PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS: The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA Retail Investor"). For these purposes, an EEA Retail Investor means a person in the European Economic Area who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended from time to time, "MiFID"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the Insurance Mediation Directive (Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended from time to time)) ("IMD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended from time to time, including by Directive 2010/73/EU, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to EEA Retail Investors has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any EEA Retail Investor may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

| C.11 | Admission to trading |
Application is expected to be made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the Securities to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the London Stock Exchange with effect from the Tranche 2 Issue Date. |
|||
| C.15 | Description of how the value of the investment is affected by the value of the underlying instrument |
The return on, and value of, Securities will be linked to the performance of one or more specified equity indices, shares, depository receipts or exchange traded funds or a combination of these. The underlying assets for the Securities are: the S&P 500 Index and the FTSE 100 Index (each, an "Underlying Asset"). Calculations in respect of amounts payable under the Securities are made by reference |
|||
| to a "Calculation Amount", being GBP 1.00. Where the Calculation Amount is different from the specified denomination of the Securities, the amount payable will be scaled accordingly. Indicative amounts: If the Securities are being offered by way of a Public Offer and any specified product values are not fixed or determined at the commencement of the Offer Period, these specified product values will specify an indicative amount, indicative minimum amount, an indicative maximum amount or any combination thereof. In such case, the relevant specified product value(s) shall be the value determined based on market conditions by the Issuer on or around the end of the Offer Period. Notice of the relevant specified product value will be published prior to the Issue Date. INTEREST Phoenix without memory interest: Each Security will only pay interest in respect of an Interest Valuation Date if the closing price or level of every Underlying Asset on such Interest Valuation Date is greater than or equal to its corresponding Interest Barrier. If this occurs, the amount of interest payable with respect to that Interest Valuation Date is calculated by multiplying the fixed rate of 3.10% by GBP 1.00. Interest will be payable on the corresponding Interest Payment Date set out in the table |

AUTOMATIC REDEMPTION (AUTOCALL)
The Securities will automatically redeem prior to their scheduled redemption date if the closing price or level of every Underlying Asset is at or above its corresponding Autocall Barrier on any Autocall Valuation Date (an "Automatic Redemption (Autocall) Event"). If this occurs, you will receive a cash payment equal to the nominal amount of your Securities payable on the Autocall Redemption Date corresponding to such Autocall Valuation Date.

Each Autocall Valuation Date and the corresponding Autocall Barrier is as follows:
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;
- the '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 per cent. multiplied by the Initial Price of that asset; and
- the 'Knock-in Barrier Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Asset, which is calculated as 65 per cent. 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 28 June 2019.
Final Valuation Price: The Final Valuation Price of each Underlying Asset is the closing price or level of such Underlying Asset on 29 June 2026, the "Final Valuation Date".
Worst Performing Underlying Asset: The Knock-in Barrier Price, Initial 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, Initial 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 amount per Calculation Amount equal to GBP 1.00. |
||
| Otherwise: you will receive a cash amount per Calculation Amount, calculated by dividing the Final Valuation Price by the Strike Price and multiplying the result by the Calculation Amount. |
||
| C.16 | Expiration or maturity date of the Securities |
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on the scheduled redemption date. This day may be postponed following the postponement of a valuation date due to a disruption event. The scheduled redemption date of the Securities is 13 July 2026. |
| C.17 | Settlement procedure of the derivative securities |
Securities may be cleared and settled through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., Clearstream Banking société anonyme or CREST. The Securities will be cleared and settled through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V./Clearstream Banking société anonyme |
| C.18 | Description of how the return on derivative securities takes place |
The return on, and value of, the Securities will be linked to the performance of the Underlying Assets. Payments of interest will depend on the performance of the Underlying Assets during the life of the Securities. A fall in the price of any Underlying Asset below a specified level on any Interest Valuation Date will reduce the amount of interest payable on the Securities. The value of, and return on (if any), the Securities will depend on the performance of the Underlying Assets on each Autocall Valuation Date and the Final Valuation Date. If no Automatic Redemption (Autocall) Event has occurred on an Autocall Valuation Date and any Underlying Asset performs negatively over and during the life of the Securities, a holder may sustain a loss of part or all of the amount invested in the Securities. |
| C.19 | Final reference price of the underlying |
The final reference level of any equity index, or final reference price of any share, depository receipt or fund to which Securities are linked, will be determined by reference to a publicly available source on a specified date or dates. The final valuation price of each Underlying Asset is the closing price or level of such Underlying Asset on 29 June 2026, as determined by the Determination Agent. |
| C.20 | Type of underlying |
Securities may be linked to one or more: common shares; depositary receipts representing common shares; exchange traded funds (ETFs) (being a fund, pooled investment vehicle, collective investment scheme, partnership, trust or other similar legal arrangement and holding assets, such as shares, bonds, indices, commodities, and/or other securities such as financial derivative instruments); or equity indices. The Underlying Assets for the Securities are: the S&P 500® Index and the FTSETM 100 Index.

