Return of capital linked to the performance of the FTSE 100™ (the Index). The top ten FTSE 100 companies as at 8th February 2012 were AstraZeneca, BG Group, BHP Billiton, BP plc, British American Tobacco, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC Holdings, Rio Tinto, Royal Dutch Shell (Class A shares) and Vodafone. These account for slightly under 45% of the FTSE 100 by index weighting. Early maturity will be triggered if on any Annual Measurement Date, the closing levels of at least eight of the ten Shares are equal to or greater than their Opening Levels, at which point the Plan will make a growth payment of 15% for each year it has been in force. 100% capital return provided the Final Level of the FTSE 100 is not more than 50% below its Opening Level. In the event of a capital loss occurring, capital will be reduced by the same percentage that the Final Level of the FTSE 100 is below its Opening Level. Available to 11th April 2012 Target Market This investment could be suitable as part of an investment portfolio for investors who understand and are used to equity based investments, and are able to invest for a period of up to six years, and are prepared to accept investment risk to their capital in return for a higher potential growth than would be available via a deposit based investment Key Dates Offer period ISA Applications 28th March 2012 – ISA transfer applications 5th April 2012 – 2011/2012 ISA applications with bank transfers or cheques 2012/2013 ISA applications with cheques 11th April 2012 – 2012/2013 ISA applications with bank transfers All other Applications 5th April 2012 – applications with cheques 11th April 2012 – applications with bank transfers Strike Date & Opening Levels Close of Business on 13th April 2012 Final Levels Close of Business on 13th April 2018 Annual measurement dates Close of Business on 15th April 2013, 14th April 2014, 13th April 2015, 13th April 2016, 13th April 2017 Maturity date 27th April 2018 http://www.meteoram.com You should refer to the brochure which contains full details of the Premium Kick-Out Plan.

Investment Return 15% per annum (simple) for each year the Plan is in force, so the returns at each possible early maturity date would be 15% (end of year 1), 30% (end of year 2), 45% (end of year 3); 60% (end of year 4); 75% (end of year 5) or if the plan runs a full six year term and the Final Levels of eight or more shares are at or above their respective Opening Levels, 90%. If the plan has not kicked out early and the Final Levels of three or more Shares are below their respective Opening Levels, no investment return will be payable. Capital Return Capital will be returned in full as long as the Final Level of the FTSE 100™ is at or above 50% of its Opening Level. If not, capital will be reduced by the same percentage the Final Level of the index is below its Opening Level. Please see the brochure for a full explanation of the calculation.
