Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Barclays Bank PLC is offering $2,000,000 of Buffered Callable Contingent Coupon Notes due January 27, 2028, linked to the worst performer of the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) and the Global X Copper Miners ETF (COPX). The notes pay a contingent coupon of 13.00% per annum ($10.833 per $1,000) only if on each observation date both ETFs are at or above 70% of their initial values. Barclays can redeem the notes in whole, at its option, on specified call dates starting about six months after issuance at $1,000 per note plus any due coupon.

At maturity, if not called and the worst-performing ETF is at or above 70% of its initial value, investors receive full principal back; if it is below that level, repayment is reduced so that investors lose 1.428571% of principal for every 1% the worst ETF has fallen below a 30% loss, up to a total loss of principal. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Barclays, subject to U.K. Bail-in Power, and carry no rights to ETF dividends. Barclays’ internal estimated value on the pricing date is $969.10 per $1,000, below the issue price.

CONSENT TO U.K. BAIL-IN POWER

Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes), by acquiring the Notes, each holder or beneficial owner of the Notes acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

Under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power in circumstances in which the relevant U.K. resolution authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met. These conditions include that a U.K. bank or investment firm is failing or is likely to fail to satisfy the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) threshold conditions for authorization to carry on certain regulated activities (within the meaning of section 55B FSMA) or, in the case of a U.K. banking group company that is a European Economic Area (“EEA”) or third country institution or investment firm, that the relevant EEA or third country relevant authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met in respect of that entity.

The U.K. Bail-in Power includes any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power, which allows for (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of Barclays Bank PLC or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the Notes of such shares, securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the Notes and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Notes, or the amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the Notes, or the dates on which interest or any other amounts become payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised by means of a variation of the terms of the Notes solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each holder and beneficial owner of the Notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders or beneficial owners of the Notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights holders or beneficial owners of the Notes may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority in breach of laws applicable in England.

For more information, please see “Selected Risk Considerations—Risks Relating to the Issuer—You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment If Any U.K. Bail-in Power Is Exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” in this pricing supplement as well as “U.K. Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Regulatory action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail, including the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect the value of any securities” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Under the terms of the securities, you have agreed to be bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 


 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING OUR ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE NOTES

Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates, and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables such as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing, and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the Notes may be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

Our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is less than the initial issue price of the Notes. The difference between the initial issue price of the Notes and our estimated value of the Notes is a result of several factors, including any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees (including any structuring or other distribution related fees) to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.

Our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.

Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Initial Valuation Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value on the Initial Valuation Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately six months after the Issue Date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, which may include the tenor of the Notes and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the initial Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page PS-12 of this pricing supplement.

 


 

SELECTED PURCHASE CONSIDERATIONS

The Notes are not appropriate for all investors. The Notes may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:

You do not seek an investment that produces fixed periodic interest or coupon payments or other non-contingent sources of current income, and you can tolerate receiving few or no Contingent Coupons over the term of the Notes in the event the Closing Value of any Reference Asset falls below its Coupon Barrier Value on one or more of the specified Observation Dates.

You understand and accept that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Reference Asset, which may be significant, and that your return potential on the Notes is limited to the Contingent Coupons, if any, paid on the Notes.

You can tolerate a loss of a significant portion or all of the principal amount of your Notes, and you are willing and able to make an investment that may have the full downside market risk of an investment in the Least Performing Reference Asset.

You do not anticipate that the Closing Value of any Reference Asset will fall below its Coupon Barrier Value on any Observation Date or below its Buffer Value on the Final Valuation Date.

You understand and accept that you will not be entitled to receive dividends or distributions that may be paid to holders of any Reference Asset or any securities to which any Reference Asset provides exposure, nor will you have any voting rights with respect to any Reference Asset or any securities to which any Reference Asset provides exposure.

You are willing and able to accept the individual market risk of each Reference Asset and understand that any decline in the value of one Reference Asset will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the value of any other Reference Asset.

You understand and accept the risks that (a) you will not receive a Contingent Coupon if the Closing Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value on an Observation Date and (b) you will lose some or all of your principal at maturity if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Value.

