B.2	Domicile and legal form of the Issuer:	The Issuer is a public limited company registered in England and Wales under registration number 00489604. The liability of its members is limited. The Issuer was incorporated as a private limited company with limited liability on 20 December 1950 under the Companies Act 1948 and registered in England and Wales under registered number 00489604 with the name Edward Bates & Sons Limited. Since then it has undergone changes of name, eventually re-registering under the Companies Act 1985 on 23 January 2009 as a public limited company and is now incorporated under the name Investec Bank plc. The Issuer is subject to primary and secondary legislation relating to financial services and banking regulation in the United Kingdom, including, inter alia, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, for the purposes of which the Issuer is an authorised person carrying on the business of financial services provision. In addition, as a public limited company, the Issuer is subject to the UK Companies Act 2006.
B.4b	Trends:	The Issuer, in its preliminary unaudited consolidated financial information The Issuer, in its unaudited consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2013 published on 21 November 2013, recorded a moderate decrease in operating profit before tax after non-controlling interests to £40.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2013. The Issuer continued to focus on realigning its business model by building its non-banking revenue streams. The Issuer has maintained a strong capital and liquidity position with a tier 1 capital ratio of 11.1% and cash and near cash balances of £4.0 billion at 30 September 2013. Customer deposits decreased 2.3% to £11.1 billion with the ratio of core loans (excluding own originated securitized assets) to deposits improving from 68.2% to 68.8% at 30 September 2013. The Issuer's gearing ratio remains low with total assets to equity decreasing to 10.9 times at 30 September 2013 (31 March 2013: 11.4 times). The credit loss ratio was lower than

		the prior year at 1.12% and the Issuer expects this ratio to decrease further during the forthcoming financial year.*
		Regulatory uncertainties remain and the Issuer will continue to maintain excess levels of liquidity and capital until there is further clarity. The Issuer seeks to maintain an appropriate balance between revenue earned from operational risk businesses and revenue earned from financial risk businesses. This ensures that the Issuer is not over reliant on any one part of its business to sustain its activities and that it has a large recurring revenue base that enables it to navigate through varying cycles and to support its long-term growth objectives. The Issuer's current strategic objectives include increasing the proportion of its non lending revenue base which it largely intends to achieve through the continued strengthening and development of its Wealth Management business.

		The long-term senior debt of the Issuer has a rating of BBB+ as rated by Global Credit Rating. This means that Global Credit Rating is of the opinion that the Issuer has adequate protection factors and is considered sufficient for prudent investment. However, there is considerable variability in risk during economic cycles.
		The Notes to be issued have not been specifically rated.

		SECTION C – SECURITIES
C.1	Description of Type and Class of Securities:	Issuance in series: The Notes will be issued in series ("Series") which may comprise one or more tranches ("Tranches") issued on different issue dates. The Notes of each Tranche of the same series will all be subject to identical terms, except for the issue dates and/or issue prices of the respective Tranches.
		The Notes are issued as Series number ZCP 2014-7, Tranche number 1.
		Form of Notes: The applicable Final Terms will specify whether the relevant Notes will be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Notes"), in certificated registered form ("Registered Notes") or in uncertificated registered form ("Uncertificated Registered Notes"). Registered Notes and Uncertificated Registered Notes will not be exchangeable for other forms of Notes and vice versa.
		The Notes are issued in uncertificated registered form.
		Uncertificated Registered Notes will be held in uncertificated form in accordance with the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001, including any modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force (the "Regulations"). The Uncertificated Registered Notes will be participating securities for the purposes of the Regulations. Title to the Uncertificated Registered Notes will be recorded on the relevant Operator register of corporate securities (as defined in the Regulations) and the relevant "Operator" (as such term is used in the Regulations) is Euroclear UK and Ireland Limited (formerly known as CRESTCo Limited) or any additional or alternative operator from time to time approved by the Issuer and the CREST Registrar and in accordance with the Regulations. Notes in definitive registered form will not be issued either upon issue or in exchange for Uncertificated Registered Notes.
		Security Identification Number(s): The following security identification number(s) will be specified in the Final Terms.
		ISIN Code: GB00BHC8KB12
		Common Code: Not Applicable
		SEDOL Code: BHC8KB1
C.2	Currency of the Securities	Currency: Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, the Notes may be issued in any currency (the "Specified Currency").
	Issue:	The Specified Currency of the Notes is Pounds Sterling ("GBP").
C.5	Free Transferability:	The Notes are freely transferable. However, applicable securities laws in certain jurisdictions impose restrictions on the offer and sale of the Notes and accordingly the Issuer and the dealers have agreed restrictions on the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes in the United States, the European Economic Area, Isle of Man, South Africa, Guernsey and Jersey, and such other restrictions as may be required in connection with the offering and sale of a particular Tranche of Notes in order to comply with relevant securities laws.

