Make-Whole Call:

 

Greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, and (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and subject to the right of holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) discounted from their scheduled date of payment to the redemption date on an annual basis (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) using a discount rate equal to the Comparable Government Bond Rate plus 25 basis points, plus, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to such redemption date.

 

“Comparable Government Bond Rate” means the price, expressed as a percentage (rounded to three decimal places, 0.0005 being rounded upwards), at which the gross redemption yield on the Notes, if they were to be purchased at such price on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption, would be equal to the gross redemption yield on such business day of the Comparable Government Bond (as defined below) on the basis of the middle market price of the Comparable Government Bond prevailing at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such business day as determined by an independent investment bank selected by the Company.

 

“Comparable Government Bond” means, in relation to any Comparable Government Bond Rate calculation, at the discretion of an independent investment bank selected by the Company, a United Kingdom government bond whose maturity is closest to the maturity of the Notes, or if such independent investment bank in its discretion considers that such similar bond is not in issue, such other United Kingdom government bond as such independent investment bank may, with the advice of three brokers of, and/or market makers in, United Kingdom government bonds selected by such independent investment bank, determine to be appropriate for determining the Comparable Government Bond Rate.

 

 

 

Price to Public:

 

99.601%

 

 

 

Settlement Date:

 

November 20, 2013 (T+5)

 

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date specified on the cover page of the prospectus supplement, which will be the fifth business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle T+5, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Notes who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing or the succeeding business day should consult their own advisors.

 

 

 

Trade Date:

Currency of Payment:

 

All payments of interest and principal, including any payments made upon any redemption of the Notes, will be made in Sterling, or, if the United Kingdom adopts the euro as its lawful currency, in euro. If Sterling, or in the event the Notes are redenominated into euro, euro is unavailable to the Issuers due to the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the Issuers’ control or the euro is no longer used by the member states of the European Monetary Union that have adopted the euro as their currency or for the settlement of transactions by public institutions within the international banking community, then all payments in respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars until the Sterling or the euro, as the case may be, is again available to the Issuers or so used.

 

 

 

Additional Amounts:

 

The Company will, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, pay additional amounts on the Notes as are necessary in order that the net payment by the Issuers or the paying agent of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a holder who is not a United States person, after withholding or deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed by the United Stated or a taxing authority in the United States will not be less than the amount provided in the Notes to be then due and payable.

 

 

 

Redemption for Tax Reasons:

 

The Company may offer to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes in the event of certain changes in the tax laws of the United States (or any taxing authority in the United States). This redemption would be at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.

 

 

 

Listing:

 

The Issuers intend to apply to list the Notes on the NYSE.
