Such recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that Eurosystem eligibility criteria have been met.

withholding or deduction for or on account of any UK taxes unless such
withholding or deduction is required by law.
Events of default: If the Issuer fails to make any payment due under the

C.15 Description of
how the value
of the
investment is
affected by the
value of the
The return on, and value of, the Securities will be linked to changes in the
value of the GBP Preference Share issued by Teal Investments Limited
(Class number: PEIS0001), the "Underlying Preference Share", the value
of which is dependent on the performance of the FTSE 100, S&P 500 and
Eurostoxx 50 indices each an "Underlying Preference Share Reference
Asset".
underlying
instrument
Interest
The Securities will not have interest.
Final redemption
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on 11 December 2024
by payment
by the Issuer of an amount in GBP for each GBP 1 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 multiplied by
an amount equal to the value of the Underlying Preference Share on 4
December 2024, being the final valuation date, divided by the value of the
Underlying Preference Share
on 11 December 2019, being the initial
valuation date. The final valuation date could be postponed if any relevant
date for valuation is postponed in accordance with the terms of the
Underlying Preference Share.
The greater the value of the Underlying Preference Share on the final
valuation date (as compared to the value of the Underlying Preference Share
on the initial valuation date), the greater the redemption amount payable on
the Securities. If the value of the Underlying Preference Share on the final
valuation date is below the value of the Underlying Preference Share on the
initial valuation date, the final redemption amount will be less than the
amount invested and could be as low as zero.
The return on the Underlying Preference Share will be calculated as an
amount dependent on the price or level of the Underlying Preference Share
Reference Assets on one or more specified dates during the life of the
Underlying Preference Shares. In particular, the return on the Underlying
Preference Share will depend on the following:

'the 'Initial Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset, which reflects the price or level of that
Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset
on the Initial
Valuation Date of the Underlying Preference Shares (being 4
December 2019) and is used as the reference point for determining
the performance of any investment;

the 'Final Valuation Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset, which reflects the price or level
of that Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset on or near the
Final Valuation Date;

the 'Strike Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset, which is calculated as 100% multiplied by
the Initial Price of that Underlying Preference Share Reference
Asset;
the 'Strike Price Percentage' which is 100%;

the 'Knock-in Barrier Price' of the Worst Performing Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset, which is calculated as 65%
multiplied by the Initial Price of that Underlying Preference Share
Reference Asset;

the 'Knock-in Barrier Percentage' which is 65%;

the 'Fixed Return Barrier Percentage' which is 75%;

the 'Fixed Return Percentage' which is 2.05%;

the price or level of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset on one or more 'observation dates' ;
the 'Final Performance', which is calculated by dividing the Final
Valuation Price of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset by the Initial Price of the Worst Performing
Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset.
Initial Price: The Initial Price of each Underlying Preference Share
Reference Asset is the Initial Price specified in respect of such Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset in the table below.

Final Valuation Price: The Final Valuation Price of each Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset is the closing price or level of such
Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset on 4 December 2024.
Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset: The
Knock-in Barrier Price, Initial Price, Strike Price and Final Valuation Price
to be considered for the purposes of determining the return on the
Underlying Preference Share
will be, as applicable, the Final Barrier,
Knock-in Barrier Price, nitial Price, Strike Price, or Final Valuation Price of
the Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset.
The Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset is the
Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset with the lowest performance.
The 'performance' of each Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset is
calculated by dividing the Final Valuation Price of an Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset by its Initial Price.
The 'Fixed Return Barrier' of each Underlying Preference Share Reference
Asset is calculated as the Fixed Return Barrier Percentage specified in the
table below multiplied by the Initial Price of such Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset.
Each Fixed Return Valuation Date and Fixed Return Barrier Percentage is
specified in the table below:

