RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The following wording shall, by virtue of this Supplement, be added on page 167 of the Prospectus:
On 13 June 2018, Santander UK Group Holdings plc announced that the High Court of England and Wales (the "Court") had approved the Issuer's ring-fencing transfer scheme (the "Scheme") under Part VII of the FSMA.
As part of the Santander UK Group's ring-fencing implementation, the Issuer and Abbey National Treasury Services plc are undertaking the Scheme to help ensure that the Santander UK Group will, ahead of 1 January 2019, be
compliant with the ring-fencing provisions that will come into force on that date. The Scheme is a legal process, overseen by the Court, that gives effect to transfers of business so as to facilitate the creation of the ring-fence.
The PRA consented to the application to the Court for approval of the Scheme.
The transfers of business under the Scheme will now be effected. These will take place largely in July 2018.
