	Section D - Risks
D.2	Risks specific to the issuer:	In relation to Public Offers of the Notes, the Notes are designed for 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.3	Risks specific to the securities:	Series 143 are Kick Out Notes without Capital at Risk, the return on which are linked to the Underlying.
		The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes:
		Unsecured Notes: Investors investing in unsecured Notes (including unsecured Notes which are specified in the applicable Final Terms as Notes "without Capital at Risk") 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 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.
		Tax: Noteholders will be liable for and/or subject to any taxes, including withholding tax, payable in respect of the Notes.

		Section E - Offer
E.2b	Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds:	The net proceeds from each issue of Notes will, unless specified in the applicable Final Terms, be used by the Issuer for general corporate purposes, which includes making a profit and/or hedging certain risks. If, in respect of any particular issue of Notes which are derivative securities for the purpose of Article 15 of the Commission Regulation No 809/2004 implementing the Prospectus Directive, there is another particular identified use of proceeds (other than making profit, hedging certain risks and/or general corporate purposes), this will be stated in the applicable Final Terms. Not Applicable. The use of proceeds is to make a profit and/or hedge risks.
E.3	Terms and Conditions of the Offer:	Not Applicable.
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.
