The Base Prospectus referred to below (as completed by these Final Terms) has been prepared on the basis that, except as provided in sub-paragraph (ii) below, any offer of Notes in any Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer of the Notes may only do so:

  • in those Public Offer Jurisdictions mentioned in paragraph 7 of Part B below, provided such person $(ii)$ is one of the persons mentioned in paragraph $7$ of Part $\overline{B}$ below and that such offer is made during the Offer Period specified for such purpose therein.

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.

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.

B.1 and
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.
B.5 The group: The Issuer is the main banking subsidiary of Invested 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.

parent undertaking and controlling party of which is Invested plc.
B.17 Credit Ratings: The long-term senior debt of the Issuer has a rating of BBB+ as rated by 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 by Global Credit Rating. This means
that Global Credit Rating is of the 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 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.
