SUMMARY

Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements". These elements are numbered in Sections $A - E(A.I - E.7)$ .

This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a summary for this type of securities and issuer. Because some Elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements.

Even though an Element may be required to be inserted in the summary because of the type of securities and issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case, a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of "Not Applicable".

SECTION A - INTRODUCTION AND WARNINGS
A.1 Introduction: This summary should be read as an introduction to this Base Prospectus
and any decision to invest in the Notes should be based on a
consideration of this Base Prospectus as a whole by the investor.
Where a claim relating to the information contained in this Base
Prospectus is brought before a court, the plaintiff investor might, under
the national legislation of the Member State, have 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 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.
SECTION B-ISSUER
B.1 Legal and
commercial
name of the
Issuer:
The legal name of the issuer is Invested Bank plc (the "Issuer").
B.2 Domicile and
legal form of
the Issuer:
The Issuer is a public limited company registered in England and Wales
under 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 2016. The Issuer's loan to deposit ratio was 70.5% as at 31
March 2016 (2015: 66.5%). At 31 March 2016, the Issuer's total capital
adequacy ratio was 17.0% and its tier 1 ratio was 11.9%. The Issuer's
anticipated 'fully loaded' common equity tier 1 ratio and leverage ratio
are 11.9% and 7.5%, respectively (where 'fully loaded' is based on
Capital Requirements Regulation ("CRR") requirements as fully
phased in 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 31 March 2015 to
1.13%. The Issuer's gearing ratio remains low with total assets to equity
decreasing to 9.9 times at 31 March 2016.
B.5 The group: The Issuer is the main banking subsidiary of Investec plc, which is part
of an international banking group with operations in three principal
markets: the United Kingdom and Europe, Asia/Australia and South
Africa. The Issuer also holds certain of the Investec group's UK and
Australia based assets and businesses.

Fitch. This means that Fitch's expectation of default risk is currently
low and Fitch is of the opinion that the Issuer's capacity for payment of
financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or
economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.
The long-term senior debt of the Issuer has a rating of A2 as rated by
Moody's. This means that Moody's is of the opinion that the Issuer is
considered upper-medium-grade and is subject to low credit risk.
The long-term senior debt of the Issuer has a rating of BBB+ as rated

opinion that the Issuer has adequate protection factors and is considered
sufficient for prudent investment. However, there is considerable
variability in risk during economic cycles).

SECTION C - SECURITIES
C.1 Description of
Type and Class
of Securities:
Issuance in series: The Notes will be issued in series ("Series") which
may comprise one or more tranches ("Tranches") issued on different
issue dates. 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 ZCP2016-62, 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 (such Notes being recorded on a register as being held
in uncertificated book-entry 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 certificated registered form.

identification number(s) will be specified in the Final Terms.

ISIN Code:

Common Code:

SEDOL:
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 Pounds Sterling ("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
Status: The Notes are unsecured. The Notes will constitute direct,
unconditional, unsubordinated 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.
those Rights: 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.
Payments of Principal: Payments of principal in respect of Notes will
in all cases be calculated by reference to the percentage change in value
of one or more preference shares issued by Zebra Capital II Limited
("Preference Shares") in respect of the relevant series of Notes. The
terms of each class of Preference Shares will be contained in the
Memorandum and Articles of Association of Zebra Capital II Limited
and the Preference Share confirmation relating to such class.
The redemption price of each class of Preference Shares will be
calculated by reference to an index (the "Underlying"), as further
described in C.15 (Effect of value of underlying instruments).
Redemption of the Notes: The Notes cannot be redeemed prior to their
stated maturity date (other than for taxation reasons, on the occurrence
of a kick-out event or on account of certain events affecting the
Preference Shares or following an event of default).
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.
Denomination: The Notes will be issued in denominations of
GBP100,000 and integral multiples of GBP1,000 in excess thereof up
to and including GBP199,000.
Governing Law: English law
C.11 Listing and
Trading:
This document has been approved by the FCA as a base prospectus in
compliance with the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing
measures in the United Kingdom for the purpose of giving information
with regard to the Notes issued under the Programme described in this
Base Prospectus during the period of twelve months after the date
hereof. Application has also been made for the Notes to be admitted
during the twelve months after the date hereof to listing on the Official
List of the FCA and to trading on the regulated market (for the purposes
of EU Directive 2004/39/EC (the Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive)) (the "Regulated Market") of the London Stock Exchange
plc (the "London Stock Exchange").
Application will be made for the Notes to be admitted to listing on the
Official List of the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange
effective on or around the Issue Date.
$\overline{C.15}$ Effect of value
of underlying
instruments:
The performance of the Underlying will determine the redemption price
and final value (on a one for one basis) of a class of preference share
issued by Zebra Capital II Limited (the "Preference Share"), an
exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands
which is independent of the Issuer and whose business consists of the
issuance of Preference Shares in connection with the Programme.
The percentage change in the final value of the relevant Preference
Share or Preference Shares compared to its or their issue price is then
used to calculate the value and return on the Notes.
As a result, the potential effect of the performance of the
Underlying on the return on the Notes means that investors may
lose some or all of their investment.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes are not backed by or secured on
the Preference Shares and accordingly, only a nominal amount of the
Preference Shares may be issued by Zebra Capital II Limited regardless
of the principal amount of the applicable issuance of Notes by the
Issuer.
In this section, for ease of explanation rather than refer to the Notes
being linked to the value of the Preference Share which is in turn linked
to the Underlying, the Notes (including the return on the Notes) are
described as being linked to the Underlying.
The return on the Notes is linked to the performance of an underlying
instrument (being the FTSETM 100 Index) (the "Underlying"). The
value of the Underlying is used to calculate the redemption price of the
Notes and accordingly affects the return (if any) on the Notes.
Kick Out Notes

