Neither the Issuer nor any Dealer has authorised, nor do they authorise, the making of any offer of Notes in any other circumstances. The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended by Directive 2008/11/EC, Directive 2010/73/EU and Directive 2008/78/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measures in the Relevant Member State.

| Legal commercial of the name Issuer: |
The legal name of the issuer is Investee 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.4 b | Trends: | The Issuer, in its unaudited half yearly financial report for the six month period ended 30 September 2017, reported a decrease of 6.9% in operating profit before goodwill and acquired intangibles and after non- controlling interests to £79.285 million (September 2016: £85.160 million). 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%). At 30 September 2017, the Issuer's total capital adequacy ratio was 16.0% and its common equity tier 1 ratio was 12.1%. The Issuer's anticipated 'fully loaded' common equity tier 1 ratio and leverage ratio are 12.1% and 8.2%, 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 14bps higher. The credit loss charge as a percentage of average gross core loans and advances has decreased from 0.90% at 31 March 2017 to 0.84%. The Issuer's gearing ratio remains low with total assets to equity decreasing to 9.3 times at 30 September 2017. |

| 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 635 are Phoenix Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk, the return on which are linked to the worst performing of the Shares comprising the Underlying. |
| The following are the key risks applicable to the Notes: | ||
| Capital at Risk: Phoenix 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 share in the basket comprising the applicable Underlying. A deterioration in the performance of the worst performing share 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. |
| Indicative Terms: Investors will be required to make an investment decision based on indicative pricing in relation to certain features of the Notes rather than the final amounts, levels, percentages, prices, rates or values (as applicable), which will only be fixed or determined at the end of the offer period after such investment decision is made but will apply to the Notes once issued. Investors should be aware that the final level, percentage, price, rate or value (as applicable) determined in relation to each such feature of the Notes may be the least favourable level, percentage, price, rate or value (the "minimum indicative value" or "maximum indicative value", as applicable) disclosed in the Final Terms, and in such circumstances, the return on the Notes will be equal to the lowest potential return disclosed in the applicable Final Terms. |
| 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 share in the basket comprising the Underlying. Poor performance of the relevant share 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 value of the worst performing share in the basket comprising the Underlying is less than a specified value, 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 value of the worst performing share, 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 share during such specified period. |
| Interest linked to Underlying: The return interest payable on Phoenix Kick Out Notes with Capital at Risk is dependent on the price of the worst performing Underlying during the applicable interest period. Noteholders will be exposed to the risk of a prolonged increase or decline in, or volatility of, the relevant Underlying that causes the value of the relevant Underlying to fall outside of the specified range during the interest period which 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. |
