The notes will be issued in series and each series will be the subject of final terms (each “Final Terms”). We are privately placing the notes on a delayed or continuous basis to the placement agents named below (the “Placement Agents”) or through the Placement Agents to qualified institutional buyers as described in this Base Prospectus under the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” This document constitutes a base prospectus (“Base Prospectus”) for the purposes of Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU) and includes any relevant implementing measure in a relevant Member State of the European Economic Area) (the “Prospectus Directive”). Application has been made to the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), in its capacity as competent authority for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom (the “UK Listing Authority”) for the document to be approved as a Base Prospectus issued in compliance with the Prospectus Directive and relevant implementing measures in the United Kingdom for the purpose of giving information with regard to the issue of notes issued under this program. Application has been made to admit such notes during the period of twelve months after the date hereof to listing on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority (the “Official List”). Application has also been made to the London Stock Exchange plc (the “London Stock Exchange”) for the notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s regulated market, which is a regulated market for the purpose of Directive 2004/39/EC (the “Markets in Financial Instruments Directive”). See the section entitled “Risk Factors” commencing on page 21 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider prior to making an investment in the notes. By its acquisition of the notes, each noteholder (including each beneficial owner) acknowledges, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of any UK bail-in power (as defined below) by the relevant UK resolution authority (as defined below) that may result in (i) the cancellation, write-down or reduction of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the notes (including by variation of the notes) and/or (ii) any other modification of the notes and/or (iii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the notes into our Core Capital Deferred Shares (“CCDS”) or our or another person's shares or other securities or other obligations (including by variation of the notes) to give effect to the exercise by the relevant UK resolution authority of such UK bail-in power, and the rights of the holders of the notes will be subject to the provisions of any UK bail-in power which are expressed to implement such a reduction, write-down, cancellation, modification or conversion. Each noteholder further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the noteholders are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, so as to give effect to, the exercise by the relevant UK resolution authority of such UK bail-in power. For purposes of the notes, a “UK bail-in power” is any statutory power to effect a cancellation, write-down, reduction, modification and/or conversion of a liability existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of credit institutions, investment firms and certain banking group companies (including relevant parent undertakings, subsidiaries and/or affiliates) incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable to the issuer or any member of the Group (as defined herein), including but not limited to the UK Banking Act 2009, as the same may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the UK Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 or otherwise), and any laws, regulations, rules or requirements in the United Kingdom which are adopted or enacted in order to implement Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 15, 2014 establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms and amending Council Directive 82/891/EEC, and Directives 2001/24/EC, 2002/47/EC, 2004/25/EC, 2005/56/EC, 2007/36/EC, 2011/35/EU, 2012/30/EU and 2013/36/EU, and Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010 and (EU) No 648/2012, of the European Parliament and of the Council (the “BRRD”), pursuant to which liabilities of a credit institution, investment firm, certain of its parent undertakings and/or certain of its affiliates can be cancelled, written down, reduced, modified and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the issuer or any other person (and a reference to the “relevant UK resolution authority” is to any authority with the ability to exercise a UK bail-in power). By purchasing the notes, each noteholder (including each beneficial owner) waives any and all claims against The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, as trustee, for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the trustee in respect of, and agrees that the trustee will not be liable for, any action that the trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the UK bail-in power by the relevant UK resolution authority with respect to the notes.

  • New Credit Card Rules
    WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: New Credit Card Rules The Federal Reserve’s new rules for credit card companies mean new credit card protections for you. Here are some key changes you should expect from your credit card company beginning on February 22, 2010. What your credit card company has to tell you When they plan to increase your rate or other fees. Your credit card company must send you a notice 45 days before they can increase your interest rate; change certain fees (such as annual fees, cash advance fees, and late fees) that ap- ply to your account; or make other signifi cant changes to the terms of your card. If your credit card company is going to make changes to the terms of your card, it must give you the option to cancel the card before certain fee increases take effect. If you take that option, however, your credit card company may close your account and increase your monthly payment, subject to certain limitations. For example, they can require you to pay the balance off in fi ve years, or they can double the percentage of your balance used to calculate your minimum payment (which will result in faster repayment than under the terms of your account). The company does not have to send you a 45-day advance notice if you have a variable interest rate tied to an index; if the index goes up, the company does not have to provide notice before your rate goes up; your introductory rate expires and reverts to the previously disclosed “go-to” rate; your rate increases because you are in a workout agreement and you haven’t made your payments as agreed.

  • Credit Card Offer
    The following contains detailed information about the important aspects of a credit card offer 1) APR for purchases The interest rate you pay, on an annual basis, if you carry over balances on purchases from one billing cycle to the next. If the card has an introductory rate, you will also see the rate that applies after the introductory rate ends. Multiple interest rates may be listed here. Your rate will depend on your creditworthiness, which is based on your debt, income, credit score, and other factors, such as your history of paying bills on time. 2) APR for balance transfers The interest rate you pay, on an annual basis, if you transfer a balance from another card. Balance transfer fees may apply, even if the balance transfer APR is 0%. If there is an introductory rate, pay attention to when that rate ends and what the new rate will be. 3) APR for cash advances The interest rate you pay if you withdraw a cash advance from your credit card account. Cash advance fees may also apply. Most credit card companies charge interest immediately, starting from the date you get the cash advance. 4) Penalty APR and when it applies Your credit card company may increase your interest rate for several reasons. For example, if you: a. pay your bill late, b. go over your credit limit, c. make a payment that is returned, or d. do any of these on another account that you have with the same company. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your card to know what can cause your interest rate to go up.

  • Risk Management for the Period Ended 30 June 2013 (Unaudited) All Amounts Are Stated in £M Unless Otherwise Indicated
    Risk management For the period ended 30 June 2013 (unaudited) All amounts are stated in £m unless otherwise indicated The Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR 4.2.7) require that a description of the principal risks and uncertainties are given in the interim financial report in respect of the remaining six months of the financial year. The short term outlook continues to be challenging for the Bank. The Bank has developed a recapitalisation plan (‘the Plan’), which has the key objective to significantly strengthen the Bank’s capital base and to refocus its strategy around its strength in core relationship banking providing current accounts, residential mortgages and savings products to individuals and small business banking. Its successful completion is critical to stabilising the Bank’s position and, as such, is in the long term interest of all stakeholders. Other risks are consistent with those described in the Bank’s risk management section of the 2012 financial statements on pages 54 to 79. 1. Credit risk 1.1 Overview Credit risk is one of the principal risks identified in the risk management framework and is an integral part of our business activities. It is inherent in both traditional banking products (revolving credit lines, loans, mortgages, commitments to lend, and contingent liabilities such as letters of credit) and in 'traded products' (derivative contracts such as forwards, swaps and options, repurchase agreements, securities borrowing and lending transactions). All authority to take credit risk derives from the Banking Group's Board. This authority is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and then on to other individuals.