Underlying. The market price or value of the Notes at any times is expected to be
affected by changes in the value of the Preference Share and the
$\overline{C.16}$ Expiration or
maturity date:
The Maturity Date of the Notes is 22 November 2021.
C.17 Settlement
procedure:
The Notes will be cash-settled.
C.18 Return on
securities:
Series ZCP2016-62 are Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk.
The performance of the Underlying will determine the redemption price
of the Preference Share. This redemption price is used to calculate the

final value of the Preference Share on a one for one basis. The percentage change in the final value of the Preference Share as against its issue price is then used to calculate the return on the Notes.

As a result, the potential effect of the value of the Underlying on the return on the Notes means that investors may lose some or all of their investment.

In this section, for ease of explanation rather than refer to the Notes being linked to the value of the Preference Share which is in turn linked to the Underlying, Notes (including the return on the Notes) are described as being linked to the Underlying.

Redemption provisions in respect of Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk:

These Notes have the potential for early maturity (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.

If there has been no kick out, the return on the Notes at maturity will be based on the performance of the Underlying, and in certain circumstances this may result in the investor receiving an amount less than their initial investment.

The potential payouts at maturity for Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk are as follows:

Scenario A - Digital Return

If at maturity the level of the Underlying is greater than a specified percentage of the initial level of the Underlying, an investor will receive a cash amount equal to their initial investment multiplied by a specified percentage return of at least 100% ("Digital Return").

Scenario $B - No$ Return

If at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level of the Underlying, an investor will receive their initial investment with no additional return, provided that a "Trigger Event"* has not occurred.

Scenario $C - Loss$ of Investment

If at maturity the level of the Underlying is less than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level of the Underlying and a Trigger Event has occurred an investor's investment will be reduced by 1% for every 1% fall of the level of the Underlying at maturity.

*A "Trigger Event" occurs where the level of the Underlying falls below a specified percentage of the initial level of the Underlying at the Valuation Time on the date specified in the relevant Final Terms.

The performance of the Underlying will determine the redemption price Exercise price $C.19$ of the Preference Share. This redemption price is used to calculate the or final final value of the Preference Share on a one for one basis. The reference price percentage change in the final value of the Preference Share as against of the

underlying: its issue price is then used to calculate the return on the Notes.
In this section, for ease of explanation rather than refer to the Notes
being linked to the value of the Preference Share which is in turn linked
to the Underlying, Notes (including the return on the Notes) are
described as being linked to the Underlying.
The determination of the performance of the Underlying will be carried
out by the Preference Share Calculation Agent, being Investec Bank
plc.
The Preference Share Calculation Agent will compare an initial level of
the Underlying with a final level of the Underlying.
The initial level of the Underlying will be the closing level on the Issue
Date.
The final level of the Underlying will be the closing level of the
Underlying on the final redemption valuation date.
The level of the Underlying used to determine whether or not an
automatic early redemption is applicable will be the closing level of the
Underlying on each automatic early redemption valuation date.
The determination of the redemption amount of the Notes will be
carried out by the Calculation Agent, being Investec Bank plc.
$\overline{C.20}$ Type of the
underlying:
The performance of the Underlying will determine the redemption price
of the Preference Share. This redemption price is used to calculate the
final value of the Preference Share on a one for one basis. The
percentage change in the final value of the Preference Share as against
its issue price is then used to calculate the return on the Notes.
In this section, for ease of explanation rather than refer to the Notes
being linked to the value of the Preference Share which is in turn linked
to the Underlying, Notes (including the return on the Notes) are
described as being linked to the Underlying.
The Underlying relating to the Notes is a single index (being the
FTSETM 100 Index), information about the past and the further

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.6 Risks specific to
the securities:
Capital at Risk: The Notes are not capital protected. Accordingly,
there is no guarantee that the return on 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. Investors may lose some or 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
the Notes 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.
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 Preference Share:
The return on the Notes is calculated by reference to the percentage
change in value of one or more preference shares, the redemption price
on such preference shares being based on 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.
In this section, for ease of explanation, the return on the Notes is
summarised by reference to the performance of the Underlying rather
than the applicable Preference Share.
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, 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 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 Underlying, in
which case investors would be fully exposed to any downside of the
Underlying during such specified period.
