||
| A.2 | Consent: | Not Applicable. The Issuer does not consent to the use of this Base Prospectus in circumstances where there is no exemption from the obligation under the Prospectus Directive to publish a prospectus as the Notes will not be publicly offered. |

The Collateral Pool secures more than one Series of Secured Notes. |
|
| Credit Linkage: The Notes are linked to the credit of one or more financial institutions or corporations listed on a regulated exchange or a sovereign entity or |
| any Successor(s) (the "Reference Entity") (the Notes are "Credit Linked Notes" and such proportion of the Notes which is Credit Linked is the "Credit Linked Portion").

| C.9 | Rights The Attaching to the Securities (Continued), Including Information as Interest, to: Maturity, Yield the and Representative of the Holders: |
Redemption of the Notes: The Notes cannot be redeemed prior to their stated maturity (other than in specified instalments, or as set out below, or upon the occurrence of an automatic early termination event, if applicable, or for taxation reasons or an event of default or, in the case of Notes linked to one or more Reference Entities, if any such Reference Entity becomes subject to a CDS event (broadly speaking, becomes insolvent, fails to pay amounts due on obligations or is subject to a restructuring of debt obligations in a manner that is detrimental to creditors) (a "CDS Event"). The Notes will also be redeemable at the option of the Issuer in whole (but not in part) upon giving notice to the Noteholders on a date or dates specified prior to such stated maturity and at a price or prices and on such other terms as may be agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer. Interest: The Notes are interest-bearing. For the period from and including the Issue Date, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date falling in March 2020, the Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate (as further described below). For the period from and including the Interest Payment Date falling in March 2020 to but excluding the Maturity Date, the Notes will bear interest at a floating rate (as further described below). |
| Fixed Rate Notes: Fixed Rate Notes bear interest at a fixed percentage rate, being the "Rate of Interest" expressed as a percentage rate per annum. For the period from and including the Issue Date, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date falling in March 2020, the Rate of Interest in respect of Series 72S is 4.20 per cent. per annum payable quarterly in arrear. In order to calculate the amount of interest or "Interest Amount" payable per Note, the Calculation Agent applies the Rate of Interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (or a specified calculation amount (the "Calculation Amount")) for the period from and including the previous Interest Payment Date to but excluding the 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) (each such period an "Interest Period") and multiplies the product by a fraction known as a "Day Count Fraction". The Day Count Fraction reflects the number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated. The Issuer may specify this interest as "Fixed Coupon Amounts" in the Final Terms. If interest needs to be calculated for a period other than an Interest Period due to an unscheduled redemption of the Notes or the occurrence of a "kick out", the provisions above shall apply save that the period reflected by the Day Count |
| Fraction shall be the period from the previous Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date, as applicable) to but excluding the relevant date of redemption. |
||
|---|---|---|
| The Interest Amount is due and payable in arrear on the relevant Interest Payment Date. |
||
| Floating Rate Notes: | ||
| Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a floating rate, being the "Rate of Interest", which is a variable percentage rate per annum, namely 3-month LIBOR plus 2.50 per cent. per annum. For the period from and including March 2020, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date falling in December 2025, the Rate of Interest in respect of Series 72S will be equal to 3-month LIBOR plus 2.50 per cent. per annum, payable quarterly in arrear. |
||
| In order to calculate the amount of interest or "Interest Amount" payable per Note, the Calculation Agent applies the Rate of Interest to the outstanding principal amount of the Notes (or a specified calculation amount (the "Calculation Amount")) for the period from and including the previous Interest Payment Date to but excluding the 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) (each such period an "Interest Period") and multiplies the product by a fraction known as a "Day Count Fraction". The Day Count Fraction reflects the number of days in the period for which interest is being calculated. |
||
| If interest needs to be calculated for a period other than an Interest Period due to an unscheduled redemption of the Notes or the occurrence of a "kick out", the provisions above shall apply save that the period reflected by the Day Count Fraction shall be the period from the previous Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date, as applicable) to but excluding the relevant date of redemption. |
||
| The Interest Amount is due and payable in arrear on the relevant Interest Payment Date. |

