ETN Overview:

The RBS Rogers Enhanced Agriculture Exchange Traded Notes ("RBS ETNs") track
the RICI Enhanced(SM) Agriculture Total Return Index (the "Index") which
provides exposure to 20 commodities in the agriculture commodity 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 plc, is designed to
track price changes for agriculture commodities.

RICI Enhanced(SM) Agriculture Total Return Index Features

Strategy: The RBS ETNs are designed to provide commodity exposure on the basis
of expected economic global demand. By tracking in futures contracts with
varying maturities, the Index seeks to maximize returns when there are
significant price differences between near-dated and future- dated commodity
contracts. This is unlike many commodity-linked investments in the market today
which track solely front month contracts. A special rollover calendar defines
specific selection criteria for each commodity contract, including term
structure, seasonality and liquidity.

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: 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

Filtering criteria applied based on seasonal patterns and cycles
(for grains)

Liquidity
(except for palm oil)

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

Selected RisK COnsideratiOns: Investing in the RBS ETNs involves a number of
risks. Some of the risks relating to the RBS ETNs are summarized here, but we
urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks described under "Risk
Factors" in the applicable pricing supplement.

You may lose all or a significant portion of your investment: The RBS ETNs are
not principal protected. If the level of the Index decreases, or does not
increase by an amount sufficient to offset the investor fee, you will receive
less, and possibly significantly less, at maturity or upon early repurchase or
redemption than your original investment in the RBS ETNs.

The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional
debt securities. Credit risk of RBS plc and RBS Group: The RBS ETNs are
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of RBS plc, as issuer, and are
guaranteed by RBS Group. You are dependent on RBS plc's ability to pay all
amounts due on the RBS ETNs, and therefore you are subject to the credit risk
of RBS plc and to changes in the market's view of RBS plc's creditworthiness.
In addition, because the RBS ETNs are guaranteed by RBS Group, you are also
dependent on the credit risk of RBS Group in the event that RBS plc fails to
make any payment or delivery required by the terms of the RBS ETNs.

Issuer redemption: RBS plc has the right to redeem or "call" the RBS ETNs, in
whole but not in part, at its sole discretion at any time from the initial
settlement date to and including 10/24/2042. In addition, the implementation of
the RBS Retail Investor Products Exit Plan (as described below under "Recent
Developments") increases the likelihood of our calling the RBS ETNs prior to
maturity.

Strategy Risk: The Index is designed to provide commodity exposure by tracking
the performance of a basket of commodity futures contracts. Under the Index
methodology, the selection and rolling of the futures contracts for each
commodity is based on a formula that was designed to take into account factors
including liquidity, seasonality, and term structure. Additionally because the
Index tracks futures contracts with varying expiration dates, it may perform
poorly in severely backwardated markets when compared to commodity indices that
track futures contracts with expiration dates closer to the front month.

Market Risk: The return on the RBS ETNs will depend on the performance of the
Index and other market conditions. The RBS ETNs will reflect the return of the
underlying RICI Enhanced(SM) Commodity Index, which tracks exchange-traded
futures contracts referencing the commodities traded by the Index. The RBS ETNs
do not track physical commodities or their spot prices. A variety of factors
can lead to a disparity between the expected future price of a commodity and
the spot price at a given time. The RBS ETNs are subject to the risks
associated with investing on US and foreign exchanges and may underperform the
spot and futures market in general.

A trading market for the RBS ETNs may not develop: Although the RBS ETNs are
listed on NYSE Arca, Inc., there is no guarantee that the listing will be
maintained or that a secondary market will develop. RBS plc is not required to
maintain any listing of the RBS ETNs.

No Interest Payments: You will not receive any interest payments on the RBS
ETNs.

Restrictions on your ability to offer RBS ETNs for repurchase by us: You must
offer at least 20,000 RBS ETNs to us for any single repurchase and satisfy the
other requirements described in the applicable pricing supplement for your
repurchase offer to be considered.

Actual trading price or market price may vary significantly from indicative
value and daily redemption value: The indicative value is meant to approximate
the intrinsic economic value of the RBS ETNs from time to time. Any payment on
the RBS ETNs at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption is based on the
daily redemption value, which is determined by the calculation agent. If you
purchase or sell RBS ETNs in the secondary market, you will pay or receive the
market price of an RBS ETN. Factors that may influence the market price of the
RBS ETNs include: the level of the Index; the performance of, and volatility
in, the spot prices of and futures contracts referencing commodities tracked by
the Index, supply and demand for the RBS ETNs; economic, financial, political,
regulatory or judicial events that affect the level of the Index; and the
actual or perceived creditworthiness of RBS plc and RBS Group.

The Index has limited actual history and may perform in unexpected ways: The
Index was created by RBS plc, as Index Sponsor, and established on October 31,
2007. As such, it has limited actual history and may perform in unexpected
ways. The historical performance of the Index should not be taken as indication
of future performance.

Uncertain Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the RBS
ETNs are uncertain. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own
situation.

The RBS ETNs are complex and 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 filed 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 filed 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).

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: On June 13, 2013, we announced that we would be exiting
the structured retail investor products business that is responsible for
issuing and maintaining the RBS ETNs, and that we expect to move such business
into a runoff organization which will go through a process of restructuring and
/ or business sales (the "RBS Retail Investor Products Exit Plan"). The
implementation of the RBS Retail Investor Products Exit Plan increases the
likelihood that the RBS ETNs will be redeemed by us prior to maturity. We plan
to continue to maintain and issue the RBS ETNs, but our plans could change. We
cannot give you any assurances as to any minimum period of time that you may
hold the RBS ETNs before we redeem them at our option.