| Section D – Risks | ||
| D.2 | Key information | The risks described below are material existing and emerging risks which senior |
| on the key risks | management has identified with respect to the Bank Group. | |
|---|---|---|
| that are specific | (i) | Material existing and emerging risks potentially impacting more |
| to the Issuer | than one principal risk | |
| Business conditions, general economy and geopolitical issues | ||
| The Bank Group's business mix spreads across multiple geographies and client types. | ||
| The breadth of these operations means that deterioration in the economic environment, | ||
| or an increase in political instability in countries where the Bank Group is active, or in | ||
| any systemically important economy, could adversely affect the Bank Group's | ||
| operating performance, financial condition and prospects. | ||
| Process of UK withdrawal from the European Union | ||
| The uncertainty around Brexit spanned the whole of 2018, and intensified in the | ||
| second half of the year. The full impact of the withdrawal may only be realised in | ||
| years to come, as the economy adjusts to the new regime, but the Bank Group | ||
| continues to monitor the most relevant risks, including those that may have a more | ||
| immediate impact, for its business: | ||
| | Market volatility, including in currencies and interest rates, might increase | |
| which could have an impact on the value of the Bank Group's trading book | ||
| positions. | ||
| | Potential UK financial institutions credit spread widening could lead to reduced | |
| investor appetite for the Bank Group's debt securities; this could negatively | ||
| impact the cost of, and/or access to, funding. | ||
| | A credit rating agency downgrade applied directly to the Bank Group, or | |
| indirectly as a result of a credit rating agency downgrade to the UK | ||
| Government, could significantly increase the Bank Group's borrowing costs, | ||
| credit spreads and materially adversely affect the Bank Group's interest | ||
| margins and liquidity position. | ||
| | Changes in the long-term outlook for UK interest rates may adversely affect | |
| pension liabilities and the market value of investments funding those liabilities; | ||
| | Increased risk of a UK recession with lower growth, higher unemployment and | |
| falling UK house prices. This would negatively impact a number of the Bank | ||
| Group's portfolios. | ||
| | The implementation of trade and customs barriers between the UK and EU | |
| could lead to delays and increased costs in the passage of goods for corporate | ||
| banking customers. This could negatively impact the levels of customer | ||
| defaults and business volumes which may result in an increase in the Bank | ||
| Group's impairment charges and a reduction in revenues. | ||
| | Changes to current EU "Passporting" rights may require further adjustment to | |
| the current model for the Bank Group's cross-border banking operation which | ||
| could increase operational complexity and/or costs. | ||
| | The ability to attract, or prevent the departure of, qualified and skilled | |
| employees may be impacted by the UK's and the EU's future approach to the | ||
| EU freedom of movement and immigration from the EU countries and this may | ||
| impact the Bank's access to the EU talent pool. | ||
| | The legal framework within which the Bank Group operates could change and | |
| become more uncertain if the UK takes steps to replace or repeal certain laws | ||
| currently in force, which are based on EU legislation and regulation following | ||
| its withdrawal from the EU. |