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: | ||
| Market risks, business and general macro-economic conditions and fluctuations as well as volatility in the global financial markets could adversely affect the Issuer's business in many ways. |
||
| The Issuer is subject to risks arising from general macro-economic conditions in the countries in which it operates, including in particular the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia, as well as global economic conditions. |
||
| The Issuer is subject to risks concerning customer and counterparty credit quality. |
||
| Credit and counterparty risk is defined as the risk arising from an obligor's (typically a client's or counterparty's) failure to meet the terms of any agreement. Credit and counterparty risk arises when funds are extended, committed, invested, or otherwise exposed through contractual agreements, whether reflected on- or off- balance sheet. |
||
| The Issuer's credit risk arises primarily in relation to its Specialist Banking business, through which it offers products such as private client mortgages and specialised lending to high income professionals and high net worth individuals and a range of lending products to corporate clients, including corporate loans, asset based lending, fund finance, asset finance, acquisition finance, power and infrastructure finance, resource finance and corporate debt securities. Within its Wealth & Investment business, the Issuer is subject to relatively limited settlement risk which can arise due to undertaking transactions in an agency capacity on behalf of clients. |
||
| In accordance with policies overseen by its Central Credit Management department, the Issuer makes provision for specific impairments and calculates the appropriate level of portfolio impairments in relation to the credit and counterparty risk to which it is subject. |
||
| Increased credit and counterparty risk could have a material adverse impact on the Issuer's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. |
||
| The Issuer is subject to liquidity risk, which may impair its ability to fund its operations. |
||
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Issuer has insufficient capacity to fund increases in its assets, or that it is unable to meet its payment obligations as they fall due, without incurring unacceptable losses. This includes repaying depositors and repayments of wholesale debt. This risk is inherent in all banking operations and can be impacted by a range of institution-specific and market-wide events. |
||
| The Issuer may have insufficient capital in the future and may be unable to secure additional financing when it is required. |
||
| The prudential regulatory capital and liquidity requirements applicable to banks have increased significantly over the last decade, largely in response to the financial crisis that commenced in 2008 but also as a result of continuing work undertaken by regulatory bodies in the financial sector subject to certain global and national mandates. These prudential requirements are likely to increase further in the short term, not least in connection with ongoing implementation issues, and it is possible that further regulatory changes may be implemented in this area in any |
| event. | ||
|---|---|---|
| If the Issuer fails to meet its minimum regulatory capital or liquidity requirements, it may be subject to administrative actions or sanctions. In addition, a shortage of capital or liquidity could affect the Issuer's ability to pay liabilities as they fall due, pay future dividends and distributions, and could affect the implementation of its business strategy, impacting future growth potential. |
||
| D.3 | Risks specific the to securities: |
Series 72S are Fixed to Floating Rate Notes. ISDA Credit Linkage applies in respect of the Notes. |
| The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes: | ||
| Investment Products: The Notes 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 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 However, neither is Eligible Collateral; and (b) approval by the Trustee. 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 Telereal Securitisation PLC (the "Reference Entity") (the "Credit Linked Notes"). If the 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 investor. If the Reference Entity becomes subject to a CDS Event an investor's return on the Credit Linked Notes may be zero. |
|---|
| Cessation of accrual of Interest - ISDA Credit Linkage: Interest on the Relevant Portion of the Notes shall cease to accrue from (but excluding) the Interest Accrual Cessation Date, being the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Event Determination Date or, in the case of a Event Determination Date occurring during the first Interest Period, the Interest Commencement Date occurred. Cessation of accrual of interest means an investor in these Notes may receive a lower return. |
| Specific Recovery Rate in Credit Linked Notes – ISDA Credit Linkage: The redemption price payable on the Relevant Portion of the Notes following the occurrence of a CDS Event in respect of the Reference Entity will be determined by reference to the market value of specific reference obligation(s) of the Reference Entity ("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 that debt instrument or another debt instrument issued by the specified Reference Entity. |
| 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. |
