securities and are issued as notes.
The Securities will not bear interest.
If the Securities have not redeemed early they will redeem on the
scheduled redemption date and the amount paid will be a redemption
amount that is linked to the change in value of one or more specified
warrants
which
may
fluctuate
up
or
down
depending
on
the
performance of the reference asset(s) to which they are linked.
Securities will be cleared through a clearing system and may be held in
bearer
form.
Certain
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.
The Securities are transferable obligations of the Issuer that can be
bought and sold by investors in accordance with the terms and
conditions set out in the Base Prospectus as completed by the final
terms document (the "Final Terms").
Form: The Securities will initially be issued in global bearer form and
may be exchanged for definitive securities if the clearing system ceases
doing business, or if the Issuer fails to make payments when due.
Interests in the Securities will be constituted through the issuance of
dematerialised depository interests ("CDIs"), issued, held, settled and
transferred through Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited (formerly known as

and to vote on proposed amendments to the terms of the Securities.

Securities or breaches any other provision of the Securities (and, in each
case, such failure is not remedied within 30 days) or the Issuer is subject

another permitted entity subject to certain conditions, and to take
certain other actions with regard to the Securities and the underlying
asset(s) (if any).

underlying Final Redemption
instrument The Securities are scheduled to redeem on 9 December
2020 by
payment by the Issuer of an amount in GBP for each GBP 1.00 in
nominal amount of the Securities equal to an amount determined by the
Determination Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable
manner as GBP 1.00 multiplied by an amount equal to the value of the
Underlying Warrant on 2 December 2020, being the final valuation date,
divided by the value of the Underlying Warrant on 2 December 2014,
being the initial valuation date, the final valuation date being subject to
certain delay provisions if any relevant date for valuation is delayed in
accordance with the terms of the Underlying Warrant.
The greater the value of the Underlying Warrant on the final valuation
date (as compared to the value of the Underlying Warrant on the initial
valuation date), the greater the redemption amount payable on the
Securities. If the value of the Underlying Warrant on the final valuation
date is below the value of the Underlying Warrant
on the initial
valuation date the final redemption amount will be less than the amount
invested and could be as low as zero.

shall (in the case of (iii)) be redeemed earlier than the scheduled
redemption date (i) if performance becomes unlawful or physically
impracticable, (ii) following the occurrence of a change in applicable
law, a currency disruption event, an extraordinary market disruption or
a tax event affecting the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the
Securities) or (iii) following the occurrence of (a) the cancellation or
termination of the Underlying Warrant (other than by scheduled
exercise or automatic exercise pursuant to its terms) or (b) a specified
early cancellation event in respect thereof.
In each case, the amount due in respect of the Calculation Amount for
each Security will be an amount determined by the Determination
Agent in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner on the
same basis as that which would have determined the amount due on
final redemption except that the final value in respect of any Underlying
Warrant shall be its value as of the day on which the disruption or
termination
event,
event
of
default,
unlawfulness
or

changes in the value of the Underlying Warrant, the value of which is
dependent on the performance of the Underlying Warrant Reference
Assets.
C.19 Final
reference

2020 (the final valuation date).
The value of the Underlying Warrant on the final valuation date will be

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key Credit risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk of suffering loss if any of its
information customers, clients or market counterparties fails to fulfil its contractual
on the key obligations. The Issuer may also suffer loss where the downgrading of an
risks that are entity's credit rating causes a fall in the value of the Issuer's investment
specific to in that entity's financial instruments.
the Issuer 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) has 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 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.
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.

an additional disruption event) and the amount you receive on
such early redemption is less than the initial purchase price.
or part of it Risk of withdrawal of the public offering: In case of a public offer, the
Issuer may provide in the Final Terms that it is a condition of the offer
that the Issuer may withdraw the offer for reasons beyond its control,
such as extraordinary events that in the determination of the Issuer may
be prejudicial to the offer. In such circumstances, the offer will be
deemed to be null and void. In such case, where you have already paid
or delivered subscription monies for the relevant Securities, you will be
entitled to reimbursement of such amounts, but will not receive any
remuneration that may have accrued in the period between their
payment or delivery of subscription monies and the reimbursement of
the Securities.
Reinvestment risk / loss of yield: Following an early redemption of your
Securities for any reason, you may be unable to reinvest the redemption
proceeds at an effective yield as high as the yield on the Securities being
redeemed.
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; the Issuer's creditworthiness or perceived
creditworthiness; and the performance of the relevant Underlying
Warrant(s) (or the Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s) and in turn
the Underlying Warrant(s)).
Securities are not 'principal protected': Upon maturity of your
Securities, you may lose some or all of the capital that you invested,
depending on the performance of the Underlying Warrant(s) (or the
Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying
Warrant(s)).
Securities include embedded derivatives on Underlying Asset(s) that
are subject to adjustment: The securities are linked to the Underlying
Warrant(s) which are in turn linked to the Underlying Warrant
Reference Asset(s). The Underlying Warrant(s) are subject to provisions
which provide for adjustments and modifications of their terms and
alternative means of valuation of the Underlying Warrant Reference
Asset(s) in certain circumstances (and which could be exercised by the
issuer of the Underlying Warrant(s) in a manner which has an adverse
effect on the market value and/or amount repayable in respect of your
Securities).
Risks relating to Underlying Warrant: You are exposed to the change in
value of the Underlying Warrant(s) which may fluctuate up or down
depending on the performance of the Underlying Warrant Reference
Asset(s). The performance of the Underlying Warrant Reference
Asset(s) may be subject to fluctuations that may not correlate with
other similar reference assets. Payments upon redemption will be
calculated by the change in value of the Underlying Warrant(s) between
2 December 2014 and 9 December 2020. Any information about the
past performance of the Underlying Warrant(s) and/or the Underlying
Warrant Reference Asset(s) should not be taken as an indication of how
prices will change in the future. You should also note that the market
value of both your Securities and the Underlying Warrant(s) will be
affected by the ability, and the perceived ability, of the Issuer to fulfil its
obligations under the instruments. The impact of any inability, or
perceived inability, of the Issuer in this regard may be greater in respect
of the Securities as the Securities are linked to Underlying Warrant(s)
that are issued by the Issuer and it may negatively affect both the value
of the Underlying Warrant(s) and the value of your Securities.
Risks associated with specific Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s):
As the Underlying Warrant Reference Asset is an equity index, the
Underlying Warrant may be subject to the risk of fluctuations in market
interest rates, currency exchange rates, equity prices, commodity prices,
inflation, the value and volatility of the relevant equity index, and also to
economic, financial, regulatory, political, terrorist, military or other
events in one or more jurisdictions, including factors affecting capital
markets generally or the stock exchanges on which any such Underlying
Warrant may be traded. This could have an adverse effect on the value
of the Underlying Warrant which, in turn, will have an adverse effect on
the value of your Securities.
The capital invested in the Securities is at risk. Consequently, you may
lose the value of your entire investment, or part of it.
