RBS ETN Performance as of 04/10/15
RBS Trendpilot[] Exchange Traded Notes ([]ETNs[]) track an RBS Trendpilot[]
 Index. As described in more detail below, RBS Trendpilot[] Indices alternate
 between tracking a Benchmark Index and the yield on a hypothetical notional
 investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury Bills as of the most recent weekly auction
 (the []Cash Rate[]), depending on the performance of the Benchmark Index
 relative to its 100- or 200 Index business day simple moving average ([]SMA[])
 , as applicable.

The tables above present the actual performance of the respective indices and
 RBS ETNs as of the specified dates and periods. For information regarding the
 performance of each Index, please refer to the relevant pricing supplement
 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ([]SEC[]). Past
 performance does not guarantee future results.
*Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference in, and
 should not be considered a part of, this document.
(1) Includes the deduction of the annual investor fee, which accrues on a daily
 basis. The annual investor fee is equal to: (i)(a) 1.00% per annum when the RBS
 US Large Cap Trendpilot TM Index (USD), RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot TM Index
 (USD), RBS Gold Trendpilot TM Index (USD) and the RBS NASDAQ -100 � Trendpilot
 TM Index (USD) are tracking their respective Benchmark Indices and (b) 1.10%
 per annum when the RBS Oil Trendpilot TM Index (USD) and RBS China Trendpilot
 TM Index (USD) are tracking their respective Benchmark Indices; and (ii) 0.50%
 per annum when any of these Trendpilot TM Indices are tracking the Cash Rate.
(2) These percentages are calculated for the periods indicated based on the
 levels of the respective Indices through the close of business on the date set
 forth at the top of this fact sheet (the []measurement date[]). More
 specifically, the Index Weekly Return is calculated using the level of the
 relevant Trendpilot TM Index at the close of business on the last Index
 business day of the week prior to the measurement date through the measurement
 date; the Index Month to Date Return is calculated from the last Index business
 day of the month prior to the measurement date through the measurement date;
 and the Index Year to Date Return is calculated from the last Index business
 day of the year prior to the measurement date through the measurement date.
(3) These dates are those on which the relevant Trendpilot TM Index implemented
 the change in the reference exposure (i.e., the Index Return Source) following
 a Benchmark Index trend switch. The Trendpilot[] Index will implement the
 change in the reference exposure at the open of trading on the second Index
 business day immediately following the business day on which the Benchmark
 Index trend switches from positive to negative or from negative to positive, as
 the case may be.
(4) The []Index Return Source[] is either the Benchmark Index (if the Benchmark
 Index is in a positive trend) or the Cash Rate (if the Benchmark Index is in a
 negative trend).

CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an
 investment in conventional debt securities, including a possible loss of some
 or all of your investment. The level of the relevant Index must increase by an
 amount sufficient to offset the aggregate investor fee applicable to the RBS
 ETNs in order for you to receive at least the principal amount of your
 investment back at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption. The RBS Oil
 Trendpilot TM ETNs and the RBS Oil Trendpilot TM Index (USD) do not provide
 exposure to spot prices of crude oil and, consequently, may not be
 representative of an investment that provides exposure to crude oil. Each
 Trendpilot[] Index may underperform its respective Benchmark Index, and is
 expected to perform poorly in volatile markets. The RBS China Trendpilot[] ETNs
 involve risks associated with an investment in emerging markets, as well as
 currency exchange risk. Even though the RBS ETNs are listed on the NYSE Arca, a
 trading market may not develop and the liquidity of the RBS ETNs may be limited
 and/or vary over time, as RBS plc is not required to maintain any listing of
 the RBS ETNs. The RBS ETNs are not principal protected and do not pay interest.
 Any payment on the RBS ETNs is subject to the ability of the applicable issuer
 and guarantor to pay their respective obligations when they become due. You
 should carefully consider whether the RBS ETNs are suited to your particular
 circumstances before you decide to purchase them. We urge you to consult with
 your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any
 investment in the RBS ETNs. The RBS ETNs are not suitable for all investors.
 You should carefully read the relevant pricing supplement and prospectus,
 including the more detailed explanation of the risks involved in any investment
 in the RBS ETNs as described in the []Risk Factors[] section of the applicable
 pricing supplement, before investing.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS plc) and The Royal
 Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS Group) have filed a registration statement
 (including a prospectus) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
 for the offering of RBS ETNs to which this communication relates. Before you
 invest in any RBS ETNs, you should read the prospectus in that registration
 statement and other documents that have been filed by RBS plc and RBS Group
 with the SEC for more complete information about RBS plc and RBS Group, and the
 offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC[]s
 web site at www.sec.gov . Alternatively, RBS plc, RBS Securities Inc. (RBSSI)
 or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the
 prospectus and the pricing supplement at no charge if you request it by calling
 1-855-RBS-ETPS (toll-free).

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: On June 13, 2013, we announced that we would be exiting the
 structured retail investor products business that is responsible for issuing
 and maintaining the RBS ETNs, and that we expect to move such business into a
 runoff organization which will go through a process of restructuring and / or
 business sales (the []RBS Retail Investor Products Exit Plan[]). The
 implementation of the RBS Retail Investor Products Exit Plan increases the
 likelihood that the RBS ETNs will be redeemed by us prior to maturity. We plan
 to continue to maintain and issue the RBS ETNs, but our plans could change. We
 cannot give you any assurances as to any minimum period of time that you may
 hold the RBS ETNs before we redeem them at our option.
