The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended by Directive 2010/73/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measure in the relevant Member State.

This document constitutes the Final Terms of the N&C Securities described herein for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive and must be read in conjunction with the Base Prospectus. Full information on the Issuer and the offer of the N&C Securities is only available on the basis of the combination of these Final Terms and the Base Prospectus. The Base Prospectus has been published on the websites of the Irish Stock Exchange (www.ise.ie), the Central Bank of Ireland (http://www.centralbank.ie) and the Issuer's website (http://www.santander.co.uk).

Furthermore, the N&C Securities do not constitute, and have not been marketed as, contracts of sale of a commodity for future delivery (or options thereon) subject to the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA"), and trading in the N&C Securities has not been approved by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") pursuant to the CEA, and no U.S. Person may at any time trade or maintain a position in the N&C Securities.

| B.1 | Legal and commercial name of the Issuer Santander UK plc |
| B.2 | Domicile / legal form / legislation / country of incorporation The Issuer is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales, registered under the Companies Act 1985. |
| B.4b | Trend information |
| Despite recent improvements in certain segments of the global economy, uncertainties remain concerning the future economic environment. Uncertainty surrounding future economic developments of the Eurozone remains an issue and interest rate differentials among Eurozone countries still indicate continued doubts about some governments' ability to fund themselves sustainably and affect borrowing rates in those economies. |
|
| The global credit market conditions have suffered from the general lack of liquidity in the secondary market for many types of instruments which may include instruments similar to the Securities. |
|
| The Group faces substantial competition in all parts of its business. The market for UK financial services is highly competitive and the recent financial crisis continues to reshape the banking landscape in the UK. |
|
| Financial services providers face increasingly stringent and costly regulatory and supervisory requirements, particularly in the areas of regulatory capital and liquidity management, the conduct of business, the structure of operations and the integrity of financial services delivery. Increased government intervention and control over financial institutions, together with measures to reduce systemic risk, may significantly impact the competitive landscape. |
|
| B.5 | Description of the Group Abbey National Treasury Services plc ("ANTS") and its subsidiaries comprise ANTS's immediate group (the "ANTS Group"). ANTS is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Santander UK plc and, along with Santander UK plc.'s other subsidiaries, forms part of the Santander UK group (the "Santander UK Group"). Santander UK plc ("Santander UK") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Santander UK Group Holdings plc which is a subsidiary of Banco Santander, S.A. which is the ultimate parent company. Banco Santander, S.A. and its subsidiary Santusa Holding, S.L. together hold the entire issued share capital of Santander UK Group Holdings plc.

$\bar{z}$
| Not Applicable - There are no recent events particular to the Issuer which are to a material extent relevant to the evaluation of the Issuer's solvency. |
|
|---|---|
| B.14 | Dependence upon other group entities ANTS has given a full and unconditional guarantee in respect of the unsubordinated liabilities, which are not debt securities, of Santander UK, incurred on or before 31 December 2018 under a deed poll guarantee entered into by ANTS on 11 May 2017. Santander UK does not rely on a guarantee from Banco Santander, S.A. or any other member of the Santander Group to generate funding or liquidity. Similarly, Santander UK does not raise funds to finance or guarantee the debts of other members of the Santander Group. See further Element B.5 above. |
| B.15 | Principal activities |
| Santander UK's business divisions consist of Retail Banking, Commercial Banking, Global Corporate Banking and Corporate Centre. |
|
| Retail Banking | |
| Retail Banking offers a wide range of products and financial services to individuals and small businesses (with less than two directors, owners or partners), through a network of branches and ATMs, as well as through telephone, digital, mobile and intermediary channels. Retail Banking also includes Santander Consumer Finance, predominantly a vehicle finance business. Santander UK's main products are residential mortgage loans, savings and current accounts, credit cards (excluding the co-branded cards business) and personal loans as well as insurance policies. |
|
| Commercial Banking | |
| Commercial Banking offers a wide range of products and financial services to customers through a network of regional Corporate Business Centres ("CBCs") and through telephony and digital channels. The management of Santander UK's customers is organised according to their annual turnover (£250,000 to £50m for SME's, and £50m to £500m for mid corporates), enabling Santander UK to offer a differentiated service to SMEs and mid corporate customers. Commercial Banking products and services includes loans, bank accounts, deposits, treasury services, invoice discounting, cash transmission, trade finance and asset finance. Commercial Banking also includes specialist commercial real estate and Social Housing lending businesses. |
|
| Global Corporate Banking | |
| Global Corporate Banking (formerly known as Corporate & Institutional Banking) services corporate clients and financial institutions that, because of their size, complexity or sophistication, require specially-tailored services or value-added wholesale products. It offers risk management and other value-added financial services to large corporates with a turnover above £500m per annum, and financial institutions, as well as to the rest of Santander UK's businesses. The main businesses areas include: working capital management (trade and export finance and cash management), financing (Debt Capital Markets, and corporate and specialised lending) and risk management (foreign exchange, rates and liability management). As part of a rebrand across the Santander Group, Corporate & Institutional Banking (the UK segment of Santander Global Corporate Banking) has been branded as Global Corporate Banking, to reflect the build out of a corporate client franchise, and the refinement of the customer centred strategy. |
|
| Corporate Centre | |
| Corporate Centre predominately consists of the non-core corporate and treasury legacy portfolios. Corporate Centre is also responsible for managing capital and funding, balance sheet composition and structure and strategic liquidity risk. The non- core corporate and treasury legacy portfolios include aviation, shipping, infrastructure, commercial mortgages, Social Housing loans and structured credit assets, all of which are being run-down and/or managed for value. In addition, the co- brand credit cards business sold in 2013 was managed in Corporate Centre prior to its sale and presented as discontinued operations. |

