RBS Rogers Enhanced Precious Metals ETN (RGRP)

[GRAPHIC OMITTED]

ETN Overview:

The RBS Rogers Enhanced Precious Metals Exchange Traded Notes ("RBS ETNs") track
the RICI Enhanced(SM) Precious Metals Total Return Index (the "Index") which
provides exposure to four commodities in the precious metals futures market,
plus the rate of interest that could be earned on cash collateral invested in
Treasury Bills. The Index, designed in cooperation with prominent stock market
and commodities investor Jim Rogers and RBS, attempts to track price changes for
precious metals commodities.

RICI Enhanced(SM) Precious Metals Total Return Index Features

Strategy: The RBS ETNs are designed to provide commodity exposure on the basis
of expected economic global demand. By investing in futures contracts with
varying maturities, the Index seeks to maximize returns when there are
signi[]cant price differences between near-dated and future- dated commodity
contracts. This is unlike many commodity-linked investments in the market today
which invest solely in front month contracts. A special rollover calendar
de[]nes speci[]c selection criteria for each commodity contract, including term
structure.

Commodity weightings: The individual commodity weightings are determined on the
basis of the expected economic global demand for each commodity.

Rebalancing: The commodity weightings are reset to their target weights on a
semi-annual basis.

Rules-based: Yes. The Index applies a rollover calendar to select contracts for
each commodity.

Index Committee: Jim Rogers and the Index Committee annually review and adjust,
as necessary, the composition of the Index. The objective of the Index is to
track the price of commodities worldwide.

Determining the rollover calendar for individual commodities

All available futures contracts

Contracts are selected according to the individual rollover calendar for each
commodity. Rollover based on liquidity and futures curves. (term structure)

Standard deviation is a measure of volatility, and illustrates the extent of
variation (whether higher or lower) that exists from the average given set of
results. A low standard deviation indicates that the results tend to be very
close to the average result (a low degree of volatility). In contrast, a high
standard deviation indicates that the results are spread out over a large range
of outcomes (a high degree of volatility). Because the standard deviation is
based on historical data, it may not predict variability in annualized
performance of the RBS ETNs in the future.

CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an
investment in conventional debt securities, including a possible loss of some or
all of your investment. The level of the Index must increase by an amount
suf[]cient to offset the aggregate investor fee applicable to the RBS ETNs in
order for you to receive at least the principal amount of your investment back
at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption. The RBS ETNs and the Index
do not provide exposure to spot prices of the relevant commodities and,
consequently, may not be representative of an investment that provides exposure
to the spot prices of the relevant commodities or buying and holding the
relevant commodities. The prices of commodities are volatile and are affected by
numerous factors. The Index may include futures contracts on non-U.S. exchanges
and trading on such exchanges may be subject to different and greater risks than
trading on U.S. exchanges. Even though the RBS ETNs are listed on the NYSE Arca,
a trading market may not develop and the liquidity of the RBS ETNs may be
limited and/or vary over time, as RBS plc is not required to maintain any
listing of the RBS ETNs. The RBS ETNs are not principal protected and do not pay
interest. Any payment on the RBS ETNs is subject to the ability of RBS plc, as
the issuer, and RBS Group, as the guarantor, to pay their respective obligations
when they become due. You should carefully consider whether the RBS ETNs are
suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. We
urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other
advisors with respect to any investment in the RBS ETNs. The RBS ETNs are not
suitable for all investors. You should carefully read the relevant pricing
supplement and prospectus, including the more detailed explanation of the risks
involved in any investment in the RBS ETNs as described in the "Risk Factors"
section of the pricing supplement, before investing. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: RBS
plc and RBS Group have []led a registration statement (including a prospectus)
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the offering of RBS
ETNs to which this communication relates. Before you invest in any RBS ETNs, you
should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents
that have been []led by RBS plc and RBS Group with the SEC for more complete
information about RBS plc and RBS Group, and the offering. You may get these
documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov.
Alternatively, RBS plc, RBS Securities Inc. (RBSSI) or any dealer participating
in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus and the pricing
supplement at no charge if you request it by calling 1-855-RBS-ETPS (toll-free).
