it operates, particularly the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia.
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 mitigates capital and liquidity risk by careful
management of its balance sheet, through, for example, capital and other fund-
raising activities, disciplined capital allocation, maintaining surplus liquidity
buffers and diversifying its funding sources. The Issuer is required by
regulators in jurisdictions in which it undertakes regulated activities, to
maintain adequate capital and liquidity. 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 may cause exceptional
changes in the Issuer's markets, products and other businesses. Any exceptional
changes, including, for example, substantial reductions in profits and retained
earnings as a result of write-downs or otherwise, delays in the disposal of
certain assets or the ability to access sources of liability, including customer
deposits and wholesale funding, as a result of these circumstances, or
otherwise, 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.
Credit risk exposes the Issuer to losses caused by financial or other
problems experienced by its clients or other third parties
Risks arising from changes in credit quality and the recoverability of loans and
amounts due from counterparties are inherent in a wide range of the Issuer's
businesses. The Issuer is exposed to the risk that third parties that owe it
money, securities or other assets will not perform, or will be unable to perform,
their obligations which could adversely affect the Issuer's results of operations
or financial condition. These parties include clients, governments, trading or
reinsurance counterparties, clearing agents, exchanges, other financial
intermediaries or institutions, as well as issuers whose securities the Issuer
holds, who may default on their obligations to the Issuer due to bankruptcy,
lack of liquidity, operational failure, economic or political conditions or other
reasons. In addition, approximately one third of the Issuer's loan portfolio
comprises lending collateralised by property. There is no individual
concentration risk and there is little lending against speculative property
development. A deterioration in the property markets could affect the quality of
the Issuer's security relating to such loans and could negatively impact on the
level of impairments required to be recorded in the event that a borrower
defaults. The occurrence of such events has led and may lead to future
impairment charges and additional write-downs and losses for the Issuer. In
addition, the information that the Issuer uses to manage its credit risk may be
inaccurate or incomplete, leading to an inability on the part of the Issuer to
manage its credit risk effectively.
D.3 Risks specific
to
the
securities:
Series 119 are Fixed Rate Notes.
ISDA Credit Linkage applies in respect of the Notes.
The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes:
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.
Unsecured Notes: Investors investing in unsecured Notes are advised to
carefully evaluate the Issuer's credit risk when considering an investment in
such Notes. If the Issuer became unable to pay amounts owed to the investor
under the unsecured Notes, such investor does not have recourse to the
underlying or any other security/collateral and, in a worst case scenario,
investors may not receive any payments under the Notes. The Notes are
unsecured obligations. They are not deposits and they are not protected under
the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme or any deposit protection
insurance scheme.
Tax: Noteholders will be liable for and/or subject to any taxes, including
withholding tax, payable in respect of the Notes.

Key risks specific to Credit Linked Notes

Credit Linkage: The Notes are linked to the credit of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (the "Reference Entity") (the "Credit Linked Notes"). If a Reference Entity becomes subject to a CDS Event then the redemption price which would otherwise be payable in respect of the portion of the Note linked to such Reference Entity (the "Relevant Portion") will be reduced in accordance with the Recovery Rate. There is a risk that an investor in the Credit Linked Notes may receive considerably less than the amount paid by such investors. If the Reference Entity becomes subject to a CDS Event an investor's return on the Credit Linked Notes will be zero.

Zero Recovery Rate in Credit Linked Notes - ISDA Credit Linkage: The redemption price payable on the Notes following the occurrence of a CDS Event in respect of the Reference Entity will be zero.

Issuer solvency: The redemption of the Notes is dependent on the Issuer's ability to meet such payment.
