IMPORTANT INFORMATION

MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market  Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's
product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Senior Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the
Senior Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Senior Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Senior Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a
distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Senior Notes (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA/UK retail investors The Senior Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise
made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or in
the United Kingdom ("UK"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11)
of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the "Insurance
Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the

Senior Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Senior Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the UK may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Each person in a Member State of the EEA or in the UK who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any Senior Notes
under, the offers to the public contemplated in this prospectus supplement, or to whom the Senior Notes are otherwise made available, will be
deemed to have represented, warranted, acknowledged and agreed to and with each Underwriter and the Issuer that it and any person on whose
behalf it acquires Senior Notes is not a "retail investor" as defined above.

European Economic Area This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Senior Notes in any Member
State of the EEA or in the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a

have waived to the fullest extent permitted by law any right of set-off, counterclaim or combination of
accounts with respect to such Senior Note or the Indenture (or between our obligations under or in respect of
any Senior Note and any liability owed by a holder) that they (or the Trustee acting on their behalf) might
otherwise have against us, whether before or during our winding-up, liquidation or

acting on behalf of such holders) against us are discharged by set-off, such holder (or the Trustee acting on
behalf of such holders) will immediately pay an amount equal to the amount of such discharge to us or, in
the event of a winding-up, liquidation or administration, our liquidator or administrator (or other relevant
insolvency official), as the case may be, to be held on trust for senior creditors, and until such time as
payment is made will hold a sum equal to such amount on trust for senior creditors, and accordingly such
discharge shall be deemed not to have taken place.

unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and future, except such obligations as are preferred by

Events of Default and Defaults;
Events of Default
Limitation of Remedies

An "Event of Default" with respect to each series of Senior Notes shall only result if:

· a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order for our winding up which is not successfully
appealed within 30 days; or

· an effective shareholders' resolution is validly adopted for our winding up,

in each case other than under or in connection with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not
involving a bankruptcy or insolvency.

There are no other Events of Default under the Senior Notes. If an Event of Default with respect to a series
of Senior Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holder or holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal amount of, and any accrued but
unpaid interest on such Senior Notes to be due and payable immediately in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. There are no other circumstances in which holders of Senior Notes or the Trustee may accelerate
amounts to be paid in respect of the Senior Notes.

Defaults

A "Default" with respect to each series of the Senior Notes shall result if:

· any installment of interest in respect of such Senior Notes is not paid on or before the relevant
Interest Payment Date and such failure continues for 14 days; or

· all or any part of the principal amount of such Senior Notes is not paid when it otherwise becomes
due and payable, whether upon redemption or otherwise, and such failure continues for 7 days.

If a Default occurs and is continuing, with respect of a series of Senior Notes, the Trustee may commence a
proceeding for our winding up, but the Trustee may not declare the principal amount of any outstanding
such Senior Notes to be due and payable.

Notwithstanding any contrary provisions, nothing shall impair the right of a holder, absent the holder's
consent, to sue for any payments due but unpaid with respect to any Senior Notes.

The provisions described under "Description of Debt Securities--Events of Default and Defaults;
Limitation of Remedies" in the accompanying prospectus do not apply to the Senior Notes.

be exercised by means of variation of the terms of the Senior Notes solely to give effect to the exercise by
the relevant UK authority of such UK bail-in power. Each holder and beneficial owner of the Senior Notes

the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to RBSG or other members of the
Group, including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements which are

European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit
institutions and investment firms (notwithstanding that the UK is no longer a member state of the European
Union) and/or within the context of a UK resolution regime under the Banking Act, pursuant to which any
obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates
can be reduced, cancelled, modified, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or
obligations of the obligor or any other person (or suspended for a temporary period) or pursuant to which
any right in a contract governing such obligations may be deemed to have been exercised. A reference to the
