U.K. Bail-in Power Acknowledgment: Yes. Each holder of the Notes (including each beneficial owner) acknowledges and agrees  to be bound by, and consents to, the exercise of any U.K. bail-in power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority that may result in (i) the cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest or coupon on, the Notes and/or (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest or coupon on, such Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of Issuer, the Guarantor or another person. See, also the section entitled “Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power” on page S-27 of the prospectus supplement, and “Recent regulatory developments in the EU and in the United Kingdom may affect your rights under the Notes and the value of the Notes” on page 2 below.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used in this pricing supplement are defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus.

Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
 
 
 

 
 
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
The Selling Agent identified on the cover of this pricing supplement has agreed with us to act in such capacity in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes. In addition, we have agreed to enter into a swap transaction with an affiliate of the Selling Agent – please see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” below.

We may deliver the Notes against payment therefor on a date that is more than three business days after the Trade Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, if the initial settlement of the Notes occurs more than three business days after the Trade Date, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes more than three business days prior to the Issue Date of the Notes will be required to specify alternative arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisers in connection with that election.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging
The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used as described under “Use of Proceeds” on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus. We will enter into a swap transaction with an affiliate of the Selling Agent to hedge our obligations under the Notes, and our counterparty expects to realize a profit in connection with such swap transaction.

Tax Consequences
You should review carefully the section in the prospectus supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”  The Notes will be treated as fixed rate debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we expect them to be treated as issued without original issue discount.  You will be required to include stated interest in income at the time it accrues or is received, in accordance with your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and any gain or loss realized upon the sale, exchange or redemption of the Notes generally will be capital gain or loss.  Interest income earned with respect to the Notes will be foreign-source income. For a discussion of U.K. tax considerations relating to the Notes, you should refer to the section in the prospectus supplement entitled “Taxation in the United Kingdom.”

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

Recent regulatory developments in the EU and in the United Kingdom may affect your rights under the Notes and the value of the Notes. The U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 became law in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2013, and granted the “U.K. bail-in power” as part of the powers of the U.K. resolution authority. The “U.K. bail-in power” is a power exercisable by the relevant U.K. resolution authority relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions, and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom, and is applicable to the Issuer, Guarantor, and its affiliates. The U.K. bail-in power is designed for the relevant U.K. resolution authority to recapitalize a failing institution by allocating losses to its shareholders and bondholders (potentially including holders of the Notes), and includes the power to (i) cancel all or a part of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Notes, or otherwise modify the terms of the Notes and/or (ii) convert all, or part of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Issuer, the Guarantor or another person. The U.K. bail-in power will be able to be exercised on or after a date that shall be determined by the U.K. Treasury, and then may be exercised when the relevant U.K. resolution authority determines that (i) the relevant bank is failing or likely to fail, (ii) it is not reasonably likely that any other action can be taken to avoid the bank’s failure, and (iii) it is in the public interest to exercise the U.K. bail-in power.

Any exercise, or threat of exercise, of the U.K. bail-in power would have a significant negative effect on the value of the Notes. In addition, you are likely to have limited rights or no rights to challenge any decision regarding the exercise of the U.K. bail-in power or to have any such decision reviewed by a judicial or administrative process or otherwise.  For additional information on the U.K. bail-in power, please see “Recent Regulatory Developments in the E.U. and the U.K.” beginning on page S-28 of the prospectus supplement and “Holders of the Notes may be required to absorb losses in the event we become subject to recovery and resolution action” on page S-4 of the prospectus supplement.
