The plan starts on the Start Date. On a Measurement Date, if the level of the Index is at or above a defined percentage of its Start Level, the plan will end and pay Growth equal to 6.55% of the money invested for every year the plan has been in force. This is called a Kick Out and the barrier level is called the Kick Out Barrier. The first date this can happen is two years after the start date.
If the plan reaches the End Date, the Index will be measured for the last time. If the End Level of the Index is at or above 70% of its Start Level, the plan will pay Growth equal to 32.75% of the money invested, otherwise, no Growth will be achieved.
Customers will get all their invested money back on a Kick Out; or, at the End Date if the End Level of the Index is at or above 65% of its Start Level. This barrier level is called the Loss Barrier.
If the End Level of the Index is below 65% of its Start Level, customers will lose money proportional to the fall in the Index.
The Securities purchased will be Notes issued by Barclays Bank plc. These Securities can be viewed in a similar way to a loan to the Issuer and are linked to the performance of Preference Shares of a Special Purpose Vehicle company – Teal Investments Limited, which is in turn linked to the performance of the Index.
It is possible that the Counterparty could collapse or fail to make the payments due from the Plan. If this happened, the investor would lose some, or all, of the money they invest in the Plan, as well as, any income payments to which they might otherwise have become entitled.
It is MB Structured Investment’s understanding that any income payments from a direct investment by individuals or Trusts into this Plan are expected to be subject to Capital Gains Tax.

The product is designed to provide a return in the form of a cash payment on termination of the product. The timing and amount of this payment will depend on the change in value of the preference shares, which in turn will depend on the performance of the underlying. The product has a fixed term and will terminate on the maturity date, unless terminated early. If, at maturity, the final reference level of the underlying has fallen below the barrier level, the product may return less than the product notional amount or even zero.
Early termination following an autocall: The product will terminate prior to the maturity date if, on any autocall observation date, the reference level is at or above the relevant autocall barrier level. On any such early termination, you will on the immediately following autocall payment date receive a cash payment equal to the applicable autocall payment. The relevant dates, autocall barrier levels and autocall payments are shown in the table(s) in the key information document.
Termination on the maturity date: If the product has not terminated early, on the maturity date you will receive:
1. if the final reference level is at or above the barrier level, a cash payment equal to GBP 1; or
2. if the final reference level is below the barrier level, a cash payment directly linked to the performance of the underlying. The cash payment will equal (i) the product notional amount multiplied by (ii) (A) the final reference level divided by (B) the strike level.
Investors should note that the payments described above are based on the expected value of the preference shares. Therefore any return you may receive on the product depends directly on the value of the preference shares. As such, your return is only indirectly dependent on the underlying.
Under the product terms, certain dates specified above and below will be adjusted if the respective date is either not a business day or not a trading day (as applicable). Any adjustments may affect the return, if any, you receive.
The product terms also provide that if certain exceptional events occur (1) adjustments may be made to the product and/or (2) the issuer may terminate the product, as applicable, early. These events are specified in the product terms and principally relate to the product and the issuer. The preference shares in turn contain provisions allowing the preference shares to be adjusted or terminated early in the case of certain exceptional events, in particular relating to the underlying. Any such adjustments or early termination are likely to affect the amount and timing of return you receive under the product, meaning the return (if any) that you receive on such early termination is likely to be different from the scenarios described above and may be less than the amount you invested.
For display purposes numbers within this document have been cut off at 4 decimal places.

3. they are able to bear a total loss of their initial investment, consistent with the redemption profile of the product at maturity (market risk);
4. they accept the risk that the issuer could fail to pay or perform its obligations under the product irrespective of the redemption profile of the product (credit risk);
5. they are willing to accept a level of risk of 5 out of 7 to achieve potential returns, which reflects a medium-high risk (as shown in the summary risk indicator in the key information document which takes into account both market risk and credit risk).

This is a list of the general risks associated with investing in structured investment products, please read the plan brochure and key information document for your chosen product to fully understand the risks.
Market Risk: In the event of a global economic recession this may result in financial markets weakening significantly. Political or climatic events can also cause disruption to the markets. Economic policies, tax rates or interest rates are subject to change and can influence the performance of the Underlying Asset.
Early Redemption Risk: The actual risk can vary significantly. If you cash in at an early stage you may get less Initial Capital back. You may not be able to sell your Plan easily or have to sell at a price that will impact how much return you get back.
Inflation Risk: The value of your investment and any returns you may qualify for are not linked to inflation. If inflation is high over the term of the Plan, the real value of the Plan may decrease thus affecting the real value of any returns you may receive.
Counterparty Risk: By investing in this Plan you take a possible credit risk with the Counterparty. The Counterparty will be responsible for the payment of any return of capital and income payments due from the Investment. In the event of bankruptcy or payment default by the Counterparty you may be exposed to partial or total loss of capital and you would not be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
Liquidity Risk: The Issuer of the Securities aims to provide but cannot guarantee a secondary market for the Securities during the investment term. However, certain market circumstances may have a negative impact on the liquidity of the Securities and result in the partial or total loss of your initial capital invested.
Structured Products are designed to be held to the end of the fixed term, it is possible to cash in the plan early however you could get back less than you originally invested.

However if you cancel the plan after it has started it is possible that you will receive back less than your original investment, irrespective of whether you cancel within the 14 day period or not.
When the plan ends you will be contacted by the company that holds your investment and will usually be given the following options;
– Re-invest into a new product with the same company if they have one available at the time
– Request that they return the proceeds in full to you (any ISA funds returned will lose their ISA status)
– Re-invest part of the money into a new plan and encash the rest

A Structured Product is a fixed term product which usually runs for between 2-10 years. The return of your original capital and any income/growth payments are usually dependant on the performance of either a basket of shares or more commonly a specific index such as the FTSE 100.
There are two types of Structured Products available:
♦ Investment based
♦ Deposit based
Investment based: At the end of the term, you receive the product return from the company that holds the investment plus a return of capital, providing certain criteria has been met.
The product is issued in association with a third party, known as a ‘counterparty’ who provide the returns and the guarantees. If this third party goes bankrupt, you could lose some or all of your money. This type of product does not benefit from Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection
Deposit based: Deposit based plans are similar to Structured Investment Products, however UK investors may benefit from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme’s (FSCS) deposit insurance scheme, subject to certain limits.
