3 Why invest in the Harbour USD Eurostoxx50 Autocall? The Autocall is a structured product listed on the LSE, designed to provide investors with an attractive return even if the market makes only modest returns over the investment term. Global interest rates remain at all-time lows and a defined enhanced return, in USD, is paid in the event of any positive equity market performance on a predetermined Automatic Early Redemption Settlement Date (as defined in the Terms below). The Autocall offers investors the potential to earn significantly enhanced returns relative to cash and fixed income investments. How is the return calculated? The initial level of the Index is recorded on the Strike Date ( Initial Index Level ) and the closing level of the Index is then observed at each Exercise Date; this will be the basis for calculating whether the Index has risen or fallen over the investment period. The Initial Index Level and Final Index Level are the closing level of the Eurostoxx50 Index as published by Bloomberg on the relevant dates. If the Index level is higher than the Initial Index Level on any of the Exercise Dates, the investment will redeem early and pay an amount equal to the investor s initial capital investment plus a predefined return of 10% in USD. For example, if on the first Exercise Date the Index level has increased by 5%, investors will receive their initial capital plus an enhanced return of 10%. If however, the Index level on the Exercise Date is below the Initial Index Level, then the investment remains intact and continues to the next Automatic Redemption Valuation Date. On the second Exercise Date, the Index level is again reviewed. If the Index is above the Initial Index level, the investment will redeem and the investor will receive two times the enhanced return of 10% (2 x 10%). If the Autocall has not been redeemed at the end of five years and the Index is equal to or below the Initial Index Level at expiry, the investment redeems and investors will receive 100% of their initial investment in USD, provided the Index has not fallen below 70% of the Initial Index Level ( Barrier ). 3

4 What happens if the Barrier is breached? If the Index falls by more than 30% at the close of business on the Maturity Date, the investor will have exposure to the downside on a one for one basis. For example, if the Index level falls 40% and ends down 40% on the Expiry Date, the investor will make a capital loss of 40% at maturity. What are the risks of the Harbour USD Eurostoxx50 Autocall? The Autocall provides capital protection only in the event that the Index does not fall by more than 30% below the Initial Index Level at maturity. If the Index falls below this level, the capital protection falls away and the investor is exposed to the full downside of the Index at expiry. Sales of the investment before the relevant Exercise Date or Final Maturity Date may result in a capital loss even if the product is capital protected (the capital protection is only at expiry). The Index value fluctuates and changes to these levels cannot be predicted. Past performance of the Index should not be seen as an indication of future performance. Investors should note that the Autocall is a listed instrument under the Investec Bank Plc Zebra Capital Plans Retail Structured Products Programme ( Base Prospectus ) and that they take full credit risk on Barclays Plc. The enhanced returns, on each Exercise Date are fixed as per the Terms set out below and investors will not get any additional benefit in the growth of the Index above the Initial Index Level. Is this investment right for you? This investment may be right for you if: You think that the Eurostoxx50 Index will be above current levels over the next five years. You are looking for an investment that offers enhanced upside and potential to limit the downside exposure. You do not need immediate access to your money for the term of the investment. You have a minimum of USD 10,000 to invest. This investment may not be right for you if: You want 100% capital protection under all conditions. You think the Eurostoxx50 Index may be up more than 10% per annum. You want to receive regular dividends and income. You cannot commit to the full term of the investment. You do not want to take exchange rate risk. You do not want to take credit risk on Barclays Bank Plc If you are unsure how this listed instrument works or whether it is suitable for your investment needs please seek advice from your investment manager. 4

5 How to invest and monitor the investment? By reading this brochure and by completing and signing the attached application form and returning it to your investment manager by the due date. As the Autocall is listed on the LSE, Investec Bank Plc will be making an unwind price available daily. Statements will be sent to you by your stockbroker monthly and will contain details of the number of Autocalls you hold and the closing level of the Index on the LSE for the month. What fees are charged? Harbour Advisory receives a distribution fee of 1.25% upfront (ex. Vat), paid by Investec Corporate and Institutional Banking, a division of Investec Bank Limited ( IBL ), who has been appointed by Investec Bank Plc as dealer under the Base Prospectus for purposes of the Autocalls. This fee is built into the cost of the Autocall and the investor will have 100% of their funds allocated to the product. All other listing, administration and ongoing custody fees have been priced into the product, however investors will pay brokerage costs if the investment is sold before the Final Maturity Date. How is the Autocall taxed? It is incumbent upon potential investors to seek independent professional legal, tax and accounting advice so as to consider the investment in the light of the investor s particular circumstances. Prospective investors should obtain independent advice in respect of the tax treatment of this product. Investec Bank Plc and IBL provide no investment, tax or legal advice and make no representation or warranty about the suitability of this product for a particular client or circumstance. What happens at expiry? When the Autocall expires or redeems early, on any Exercise Date, under the conditions set out above, the relevant settlement amount will be credited to the investor s stockbroking account. Important Notes An enhanced return level of 10% will be targeted, however due to the volatile nature of the underlying Index, we reserve the right not to proceed on Strike Date should the level of the enhanced return be below 9.00%. While Investec Bank Plc does provide a daily price for the product, the nature of the product is such that the capital protection is only available at expiry. During the life of the product the value could be lower than the stated protection level irrespective of the Index level at the time. Investec Bank Plc will provide bid and offer prices for the product under normal market conditions (subject to internal policy and applicable laws and regulations), however liquidity could be limited. 5
