Invested Bank plc Issue of GBP Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk under the £2,000,000,000 Impala Bonds Programme

The Base Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis that, except as provided in sub-paragraph (ii) below, any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member" State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer of the Notes may only do so:

• $(i)$ in circumstances in which no obligation arises for the Issuer or any Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer; or
• $(ii)$ in those Public Offer Jurisdictions mentioned in paragraph 8 of Part B below, provided such person is one of the persons mentioned in paragraph 8 of Part B below and that such offer is made during the Offer Period specified for such purpose therein.

Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in any other circumstances. The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended by Directive 2008/11/EC, Directive 2010/73/EU and Directive 2008/78/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measures in the Relevant Member State.

Prospective investors considering acquiring any Notes should understand the risks of transactions involving the Notes and should reach an investment decision only after carefully considering the suitability of the Notes in light of their particular circumstances (including without limitation their own financial circumstances and investment objectives and the impact the Notes will have on their overall investment portfolio) and the information contained in this Base Prospectus and the applicable Final Terms. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out under "Risk Factors" in the Base Prospectus referred to below.

		The calculations which are required to be made to calculate the amounts payable in relation to each type of Note will be based on the level of the Underlying at certain specified times.
		Capital at Risk
		The Notes have capital at risk.
		Kick Out Notes
		The Notes may mature early (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.

		Scenario $B$ – Return of Initial Investment
		If at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level, an investor will receive its initial investment with no additional return, provided that the Barrier Condition is satisfied.
		Scenario C - Loss of Investment
		If at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than a specified percentage of the initial level of 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 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").

		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 203S are Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk, the return on which are linked to the Underlying.
		The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes:
		Capital at Risk: Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk 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 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 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.
		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 or only a portion of the capital may be 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 or all of the portion of the principal that is not protected 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 or price of the Underlying, in which case investors would be fully exposed (or, in the case of a Note where only a portion of the capital is protected, the portion of capital not protected would be fully exposed) to any downside of 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.

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 Secured 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 collateral "Eligible Collateral" provided that on the date of transfer the value of the new collateral is equal to or exceeds the value of the original collateral. Any such substitution request is subject to (a) verification by the entity appointed as the verification agent (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 value of the new item of Eligible Collateral is equal to or exceeds the value of the original item of posted collateral. Following any such substitution, the market value of the new item of Eligible 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 specific to Credit Linked Notes

Credit Linkage: The Notes are linked to the credit of Aviva plc, Barclays Bank plc, Prudential plc, Standard Chartered plc and Lloyds Bank plc (the "Reference Entities") (the "Credit Linked Notes"). If a Reference Entity becomes subject to a Credit 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 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 Credit Linked Notes may be zero.

Postponement in payment of Final Redemption Amount - Simplified Credit Linkage: Each Note will be settled on its scheduled maturity date except that, if the Recovery Rate cannot be determined by the Calculation Agent by the scheduled maturity date, payment of the Final Redemption Amount in respect 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 five business days.
General Recovery Rate in Credit Linked Notes - Simplified Credit Linkage: The redemption price payable on the Relevant Portion of the Notes following the occurrence of a Credit Event in respect of such Reference Entity will be determined by reference to an auction coordinated by ISDA in respect of certain obligations of the relevant Reference Entity or, in certain circumstances, including if such an auction is not held, a market price as determined by the Calculation Agent (the "Recovery Rate"). There is a risk that the return payable to an investor in a Credit Linked Notes may be different from the return that investors would have received had they been holding a particular debt instrument issued by the Reference Entity.

	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.