| Area there could be a resultant impact on the efficiency of, and access to, European payment systems. In addition, loss of automatic qualification to the European Economic Area (EEA) or access to financial markets infrastructure could impact service provision for clients, likely resulting in reduced market share and revenue and increased operating costs for the Bank Group. There are certain execution risks relating to the transfer of the Bank Group's European businesses to Barclays Bank Ireland PLC. Interest rate rises adversely impacting credit conditions To the extent that central banks increase interest rates particularly in the Bank Group's main markets, in the UK and the US, there could be an impact on consumer debt affordability and corporate profitability. While interest rate rises could positively impact the Bank Group's profitability, as retail and corporate business income may increase due to margin de-compression, future interest rate increases, if larger or more frequent than expectations, could cause stress in the loan portfolio and underwriting activity of the Bank Group. Higher credit losses driving an increased impairment allowance would most notably impact retail unsecured portfolios and wholesale non investment grade lending. Changes in interest rates could also have an adverse impact on the value of high quality liquid assets which are part of the Bank Group Treasury function's investment activity. Consequently, this could create more volatility than expected through the Bank Group's FVOCI reserves. Regulatory change agenda and impact on business model The Bank Group remains subject to ongoing significant levels of regulatory change and scrutiny in many of the countries in which it operates (including, in particular, the UK and the US). A more intensive regulatory approach and enhanced requirements together with the uncertainty (particularly in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU) and potential lack of international regulatory co-ordination as enhanced supervisory standards are developed and implemented may adversely affect the Bank Group's business, capital and risk management strategies and/or may result in the Bank Group deciding to modify its legal entity structure, capital and funding structures and business mix, or to exit certain business activities altogether or not to expand in areas |
|---|
| despite otherwise attractive potential. |
| (ii) Material existing and emerging risks impacting individual principal risks |
| Credit risk: |
| 1. Impairment: The introduction of the impairment requirements of IFRS Financial Instruments, implemented on 1 January 2018, results in impairment loss allowances that are recognised earlier, on a more forward looking basis and on a broader scope of financial instruments than has been the case under IAS 39 and has had, and may continue to have, a material impact on the Bank Group's financial condition. 2. Specific sectors and concentrations: The Bank Group is subject to risks arising from changes in credit quality and recovery rate of loans and advances due |
| from borrowers and counterparties in a specific portfolio. Any deterioration in credit quality could lead to lower recoverability and higher impairment in a specific sector. |
| 3. Environmental risk: The Bank Group is exposed to credit risks arising from energy and climate change. Indirect risks may be incurred as a result of environmental issues impacting the credit worthiness of the borrower resulting in higher impairment. |
Market risk: An uncertain outlook for the direction of monetary policy, the US-China trade conflict, slowing global growth and political concerns in the US and Europe (including Brexit), are some of the factors that could heighten market risks for the Bank Group's portfolios.
In addition, the Bank Group's trading business is generally exposed to a prolonged period of elevated asset price volatility, particularly if it negatively affects the depth of marketplace liquidity. Such a scenario could impact the Bank Group's ability to execute client trades and may also result in lower client flow-driven income and/or market-based losses on its existing portfolio of market risks. These can include having to absorb higher hedging costs from rebalancing risks that need to be managed dynamically as market levels and their associated volatilities change.
Treasury and capital risk: The Bank Group may not be able to achieve its business plans due to: a) inability to maintain appropriate capital ratios; b) inability to meet its obligations as they fall due; c) rating agency downgrades; d) adverse changes in foreign exchange rates on capital ratios; e) adverse movements in the pension fund; f) non-traded market risk/interest rate risk in the banking book.