C.8	The Rights Attaching to the Securities, including Ranking and Limitations to those Rights:	Status: The Notes are unsecured. The Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated, obligations of the Issuer that will rank pari passu among themselves and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer from time to time outstanding. Interest: The Notes are non-interest bearing. Redemption of the Notes: The Notes will be redeemed on their Maturity Date. In addition, the Notes may be redeemed prior to their stated maturity for taxation reasons, on account of certain events affecting the Preference Shares or following an event of default. Payments of Principal: Payments of principal in respect of Notes will in all cases be calculated by reference to the percentage change in value of one or more preference shares issued by Zebra Capital II Limited ("Preference Shares") in respect of the relevant series of Notes. The terms of each class of Preference Shares will be contained in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Zebra Capital II Limited and the Preference Share confirmation relating to such class. The redemption price of each class of Preference Shares will be calculated by reference to a single share, a basket of shares, an index or a basket of indices (the "Underlying"). The Underlying for the Notes is the worst performing index in a basket of indices. Taxation: All payments in respect of the Notes will be made without deduction for or on account of withholding taxes imposed by the United Kingdom unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In the event that any such deduction is made, the Issuer will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding or deduction. Denomination: The Notes will be issued in denominations of GBP1.00. Governing Law: English law
C.11	Listing and Trading:	This document has been approved by the FCA as a base prospectus in compliance with the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Notes issued under the Programme described in the Base Prospectus during the period of twelve months after the date hereof. Application has also been made for the Notes to be admitted during the twelve months after the date hereof to listing on the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the Regulated Market of the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange"). Application will be made for the Notes to be admitted to listing on the Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange effective as of 3 March 2014.
C.15	Effect of value of underlying instruments:	The performance of an underlying asset/instrument (being an index, share, basket of shares or basket of indices (the "Underlying")), determines the redemption price and final value (on a one for one basis) of a class of preference share issued by Zebra Capital II Limited (the "Preference Share"), a special purpose vehicle incorporated in the Cayman Islands which is independent of the Issuer and whose business consists of the issuance of Preference Shares in connection with the Programme.

		The market price or value of the Notes at any times is expected to be affected by changes in the value of the Preference Share and the Underlying.
C.16	Expiration or maturity date:	The Maturity Date of the Notes is 3 March 2020.
C.17	Settlement procedure:	The Notes will be cash-settled.
C.18	Return on securities:	The Notes that may be issued under the Programme are Upside Notes with Capital at Risk, Kick-Out Notes with Capital at Risk, Multi Equity Kick-Out Notes with Capital at Risk, N-Barrier Equity Linked Notes (Accumulation) with Capital at Risk or Range Accrual Equity Linked Notes (Accumulation) with Capital at Risk.
		The performance of an underlying asset (being an index, share, basket of shares or basket of indices (the "Underlying")), determines the redemption price of a class of preference shares (the "Preference Share"). This redemption price is used to calculate the final value of such Preference Share on a one for one basis. The percentage change in the final value of the Preference Share as against its issue price is then used to calculate the return on the Notes. As a result, the potential effect of the value of the underlying on the return on the Notes means that investors may lose some or all of their investment.
		In this section, for ease of explanation rather than refer to the Notes being linked to the value of the Preference Share which is in turn linked to the Underlying, Notes (including the return on the Notes) are described as being linked to the Underlying.
		In this Element C, if the applicable Notes are linked to Preference Shares which are not linked to an index but are linked to a share, basket of shares or basket of indices, any reference in this Element C to "index" shall be construed as including, in the alternative, a reference to "share", "basket of indices" and "basket of shares" (as applicable) and, consequently, references to:
		(i) "level" in respect of a single index shall be construed as references to "price" in respect of a single share, "the weighted average of the level of each index in the basket" in respect of a basket of indices, and "the weighted average of the price of each share in the basket" in respect of a basket of shares;
		(ii) "initial index level" in respect of a single index shall be construed as "initial share price" in respect of a single share, "the weighted average of the initial index level of each index in the basket" in respect of a basket of indices, and "the weighted average of the initial share price of each share in the basket" in respect of a basket of shares; and
		(iii) "final index level" in respect of a single index shall be construed as references to "final share price" in respect of a single share, "the weighted average of the final index level of each index in the basket" in respect of a basket of indices, and "the weighted average of the final share price of each share in the basket" in respect of a basket of shares.
		Multi Equity Kick-Out Notes with Capital at Risk: The Notes are zero coupon Multi Equity Kick-Out Notes with Capital at Risk.

