RBS Rogers Enhanced ETNs
Holiday Schedule
 
The amount payable at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc of any RBS Rogers Enhanced ETNs, will be equal to the daily redemption value of the ETNs with respect to the applicable valuation date. The table below lists days that are scheduled exchange holidays for the NYSE Arca and the Relevant Commodities Exchanges in 2012, and indicates which days would not be valuation dates and which days would be valuation dates with partially postponed valuation for futures contracts trading on exchanges that were not open for trading on those valuation dates. An updated list will be posted from time to time at www. rbs.com/etnus. Holidays were taken from publicly available information published by the exchanges, and should be checked for current information. For more information relating to the calculation of the daily redemption value and this chart, please see pages PS-65 through PS-70 of the pricing supplement for the ETNs.