Operational risk:
- Cyber threat: The financial sector remains a primary target for cyber criminals. There is an increasing level of sophistication in both criminal and nation state hacking for the purpose of stealing money, stealing, destroying or manipulating data, and/or disrupting operations. Other events have a compounding impact on services and customers. Failure to adequately manage this threat could result in increased fraud losses, inability to perform critical economic functions, customer detriment, potential regulatory censure or penalties, legal liability, reduction in shareholder value and reputational damage.
- Fraud: Criminals continue to adapt their techniques and are increasingly focused on targeting customers and clients through ever more sophisticated methods of social engineering. External data breaches also provide criminals with the opportunity to exploit the growing levels of compromised data. These threats could lead to customer detriment, loss of business, regulatory censure, missed business opportunity and reputational damage.
- Operational resilience: The loss of or disruption to the Bank Group's business processing is a material inherent risk theme within the Bank Group and across the financial services industry, whether arising through impacts on technology systems, real estate services, personnel availability or the support of major suppliers. Failure to build resilience into business processes or into the services of technology, real estate or suppliers on which the Bank Group business processes depend may result in significant customer detriment, costs to reimburse losses incurred by customers, potential regulatory censure or penalties, and reputational damage.
Supplier exposure: The Bank Group depends on suppliers for the provision of many of its services and the development of technology. Failure to monitor and control the Bank Group's suppliers could potentially lead to client information or critical infrastructures not being adequately protected or available when required. Failure to adequately manage outsourcing risk could result in increased losses, inability to perform critical economic functions, customer detriment, potential regulatory censure, legal liability and reputational damages. Processing error: Material operational or payment errors could disadvantage the
| Bank Group's customers, clients or counterparties and could result in regulatory | ||
|---|---|---|
| censure, legal liability, reputational damage and financial loss for the Bank | ||
| Group. | ||
| | New and emerging technology: Introducing new forms of technology, however, | |
| also has the potential to increase inherent risk. Failure to evaluate, actively | ||
| manage and closely monitor risk exposure during all phases of business | ||
| development could lead to customer detriment, loss of business, regulatory | ||
| censure, missed business opportunity and reputational damage. | ||
| | Ability to hire and retain appropriately qualified employees: Failure to attract or | |
| prevent the departure of appropriately qualified employees could negatively | ||
| impact the Bank Group's financial performance, control environment and level | ||
| of employee engagement. Additionally, this may result in disruption to service | ||
| which could in turn lead to disenfranchising certain customer groups, customer | ||
| detriment and reputational damage. | ||
| | Tax risk: There is a risk that the Bank Group could suffer losses due to | |
| additional tax charges, other financial costs or reputational damage as a result | ||
| of failing to comply with such laws and practice, or by failing to manage its tax | ||
| affairs in an appropriate manner, with much of this risk attributable to the | ||
| international structure of the Bank Group. | ||
| | Critical accounting estimates and judgements: The preparation of financial | |
| statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates. It also | ||
| requires management to exercise judgement in applying relevant accounting | ||
| policies. There is a risk that if the judgement exercised, or the estimates or | ||
| assumptions used, subsequently turn out to be incorrect, this could result in | ||
| significant loss to the Bank Group, beyond what was anticipated or provided | ||
| for. | ||
| | Data management and information protection: The Bank Group holds and | |
| processes large volumes of data, including personally identifiable information, | ||
| intellectual property, and financial data. Failure to accurately collect and | ||
| maintain this data, protect it from breaches of confidentiality and interference | ||
| with its availability exposes the Bank Group to the risk of loss or unavailability | ||
| of data or data integrity issues. This could result in regulatory censure, legal | ||
| liability and reputational damage, including the risk of substantial fines under | ||
| the General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), which strengthens the | ||
| data protection rights for customers and increases the accountability of the | ||
| Bank Group in its management of that data. | ||
| | Unauthorised or rogue trading: Unauthorised trading, such as a large unhedged | |
| position, which arises through a failure of preventative controls or deliberate | ||