	These Notes have the potential for early maturity (kick out) on a certain date or dates specified in the Final Terms, depending on the level of the worst performing of two or more Underlyings at that time. If the Notes kick out early an investor will receive a return of their initial investment plus a fixed percentage payment.
	If there has been no kick out, the return on the Notes at maturity will be based on the performance of the worst performing of two or more Underlyings, and in certain circumstances this may result in the investor receiving an amount less than their initial investment.
	The worst performing Underlying is the Underlying whose level or price at any relevant time shows the largest percentage decrease when compared
	to its initial level or price.
	The potential payouts at maturity for Multi Equity Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk are as follows:
	Scenario A –Digital Return
	If at maturity the level or price of the worst performing Underlying is greater than a specified percentage of the initial level or price of such worst performing Underlying, an investor will receive their initial investment multiplied by a specified percentage return (i.e. a "Digital Return").
	Scenario B – No Return
	At maturity investors may receive their initial investment with no additional return in the following circumstances, depending on whether a "Trigger Event"* is specified as applicable in the Final Terms.
	• If Trigger Event is specified as applicable in the Final Terms:
	If at maturity the level or price of the worst performing Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level or price of such worst performing Underlying (as applicable), an investor will receive its initial investment with no additional return, provided that a Trigger Event has not occurred.
	• If Trigger Event is not specified as applicable in the Final Terms:
	If at maturity the level or price of the worst performing Underlying is equal to a specified percentage of the initial level or price of such worst performing Underlying (as applicable), an investor will receive its initial investment with no additional return.

SECTION D – RISKS
D.2	Risks specific to	The following are the key risks applicable to the Issuer:
	the issuer:	The Issuer's businesses, earnings and financial condition may be affected by the instability in the global financial markets and economic crisis in the eurozone: The performance of the Issuer may be influenced by the economic conditions of the countries in which it operates, particularly the UK and Australia. The outlook for the global economy is uncertain, in particular in European markets due to sovereign debt and speculation around the future of the euro. These market conditions have exerted downward pressure on asset prices and on availability and cost of credit for financial institutions and will continue to impact the credit quality of the Issuer's customers and counterparties. The Issuer may experience increased funding costs and find continued participation in certain markets more challenging. The risk of one or more countries leaving the euro may also have an impact on the Issuer's UK market. Such conditions may cause the Issuer to incur losses, experience reductions in business activity, find continued participation in certain markets more challenging, and experience increased funding costs and funding pressures, lower share prices, decreased asset values, additional write-downs and impairment charges and lower profitability.
		The precise nature of all the risks and uncertainties the Issuer faces as a result of current economic conditions cannot be predicted and many of these risks are outside the control of the Issuer and materialisation of such risks may adversely affect the Issuer's financial condition and results of operations.
		The Issuer's business performance could be affected if its capital resources and liquidity are not managed effectively: The Issuer's capital and liquidity is critical to its ability to operate its businesses, to grow organically and to take advantage of strategic opportunities.
		The Issuer is required by regulators in the UK, Australia and other jurisdictions to maintain adequate capital and liquidity. Proposals relating to Basel III, the Capital Requirements Directive IV and those of the UK Independent Commission on Banking are likely to impact the management methods of the Issuer in relation to liquidity and capital resources and may also increase the costs of doing business. Any onerous regulatory requirements introduced by regulators could result in inefficiencies in the Issuer's balance sheet structure which may adversely impact the Issuer's profitability and results. Any failure to maintain any increased regulatory capital requirements or to comply with any other requirements introduced by regulators could result in intervention by regulators or the imposition of sanctions, which may have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's profitability and results.
		The maintenance of adequate capital and liquidity is also necessary for the Issuer's financial flexibility in the face of any turbulence and uncertainty in the global economy. Extreme and unanticipated market circumstances, similar to those experienced in the recent global financial crisis and situations arising from a further deterioration in the Eurozone, may cause exceptional changes in the Issuer's markets, products and other businesses. Any exceptional changes that limit the Issuer's ability effectively to manage its capital resources could have a material adverse impact on the Issuer's profitability and results. If such exceptional changes persist, the Issuer may not have sufficient financing available to it on a timely basis or on terms that are favourable to it to develop or enhance its businesses or services, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

