B.15	Issuer's The Principal Activities:	The principal business of the Issuer consists of 'Wealth & Investment and Specialist Banking'. Investec is an international specialist bank and asset manager that provides a diverse range of financial products and services to a niche client base in two principal markets, the United Kingdom and South Africa as well as certain other countries. As part of its business, the Issuer provides investment management services to private clients, charities, intermediaries, pension schemes and trusts as well as specialist banking services focusing on corporate advisory and investment activities, corporate and institutional banking activities and private banking activities.
B.16	Controlling Persons:	The whole of the issued ordinary and preference share capital of the Issuer is owned directly by Investec plc. The Issuer is not indirectly controlled.
B.17	Credit Ratings:	The long-term senior debt of the Issuer has a rating of BBB- as rated by Fitch. This means that Fitch is of the opinion that the Issuer has a good credit quality and indicates that expectations of default risk are currently low. The long-term senior debt of the Issuer has a rating of Baa3 as rated by Moody's. This means that Moody's is of the opinion that the Issuer is subject to moderate credit risk, is considered medium-grade, and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. 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.

		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 an index.

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 percentage change in the final value of the relevant Preference Share or Preference Shares compared to its or their issue price is then used to calculate the value and return on the Notes.
		As a result, the potential effect of the performance of the Underlying on the return on the Notes means that investors may lose some or all of their investment.

		*Provided that if the Automatic Early Redemption Valuation Date is not a Scheduled Trading Day, the immediately preceding Scheduled Trading Day shall be the Automatic Early Redemption Valuation Date.
		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 and the likelihood of the occurrence of a credit event in relation to Bank of Ireland (the "Reference Entity").
		If the Reference Entity becomes subject to a Credit Event, the value of the portion of the Notes linked to the relevant Reference Entity (the "Relevant Portion") will be linked to a recovery rate (the "Recovery Rate") determined by reference to an auction coordinated by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") in respect of certain unsubordinated debt obligations of the Reference Entity or, in certain circumstances, including if such an auction is not held, a market price as determined by Investec Bank plc in its capacity as preference share calculation agent (the "Preference Share Calculation Agent").

			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.
			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 an 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.

		Credit Linked: The Notes are linked Preference Shares which are linked to the solvency of Bank of Ireland (the "Reference Entity"). If a Reference Entity becomes insolvent, defaults on its payment obligations or is the subject of a governmental intervention (where relevant) or a restructuring of its debt obligations then the redemption price which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Relevant Portion will be reduced. The redemption price payable in respect of the insolvency of the Reference Entity will be determined by reference to an auction coordinated by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") in respect of certain unsubordinated debt obligations of the Reference Entity or, in certain circumstances, including if such an auction is not held, a market price as determined by Investec Bank plc in its capacity as preference share calculation agent (the "Preference Share Calculation Agent"). Details regarding ISDA auctions can be obtained as of the date hereof on ISDA's website, which is currently www.isda.org.
C.19	Exercise price final or reference price of the underlying:	The performance of an underlying asset (being an index, share, basket of shares, basket of indices or worst performing index or share in a basket of indices or shares). The "Underlying" for the Notes is an index, determines the redemption price of a class of preference share (the "Preference Share"), such redemption price being used to calculate the final value of such Preference Shares on a one for one basis. The percentage change in the final value of the Preference Share compared to its issue price is then used to calculate the return on the Notes.
		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.
		The determination of the performance of the Underlying will be carried out by the Preference Share Calculation Agent, being Investec Bank plc.
		The Preference Shares Calculation Agent will compare an initial level of the Underlying with a final level of the Underlying.
		The initial level of the Underlying will be the closing level on the Issue Date.
		The final level of the Underlying will be the arithmetic average of the official closing level on each scheduled trading day in the period from and including a final averaging start date to and including the final averaging end date.
		The level of the Underlying used to determine whether or not an automatic early redemption is applicable will be the closing level as at the valuation time on each automatic early redemption date.
		The determination of the recovery rate on insolvency relating to the Reference Entity will be carried out by the Preference Share Calculation Agent.
		The determination of the redemption amount of the Notes will be carried out by the Calculation Agent, being Investec Bank plc.

