Your commitment
You must be able to commit a sum of at least £1,500 for the full 5 years.
3FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan 20
Plan overview
The Plan is designed to repay your initial investment and deliver a return if the FTSE 100 increases over
the Plan Term or if the Plan matures early.
There are two Plan options available: the Investec option and the UK Banks option. The UK Banks
option is designed to reduce the risk of potential loss to your investment in the event that Investec fails or
becomes insolvent. The risk to your investment will instead be dependent on the solvency of the named
UK 5 (HSBC Bank plc, Barclays Bank plc, Santander UK plc, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and
Lloyds TSB Bank plc).
For both options:
• If at the end of years 1, 2, 3 or 4 the FTSE 100 is higher than its starting level the
Plan will mature early with a fixed payment of 10.75% per annum (Investec option)
or 9.75% per annum (UK Banks option), not compounded.
• If the Plan does not mature early and runs for the full 5 years, the return is 120%
of any FTSE 100 growth.
Both options also aim to return your initial investment at maturity.
However, if the FTSE 100 falls by more than 50% from the starting level at any point during the
Plan and finishes lower than the starting level, your initial investment will be reduced by 1% for
every 1% fall in the FTSE 100 at the end of the Plan.
4UK Banks option
Protection of your investment against the insolvency of Investec
In the event that Investec fails or becomes insolvent, the UK Banks option is designed to protect
against the loss of your investment. This is achieved by the existence of a portfolio of securities issued
by each of the UK 5 and/or cash and/or UK government debt. We refer to this portfolio as the ‘Collateral’.
The Collateral is held by an independent custodian, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. To ensure that the
Collateral is of an equivalent value to your investment, the Collateral will be maintained daily. If Investec were
to fail or become insolvent, the Collateral will be used to protect your investment value at that time.
Insolvency risk of the UK 5 (HSBC Bank plc, Barclays Bank plc, Santander UK plc,
The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Lloyds TSB Bank plc)
Your investment is linked to the solvency of each of the UK 5. If any of the UK 5 fails or becomes insolvent,
a 20% proportion of your initial investment will be at risk for each insolvency.
The below table shows the credit ratings of the UK 5.

5FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan 20 What are you investing in? You are investing in a 5 year securities-based Plan and your money will be used to buy Securities issued by Investec for both options. Securities are a type of debt issued by a bank. In effect you are lending money to the bank (Investec) for the duration of the Plan. The Securities are designed to generate the Plan returns and Investec is legally obliged to pay to you the Plan returns. Investec is the Plan Manager for both options. None of HSBC Bank plc, Barclays Bank plc, Santander UK plc, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc or Lloyds TSB Bank plc has sponsored or endorsed the Plan or the Securities in any way, nor have any of them undertaken any obligation to perform any regulated activity in relation to the Plan or the Securities. 6
What are the risks of the investment?
• Your initial investment is at risk. If the FTSE 100 falls by more than 50% during the Plan and
finishes lower than the starting level, you will lose some or all of your money.
• If you redeem your investment before the end of the term, you may get back less than the amount
you originally invested.
• Investec option: If Investec fails or becomes insolvent (i.e. goes bankrupt or similar), you could lose
some or all of your money.
• UK Banks option: If any, or all, of the UK 5 fails or becomes insolvent (i.e. goes bankrupt or similar):
a) your investment will be at risk (20% proportion for each of the UK 5); and b) any payment you
receive in relation to the proportion of your investment linked to any insolvency of a UK 5 bank,
may be paid at a time which is different to the Final Maturity Date and may be paid at a time which
is significantly later.
• K Banks option: If Investec fails or becomes insolvent (i.e. goes bankrupt or similar) you must rely
U
on the Collateral for the return of your investment. If the Collateral falls in value after we fail or become
insolvent, it may be insufficient to cover your investment. In this circumstance you could lose some or
all of your money.
• rior to the Start Date, your money will be held with Investec as banker. If we go bankrupt during
P
this period your money will not be protected and you could lose some or all of your money.
• Inflation will reduce what you could buy in the future.
• The past performance of the FTSE 100 is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
• The tax treatment of the Plan could change at any time.
7FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan 20 What is the FTSE 100 Index? The FTSE 100 Index is a widely used benchmark for the UK stock market. The Index measures the performance of the shares of the 100 largest companies traded on the London Stock Exchange. The FTSE 100 is a highly international index which includes global leaders such as HSBC, Vodafone, Royal Dutch Shell and GlaxoSmithKline. As a whole, the companies that comprise the FTSE 100 derive more than two thirds of their revenues from outside the UK and therefore provide exposure to the world economy as well as the UK. 8

9FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan 20
How does the Plan work? continued
For both options: The Initial Index Level is recorded at the start of the Plan and is the closing level of the
FTSE 100 on 20 June 2011.
Early Maturity
If at the end of years 1, 2, 3 or 4 the Kick-Out Level is above the Initial Index Level the Plan will mature
early and you will receive back your initial investment plus 10.75% (Investec option) or 9.75% (UK Banks
option) per annum.