		The Issuer has significant exposure to third party credit risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk that if third parties which owe the Issuer money, securities or other assets become unable to perform their obligations, the Issuer's funding will be affected. The resulting risk to Investors is that Investors may suffer a loss on their investment if the Issuer is unable to perform its payment obligations under any Notes it issues.
D.6	Risks specific to the securities:	The Notes that may be issued under the Programme are Upside Notes with Capital at Risk, Kick-Out Notes with Capital at Risk, Multi Equity Kick-Out Notes with Capital at Risk, N-Barrier Equity Linked Notes (Accumulation) with Capital at Risk or Range Accrual Equity Linked Notes (Accumulation) with Capital at Risk.
		The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes. As a result of one or more of these risks, investors may lose all or part of the value of their investment.
		Capital at Risk: The Notes are not capital protected. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that the return on a Note will be greater than or equal to the amount invested in the Notes initially or that an investor's initial investment will be returned. Investors may lose some or all of their initial investment.
		Unlike an investor investing in a savings account or similar investment, where an investor may typically expect to receive a low return but suffer little or no loss of their initial investment, an investor investing in the Notes may expect to potentially receive a higher return but may also expect to potentially suffer a total or partial loss of their initial investment.
		Return linked to performance of the relevant Preference Share: The return on the Notes is calculated by reference to the percentage change in value of one or more preference shares, the redemption price on such preference shares being based on the performance of an underlying asset (being an index, share, basket of shares or basket of indices (the "Underlying")). Poor performance of the relevant Underlying could result in investors, at best, forgoing returns that could have been made had they invested in a different product or, at worst, losing some or all of their initial investment.
		In this section, for ease of explanation, the return on the Notes is summarised by reference to the performance of the Underlying rather than the applicable Preference Share.
		Downside risk: Other than where the Final Terms specify that Barrier is applicable and the level of the index has not breached a certain specified level at a specified time or during a specified period (the "Barrier"), if at maturity the level of the index is less than a certain other specified level (the "Return Threshold"), the return on the Notes will be:
		less than the initial investment and investors will suffer a reduction of their initial investment in proportion (or a proportion multiplied by a gearing percentage) with the decline of the index level during a specified period or on a specified date. Accordingly investors will be fully exposed to the downside of the relevant index and, as a result, may lose all of their initial investment.

Leverage factor (Gearing): The return on the Notes may be subject to a leverage factor of less than 100% and accordingly investors may not be exposed to the full upside of the relevant Underlying. Conversely, if the Notes are subject to a leverage factor of more than 100%, a small downward movement in the final level or price of the relevant Underlying could result in investors suffering significant losses.

Capped return: The return on the Notes may be capped, thereby limiting the exposure to the upside performance of the relevant Underlying, which could result in the investors forgoing returns that could have been made had they invested in a product without a similar cap.

SECTION E – OFFER
E.2b	Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds:	Not applicable. The use of proceeds is to make a profit and/or hedge risks.
E.3	Terms and Conditions of the Offer:	The offer price for the Notes is 100 per cent. of the Aggregate Nominal Amount. The Notes will be offered to retail investors in the United Kingdom, Guernsey,
		Jersey and the Isle of Man. The offer period for the Notes will commence on 6 January 2014 and end on 14 February 2014.
		The Notes will be available only through an investment in the Dual-Index Defensive Kick-Out Plan 4 – Investec Option (the "Plan"), details of which are available from financial advisers.
		Duly completed applications together with cheques for the full amount of the investor's subscription must be received no later than 14 February 2014 (or 31 January 2014 in respect of ISA transfers). The application must be for a minimum of GBP3,000.00 subject to a maximum of GBP1,000,000.00.
		The final size will be known at the end of the Offer Period. A copy of the Final Terms will be filed with the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK (the "FCA"). On or before the Issue Date, a notice pursuant to UK Prospectus Rule 2.3.2(2) of the final aggregate principal amount of the Notes will be (i) filed with the FCA and (ii) published in accordance with the method of publication set out in Prospectus Rule 3.2.4(2).
		At the end of the Offer Period, the Plan Manager will proceed to notify the prospective Noteholders as to the amount of their allotment of the Notes.

E.4	Interests Material to the Issue:	The Issuer may be the Calculation Agent responsible for making determinations and calculations in connection with the Notes and may also be the Preference Share Calculation Agent and the valuation agent in connection with the reference asset(s). Such determinations and calculations will determine the amounts that are required to be paid by the Issuer to holders of the Notes. Accordingly, when the Issuer acts as Calculation Agent, Preference Share Calculation Agent or Valuation Agent its duties as agent (in the interests of holders of the Notes) may conflict with its interests as Issuer of the Notes.
E.7	Estimated Expenses:	Not applicable. Expenses in respect of the offer or listing of the Notes are not charged by the Issuer or Offeror or Dealer to the investor.
