SUPPLEMENT DATED 18 JUNE 2021
TO THE BASE PROSPECTUS DATED 2 DECEMBER 2020
Santander UK plc
(incorporated in England and Wales with limited liability, registered number 2294747)
This supplement (the "Supplement") is prepared as a supplement to, and must be read in conjunction with the Base Prospectus dated 2 December 2020 as supplemented, in the EEA only, by the supplement dated 17 February 2021 in the United Kingdom only by a supplement dated 16 March 2021 and in the EEA only by a supplement dated 18 March 2021 relating to the Notes and Certificates Programme (the "Base Prospectus").
Prior to the "IP completion day" as defined under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as amended, the "EUWA"), the Base Prospectus has been approved by the Central Bank of Ireland as competent authority under Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended (the "EU Prospectus Regulation") and notification of such approval has been made to the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"). By virtue of Regulation 74 of the Prospectus (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (as amended), the Base Prospectus shall be treated for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and regulations made thereunder (as amended, the "UK Prospectus Regulation") as if it had been approved by the FCA at the time when it was approved by the Central Bank of Ireland.
This Supplement together with the Base Prospectus constitutes a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 8 of the EU Prospectus Regulation and the UK Prospectus Regulation. Terms defined in the Base Prospectus have the same meaning when used in this Supplement.
This Supplement has been approved as a supplementary prospectus by the Central Bank of Ireland as competent authority under the EU Prospectus Regulation. The Central Bank of Ireland only approves this Supplement as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the EU Prospectus Regulation. Such approval relates only to the Securities which are to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Irish Stock Exchange plc, trading as Euronext Dublin, or other regulated markets for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU, or which are to be offered to the public in a Member State of the European Economic Area and should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer or of the qualities of the securities that are the subject of the Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the N&C Securities.
