Summary
 
• The Plan is a structured deposit. Your investment capital will be placed on deposit with Barclays Bank plc, the Deposit Taker.

 No interest is payable on the deposit until the Plan's maturity date. Under the contract entered into between the Plan Manager and the Deposit Taker an interest payment may be paid on the maturity of the Plan.

 The payment of interest is linked to the performance of the FTSE™ 100 Index ("the Index").

 You will receive an interest payment on the basis of 1% for any 1% increase or decrease in the Index up to either an increase of 40% or a decrease of 40%. If the Index closes on 24 May 2017 at more than 40% above its Initial Level or more than 40% below its Initial Level you will only receive your original capital back.

 The return of your capital is not affected by the performance of the Index. Therefore, on the maturity of the Plan whatever the Final Level of the Index is, you will still be repaid 100% of your original capital. This repayment is subject to the continuing solvency of Barclays Bank plc. If Barclays Bank plc goes bankrupt, i.e. becomes insolvent, it may be unable to repay your investment. This is know as Counterparty Risk. If this occurs, you may lose some or all of your investment. You will not be entitled to compensation under the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme if Merchant Capital Limited and/or Barclays Bank plc becomes insolvent.

 The Plan is designed to be held until the Maturity Date. If you cash in your investment in the Plan before the Maturity Date the sum you receive may not reflect the performance of the Index on the date you cash in and could be substantially less than the amount you invested in the Plan.

 Illustrations showing examples of the potential returns that may apply in certain circumstances are shown on page 6 of the plan brochure.


Considerations for Investing

If the following statements apply then an investment in the plan may be appropriate:

• You understand that any interest payment on the Plan depends on the performance of the Index.

• You understand that your investment in the Plan will NOT provide you with regular income.

• You can afford to leave your money invested in the Plan for the next 5 years and 3 months.

• You understand that you may not be able to cash in your investment in the Plan, but if you can and do cash it in before the Maturity Date the sum you will get might not reflect the performance of the Index to the date on which you cash in and you could receive less than the amount you invested in the Plan.
