RBS plc previously disclosed in the related pricing supplement for each ETN its expectation that it would redeem the ETNs. The expected redemption is a consequence of RBS plc's exit of the structured retail investor products business.
RBS plc expects to provide notice of redemption to the trustee and to the holders of the ETNs via The Depository Trust Company on June 29, 2015. The daily redemption value of each ETN will be determined on its applicable valuation date. Payment of the daily redemption value of each ETN is expected to be made on the sixth business day following the date of the notice of redemption, which is expected to be July 7, 2015. Accordingly, the last day of trading for each ETN is expected to be July 6, 2015.
Daily creations of each of the ETNs are suspended, effective immediately. Repurchases at the option of investors will be accepted in the normal manner up to and including June 29, 2015.
