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 Invested 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.

The balance sheet remains strong, supported by sound capital and liquidity ratios. At 30 September 2017, the Issuer had £4.9 billion of cash and near cash to support its activities, representing 43% of its customer deposits. Customer deposits have decreased by less than 0.1% since 31 March 2017 to £11.2 billion at 30 September 2017. The Issuer's loan to deposit ratio was 79.1% as at 30 September 2017 (March 2017: 76.2%).

$\overline{C.18}$

			The Notes are Index Linked Notes, the redemption amount in respect of which is linked to the worst
			performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying.

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, price or value (as applicable) of the relevant Underlying at certain specified times, where the "level" is in respect of an index, a basket of indices, or an inflation index, "price" is in respect of a share (or ETF share) or "value" is in respect of a basket of shares (or ETF shares).

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

Automatic Early Redemption

The Notes may mature early (kick out) on a certain date or dates specified in the Final Terms, depending on the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying on specified valuation dates, as further described in C.15 (Effect of value of underlying instruments).

If the Notes kick out early an investor will receive the relevant Automatic Early Redemotion Amount described in C.15 (Effect of value of underlying instruments).

Final Redemption Amount

If there has been no kick out, the return on the Notes at maturity will be based on the final level of the Underlying as described in C.19 (Exercise price or final reference price of the underlying)). In certain circumstances this may result in the investor receiving an amount less than their initial investment...

Scenario A - Digital Return

If at maturity the final level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying (the "Final Level") is greater than or equal to a specified percentage of the initial level of such index (the "Initial Level"), an investor will receive a cash amount equal to their initial investment multiplied by a "Digital" Return", being 160.00 per cent.

Scenario B - Return of Initial Investment

Not applicable as no "Barrier Condition" has been specified in relation to the Notes.

Scenario C- Loss of Investment

If at maturity the Final Level is less than a specified percentage of the Initial Level, an investor will receive a cash amount equal to their initial investment reduced by a percentage linked to any decline in performance between the Initial Level and the Final Level.

	Exercise price The determination of the performance of the Underlying and the redemption price will be carried out by the
or	final Calculation Agent, being Invested Bank plc.
reference price

the The Initial Level will be the closing level of the indices in the basket comprising the Underlying as at the underlying: Valuation Time on the Strike Date.

The level of the Underlying used to determine whether an automatic early redemption event has occurred will be the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying as at the Valuation Time on the relevant automatic early redemption valuation date.

The Final Level will be the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying as at the Valuation Time on the final redemption valuation 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 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 to the securities:	Series 571 are Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk, the return on which are linked to the worst performing of the indices in the basket comprising the Underlying.
		The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes:
		Capital at Risk: Kick Out 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 worst performing index in the basket comprising the applicable Underlying. A deterioration in the performance of the worst performing index in the basket comprising 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 (including unsecured Notes which are specified in the applicable Final Terms as Notes "without Capital at Risk") 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 worst performing index in the basket comprising 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 or only a portion of the capital may be protected, if at maturity the level of the worst performing index in the basket comprising the Underlying is less than 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 worst performing index, 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 worst performing index during such specified period.
Tax: Noteholders will be liable for and/or subject to any taxes, including withholding tax, payable in respect of the Notes.

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.