| actions of the trader, may result in large financial losses for the Bank Group, | ||
| loss of business, damage to investor confidence and reputational damage. | ||
| | Algorithmic trading: In some areas of the investment banking business, trading | |
| algorithms are used to price and risk manage client and principal transactions. | ||
| An algorithmic error could result in increased market exposure and subsequent | ||
| financial losses for the Bank Group and potential loss of business, damage to | ||
| investor confidence and reputational damage. | ||
| Model risk: The Bank Group relies on models to support a broad range of business | ||
| and risk management activities, including informing business decisions and strategies, | ||
| measuring and limiting risk, valuing exposures, conducting stress testing, assessing | ||
| capital adequacy, supporting new business acceptance and risk and reward evaluation, |
| managing client assets, and meeting reporting requirements. Models are, by their | |
|---|---|
| nature, imperfect and incomplete representations of reality. Models may also be | |
| misused. Model errors or misuse may result in the Bank Group making inappropriate | |
| business decisions and being subject to financial loss, regulatory risk, reputational risk | |
| and/or inadequate capital reporting. | |
| Conduct risk: There is the risk of detriment to customers, clients, market integrity, | |
| effective competition or the Bank Group from the inappropriate supply of financial | |
| services, including instances of wilful or negligent misconduct. | |
| 1. Ineffective product governance could lead to poor customer outcomes, |
|
| regulatory sanctions, financial loss and reputational damage. | |
| 2. The Bank Group may be adversely affected if it fails to effectively mitigate the |
|
| risk that third parties or its employees facilitate, or that its products and services | |
| are used to facilitate financial crime. Failure to comply may lead to | |
| enforcement action by the Bank Group's regulators together with severe | |
| penalties, affecting the Bank Group's reputation and financial results. | |
| 3. Failure to protect personal data can lead to potential detriment to the Bank |
|
| Group's customers and clients, reputational damage, regulatory sanctions and | |
| financial loss, which under the GDPR may be substantial. | |
| 4. Failure to meet the requirements and expectations of the UK Senior Managers |
|
| Regime, Certification Regime and Conduct Rules may lead to regulatory | |
| sanctions, both for the individuals and the Bank Group. | |
| Reputation risk: A risk arising in one business area can have an adverse effect upon | |
| the Bank Group's overall reputation; any one transaction, investment or event that, in | |
| the perception of key stakeholders reduces their trust in the Bank Group's integrity and | |
| competence. | |
| The Bank Group's associations with sensitive topics and sectors have the potential to | |
| give rise to reputation risk for the Bank Group and may result in loss of business, | |
| regulatory censure and missed business opportunity. | |
| In addition, reputation risk has the potential to arise from operational issues or conduct | |
| matters which cause detriment to customers, clients, market integrity, effective | |
| competition or the Bank Group. | |
| Legal risk and legal, competition and regulatory matters: Legal disputes, | |
| regulatory investigations, fines and other sanctions relating to conduct of business and | |
| breaches of legislation and/or regulations may negatively affect the Bank Group's | |
| results, reputation and ability to conduct its business. | |
| The Bank Group conducts diverse activities in a highly regulated global market and | |
| therefore is exposed to the risk of fines and other sanctions. Authorities have continued | |
| to investigate past practices, pursued alleged breaches and imposed heavy penalties on | |
| financial services firms. A breach of applicable legislation and/or regulations could | |
| result in the Bank Group or its staff being subject to criminal prosecution, regulatory | |
| censure, fines and other sanctions in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Where | |
| clients, customers or other third parties are harmed by the Bank Group's conduct, this | |
| may also give rise to legal proceedings, including class actions. Other legal disputes | |
| may also arise between the Bank Group and third parties relating to matters such as | |
| breaches, enforcement of legal rights or obligations arising under contracts, statutes or | |
| common law. Adverse findings in any such matters may result in the Bank Group | |
| being liable to third parties or may result in the Bank Group's rights not being | |
| enforced as intended. | |
| Resolution actions (including bail-in actions) in the event the Issuer is failing or |