You understand and accept the risk that, if the Notes are not redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, the payment at maturity, if any, will be based solely on the Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset.

You understand and are willing and able to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Reference Assets.

You are willing and able to accept the risk that the Notes may be redeemed prior to scheduled maturity and that you may not be able to reinvest your money in an alternative investment with comparable risk and yield.

You can tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Notes prior to scheduled maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the values of the Reference Assets.

You do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market, and you are willing and able to hold the Notes to maturity if the Notes are not redeemed.

You are willing and able to assume our credit risk for all payments on the Notes.

You are willing and able to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority.

The Notes may not be an appropriate investment for you if any of the following statements are true:

You seek an investment that produces fixed periodic interest or coupon payments or other non-contingent sources of current income, and/or you cannot tolerate receiving few or no Contingent Coupons over the term of the Notes in the event the Closing Value of any Reference Asset falls below its Coupon Barrier Value on one or more of the specified Observation Dates.

You seek an investment that participates in the full appreciation of any or all of the Reference Assets rather than an investment with a return that is limited to the Contingent Coupons, if any, paid on the Notes.

You seek an investment that provides for the full repayment of principal at maturity, and/or you are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that you may lose some or all of the principal amount of the Notes in the event that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset falls below its Buffer Value.

You anticipate that the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset will decline during the term of the Notes such that the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset will fall below its Coupon Barrier Value on one or more Observation Dates and/or the Final Value of at least one Reference Asset will fall below its Buffer Value.

You are unwilling or unable to accept the individual market risk of each Reference Asset and/or do not understand that any decline in the value of one Reference Asset will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the value of any other Reference Asset.

You do not understand and/or are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Reference Assets.

You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that the negative performance of only one Reference Asset may cause you to not receive Contingent Coupons and/or suffer a loss of principal at maturity, regardless of the performance of any other Reference Asset.

You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that the Notes may be redeemed prior to scheduled maturity.


 

You seek an investment that entitles you to dividends or distributions on, or voting rights related to any Reference Asset or any securities to which any Reference Asset provides exposure.

You cannot tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Notes prior to scheduled maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the values of the Reference Assets.

You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market, and/or you are unwilling or unable to hold the Notes to maturity if the Notes are not redeemed.

You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings.

You are unwilling or unable to assume our credit risk for all payments on the Notes.

You are unwilling or unable to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority.

You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment in the Notes. You should reach a decision whether to invest in the Notes after carefully considering, with your advisors, the appropriateness of the Notes in light of your investment objectives and the specific information set out in this pricing supplement and the documents referenced under “Additional Documents Related to the Offering of the Notes” in this pricing supplement. Neither the Issuer nor Barclays Capital Inc. makes any recommendation as to the appropriateness of the Notes for investment.

 


 

ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE NOTES

The Observation Dates (including the Final Valuation Date), the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, any Call Settlement Date and the Maturity Date are subject to postponement in certain circumstances, as described under “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Market Disruption Events for Securities with an Exchange-Traded Fund that Holds Equity Securities as a Reference Asset,” “Reference Assets—Least or Best Performing Reference Asset—Scheduled Trading Days and Market Disruption Events for Securities Linked to the Reference Asset with the Lowest or Highest Return in a Group of Two or More Equity Securities, Exchange-Traded Funds, Equity Indices and/or Equity Futures Indices” and “Terms of the Notes—Payment Dates” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES OF AMOUNTS PAYABLE ON A SINGLE CONTINGENT COUPON PAYMENT DATE

The following examples demonstrate the circumstances under which you may receive a Contingent Coupon on a hypothetical Contingent Coupon Payment Date. The numbers appearing in these tables are purely hypothetical and are provided for illustrative purposes only. These examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes and make the following key assumptions:

Hypothetical Initial Value of each Reference Asset: 100.00*

Hypothetical Coupon Barrier Value for each Reference Asset: 70.00 (70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value set forth above)*

*The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00 and the hypothetical Coupon Barrier Value of 70.00 for each Reference Asset have been chosen for illustrative purposes only. The actual Initial Value and Coupon Barrier Value for each Reference Asset are as set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement.

