Approval by the FCA should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuers or the Guarantor or of the quality of the Notes which are the subject of this Supplement. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Notes.

To the extent that there is any inconsistency between (i) any statement in this Supplement and (ii) any other statement in the Base Prospectus, the statements in (i) above will prevail.
