SUMMARY

The following is a summary of this prospectus supplement and should be read as an introduction to, and in conjunction with, the remainder of this prospectus supplement,
the accompanying prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference therein. You should base your investment decision on a consideration of this prospectus
supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference therein, as a whole.

We will issue the notes under the Dated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture to be entered into prior to or on October 14, 2010 between us and The Bank of New York
Mellon, as trustee (the "Indenture"). The terms of the notes include those stated in the Indenture and any supplements thereto, and those terms made part of the Indenture by
reference to the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). We will file the Indenture as an exhibit to a current report on Form 6-K. The
Indenture replaces the Dated Subordinated Debt Securities Indenture dated as of June 30, 1998 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee, which is described
in the accompanying prospectus.

Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the notes in detail. This summary is subject to, and qualified by reference to, all of the definitions and
provisions of the Indenture, any supplement thereto and the notes. Certain terms used in this prospectus supplement (including in this "Summary" section), unless otherwise
defined herein, have the meaning given to them in the Indenture. Words and expressions defined in "Description of Lower Tier 2 Notes" below shall have the same
meanings in this summary.

one of the largest financial services companies in the world by market capitalization.

The Securities We Are Offering
We are offering $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.140% Lower Tier 2 Notes due October
2020. The notes will constitute a series of Dated Subordinated Debt Securities issued under the Indenture.

Issue Date
October 14, 2010

We will pay the notes at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on October 14, 2020.

creditors, including any claims related to our senior indebtedness, except for:

·
claims in respect of Existing Senior Subordinated Obligations (as defined in the Indenture), Capital
Note Claims (as defined in the Indenture) and any other claims ranking or expressed to rank pari

passu therewith and/or with claims in respect of the notes ("Dated Debt Other Pari Passu Claims");
and

·
any other claims ranking junior to the excepted claims referred to in the immediately preceding bullet

point and/or to claims in respect of the notes.

The claims of such other creditors, with the exceptions of the claims specified in the foregoing two bullet
points, are referred to in this prospectus supplement as "Dated Debt Senior Claims." Accordingly, no
amount will be payable in our winding up in respect of claims in relation to the notes until all Dated Debt
Senior Claims admitted in our winding up have been satisfied.

Regulatory Event Redemption
We may, at our option, redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at 101% of their principal amount,
together with any accrued but unpaid interest on October 14, 2015 if a Regulatory Event has occurred on or
prior to such date. A "Regulatory Event" means any event (including any amendment to, clarification of, or
change (including any announced prospective change or adoption of any announced prospective change) in
applicable laws or regulations or official interpretations thereof, or policies with respect thereto, or any
official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or
regulations, including any pronouncement or publication from any relevant authority) that occurs after the
issue date of the notes that for any reason results in there being more than an insubstantial risk, or in any
increase in risk, that, for the purposes of the capital adequacy requirements of the FSA, all or any part of
the notes may not be included in Lower Tier 2 Capital, as reasonably determined by us.

Any redemption of the notes or other repayment of amounts due under the notes prior to their scheduled
maturity date, under the practice of the FSA prevailing as of the date of this prospectus supplement, will be
subject to our providing to the FSA, at least one month before we become committed to the repayment,
notice in writing (in the form required by the FSA) of the proposed repayment, detailing how, following
such repayment, we will (1) continue to meet our capital resources requirement and (2) have sufficient
overall financial resources, including capital and liquidity resources which are adequate both as to the
amount and quality, to ensure that there is no significant risk that our liabilities cannot be met as they fall
due.

Tax Redemption
In the event of various tax law changes and other limited circumstances that require us to pay additional
amounts as described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of Lower Tier 2 Notes
RedemptionTax Redemption," we may call all, but not less than all, the notes for redemption prior to
maturity.

Event of Default and Defaults
