The Notes of each tranche of the same series will all be subject to identical terms, except for the issue dates and/or issue prices of the respective Tranches.
		The Notes are issued as Series number 186, Tranche number 1.
		Form of Notes: The applicable Final Terms will specify whether the relevant Notes will be issued in bearer form ("Bearer Notes"), in certificated registered form ("Registered Notes") or in uncertificated registered form ("Uncertificated Registered Notes"). Registered Notes and Uncertificated Registered Notes will not be exchangeable for other forms of Notes and vice versa.
		The Notes are issued in bearer form.
		Security Identification Number(s): The following security identification number(s) will be specified in the Final Terms.
		ISIN Code: XS1405997948
		Common Code: 140599794
		Sedol: Not Applicable
C.2	Currency of the Securities Issue:	Currency: Subject to any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, the Notes may be issued in any currency (the "Specified Currency").
		The Specified Currency of the Notes is GBP.
C.5	Free Transferability:	The Notes are freely transferable. However, applicable securities laws in certain jurisdictions impose restrictions on the offer and sale of the Notes and accordingly the Issuer and the dealers have agreed restrictions on the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes in the United States, the European Economic Area, Isle of Man, South Africa, Switzerland, Guernsey and Jersey, and such other restrictions as may be required in connection with the offering and sale of a particular Tranche of Notes in order to comply with relevant securities laws.
C.8	The Rights Attaching to the Securities, including Ranking and Limitations to those Rights:	Status: The Notes are unsecured. The Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated unsecured obligations of the Issuer that will rank pari passu among themselves and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer from time to time outstanding.
		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.
		Denomination: The Notes will be issued in denominations of GBP1,000.
		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.
		Governing Law: English law
C.9	The Rights Attaching to the Securities (Continued),	Redemption of the Notes: The Notes cannot be redeemed prior to their stated maturity (other than in specified instalments, if applicable, or for taxation reasons or an event of default).
	Including Information as to Interest, Maturity, Yield	Interest: Series 186 are Reverse Convertible Notes with Capital at Risk which will pay a fixed rate of interest, regardless of the performance of the Underlying. The interest is payable periodically throughout the life of the Notes.
	and the Representative of the Holders:	The Rate of Interest in respect of Series 186 is 4.80 per cent. per annum, payable quarterly in arrear.
		The interest will be paid on the "Interest Payment Dates". The amount of interest or "Interest Amount" payable on each such Interest Payment Date is calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the period from the previous Interest Payment Date until current Interest Payment Date (or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, from the date which is specified as being the "Interest Commencement Date" until the first Interest Payment Date), and each period is referred to as an "Interest Period". The Issuer may specify this interest as "Fixed Coupon Amounts" in the Final Terms.
		Payments of Principal: Payments of Principal in respect of Notes will be calculated by reference to a basket of indices (the "Underlying") as further described in C.15 ( Effect of the value of the underlying instruments ).
		Deutsche Trustee Company Limited (the "Trustee") has entered into a trust deed with the Issuer in connection with the programme, under which it has agreed to act as trustee for the Noteholders.

		Capital at Risk

		The Notes have capital at risk.
		Reverse Convertible Notes with Capital at Risk: The Notes are Index Linked Notes.
		These Notes will pay a fixed rate of interest, regardless of the performance of the Underlying. The interest will be payable periodically throughout the life of the Notes.
		The return on the Notes at maturity will be based on the performance of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying and, since the Notes are not capital protected, in certain circumstances, this may result in the investor receiving an amount less than their initial investment.
		Scenario $A$ – Return of Initial Investment
		At maturity:
		if the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the $\bullet$ Underlying is greater than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level of such Underlying; or
		the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the ۰ Underlying is less than a specified percentage of the initial level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying but the "Barrier Condition"* is satisfied,
		an investor will receive back their initial investment with no additional return.
		Scenario $B - Loss$ of Investment
		If at maturity the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying is less than a specified percentage of the initial level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying and the "Barrier Condition" is not satisfied, an investor's investment will be reduced by an amount linked to the decline in performance of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying (the "downside"); this downside performance may be subject to gearing (i.e. a percentage by which any change in the level of the Underlying is multiplied) ("Downside Return 1").
		*The "Barrier Condition" is satisfied where the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying has not fallen below a specified percentage of the initial level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising 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 or final reference price of the underlying:	The determination of the performance of each of the indices in the basket comprising the Underlying will be carried out by the Calculation Agent, being Investec Bank plc as at the Valuation Time.
		The initial level of each of the indices comprising the basket will be the closing level on the issue date.
		The final level of the indices comprising the basket will be the closing level as at the Valuation Time on the final redemption valuation date.

		The determination of the redemption amount of the Notes will be carried out by the Calculation Agent, being Invested Bank plc.
C.20	Type of the underlying:	The Underlying relating to the Notes is a basket of indices, details of which are set out in the following table, including information about where further information can be obtained about the past and further performance of the Underlying.

	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 186 are Reverse Convertible Notes with Capital at Risk, the return on which are linked to the worst performing of the indices in the basket comprising the Underlying.
		The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes:
		Capital at Risk: Reverse Convertible Notes may not be capital protected.
		The value of the Notes issuable under the Programme prior to maturity depends on a number of factors including the performance of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying. A deterioration in the performance of the Underlying may result in a total or partial loss of the investor's investment in the Notes.
		As such Notes are not capital protected, there is no guarantee that the return on such 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. As a result of the performance of the relevant Underlying, an investor may lose 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 Notes which are not capital protected 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 Underlying: The return on the Notes is calculated by reference to the performance of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying. Poor performance of the indices comprising the 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 worst performing index in the basket comprising 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 worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying, in which case investors would be fully exposed to any downside of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying during such specified period.
Leverage factor: Depending on the formulae for calculating the return on the Notes specified in the Final Terms, the Notes may have a leveraged exposure to the Underlying, in that the exposure of each Note to the Underlying may be less than the nominal amount of the Note. Positive leveraged exposure results in the effect of small price movements being magnified and may lead to proportionally greater losses in the value of and return on the Notes as compared to an unleveraged exposure.
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:	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 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, or Valuation Agent its duties as agent (in the interest of holders of the Notes) may conflict with the interest as issuer of the Notes.
E.7	Estimated Expenses:	Not applicable. Expenses in respect of the offer or listing of the Notes are not charged by the Issuer or Dealers to the Investor.
