price, Final Valuation Price and Strike Price to be considered for the purposes of determining the final redemption amount will be the Knock-in Barrier Price, Final Valuation Price or Strike Price of the Underlying Asset with the lowest Performance. The 'Performance' of each Underlying Asset is calculated by dividing the Final Valuation Price of an asset by its Initial Price.

European Barrier redemption: If the Final Valuation Price is greater than or equal to the Knock-in Barrier Price, you will receive a cash

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key information
on the key risks
that are specific
to the Issuer
Credit Risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk of suffering loss if any
of its customers, clients or market counterparties fails to fulfil its
contractual obligations. The Issuer may also suffer loss where the
downgrading of an entity's credit rating causes a fall in the value of
the Issuer's investment in that entity's financial instruments.
Weak or deteriorating economic conditions negatively impact these
counterparty and credit-related risks. In recent times, the economic
environment in the Issuer's main business markets (being Europe
and the United States) have been marked by generally weaker than
expected growth, increased unemployment, depressed housing
prices, reduced business confidence, rising inflation and contracting
GDP. Operations in the Eurozone remain affected by the ongoing
sovereign debt crisis, the stresses being exerted on the financial
system and the risk that one or more countries may exit the Euro.
The current absence of a predetermined mechanism for a member
state to exit the Euro means that it is not possible to predict the
outcome of such an event and to accurately quantify the impact of
such event on the Issuer's profitability, liquidity and capital. If some
or all of these conditions persist or worsen, they may have a material
adverse effect on the Issuer's operations, financial condition and
prospects.
Market risk: The Issuer may suffer financial loss if the Issuer is
unable to adequately hedge its balance sheet. This could occur as a
result of low market liquidity levels, or if there are unexpected or
volatile changes in interest rates, credit spreads, commodity prices,
equity prices and/or foreign exchange rates.
Liquidity risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk that it may be unable
to meet its obligations as they fall due as a result of a sudden, and
potentially protracted, increase in net cash outflows. These outflows
could be principally through customer withdrawals, wholesale
counterparties removing financing, collateral posting requirements
or loan draw-downs.
Capital risk: The Issuer may be unable to maintain appropriate
capital ratios, which could lead to: (i) an inability to support business
activity; (ii) a failure to meet regulatory requirements; and/or (iii)
credit
ratings
downgrades.
Increased
regulatory
capital
requirements and changes to what constitutes capital may constrain
the Issuer's planned activities and could increase costs and
contribute to adverse impacts on the Issuer's earnings.
Legal and Regulatory-related risk: Non-compliance by the Issuer
with applicable laws, regulations and codes relevant to the financial
services industry could lead to fines, public reprimands, damage to
reputation, increased prudential requirements, enforced suspension
of operations or, in extreme cases, withdrawal of authorisations to
operate.
Reputation Risk: Reputational damage reduces –
directly or
indirectly – the attractiveness of the Issuer to stakeholders and may
lead to negative publicity, loss of revenue, litigation, regulatory or
legislative action, loss of existing or potential client business,
reduced workforce morale, and difficulties in recruiting talent.
Sustained reputational damage could have a materially negative
impact on the Issuer's licence to operate and the value of the Issuer's
franchise
which
in
turn
could
negatively
affect
the
Issuer's
profitability and financial condition.
Infrastructure Resilience, Technology and Cyberspace risk: The
Issuer is exposed to risks from cyberspace to its systems. If customer
or proprietary information held on, and/or transactions processed
through these systems, is breached, there could be a materially
negative impact on the Issuer's performance or reputation.
Taxation risk: The Issuer may suffer losses arising from additional
tax charges, other financial costs or reputational damage due to:
failure to comply with or correctly assess the application of, relevant
tax law; failure to deal with tax authorities in a timely, transparent
and effective manner; incorrect calculation of tax estimates for
reported and forecast tax numbers; or provision of incorrect tax
advice.
D.6 Key information
on the key risks
that are specific
to the
Securities; and
risk warning
Investors in Securities may lose up to the entire value of their
investment:
The investor is exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer and will lose
up to the entire value of their investment if the Issuer goes bankrupt
or is otherwise unable to meet its payment obligations.
that investors
may lose value
Investors may also lose the value of their entire investment, or part
of it, if:
of entire
investment

the Underlying Asset performs in such a manner that the
redemption amount payable to investors (whether at
maturity or following any early redemption) is less than the
initial purchase price;

investors sell their Securities prior to maturity in the
secondary market at an amount that is less than the initial
purchase price;

the Securities are redeemed early for reasons beyond the
control of the Issuer (such as following an additional
disruption event) and the amount paid to investors is less
than the initial purchase price; and/or

the terms and conditions of the Securities are adjusted (in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities)
with the result that the redemption amount payable to
investors and/or the value of the Securities is reduced.
Return linked to performance of Underlying Asset: The return
payable on the Securities is linked to the change in value of the
Underlying Asset over the life of the Securities. Any information
about the past performance of any Underlying Asset should not be
taken as an indication of how prices will change in the future.
Investors will not have any rights of ownership, including, without
limitation, any voting rights or rights to receive dividends, in respect
of any Underlying Asset.
Worst-of: Investors are exposed to the performance of every
Underlying Asset. Irrespective of how the other Underlying Assets
perform, if any one or more Underlying Assets fail to meet a relevant
threshold or barrier for the payment of interest or the calculation of
any redemption amount, investors might receive no interest
payments and/or could lose some or all of their initial investment.
Volatile market
prices: The market value of the Securities is
unpredictable and may be highly volatile, as it can be affected by
many unpredictable factors, including: market interest and yield
rates; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; exchange controls;
the time remaining until the Securities mature; economic, financial,
regulatory, political, terrorist, military or other events in one or
more jurisdictions; changes in laws or regulations; and the Issuer's
creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness.
