Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Conditions set forth in the Prospectus dated 21 September 2021 which constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law pursuant to the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended ("EUWA") (the "UK Prospectus Regulation") (the "Prospectus"). This document constitutes the Final Terms of the Notes described herein for the purposes of the UK Prospectus Regulation and must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus in order to obtain all the relevant information. The Prospectus has been published on the website of the Regulatory News Service operated by the London Stock Exchange at http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-home.html.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK").

Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

  • (i) Listing and admission to trading: Application has been made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the Notes to be listed on the Official List of the FCA and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Regulated Market with effect from 3 November 2021. (ii) Estimate of total £5,150
    • expenses relating to admission to trading:

2. RATINGS

The Notes to be issued have been assigned the following ratings:

A- by S&P Global Ratings UK Limited ("S&P")

An obligation rated 'A' is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong. The modifier '-' indicates the relative standing within the rating category. (Source: S&P, https://disclosure.spglobal.com/ratings/en/regulatory/article/- /view/sourceId/504352)

A3 by Moody's Investors Service Ltd ("Moody's")

An obligation rated 'A' is considered upper-medium grade and is subject to low credit risk. The modifier '3' indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. (Source: Moody's, https://www.moodys.com/Pages/amr002002.aspx)

3. INTERESTS OF NATURAL AND LEGAL PERSONS INVOLVED IN THE ISSUE

Save for any fees payable to the Managers, so far as the Issuer is aware, no person involved in the issue of the Notes has an interest material to the offer. The Managers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform other services for, the Issuer and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

4. YIELD

Indication of yield: 2.95 per cent. on a semi-annual basis up to the Reset Date. The yield is calculated at the Issue Date on the basis of the Issue Price. It is not an indication of future yield

Any clearing system (s) other than
DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream,
Luxembourg (together with the
address of each such clearing
system) and the relevant
identification number(s):
Not Applicable
Names and addresses of

any):
Not Applicable
Intended to be held in a manner
which would allow Eurosystem
eligibility:
No. Whilst the designation is specified as "no" at
the
date
of
these
Final
Terms,
should
the
Eurosystem eligibility criteria be amended in the
future such that the Notes are capable of meeting
them the Notes may then be deposited with one of
the ICSDs as common safekeeper (and registered
in the name of a nominee of one of the ICSDs
acting as common safekeeper). Note that this does
not necessarily mean that the Notes will then be
recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem
monetary policy and intra day credit operations by
the Eurosystem at any time during their life. Such
recognition will depend upon the ECB being
satisfied that Eurosystem eligibility criteria have
been met.

7. THIRD PARTY INFORMATION

The Issuer confirms that such information has been accurately reproduced and that, so far as it is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by S&P and Moody's, as applicable, no facts have been omitted which would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading.
