In this case, a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of "Not Applicable".

Where a claim relating to the information contained in this Base Prospectus is
brought before a court in a Member State of the European Economic Area, the
claimant may, under the national legislation of the Member State, be required to
bear the costs of translating the Base Prospectus before the legal proceedings are
initiated.
Civil liability attaches only to those persons who have tabled the summary
including any translation thereof, but only if the summary is misleading, inaccurate
or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of this Base Prospectus or it
does not provide, when read together with the other parts of this Base Prospectus,
key information in order to aid Investors when considering whether to invest in the
Notes.
A.2 Consent: Not Applicable. The Issuer does not consent to the use of this Base Prospectus in

Legal
commercial
name of the
Issuer:
The legal name of the issuer is Invested Bank plc (the "Issuer").
B.2 Domicile and
legal form of

registration number 00489604. The liability of its members is limited.
The Issuer was incorporated as a private limited company with limited liability on
20 December 1950 under the Companies Act 1948 and registered in England and
Wales under registered number 00489604 with the name Edward Bates & Sons
Limited. Since then it has undergone changes of name, eventually re-registering
under the Companies Act 1985 on 23 January 2009 as a public limited company and
is now incorporated under the name Investec Bank plc.
The Issuer is subject to primary and secondary legislation relating to financial
services and banking regulation in the United Kingdom, including, inter alia, the
Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, for the purposes of which the Issuer is an
authorised person carrying on the business of financial services provision. In
addition, as a public limited company, the Issuer is subject to the UK Companies
Act 2006.
B.4b Trends: The Issuer, in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2016, reported an increase of 44.6% in operating profit before goodwill and
acquired intangibles and after non-controlling interests to £146.3 million (2015:
£101.2 million). The balance sheet remains strong, supported by sound capital and
liquidity ratios. At 31 March 2016, the Issuer had £5.0 billion of cash and near cash
to support its activities, representing 45.7% of its customer deposits. Customer
deposits have increased by 4.3% since 31 March 2015 to £11.0 billion at 31 March

by 2022). These disclosures incorporate the deduction of foreseeable dividends as
required by the CRR and European Banking Authority technical standards.
Excluding this deduction, the ratio would be 0.3% higher. The credit loss charge as
a percentage of average gross core loans and advances has decreased from 1.16% at

equity decreasing to 9.9 times at 31 March 2016.

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.
Payments of Principal: Payments of principal in respect of Notes are credit linked
to a specified Reference Entity, namely Telereal Securitisation PLC.
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.

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.