Calculation of the return on the Underlying Preference Share
There are several threshold levels which will affect the calculation of the
return on the Underlying Preference Share. In particular, the return on the
Underlying Preference Share will be calculated differently depending on
whether or not the price or level of the Underlying Preference Share
Reference Assets on certain dates is equal to, above or below certain
specified threshold levels. In other words, the return on the Underlying
Preference Share will be calculated differently depending on whether or not
the performance of the Underlying Preference Share Reference Assets
satisfies certain 'threshold tests'.
The first threshold test for the Underlying Preference Shares underlying the
Securities is whether:
The Final Valuation Price of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset is greater than or equal to the Knock-in Barrier Price
of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset.
If the first threshold test is satisfied, the return on the Underlying Preference
Share will be calculated as follows: Return on the Underlying Preference
Share = the Calculation Amount (being GBP 1) multiplied by the sum of (a)
the number of occasions on which the fixed return condition is satisfied
multiplied by the Fixed Return Percentage and (b) 100%. The fixed return
condition is satisfied if, in respect of a Fixed Return Valuation Date, the
closing price or level of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share
Reference Asset is equal to or greater than the Fixed Return Barrier on such
Fixed Return Valuation Date.If the first threshold test is not satisfied, the
return on the Underlying Preference Share will instead be calculated as
follows
Return on the Underlying Preference Share = the Calculation Amount (being
GBP 1) multiplied by the sum of (a) the number of occasions on which the
fixed return condition is satisfied multiplied by the Fixed Return Percentage
and (b) the Final Performance divided by the Strike Price Percentage (being
100%). The fixed return condition is satisfied if, in respect of a Fixed Return
Valuation Datethe closing
price or level of the Worst Performing
Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset is equal to or greater than the
Fixed Return Barrier on such Fixed Return Valuation Date.
Early redemption of the Underlying Preference Shares following an autocall
event (phoenix):
If the closingprice or level of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset observed on an Autocall Valuation Date (Phoenix) is
greater than or equal to its corresponding Autocall Barrier (Phoenix) in
respect of such
Autocall Valuation Date (Phoenix), the Underlying
Preference Shares will be redeemed on the Autocall Early Redemption Date
(Phoenix) instead of the scheduled redemption date of such Underlying
Preference Shares. In such an event, the return on the Underlying Preference
Share will be equal to the Calculation Amount (being GBP 1) multiplied by
the sum of (a) the number of occasions on which the fixed return condition
is satisfiedmultiplied by the Fixed Return Percentage and (b) 100%, payable
on the relevant Autocall Early Redemption Date (Phoenix).
The 'Autocall Barrier (Phoenix)' of each Underlying Preference Share
Reference Asset is calculated as the Autocall Barrier Percentage (Phoenix)
specified in the table below multiplied by the Initial Price of such
Underlying Preference Share Reference Asset.
Each Autocall Valuation Date (Phoenix) and the corresponding Autocall
Early Redemption Date (Phoenix), and
Autocall Barrier Percentage

Early redemption
Securities may at the option of the Issuer (in the case of (i) or (ii)) or 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 an optional
additional disruption event, which may include, but not be limited to, the
insolvency of the issuer of the Underlying Preference Shares or an
adjustment to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Preference Shares,
or (iii) following the occurrence of the redemption the Underlying
Preference Shares (other than by scheduled redemption pursuant to its
terms).
The amount due in respect of each Security upon such early redemption will
be calculated in the same way as if the Securities were redeemed on the
scheduled redemption date save that for such purpose the final value in
respect of the Underlying Preference Share shall be its value as of the day on
which it is determined that the Security will be early redeemed, all as
determined by the Determination Agent in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner.
Details of the past and future performance and the volatility of the
Underlying Preference Share
Reference Assets may be obtained from
Bloomberg Screen: UKX Index in respect of the FTSE 100 Index, SPX
Index in respect of the S&P 500 Index and SX5E Index in respect of the
EURO STOXX 50 Index .
C.16 Expiration or
maturity date
of the
Securities
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on the scheduled redemption date.
Such scheduled redemption date may be delayed if the determination of any
value used to calculate an amount payable under the Securities is delayed
(including where the valuation of any Underlying Preference Share is
delayed in accordance with its terms).
The scheduled redemption date of the Securities will be 11 December 2024.
C.17 Settlement
procedure of
Securities will be delivered on 11 December 2019 (the "Issue Date") free of
payment of the issue price of the Securities.
the derivative
securities
The Securities are cleared and settled through Euroclear and Clearstream.
C.18 Description of
how the return
on derivative
securities takes
place
The value of and return (if any) on the Securities will be linked to changes in
the value of the Underlying Preference Share, the value of which is
dependent on the performance of the Underlying Preference Share
Reference Assets. In particular, the greater the value of the Underlying
Preference Share on the final valuation date (as compared to the value of the
Underlying Preference Share on the initial valuation date), the greater the
redemption amount payable on the Securities. If the value of the Underlying
Preference Share on the final valuation date is below the value of the
Underlying Preference Share on the initial valuation date, the final
redemption amount will be less than the amount invested and could be as
low as zero.
C.19 Final reference
price of the
underlying
The fair market value of the Underlying Preference Share (Preference
Sharefinal) will be determined on the Final Valuation Date.
C.20 Type of
underlying
The Securities are linked to the Underlying Preference Share, namely the
GBP Preference Share issued by Teal Investments Limited (Class number:
PEIS0001).

