IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS DRAWDOWN
PROSPECTUS AND OFFERS OF NOTES GENERALLY
This Drawdown Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
Notes in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such
jurisdiction. The distribution of this Drawdown Prospectus and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted
by law in certain jurisdictions. The Bank, the Joint Lead Managers and the Common Representative do not
represent that this Drawdown Prospectus may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully
offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or
pursuant to an exemption available thereunder, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such
distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Bank, the Joint Lead Managers or
the Common Representative which is intended to permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of
this Drawdown Prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, no
Notes may be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this Drawdown Prospectus nor any

In particular, there are restrictions on the distribution of this Drawdown Prospectus and the offer or sale of

(see "Subscription and Sale" in the Base Prospectus (as defined below)).
All references in this document to "Euro", "EUR" and "" refer to the currency introduced at the start of
the third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the
European Union, as amended.
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential
investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional
advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in
this Drawdown Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its
overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including Notes where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the
potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of financial
markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect
its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain
authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what
extent (1) Notes are legal investments for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of
2


borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions
should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of
Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (the "Securities Act") and are subject to U.S. tax law requirements. Subject to certain
exceptions, Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons (see "Subscription and Sale" in the Base Prospectus (as defined below)).

STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of the Notes, Merrill Lynch International (the "Stabilising Manager")
may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes at
a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance that the
Stabilising Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager) will undertake
stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public
disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but
it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the Notes and 60 days after the
date of the allotment of the Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by
the Stabilising Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilising Manager) in accordance with
all applicable laws and rules.

RISK FACTORS
In purchasing Notes, investors assume the risk that the Bank may become insolvent or otherwise be unable
to make all payments due in respect of the Notes. There is a wide range of factors which individually or
together could result in the Bank becoming unable to make all payments due in respect of the Notes. It is
not possible to identify all such factors or to determine which factors are most likely to occur, as the Bank
may not be aware of all relevant factors and certain factors which it currently deems not to be material
may become material as a result of the occurrence of events outside the Bank's control. The Bank has
identified a number of factors which could materially adversely affect its business and ability to make
payments due under the Notes. In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the
market risks associated with the Notes are also described herein.
Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere or incorporated by
reference into this Drawdown Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment
decision.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE BANK'S ABILITY TO FULFIL ITS OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THE NOTES
The risk factors relating to the Bank are set out on pages 31 to 46 under the heading "Factors that may
affect BES' ability to fulfil its obligations under Notes to be issued by BES under the Programme or
guaranteed by BES under the Deed of Guarantee" in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Base
Prospectus (as defined below) and on pages 2 and 3 in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Second
Supplement (as defined below).
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE NOTES
The risk factors relating to the Notes are set out under the heading "Risk Factors Relating To The Notes
Issued Under The Programme" on pages 47 to 56 in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Base
Prospectus (as defined below) and below:
Tier 2 Subordinated Notes, Remedies for Non-Payment
The sole remedy against the Issuer available to the Common Representative or any Noteholder for
recovery of amounts owing in respect of any payment of principal or interest in respect of any Notes will
be the institution of proceedings for the winding up of the Issuer and/or proving in any winding up of the
Issuer. As such, the remedies available to holders of the Notes are more limited than those typically
available to holders of senior-ranking securities, which may make enforcement more difficult.