Example 1: The Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than its Coupon Barrier Value on the relevant Observation Date.

Reference Asset

Closing Value on Relevant Observation Date

XME Fund

$100.00

COPX Fund

$75.00

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than its respective Coupon Barrier Value, you will receive a Contingent Coupon of $10.833 (1.0833% of the principal amount per Note) on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date.

Example 2: The Closing Value of one Reference Asset is greater than its Coupon Barrier Value on the relevant Observation Date and the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value on the relevant Observation Date.

Reference Asset

Closing Value on Relevant Observation Date

XME Fund

$80.00

COPX Fund

$69.00

Because the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value, you will not receive a Contingent Coupon on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date.

Example 3: The Closing Value of each Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value on the relevant Observation Date.

Reference Asset

Closing Value on Relevant Observation Date

XME Fund

$68.00

COPX Fund

$50.00

Because the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value, you will not receive a Contingent Coupon on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date.

Examples 2 and 3 demonstrate that you may not receive a Contingent Coupon on a Contingent Coupon Payment Date. If the Closing Value of any Reference Asset is below its Coupon Barrier Value on each Observation Date, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes.

 


 

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES OF AMOUNTS PAYABLE AT MATURITY

The following table illustrates the hypothetical payment at maturity under various circumstances. The examples set forth below are purely hypothetical and are provided for illustrative purposes only. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The hypothetical examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Notes and make the following key assumptions:

Hypothetical Initial Value of each Reference Asset: 100.00*

Hypothetical Coupon Barrier Value for each Reference Asset: 70.00 (70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value set forth above)*

Hypothetical Buffer Value for each Reference Asset: 70.00 (70.00% of the hypothetical Initial Value set forth above)*

You hold the Notes to maturity, and the Notes are NOT redeemed prior to scheduled maturity.

* The hypothetical Initial Value of 100.00, the hypothetical Coupon Barrier Value of 70.00 and the hypothetical Buffer Value of 70.00 for each Reference Asset have been chosen for illustrative purposes only. The actual Initial Value, Coupon Barrier Value and Buffer Value for each Reference Asset are as set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement.

** per $1,000 principal amount Note, excluding the final Contingent Coupon that may be payable on the Maturity Date.

The following examples illustrate how the payments at maturity set forth in the table above are calculated:

Example 1: The Final Value of Reference Asset A is $135.00 and the Final Value of Reference Asset B is $130.00.

Because Reference Asset B has the lowest Reference Asset Return, Reference Asset B is the Least Performing Reference Asset. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Buffer Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold (plus the Contingent Coupon that will otherwise be payable on the Maturity Date).

Example 2: The Final Value of Reference Asset A is $140.00 and the Final Value of Reference Asset B is $90.00.

Because Reference Asset B has the lowest Reference Asset Return, Reference Asset B is the Least Performing Reference Asset. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Buffer Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold (plus the Contingent Coupon that will otherwise be payable on the Maturity Date).


 

Example 3: The Final Value of Reference Asset A is $60.00 and the Final Value of Reference Asset B is $120.00.

Because Reference Asset A has the lowest Reference Asset Return, Reference Asset A is the Least Performing Reference Asset. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $857.14 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold, calculated as follows:

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset + Buffer Percentage) × Downside Leverage Factor]

$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-40.00% + 30.00%) × 1.428571)] = $857.14

In addition, because the Final Value of at least one Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value, you will not receive a Contingent Coupon on the Maturity Date.

Example 3 demonstrates that if the Notes are not redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, and if the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Value, you will lose 1.428571% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1.00% that the Reference Asset Return of such Reference Asset falls below -30.00%. You will not benefit in any way from the Reference Asset Return of any other Reference Asset being higher than the Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset.

If the Notes are not redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, you may lose up to 100.00% of the principal amount of your Notes. Any payment on the Notes, including the repayment of principal, is subject to the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC.


