£40,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme

This supplement (the "3rd Supplementary Prospectus") to the Prospectus dated 6 December 2024 (as supplemented, the "Prospectus"), which comprises a base prospectus for the purpose of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK Prospectus Regulation"), constitutes a supplementary prospectus for the purposes of Article 23 of the UK Prospectus Regulation and has been prepared in connection with the £40,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme") established by NatWest Group plc (the "Issuer" or "NatWest Group"). Terms defined in the Prospectus have the same meaning when used in this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus. This 3rd Supplementary Prospectus is supplemental to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein.

This 3rd Supplementary Prospectus has been approved by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), as competent authority under the UK Prospectus Regulation. The FCA only approves this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the UK Prospectus Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer that is the subject of this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus. With effect from the date of this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus the information appearing in, or incorporated by reference into, the Prospectus shall be supplemented in the manner described below.

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus. To the best of the knowledge of the Issuer such information is in accordance with the facts and makes no omission likely to affect its import.

Purpose of the Supplementary Prospectus

The purpose of this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus is to:

  • (a) incorporate by reference into the Prospectus the Group Interim Results 2025 (as defined below);
  • (b) following the publication of the Group Interim Results 2025, update the statement of no significant change set out in the Prospectus;
  • (c) update certain information relating to credit ratings;
  • (d) update certain information relating to HM Treasury's shareholdings; and
  • (e) update certain information relating to legal proceedings.

It should be noted that, except as set forth above, no other portion of the above documents is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus. In addition, where sections of any of the above documents which are incorporated by reference into the Prospectus cross-reference other sections of the same document, such cross-referenced information shall not form part of the Prospectus, unless otherwise incorporated by reference herein. Those parts of the documents incorporated by reference which are not specifically incorporated by reference in this 3rd Supplementary Prospectus are either not relevant for prospective investors or the information is included elsewhere in the Prospectus.
