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 an index (the "Underlying" as further described in C.15 (Effect of value of underlying instruments).
		Redemption of the Notes: The Notes cannot be redeemed prior to their stated maturity date (other than for taxation reasons, on account of certain events affecting the Preference Shares or following an event of default.
		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 GBP 1.00.
		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 this 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 (for the purposes of EU Directive 2004/39/EC (the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive)) (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 on or around 23 November 2015.
C.15	Effect of value of underlying instruments:	The performance of the Underlying will determine 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 under the laws of 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.
		For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes are not backed by or secured on the Preference Shares and accordingly, only a nominal amount of the Preference Shares may be issued by Zebra Capital II Limited regardless of the principal amount of the applicable issuance of Notes by the Issuer.
		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, the Notes (including the return on the Notes) are described as being linked to the Underlying.
		The return on the Notes is linked to the performance of an underlying instrument (being the FTSE™100 Index) (the "Underlying"). The value of the Underlying is used to calculate the redemption price of the Notes and accordingly affects the return (if any) on the Notes.
		Kick Out Notes
		If the arithmetic average of the performance of the Underlying during the averaging period (the "Automatic Early Redemption Averaging Period") specified below, is greater than the level specified (the "Automatic Early Redemption Level"), the Notes will be redeemed at the relevant amount specified below (the "Automatic Early Redemption Amount") on the applicable date prior to maturity (the "Automatic Early Redemption Date"):

		Redemption provisions in respect of 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 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-Digital Return
		If at maturity the level of the Underlying is greater than a specified percentage of the initials level of the Underlying, an investor will receive a "Digital Return" being their initial investment multiplied by a specified percentage return.
		Scenario B - No Return
		If at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level of the Underlying, an investor will receive their initial investment with no additional return, provided that a "Trigger" Event"* has not occurred.
		Scenario C - Loss of Investment
		If at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level of the Underlying and a Trigger Event has occurred an investor's investment will be reduced by 1% for every 1% fall of the level of the Underlying at maturity.
		*A "Trigger Event", where specified as applicable in the relevant Final Terms, is the fall in the level of the Underlying below a specified percentage of the initial level 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.
C.19	Exercise price final or reference price of the underlying:	The performance of the Underlying will determine the redemption price of 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 compared to its issue price is then used to calculate the return on the Notes.

SECTION D - RISKS
D.2	Risks specific In relation to Public Offers of the Notes, the Notes are designed for to the issuer: investors who are or have access to a suitably qualified independent financial adviser or who have engaged a suitably qualified discretionary investment manager, in order to understand the characteristics and risks associated with structured financial products.
		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
		The performance of the Issuer may be influenced by the economic conditions of the countries in which 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.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.
		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.
		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 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.
		Return linked to performance of the relevant Underlying: The return on the Notes is calculated by reference to the performance of 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.
		Downside risk: Since the Notes are not capital protected, if at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified level, investors may lose their right to return of all their principal at maturity and may suffer a reduction of their capital in proportion (or a proportion multiplied by a leverage factor) with the decline of the level of the Underlying, in which case investors would be fully exposed to any downside of the Underlying during such specified period.
