Important Information

The financial instruments that give capital protection and returns (if any) do not have any guarantees. Past performance is not necessarily a reliable guide of future performance. If the strategy experiences a severe loss and its value falls to the value of the prevailing zero coupon bond (i.e. the asset necessary to ensure the capital protected amount), the full amount invested in the strategy would be switched to the zero coupon bond for the remaining period of the MTN to secure the capital. If this happens no gain will be made from that point onwards and you will only receive back your initial capital in euro.

A prospective purchaser of this MTN should carefully consider all the risks associated with any investment in these Notes. Any subscription in the MTN is to be made on the basis of the Prospectus dated April 2008 relevant to this offer, the Base Prospectus dated 2 August 2007 and subsequent Supplements issued by HSBC Bank plc, which will be made available to customers on request.