 

SELECTED RISK CONSIDERATIONS

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing directly in the Reference Assets or their components, if any. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Notes are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Notes generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the Notes unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the Notes.

Risks Relating to the Notes Generally

Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Significant Loss — The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that the Issuer will not necessarily repay the full principal amount of the Notes at maturity. If the Notes are not redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, and if the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Value, you will lose 1.428571% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1.00% that the Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset falls below -30.00%. You may lose up to 100.00% of the principal amount of your Notes.

Potential Return is Limited to the Contingent Coupons, If Any, and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of Any Reference Asset — The potential positive return on the Notes is limited to the Contingent Coupons, if any, that may be payable during the term of the Notes. You will not participate in any appreciation in the value of any Reference Asset, which may be significant, even though you will be exposed to the depreciation in the value of the Least Performing Reference Asset if the Notes are not redeemed and the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Value.

You May Not Receive Any Contingent Coupon Payments on the Notes — The Issuer will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments on the Notes. You will receive a Contingent Coupon on a Contingent Coupon Payment Date only if the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on the related Observation Date is greater than or equal to its respective Coupon Barrier Value. If the Closing Value of any Reference Asset on an Observation Date is less than its Coupon Barrier Value, you will not receive a Contingent Coupon on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date. If the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset is less than its respective Coupon Barrier Value on each Observation Date, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes.

Because the Notes Are Linked to the Least Performing Reference Asset, You Are Exposed to Greater Risks of No Contingent Coupons and Sustaining a Significant Loss of Principal at Maturity Than If the Notes Were Linked to a Single Reference Asset — The risk that you will not receive any Contingent Coupons and lose a significant portion or all of your principal amount in the Notes at maturity is greater if you invest in the Notes as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of a single Reference Asset. With multiple Reference Assets, it is more likely that the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset will be less than its Coupon Barrier Value on the specified Observation Dates or less than its Buffer Value on the Final Valuation Date, and therefore, it is more likely that you will not receive any Contingent Coupons and that you will suffer a significant loss of principal at maturity. Further, the performance of the Reference Assets may not be correlated or may be negatively correlated. The lower the correlation between multiple Reference Assets, the greater the potential for one of those Reference Assets to close below its Coupon Barrier Value or Buffer Value on an Observation Date or the Final Valuation Date, respectively.

It is impossible to predict what the correlation among the Reference Assets will be over the term of the Notes. The Reference Assets represent different equity markets. These different equity markets may not perform similarly over the term of the Notes.

Although the correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance may change over the term of the Notes, the Contingent Coupon rate is determined, in part, based on the correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. A higher Contingent Coupon is generally associated with lower correlation of the Reference Assets, which reflects a greater potential for missed Contingent Coupons and for a loss of principal at maturity.

You Are Exposed to the Market Risk of Each Reference Asset — Your return on the Notes is not linked to a basket consisting of the Reference Assets. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each Reference Asset. Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each Reference Asset. Poor performance by any Reference Asset over the term of the Notes may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any increases or lesser declines in the value of any other Reference Asset. To receive a Contingent Coupon, the Closing Value of each Reference Asset must be greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier Value on the applicable Observation Date. In addition, if the Notes have not been redeemed prior to scheduled maturity, and if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Buffer Value, you will lose 1.428571% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1.00% that the Reference Asset Return of the Least Performing Reference Asset falls below -30.00%. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each Reference Asset.

The Notes Are Subject to Volatility Risk — Volatility is a measure of the degree of variation in the price of an asset (or level of an index) over a period of time. The amount of any coupon payments that may be payable under the Notes is based on a number of factors, including the expected volatility of the Reference Assets. The amount of such coupon payments will be paid at a per annum rate that is higher than the fixed rate that we would pay on a conventional debt security of the same tenor and is higher than it otherwise would have been had the expected volatility of the Reference Assets been lower. As volatility of a Reference Asset increases, there will typically be a greater likelihood that (a) the Closing Value of that Reference Asset on one or more Observation Dates will be less than its Coupon Barrier Value and (b) the Final Value of that Reference Asset will be less than its Buffer Value.