| D.2 | Key risks regarding the issuer In purchasing Securities, investors assume the risk that the Issuer may become insolvent or otherwise be unable to make all payments due in respect of the Securities. There are a wide range of factors which individually or together could result in the Issuer becoming unable to make all payments due in respect of the Securities. It is not possible to identify all such factors or to determine which factors are most likely to occur, as the Issuer may not be aware of all relevant factors and certain factors which they currently deem not to be material may become material as a result of the occurrence of events outside the Issuer's control. However, the Issuer has identified in the Base Prospectus a number of factors which could materially adversely affect their businesses and ability to make payments due under the Securities, and they consider that the risks identified in the Base Prospectus include all the principal risks of an investment in the Securities. These include: |
| the Group's operating results, financial condition and prospects may be materially impacted by economic ۰ conditions in the UK as well as regulatory capital, leverage and liquidity requirements imposed on the Issuer; |
|
| the Group's operating results, financial condition and prospects may be negatively affected by conditions in global financial markets; |
|
| the Group's financial results are constantly exposed to market risk. The Group is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and other markets risks, which may materially and adversely affect it; |
|
| any reduction in the credit rating assigned to the Group, any member of the Group or to any Group debt securities would be likely to increase the Group's cost of funding, require additional collateral to be placed and adversely affect its interest margins and liquidity position; |
|
| the Group operates in a highly regulated environment that imposes costs and significant compliance requirements. Changes in regulations may increase the cost and complexity of doing business, or may disadvantage the Group relative to its competitors. The failure to comply with regulations could subject the Group to sanctions, force it to cease providing certain services, or oblige it to change the scope or nature of its operations; |
|
| customers and counterparties that owe the Group money, securities or other assets may default on their obligations to the Group due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure or other reasons; and |
|
| the Group's future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of its key personnel, its ability to recruit, train, retain and motivate personnel, and to ensure that employment contract terms are |
| appropriate. | |
|---|---|
| D.3 | Key risks regarding the Securities |
| There are also risks associated with specified types of Securities and with the Securities and the markets generally, including that, unlike a bank deposit, the Securities are not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS") or other government protection scheme. As a result, neither the FSCS not any other government will pay compensation to an investor in the Securities upon the failure of the Issuer. If the Issuer goes out of business or become insolvent, holders of the Securities may lose all or part of their investment in the Securities; |
|
| investors in Securities may lose up to the entire value of their investment in the Securities as a result of the occurrence of any of (a) the insolvency of either the Issuer, (b) investors seeking to sell the Securities prior to their scheduled termination, (c) the relevant Securities being subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities, and (d) amounts payable being subject to deductions for taxes and/or expenses; |
|
| the Securities represent direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of both the Issuer and rank equally without any preference among themselves with all other present and future direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer; |
|
| the market value and the amount payable on termination of the Securities may be adversely affected by a number of factors, and the price at which a holder of Securities may be able to sell Securities prior to termination may be at a substantial discount to the market value of such Securities on the Issue Date. A holder of such Securities may suffer a loss of some or up to all of the entire amount invested on termination; |
|
| the Securities will have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop, or the Securities may be illiquid. In such case, investors may not be able to sell their Securities easily or at favourable prices; and |
|
| the Securities will be settled by the Issuer through one or more clearing systems and agents. In addition investors may hold Securities through one or more intermediaries.

| D.6 | Risk Warning |
| See D3 above. In addition: | |
| investors in Securities may lose up to the entire value of their investment in the Securities as a result of the terms of the relevant Securities where invested amounts are subject to the performance of variable benchmarks such as |
$\bar{1}$
| equities, indices, fixed income benchmarks and exchange traded funds; | |
|---|---|
| ٠ | the Issue Price of the Securities may be more than the market value of such Securities as at the Issue Date, and the price of the Securities in secondary market transactions; |
| ٠ | if the relevant Securities include leverage, potential holders of such Securities should note that these Securities will involve a higher level of risk, and that whenever there are losses such losses may be higher than those of a similar security which is not leveraged. Investors should therefore only invest in leveraged Securities if they fully understand the effects of leverage; and |
| warrants may expire worthless. In addition, where "Automatic Exercise" is not specified in the applicable Final Terms, if Warrants are not exercised by the investor on the applicable exercise date, an investor's investment in the Warrants will expire worthless. |
