Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer of the Notes may only do so:

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.

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

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 226 are Phoenix 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: Reverse Convertible Notes with Capital at Risk are not
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 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.
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.

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 index 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 Underlying is less than a specified level, investors may lose their right to return of all their principal 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 Underlying, in which case investors 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.

Interest linked to Underlying: The return interest payable on Phoenix Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk, Range Accrual Notes (Income) with Capital at Risk, Range Accrual Notes (Income) without Capital at Risk, N Barrier Notes (Income) with Capital at Risk, Inflation Linked Notes without Capital at Risk, Inflation (Interest only) Linked Notes without Capital at Risk and Inflation Linked Notes with Capital at Risk will be dependent on the level of the Underlying during the applicable interest period or at the end of the interest period. Noteholders will be exposed to the risk of a prolonged increase or decline in, or volatility of, the relevant Underlying that causes a negative performance in the Underlying, or causes the level of the Underlying to fall outside of the specified range or below the specified level, and this could result in a decrease in the interest payments on the Notes or no interest being payable in relation to the Notes.

Tax: Noteholders will be liable for and/or subject to any taxes, including withholding tax, payable in respect of the Notes.