 

Accordingly, you should understand that a higher coupon payment amount reflects, among other things, an indication of a greater likelihood that you will (a) not receive coupon payments with respect to one or more Observation Dates and/or (b) incur a loss of principal at maturity than would have been the case had the amount of such coupon payments been lower. In addition, actual volatility over the term of the Notes may be significantly higher than the expected volatility at the time the terms of the Notes were determined. If actual volatility is higher than expected, you will face an even greater risk that you will not receive coupon payments and/or that you will lose some or all of your principal at maturity for the reasons described above.

Early Redemption and Reinvestment Risk — While the original term of the Notes is as indicated on the cover of this pricing supplement, the Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity, as described above, and the holding period over which you may receive any coupon payments that may be payable under the Notes could be as short as approximately six months.

The Redemption Price that you would receive on a Call Settlement Date, together with any coupon payments that you may have received prior to the Call Settlement Date, may be less than the aggregate amount of payments that you would have received had the Notes not been redeemed. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes in a comparable investment with a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. No additional payments will be due after the relevant Call Settlement Date. The fact that the Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity may also adversely impact your ability to sell your Notes and the price at which they may be sold.

It is more likely that we will redeem the Notes at our sole discretion prior to maturity to the extent that the expected interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on other instruments issued by us of comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. We are less likely to redeem the Notes prior to maturity when the expected interest payable on the Notes is less than the interest that would be payable on other comparable instruments issued by us, which includes when the value of any Reference Asset is less than its Coupon Barrier Value. Therefore, the Notes are more likely to remain outstanding when the expected interest payable on the Notes is less than what would be payable on other comparable instruments and when your risk of not receiving a Contingent Coupon is relatively higher.

Any Payment on the Notes Will Be Determined Based on the Closing Values of the Reference Assets on the Dates Specified — Any payment on the Notes will be determined based on the Closing Values of the Reference Assets on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable values of the Reference Assets determined at any other time.

Contingent Repayment of Any Principal Amount Applies Only at Maturity or upon Any Redemption — You should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity or any redemption. Although the Notes provide for the contingent repayment of the principal amount of your Notes at maturity, provided that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Buffer Value, or upon any redemption, if you sell your Notes prior to such time in the secondary market, if any, you may have to sell your Notes at a price that is less than the principal amount even if at that time the value of each Reference Asset has increased from its Initial Value. See “Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes” below.

Owning the Notes is Not the Same as Owning Any Reference Asset or Any Securities to which Any Reference Asset Provides Exposure — The return on the Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned any Reference Asset or any securities to which any Reference Asset provides exposure. As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights that holders of any Reference Asset or any securities to which any Reference Asset provides exposure may have.

Tax Treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor about your tax situation. See “Tax Considerations” below.

Risks Relating to the Issuer

Credit of Issuer — The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due and is not guaranteed by any third party. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value of the Notes, and in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment If Any U.K. Bail-in Power Is Exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority — Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the Notes (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Notes), by acquiring the Notes, each holder or beneficial owner of the Notes acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority as set forth under “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement. Accordingly, any U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised in such a manner as to result in you and other holders and beneficial owners of the Notes losing all or a part of the value of your investment in the Notes or receiving a different security from the Notes, which may be worth significantly less than the Notes and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded to debt securities. Moreover, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise the U.K. Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice to, or requiring the consent of, the holders and beneficial owners of the Notes. The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Notes will not be a default or an Event of Default (as each term is defined in the senior debt securities indenture) and the trustee will not be liable for any action that the trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either


 

case, in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Notes. See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement as well as “U.K. Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Regulatory action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail, including the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially adversely affect the value of any securities” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Under the terms of the securities, you have agreed to be bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Risks Relating to the Reference Assets

Historical Performance of the Reference Assets Should Not Be Taken as Any Indication of the Future Performance of the Reference Assets Over the Term of the Notes — The value of each Reference Asset has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. The historical performance of a Reference Asset is not an indication of the future performance of that Reference Asset over the term of the Notes. The historical correlation among the Reference Assets is not an indication of the future correlation among them over the term of the Notes. Therefore, the performance of the Reference Assets individually or in comparison to each other over the term of the Notes may bear no relation or resemblance to the historical performance of any Reference Asset.