	SECTION D - RISKS
D.2	Risks specific to the issuer:	The following are the key risks applicable 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 the to 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 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.
Key risks specific to secured Notes
Security may not be sufficient to meet all payments: Any net proceeds realised upon enforcement of any security granted by the Issuer over a pool of collateral ("Collateral Pool") will be applied in or towards satisfaction of the claims of, among others, the security trustee and any appointee and/or receiver appointed by the trustee in respect of the Notes before the claims of the holders of the relevant secured Notes. Since the net enforcement proceeds may not be sufficient to meet all payments in respect of the secured Notes, investors may suffer a loss on their investment.
Collateral Pool may secure more than one series of secured Notes: A Collateral Pool may secure the Issuer's obligations with respect to more than one series of Secured Notes and an event of default under the Notes with respect to any one series of Secured Notes secured by such Collateral Pool may trigger the early redemption of all other series that are secured by the same Collateral Pool in order for the security over the entire Collateral Pool to be enforced. Such cross-default may, among other things, result in losses being incurred by holders of the Secured Notes which would not otherwise have arisen.
Substitution of Posted Collateral: Collateral posted as security for the Issuer's obligations under the Notes may, at the Issuer's request, be substituted for other items of new collateral, provided that on the date of transfer the bid price of the new collateral is equal to or exceeds the bid price of the original collateral. Any such substitution request is subject to (a) verification by the entity appointed as the verification agent that the new item of collateral is eligible collateral; and (b) approval by the Trustee.

However, neither the verification agent nor the Trustee is obliged to confirm that the bid price of the new item of collateral is equal to or exceeds the bid price of the original item of posted collateral. Following any such substitution, the market value of the new item of collateral may fall below the value of the original item of posted collateral, and the net proceeds realised upon enforcement of the relevant Collateral Pool may therefore be less than if no such substitution had been made.
Key risks related to Credit Linked Notes
Credit Linkage: The Notes (or a portion thereof) are linked to a Preference Share which is linked to the credit of Bank of Ireland (the "Reference Entity") and are not capital protected ("Credit Linked Notes"). If a Reference Entity becomes subject to a "Credit Event" (broadly speaking if it becomes insolvent, defaults on its payment obligations or is the subject of governmental intervention (where relevant) or a restructuring of its debt obligations), then the redemption price which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Relevant Portion will be reduced in accordance with the Recovery Rate (as defined below). In addition to being exposed to the risk of insolvency of the Issuer, investors in Credit Linked Notes will also be exposed to the risk of a Credit Event of the specified Reference Entity or Reference Entities. There is a risk that an investor in a Note that is Credit Linked may receive considerably less than the amount paid by such investor, regardless of any positive performance in the Underlying. If all of the Reference Entities become subject to a Credit Event, an investor's return on the Notes may be zero. As in the case of other Notes, Credit Linked Notes are not capital protected and investors may lose all or a substantial portion of their initial investment.
Recovery Rate in Credit Linked Notes - General Recovery Rate: The redemption price payable on the Relevant Portion of the Notes following the occurrence of a Credit Event in respect of a Reference Entity will be determined by reference to the recovery rate for such Reference Entity, determined by reference to an auction coordinated by ISDA in respect of certain obligations of the Reference Entity or, in certain circumstances, including if such an auction is not held, a market price as determined by the Preference Share Calculation Agent (the "Recovery Rate"). There is a risk that the return payable to an investor in a Credit Linked Note may be different from the return that investors would have received had they been holding a particular debt instrument issued by the Reference Entity.
Postponement in payment of Final Redemption Amount - Credit Linked Notes: Each Note will be settled on its scheduled maturity date except that, if the Recovery Rate cannot be determined by the Preference Share Calculation Agent by the scheduled maturity date, payment of the Final Redemption Amount in respect of the Relevant Portion of such Note may be delayed and may fall after the Note's scheduled maturity date. Payment of the Final Redemption Amount may be delayed by up to 60 calendar days plus eight business days.
