Assets. Any amounts not so applied shall be deposited in the Cash

Assets) shall be credited to the Cash Deposit.
The Issuer may sell Reference Assets in whole or in part from time to
time in its sole discretion and apply some or all of the proceeds of such
sale to purchase other Reference Assets. The Issuer is also required to
sell Reference Assets in certain circumstances as described in
Condition 6.2 "Update of the Reference Portfolio" and apply some or
all of the proceeds of such sale to purchase other Reference Assets.

Deposit within 6 months of the date such amounts are deposited into

interest (after deduction of any accrued Strategy Fees and any costs,
charges and expenses paid or payable by the Issuer in respect of the
Reference Portfolio).

on each date on which a Reference Asset is sold or purchased as
described above.

Certificates will depend primarily on the performance of the Reference
Portfolio and Holders may not receive the nominal amount of the
Certificates back on Redemption.

KEY QUESTIONS
Where does my money go?
The money raised from selling the Certificates (after payment of
certain costs, fees and expenses in connection with the offering,
issue and listing of the Certificates) is invested in Reference Assets.
Any amounts not invested in Reference Assets will be placed in a
Cash Deposit with us. Interest earned on the Cash Deposit and
amounts of principal received in respect of the Reference Portfolio
(other than amounts used to purchase further Reference Assets) are
credited to the Cash Deposit.
What is the Reference

issued by banks and subordinated securities issued by insurance
companies. Certain characteristics of such securities are described
in "Risk Factors Nature of the Reference Assets" below.
Will all the money raised be

on the Closing Date?
Reference Assets will be deposited into the Cash Deposit, to be
applied by the Issuer within six months of the Closing Date. It
could therefore be up to six months from the Closing Date before
the Issuer has invested in Reference Assets.
Do the Certificates pay a

respect of the Reference Portfolio and any interest paid on the Cash
Deposit will be paid to Holders semi-annually in the form of
interest on the Certificates (after deduction of any accrued but
unpaid Strategy Fees and any costs, charges, expenses and fees paid
or payable by the Issuer in respect of the Reference Portfolio).
If such interest and/or dividend income is high in any Calculation
Period, interest paid on the Certificates will also be high. On the
other hand, if such income is low in any Calculation Period, interest
paid on the Certificates will also be low and may even be zero if
such income is not sufficient to cover the fees and expenses payable
by the Issuer.
What happens to amounts of Any amounts of principal received by the Issuer in respect of the
principal received from the
Reference Portfolio will either be reinvested in further Reference
Reference Portfolio?
Assets or be paid to Holders in the form of interest on the
Certificates (after deduction of any accrued but unpaid Strategy
Fees and any costs, charges, expenses and fees paid or payable by
the Issuer in respect of the Reference Portfolio).
Can the Reference Portfolio
Yes. The Reference Assets forming the Reference Portfolio may
Change?
change from time to time during the life of the Certificates by the
Issuer selling and/or purchasing Reference Assets.
The Issuer is also required to sell Reference Assets in certain
specified circumstances, including where the return on or rating
assigned to a Reference Asset is below a specified threshold. The
Issuer may only purchase Reference Assets which satisfy the
Reference Asset Characteristics on the date such Reference Assets

7

are so purchased.
The Concentration Limitation will be satisfied on each date on
which a Reference Asset is sold or purchased as described above.
What Affects the Value of the Changes in the creditworthiness of the obligors in respect of the
Certificates?
Reference Assets will result in a change in the value of the
Reference Portfolio, which will in turn affect the value of the
Certificates. The value of the Certificates will also be affected by
changes in the creditworthiness of the Issuer.
Changes in interest rates may affect the value of the Reference
Assets, and therefore the value of the Certificates. The value of
Reference Assets which provide for a fixed rate of interest would
typically decrease if long term interest rates increase, and vice
versa. The value of Reference Assets which provide for a floating
rate of interest (being a margin above a specified benchmark rate) is
less sensitive to changes in interest rates. The value of Reference
Assets which provide for a rate of interest linked to constant
maturity swap rates would typically increase if the yield curve
steepens, and vice versa.
Upon the Issuer making an interest payment in respect of the
Certificates, the value of the Certificates will decrease by an
amount equal to such interest payment and the fees and expenses
(including any Management Fees) paid by the Issuer.
Can the Certificates be

may redeem the Certificates at any time by giving not less than
three months notice or upon the occurrence of an illegality event.

Issuer on liquidation of the Reference Portfolio based on your
holding of the Certificates (after deduction of any accrued but
unpaid Strategy Fees and any costs, charges, expenses and fees paid
or payable by the Issuer in respect of the Reference Portfolio).
If the Reference Portfolio has performed well then the Cash
Deposit and the liquidation value of the Reference Portfolio may
have grown and on a redemption of the Certif icates you may
receive more than the amount of the investment you have made. If
the Reference Portfolio has not performed well, you may receive
less than the amount of the investment you have made.
Will There Be a Secondary

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider all of the information contained in this
Offering Circular and any documents incorporated into this Offering Circular by reference as well as
their own personal circumstances before deciding to invest in any Certificates. Prospective investors
should have particular regard to, among other matters, the considerations set out in this section of
this document. The following is not intended as, and should not be construed as, an exhaustive list of
relevant risk factors. There may be other risks that a prospective investor should consider that are
relevant to its own particular circumstances or generally. In particular, prospective investors should
read the section of this Offering Circular entitled "Key Questions".
Before making an investment decision with respect to any Certificates, prospective investors
should consult their own stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer, accountant or other financial, legal and
tax advisers and carefully review the risks entailed by an investment in the Certificates and consider
such an investment decision in the light of the prospective investor's personal circumstances.
Words and expressions defined in the Conditions of the Certificates shall have the same
meaning in this section.
Issuer Credit Risk
The risk that the Issuer will be unable to pay amounts due under the Certificates is known as
credit risk. The Certificates will constitute unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer
and will rank equally among themselves and equally with all other unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of the Issuer (other than obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of law). If you
purchase Certificates, you are relying on the creditworthiness of the Issuer and no other person. If the
Issuer itself becomes unable for any reason to fulfil its obligations then the Holder may suffer a total
loss of principal.

Credit Exposure to Obligors of Reference Assets
As described above, payments on the Certificates are conditional on the Issuer receiving
correlating payments in respect of the Reference Portfolio. The Certificates are therefore subject to
the credit risk of the obligors in respect of the Reference Assets and payment of certain amounts due
under the Certificates (including payment of the principal on a redemption) on a full and timely basis
is dependent upon such obligors meeting their payment obligations under the terms of the Reference
Assets in a timely manner. The Issuer does not make any representation as to the credit of the obligors
in respect of the Reference Assets for the duration of the Certificates.

Nature of the Reference Assets

The Reference Portfolio will consist of Tier 1 and Tier 2 securities issued by banks and
subordinated securities issued by insurance companies. Given payments of interest and, on a
redemption, principal in respect of the Certificates is dependant on receipt by the Issuer of payments
of principal and interest in respect of the Reference Portfolio, the return payable on the Certificates
will be affected by the nature and terms of the Reference Assets.

Such securities are generally unsecured and will rank junior in priority of payment to the
relevant obligor's senior indebtedness (whether now existing or subsequently incurred). Therefore, an
obligor will not be able to make any payments of principal or interest on a Reference Asset if it
defaults on a payment of its senior indebtedness. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or
dissolution of an obligor, its assets would be available to pay obligations under the Reference Asset
only after payments had been made on its senior indebtedness. Reference Assets will generally not