The Notes Are Subject to Risks Associated with Non-U.S. Securities Markets — Certain component securities of the COPX Fund are issued by non-U.S. companies in non-U.S. securities markets. Investments in securities linked to the value of such non-U.S. equity securities, such as the Notes, involve risks associated with the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those non-U.S. equity securities, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions than there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and generally non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities in non-U.S. markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws.

The Notes Are Subject to Currency Exchange Risk — Because the value of the COPX Fund is related to the U.S. dollar value of the component securities held by the COPX Fund, the values of the COPX Fund will be exposed to the currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the component securities held by the COPX Fund trade. An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which each of those non-U.S. currencies strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the component securities denominated in those non-U.S. currencies. If, taking into account the relevant weighting, the U.S. dollar strengthens against those non-U.S. currencies, the value of the COPX Fund will be adversely affected and any payments on the Notes may be reduced.

Exchange rate movements for a particular currency are volatile and are the result of numerous factors, including the supply of, and the demand for, those currencies, as well as government policy, intervention or actions, but are also influenced significantly from time to time by political or economic developments, and by macroeconomic factors and speculative actions related to the relevant region. Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:

oexisting and expected rates of inflation;

oexisting and expected interest rate levels;

othe balance of payments between the countries represented in the COPX Fund and the United States; and

othe extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the countries represented in the COPX Fund and the United States.

All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of the countries represented in the COPX Fund, the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.

 

The Notes Are Subject to Risks Associated with Emerging Markets — Certain component securities of the COPX Fund have been issued by non-U.S. companies located in emerging market countries. Emerging markets pose further risks in addition to the risks associated with investing in foreign equity markets generally, as described in the previous risk factor. Countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times. Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources, self-sufficiency and balance of payment positions.

We May Accelerate the Notes If a Change-in-Law Event Occurs — Upon the occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that may, among other things, prohibit or otherwise materially restrict persons from holding the Notes or a Reference Asset or its components, or engaging in transactions in them, the Calculation Agent may determine that a change-in-law event has occurred and accelerate the Maturity Date for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly less than any amount that would be due on the Notes if they were not accelerated. However, if the Calculation Agent elects not to accelerate the Notes, the value of, and any amount payable on, the


 

Notes could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, by the occurrence of those legal or regulatory changes. See “Terms of the Notes—Change-in-Law Events” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Certain Features of Exchange-Traded Funds Will Impact the Value of the Notes — The performance of each Reference Asset will not fully replicate the performance of its respective Underlying Index (as defined below), and each Reference Asset may hold securities not included in its respective Underlying Index. The value of each Reference Asset is subject to:

Management Risk. This is the risk that the investment strategy for each Reference Asset, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. However, each Reference Asset is not actively managed and the investment advisor of each Reference Asset will generally not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets.

Derivatives Risk. Each Reference Asset may invest in derivatives, including forward contracts, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, options and swaps. A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset such as a security or an index. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices, and thus each Reference Asset’s losses, and, as a consequence, the losses on your Notes, may be greater than if each Reference Asset invested only in conventional securities.

Transaction costs and fees. Unlike its respective Underlying Index, each Reference Asset will reflect transaction costs and fees that will reduce its performance relative to its respective Underlying Index.

Generally, the longer the time remaining to maturity, the more the market price of the Notes will be affected by the factors described above. In addition, each Reference Asset may diverge significantly from the performance of its respective Underlying Index due to differences in trading hours between such Reference Asset and the securities composing its Underlying Index or other circumstances. During periods of market volatility, the component securities held by each Reference Asset may be unavailable in the secondary market, market participants may be unable to calculate accurately the intraday net asset value per share of each Reference Asset and the liquidity of each Reference Asset may be adversely affected. This kind of market volatility may also disrupt the ability of market participants to create and redeem shares in each Reference Asset. Further, market volatility may adversely affect, sometimes materially, the prices at which market participants are willing to buy and sell shares of each Reference Asset. As a result, under these circumstances, the market value of each Reference Asset may vary substantially from the net asset value per share of each Reference Asset. Because the Notes are linked to the performance of each Reference Asset and not its Underlying Index, the return on your Notes may be less than that of an alternative investment linked directly to its Underlying Index.