At the end of years 1, 2, 3, and 4 we will use the level of the FTSE 100 to calculate the Kick-Out Levels.
The Kick-Out Levels are the average of the closing levels of the FTSE 100 on the relevant Kick-Out Date
and the four previous Business Days. The Kick-Out Dates are 20 June 2012, 20 June 2013, 20 June 2014
and 22 June 2015.
For both options, if the Kick-Out Level is equal to or below the Initial Index Level, the Plan will continue.
Maturity after 5 Years
If the Plan continues to the end of year 5, the level of the FTSE 100 is used to calculate the Final Index Level.
The Final Index Level is the average of the closing levels of the FTSE 100 on each Business Day between
24 December 2015 and 24 June 2016, both days inclusive.
For both options:
• If the Final Index Level is higher than the Initial Index Level, you will receive back your initial
investment plus 120% of any FTSE 100 growth.
• If the Final Index Level is equal to or lower than the Initial Index Level, you will receive back your
initial investment with no additional return, as long as the FTSE 100 has not fallen by more than
50% from the starting level during the Observation Period.
10• If the Final Index Level is lower than the Initial Index Level and the FTSE 100 has fallen by more
than 50% from the starting level during the Observation Period, then your initial investment will be
reduced by 1% for every 1% fall (including partial percentages).
The Observation Period is the closing level of the FTSE 100 on each business day between 21 June 2011
and 24 June 2016, inclusive.
The use of averaging can reduce adverse effects of a falling market or sudden market falls shortly before maturity.
Equally, it can reduce the benefits of an increasing market or sudden market rises shortly before maturity.
11FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan 20 How does the UK Banks option differ? The UK Banks option works in the same way as the Investec option but is designed to reduce the risk of potential loss to your investment in the event that Investec fails or becomes insolvent. The risk to your investment will instead be dependent on the solvency of the named UK 5. Protection of your investment against the insolvency of Investec In the event that Investec fails or becomes insolvent the Collateral will reduce the risk of potential loss to your investment. The Collateral will be valued daily by Investec to ensure it is of an equivalent value to your investment and will be held by Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch as independent custodian. Investec will be required to post additional Collateral if there is a shortfall in the value of the Collateral compared to the fair market value of the Plan. Any withdrawals or substitutions in relation to the Collateral will be verified by an independent verification agent, Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch. If Investec were to fail or become insolvent, then the Collateral could be accessed and used to protect your investment value at that time. Insolvency risk of the UK 5 The return of your investment will depend on the solvency of each of the UK 5, with a 20% proportion of your investment being linked to each. If one of the UK 5 fails or becomes insolvent during the Plan Term 20% of your investment will be at risk. 12
If any of the UK 5 fail or become insolvent, what might I get back?
20% of your investment will be at risk for each UK 5 bank insolvency. You are likely to get back less than the
full 20% and the amount that you receive could be close to zero. In determining the amount you will receive
and the date on which you will receive such amount Investec will endeavour to treat you as if you had held a
similar retail structured product with the insolvent UK 5 bank. The amount you will receive in relation to that
20% portion of your investment will be determined as per the below:
• pon a UK 5 bank failing or becoming insolvent, Investec will determine the fair and reasonable
U
Value of the 20% portion of the Securities related to the affected UK 5 bank. This determination
will include factors such as the performance of the FTSE 100 up to the date on which the affected
UK 5 bank failed or became insolvent.
• Investec will then determine the Recovery Rate for the affected UK 5 bank. The calculation of the
Recovery Rate may be made at any point prior to or beyond the Final Maturity Date of the Plan.
• he amount you will receive in respect of the affected 20% portion of your investment will be
T
calculated by Investec multiplying the Value by the Recovery Rate.
Below is an example of how the process could work if one of the UK 5 fails or becomes insolvent,
based on an investment of £10,000 where £2,000 of your investment is linked to each of the UK 5.
• he Value of the Securities is determined to be 80%, reflecting a deterioration in market conditions
T
at the time.
• The Recovery Rate of the affected UK 5 bank is determined to be 50%.
• Investec will then multiply the Value by the Recovery Rate, therefore in this example you would
receive back 80% x 50% = 40% of the £2,000 linked to the affected UK 5 bank. This would be
£800 (£2,000 x 40%).
13FTSE 100 Enhanced Kick-Out Plan 20
Are there any compensation arrangements in place?
If Investec (as issuer of the Securities) fails or becomes insolvent, it is highly unlikely that you would be
covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) because you are investing in a security-
based Plan rather than a deposit-based Plan.
There are exceptional circumstances under which you could be covered (subject to eligibility), for example
if Investec Bank plc acting as the Issuer of the Securities or as Plan Manager were also found to have been
in breach of FSA rules.
Further details of the FSCS and eligibility criteria are available at www.fscs.org.uk/consumer.
