 resolution regime (the “SRR”). These powers enable the Relevant U.K.
Resolution Authority to implement various resolution measures and stabilization options (including, but not limited to, the bail-in tool) with respect to a U.K. bank or investment firm and certain of its
affiliates (currently including the Issuer) (each a “relevant entity”) in circumstances in which the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority is satisfied that the relevant resolution conditions are met.

The SRR consists of five stabilization options: (i) private sector transfer of all or part of the business or shares of the relevant
entity, (ii) transfer of all or part of the business of the relevant entity to a “bridge bank” established by the Bank of England, (iii) transfer to an asset management vehicle wholly or partly owned by HM Treasury or the Bank of
England, (iv) the bail-in tool (as described below) and (v) temporary public ownership (nationalization).

S-28

The Banking Act also provides for additional insolvency and administration procedures for
relevant entities and for certain ancillary powers, such as the power to modify contractual arrangements in certain circumstances (which could include a variation of the terms of any notes), powers to impose temporary suspension of payments, powers
to suspend enforcement or termination rights that might be invoked as a result of the exercise of the resolution powers and powers for the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority to disapply or modify laws in the U.K. (with possible retrospective effect)
to enable the powers under the Banking Act to be used effectively.

Holders of notes should assume that, in a resolution situation,
financial public support will only be available to a relevant entity as a last resort after the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority has assessed and used, to the maximum extent practicable, the resolution tools, including the bail-in tool.

The exercise of any resolution power or any suggestion of any such exercise could
materially adversely affect the value of any notes and could lead to holders of notes losing some or all of the value of their investment in such notes.

Resolution powers triggered prior to insolvency may not be anticipated and holders may have only limited rights to challenge them.

The resolution powers conferred by the SRR are intended to be used prior to the point at which any insolvency proceedings with respect to the
relevant entity could have been initiated. The purpose of the resolution powers is to address the situation where all or part of a business of a relevant entity has encountered, or is likely to encounter, financial difficulties,