| likely to fail could materially adversely affect the value of the Securities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Under the UK Banking Act, the Bank of England, the HM Treasury and a number of other UK authorities have substantial powers to take a range of resolution actions to rescue a financial institution (such as the Issuer), where it considers the relevant institution to be failing or likely to fail. In such case, the relevant UK resolution authority could exercise such powers to (a) transfer all or part of the institution's business to a third party and/or to a "bridge bank" and/or to a vehicle created by the resolution authority, (b) take the institution into temporary public ownership, (c) provided the conditions are met, exercise the 'bail-in tool' or (d) require some combination thereof. Exercise of the 'bail-in tool' in respect of the Issuer and the Securities would be expected to be made without the consent of the holders of the Securities, and could result in the cancellation of all, or some, of the principal amount of, interest on, the Securities and/or the conversion of the Securities into shares or other obligations of the Issuer or another person, or any other modification to the terms of the Securities. The exercise of resolution powers in respect of the Issuer and the Securities (in particular, the 'bail-in tool') could materially adversely affect the rights of the holders of the Securities, the value of the Securities and/or the ability of the Issuer to satisfy its obligations under the Securities, and holders of the Securities could lose some or all of their investment. |
||
| D.6 | Key information | You may lose some or all of your investment. |
| on the key risks that are specific to the Securities including a risk |
The terms of the Securities do not provide for scheduled minimum payment of the face value or issue price of the Securities at maturity: depending on the performance of the Underlying Asset, you may lose some or all of your investment. |
|
| warning that investors may lose some or all of the value of their investment |
The payment of any amount or delivery of any property due under the Securities is dependent upon the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations when they fall due. The Securities are unsecured obligations. They are not deposits and they are not protected under the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme or any other deposit protection insurance scheme. Therefore, if the Issuer fails or is otherwise unable to meet its payment or delivery obligations under the Securities, you will lose some or all of your investment. |
|
| You will lose up to the entire value of your investment if the Issuer fails or is otherwise unable to meet its payment obligations. |
||
| You may also lose some or all of your entire investment if: | ||
| you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market (if any) at an amount that is less than the initial purchase price; |
||
| the Securities are redeemed early following the occurrence of an extraordinary event in relation to the Underlying Asset(s), the Issuer, the Issuer's hedging arrangement, the relevant currencies or taxation (such as following an additional disruption event) and the amount you receive on such redemption 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 you 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 each 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. You will |
| not have any rights of ownership, including, without limitation, any voting rights or | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| rights to receive dividends, in respect of any Underlying Asset. | |||
| Reinvestment risk/loss of yield: Following an early redemption of the Securities for any reason, you may be unable to reinvest the redemption proceeds at a rate of return as high as the return on the Securities being redeemed. You should consider such reinvestment risk in light of other available opportunities before you purchase the Securities. |
|||
| US withholding on dividend equivalent amounts: Certain actual or deemed payments on the securities held by non-US investors generally may be subject to a US withholding tax of 30 per cent. No additional amounts will be payable in respect of such withholding taxes. |
|||
| Equity Index risks: Securities linked to the performance of equity indices provide investment diversification opportunities, but will be subject to the risk of fluctuations in both equity prices and the value and volatility of the relevant equity index. Securities linked to equity indices may not participate in dividends or any other distributions paid on the shares which make up such indices, accordingly, you may receive a lower return on the Securities than you would have received if you had invested directly in those shares. |
|||
| The relevant index sponsor can add, delete or substitute the components of an equity index at its discretion, and may also alter the methodology used to calculate the level of such index. These events may have a detrimental impact on the level of that index, which in turn could have a negative impact on the value of and return on the Securities. |
|||
| Worst-of: You 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, you might receive no interest payments and/or could lose some or all of your 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. |

hedging transactions with respect to the Underlying Asset. The Issuer will not charge any expenses to investors in connection with the issue of Securities. Offerors may, however, charge expenses to investors. Such expenses (if any) will be determined by agreement between the Authorised Offeror and the investors at the time of each issue. |
