The aggregate nominal amount of Notes outstanding will not at any time exceed US$5,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies). We have made an application to the Financial Services Authority in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the ‘‘UK Listing Authority’’) for Notes issued under the Programme for the period of 12 months from the date of this Prospectus to be admitted to the official list of the UK Listing Authority (the ‘‘Official List’’) and to London Stock Exchange plc (the ‘‘London Stock Exchange’’) for such Notes to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Gilt-Edged and Fixed Interest Market (the ‘‘Market’’). References in this Prospectus to Notes being ‘‘listed’’ on the London Stock Exchange (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to the Official List and have been admitted to trading on the Market. The Market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Investment Services Directive 93/22/EEC. In addition, we have made an application for Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted during the period of 12 months after the date hereof to listing on the Dubai International Financial Exchange (‘‘DIFX’’). Notes may also be issued under the Programme that are admitted to trading or listed on any other stock exchange. Unlisted Notes may also be issued pursuant to the Programme. The relevant Final Terms (as defined in ‘‘Overview—Overview of the Programme—Method of Issue’’) in respect of the issue of any Notes will specify whether or not such Notes will be listed on (i) the Official List and admitted to trading on the Market and/or (ii) the DIFX and/or (iii) any other stock exchange. The Programme has been rated ‘‘A1’’ (stable) by Moody’s Investors Service Limited (‘‘Moody’s’’) and ‘‘A+’’ (stable) by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies Inc. (‘‘Standard & Poor’s’’). Tranches of Notes (as defined in ‘‘Overview— Overview of the Programme—Method of Issue’’) to be issued under the Programme will be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is to be rated, the relevant ratings will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Programme. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. The DIFX takes no responsibility for the contents of this document, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from, or in reliance upon, any part of the contents of this document. Notes may only be offered in a minimum denomination of at least A50,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) and as such will qualify as Restricted Securities within the meaning of the Listing Rules of the DIFX.
