PART A - CONTRACTUAL TERMS
The Offering Memorandum referred to below (as completed by this Pricing Supplement) has been
prepared on the basis that any offer of Securities in any Member State of the European Economic Area
which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (2003/71/EC) (as amended by Directive 2010/73/EU,
the "Prospectus Directive") (each, a "Relevant Member State") will be made pursuant to an exemption
under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in that Relevant Member State, from the requirement to
publish a prospectus for offers of the Securities. Accordingly any person making or intending to make an
offer in that Relevant Member State of the Securities may only do so in circumstances in which no
obligation arises for the Issuer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive, in each case, in relation to
such offer. The Issuer has not authorised, nor does it authorise, the making of any offer of Securities in
any other circumstances.
Warning: Neither this Pricing Supplement nor the Offering Memorandum referred to below
constitutes a "prospectus" for the purposes of Article 5.4 of the Prospectus Directive, and this
Pricing Supplement and the Offering Memorandum have been prepared on the basis that no
prospectus shall be required under the Prospectus Directive in relation to the offer and sale of any
Securities.
The Securities are not intended to be sold and should not be sold to "retail clients" (as defined in
the Markets in Financial Securities Directive (2004/39/EC) ("MiFID") and/or in the United
Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority's Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), in each case,
as amended from time to time) other than where the limited exemptions permitted by COBS 4.14.2
apply. By making or accepting an offer to purchase any Securities from the Issuer or any Dealer,
each prospective investor will be deemed to have represented, warranted, and undertaken to the
Issuer and each of the relevant Dealers that (a) it is not a retail client (as described above) other
than a retail client falling within the exceptions in section 4.14.2 of COBS; and (b) it will not sell or
offer the Securities to retail clients (as described above) or do anything (including the distribution
of this document) that would or might (i) result in the buying of the Securities or the holding of a
beneficial interest in the Securities by a retail client, in each case other than as permitted by COBS;
or (ii) result in a breach by the Issuer, the Dealers or any other person of COBS. References to
COBS in this paragraph shall be deemed to include the amendments to COBS as contemplated by
the Temporary Marketing Restriction (Contingent Convertible Securities) Instrument 2014 as if
such instrument, which will come into force on 1 October 2014, was currently in force.
This document constitutes the Pricing Supplement relating to the issue of the Tranche of Securities
described herein for the purposes of listing on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange. Terms used
herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the terms and conditions (the
"Conditions") set forth in the Offering Memorandum dated 2 September 2014 in relation to the above
Programme (incorporating the Registration Document (together, the "Offering Memorandum"). This