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key
information on
the key risks
that are
specific to the
Issuer
The risks described below are material existing and emerging risks which
senior management has identified with respect to the Bank Group.
(i)
Material existing and emerging risks potentially impacting more
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.
Should the UK lose automatic qualification to be part of Single
Euro Payments 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.
Technology change could result in outages or operational errors
leading to delays in the transfer of assets and liabilities to Barclays
Bank Ireland PLC, and delayed delivery could lead to European
clients losing access to products and service and increased
reputational risk.
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 9 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: The
Bank Group's ability to attract, develop and retain a diverse mix of
talent is key to the delivery of its core business activity and
strategy. 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: The Bank Group is required to comply with the domestic
and international tax laws and practice of all countries in which it
has business operations. 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.
The outcome of legal, competition and regulatory matters, both those to
which the Bank Group is currently exposed and any others which may arise
in the future, is difficult to predict. In connection with such matters, the
Bank Group may incur significant expense, regardless of the ultimate
outcome. In light of the uncertainties involved in legal, competition and
regulatory matters, there can be no assurance that the outcome of a particular
matter or matters will not be material to the Bank Group's results of
operations or cash flow for a particular period.
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 relevant
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 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 on
the key risks
that are
specific to the
Securities; and
risk warning
that investors
may lose some
or all of the
value of their
investment
You may 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 the value of your investment if:
the Underlying Preference Share(s) (or the Underlying Preference
Share
Reference Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying Preference
Share(s)) perform in such a manner that the redemption amount
payable to you (whether at maturity or following an early redemption)
is less than the initial purchase price and could be as low as zero;
you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market (if
any) at an amount that is less than the initial purchase price; and/or
the Securities are redeemed early following the occurrence of an
extraordinary event in relation to the Underlying Preference Share, the
Issuer, the relevant currencies or taxation (such as following an additional
disruption event) and the amount you receive on such early redemption is
less than the initial purchase price.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 Preference Share(s) (or the Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying Preference
Share(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 Preference Share(s) (or the Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying Preference
Share(s)).
Securities include embedded derivatives on Underlying Reference
Asset(s) that are subject to adjustment: The Securities are linked to the
Underlying Preference Share(s) which are in turn linked to the Underlying
Preference Share Reference Asset(s). The Underlying Preference Share(s)
are subject to provisions which provide for adjustments and modifications of
their terms and alternative means of valuation of the Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset(s) in certain circumstances (and which could be
exercised by the issuer of the Underlying Preference Share(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 Preference Shares: You are exposed to the
change in value of the Underlying Preference Share(s) which may fluctuate
up or down depending on the performance of the Underlying Preference
Share Reference Asset(s). The performance of the Underlying Preference
Share 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 Preference Share(s)
between 11 December 2019 and 4 December 2024. Any information about
the past performance of the Underlying Preference Share(s) and/or the
Underlying Preference Share 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 Preference
Share(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
Preference Share(s) that are issued by the Issuer and it may negatively affect
both the value of the Underlying Preference Share(s) and the value of your
Securities.
Risks associated with specific Underlying Preference Share Reference
Asset(s):
As the Underlying Preference Share Reference Assets are equity indices, the
Underlying Preference Share may be subject to the risk of fluctuations in
market interest rates, currency exchange rates, equity 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 Preference Share may be
traded. This could have an adverse effect on the value of the Underlying
Preference Share 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.
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.
Section E – Offer
E.2b Reasons for
offer and use of
proceeds when
different from
making profit
and/or hedging
certain risks
The net proceeds from each issue of Securities will be applied by the Issuer
for its general corporate purposes, which include making a profit and/or
hedging certain risks. If the Issuer elects at the time of issuance of Securities
to make different or more specific use of proceeds, the Issuer will describe
that use in the Final Terms.
Not Applicable: the net proceeds will be applied by the Issuer for making
profit and/or hedging certain risks.
E.3 Description of
the terms and
conditions of
the offer
Not Applicable: the Securities have not been offered to the public.
E.4 Description of
any interest
material to the
issue/offer,
including
conflicting
interests
The relevant Manager(s) or authorised offeror(s) may be paid fees in relation
to any issue or offer of Securities. Potential conflicts of interest may exist
between the Issuer, Determination Agent, relevant Manager(s) or authorised
offeror(s) or their affiliates (who may have interests in transactions in
derivatives related to the Underlying Reference Asset(s) which may, but are
not intended to, adversely affect the market price, liquidity or value of the
Securities) and holders.
Any Manager(s) and its affiliates may be engaged and may in the future
engage, in trading and market-making activities in the Underlying
Preference Share and/or the Underlying Preference Share Reference Assets
and hedging activities with respect to the Securities. The Issuer is the
Determination Agent in respect of the Securities and the determination agent
in respect of the Underlying Preference Share.
E.7 Estimated
expenses
charged to
investor by
issuer/offeror
The Issuer will not charge any expenses to holders in connection with any
issue of Securities. Offerors may, however, charge expenses to holders.
Such expenses (if any) will be determined by agreement between the offeror
and the holders at the time of each issue.
