	SECTION B - ISSUER
B.1	Legal and commercial name of the Issuer:	The legal name of the issuer is Invested Bank plc (the "Issuer").
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 audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 published on 30 June 2014, recorded an increase in operating profit before goodwill and acquired intangibles and after non-controlling interests to £109.5 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2014. 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 10.7 per cent. and cash and near cash balances of £4.3 billion at 31 March 2014. Customer deposits decreased 2 per cent. to £11.1 billion with the ratio of core loans (excluding own originated securitized assets) to deposits improving from 68.2 per cent. to 69.9 per cent. at 31 March 2014. The Issuer's gearing ratio remains low with total assets to equity decreasing to 10.5 times at 31 March 2014 (30 September 2013: 10.9 times). The credit loss ratio was lower than the prior year at 1% 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.

		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.

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 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.
		consequently, references to:	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,
			(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.
Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk: The Notes are zero coupon 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 or price of the Underlying 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 Underlying, and in certain circumstances this may result in the investor receiving an amount less than their initial investment.
The potential payouts at maturity for Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk are as follows:
Scenario A - Upside Return or Digital Return
If at maturity the level or price of the Underlying is greater than a specified percentage of the initial level or price of the Underlying, an investor will receive either:
"Upside Return", being their initial investment plus a percentage based on the difference between the final level or price of the Underlying, and the initial level or price of the Underlying (as applicable); this additional return may be subject to a cap (i.e. maximum amount) or gearing (i.e. a percentage by which any change in the level or price of the Underlying is multiplied); or
"Digital Return", being their initial investment multiplied by a specified percentage.
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 Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level or price of the 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 Underlying is equal to a specified percentage of the initial level or price of the Underlying (as applicable), an investor will receive its initial investment with no additional return.
Scenario C – Loss of Investment
If at maturity the level or price of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level or price of the Underlying (as applicable) and (only if specified as applicable in the Final Terms) a Trigger Event has occurred, an investor's investment will be reduced by 1% for every 1% fall of the level or price of the Underlying at maturity.
*A "Trigger Event", where specified as applicable in the relevant Final Terms, is the fall in the level or price of the Underlying below a specified percentage of the initial level or price of the Underlying either: (i) at any time during the period specified in the relevant Final Terms or (ii) on a particular date or dates specified in the relevant Final Terms.

	SECTION D - RISKS
D.2	Risks specific to 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:	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.
Loss of investment: 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 Underlying 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 in the performance of the index (the "downside") during a specified period or on a specified date. Accordingly investors will be fully exposed to the downside of the relevant index level 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 the investors may receive a lower Upside Return than they would have done had the Notes not been subject to Gearing. 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, and accordingly the investors may receive a lower Upside Return than they would have done had the Notes not been subject to a Cap. This could result in the investors forgoing returns that could have been made had they invested in a product without a similar cap.