Adjustments to any Reference Asset or its Underlying Index Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes or Result in the Notes Being Accelerated — The investment adviser of any Reference Asset may add, delete or substitute the component securities held by that Reference Asset or make changes to its investment strategy, and the sponsor of the Underlying Index that any Reference Asset is designed to track may add, delete, substitute or adjust the securities composing its Underlying Index or make other methodological changes to its Underlying Index that could affect its performance. In addition, if the shares of any Reference Asset are delisted or if any Reference Asset is liquidated or otherwise terminated, the Calculation Agent may select a successor fund that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to that Reference Asset or, if no successor fund is available, the Maturity Date of the Notes will be accelerated for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of any Reference Asset and, consequently, the value of the Notes. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly less than the amount(s) that would be due on the securities if they were not accelerated. See “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Exchange-Traded Fund as a Reference Asset—Discontinuance of an Exchange-Traded Fund” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Anti-Dilution Protection Is Limited, and the Calculation Agent Has Discretion to Make Anti-Dilution Adjustments — The Calculation Agent may in its sole discretion make adjustments affecting the amounts payable on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events that the Calculation Agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of the shares of any Reference Asset. However, the Calculation Agent might not make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect the shares of any Reference Asset. The occurrence of any such event and any adjustment made by the Calculation Agent (or a determination by the Calculation Agent not to make any adjustment) may adversely affect any amounts payable on the Notes. See “Reference Assets—Exchange-Traded Funds—Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Exchange-Traded Fund as a Reference Asset—Anti-dilution Adjustments” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

An Investment in the Notes Involves Industry Concentration Risk — As described below under “Information Regarding the Reference Assets”, the investment objective of the XME Fund is to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in one particular sector or group of industries. The performance of companies in the relevant sector will be influenced by many complex and unpredictable factors, including industry competition, interest rates, geopolitical events, government regulation and supply and demand for the products and services offered by such companies. Any adverse development in the sector tracked by the XME Fund may have a material adverse effect on the securities held in the portfolio of the XME Fund and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on the value of the XME Fund and the value of the Notes.

The Equity Securities Composing the COPX Fund Are Concentrated in the Copper Mining Sector — All or substantially all of the equity securities held by the COPX Fund are issued by companies whose primary line of business is directly associated with the copper mining industry. As a result, the value of the Notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more adversely


 

affected by a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence affecting this industry than a different investment linked to securities of a more broadly diversified group of issuers. The equity securities composing the COPX Fund may be significantly affected by competitive pressures in the copper mining industry and the priced of copper. The price of copper may be affected by changes in inflation rates, interest rates, monetary policy, economic conditions and political stability. Commodity prices may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time; therefore, the COPX Fund’s price may be more volatile than other types of investments. In addition, metals and mining companies may also be significantly affected by import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices. Major expenditures may be required to establish reserves by drilling and to construct mining and processing facilities at a site. In addition, mineral exploration companies typically operate at a loss and are dependent on securing equity and/or debt financing, which might be more difficult to secure for an exploration company than for a more established counterpart. These factors could affect the value of the equity securities held by the COPX Fund and the price of the COPX Fund during the term of the Notes, which may adversely affect the value of the Notes.

Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest

We and Our Affiliates May Engage in Various Activities or Make Determinations That Could Materially Affect the Notes in Various Ways and Create Conflicts of Interest — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes, as described below. In performing these roles, our and our affiliates’ economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

In connection with our normal business activities and in connection with hedging our obligations under the Notes, we and our affiliates make markets in and trade various financial instruments or products for our accounts and for the account of our clients and otherwise provide investment banking and other financial services with respect to these financial instruments and products. These financial instruments and products may include securities, derivative instruments or assets that may relate to the Reference Assets or their components, if any. In any such market making, trading and hedging activity, and other financial services, we or our affiliates may take positions or take actions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of the holders of the Notes. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the Notes into account in conducting these activities. Such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking and other financial services may negatively impact the value of the Notes.

In addition, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as the agent for the Notes, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Notes. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the Notes and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as incentive to sell the Notes instead of other investments. Furthermore, we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the Notes for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based upon any independent verification or valuation.

In addition to the activities described above, we will also act as the Calculation Agent for the Notes. As Calculation Agent, we will determine any values of the Reference Assets and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the Notes. In making these determinations, the Calculation Agent may be required to make discretionary judgements relating to the Reference Assets, including those described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and this pricing supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes, and any of these determinations may adversely affect any payments on the Notes.

Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market

The Estimated Value of Your Notes is Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes — The estimated value of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is lower than the initial issue price of your Notes. The difference between the initial issue price of your Notes and the estimated value of the Notes is a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees (including any structuring or other distribution related fees) to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes Might be Lower if Such Estimated Value Were Based on the Levels at Which Our Debt Securities Trade in the Secondary Market — The estimated value of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is based on a number of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated value referenced above might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

The Estimated Value of the Notes is Based on Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove to be Inaccurate and May be Different from the Pricing Models of Other Financial Institutions — The estimated value of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions which may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of


 

your Notes may be materially different from the estimated value of the Notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, if any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes and May be Lower Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes — The estimated value of the Notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your Notes in the secondary market at any time will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related to the Notes such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your Notes will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.

The Temporary Price at Which We May Initially Buy The Notes in the Secondary Market And the Value We May Initially Use for Customer Account Statements, If We Provide Any Customer Account Statements At All, May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes — Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Initial Valuation Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a market in the Notes, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the initial Issue Date of the Notes. The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.

Lack of Liquidity — The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Notes but are not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Barclays Capital Inc. may at any time hold unsold inventory, which may inhibit the development of a secondary market for the Notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold your Notes to maturity.

Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes — The value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that interact in complex and unpredictable ways and that may either offset or magnify each other, including:

othe market price of, dividend rate on and expected volatility of the Reference Assets or the components of the Reference Assets, if any;

ocorrelation (or lack of correlation) of the Reference Assets;

othe time to maturity of the Notes;

ointerest and yield rates in the market generally;

oa variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;

osupply and demand for the Notes; and

oour creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Global X Copper Miners ETF

All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the COPX Fund has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Global X Management Company LLC (“Global X Management”). The COPX Fund is an investment portfolio of Global X Funds and is maintained and managed by Global X Management, the investment adviser to the COPX Fund. The COPX Fund is an exchange-traded fund that trades on the NYSE Arca, Inc. under the ticker symbol “COPX.”

The COPX Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index (with respect to the COPX Fund, the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to track the performance of international companies active in the exploration, mining and/or refining of copper. For more information about the Underlying Index, see Annex A in this pricing supplement.

The COPX Fund uses a “passive” or indexing approach to try to achieve its investment objective. The COPX Fund does not try to outperform the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. The COPX Fund generally will use a replication strategy. meaning that it invests in the securities of the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index. However, the COPX Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Underlying Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders of the COPX Fund, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to replicate the Underlying Index, in instances in which a security in the Underlying Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the COPX Fund but not the Underlying Index.

“Tracking error” is the divergence of the COPX Fund’s performance from that of the Underlying Index. Tracking error may occur because of differences between the securities and other instruments held in the COPX Fund’s portfolio and those included in the Underlying Index, pricing differences, transaction costs incurred by the COPX Fund, the COPX Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, size of the COPX Fund, differences in timing of the accrual of or the valuation of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to the Underlying Index or the costs to the COPX Fund of complying with various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the COPX Fund incurs fees and expenses, while the Underlying Index does not. Exchange-traded funds that track indices with significant weight in emerging markets issuers may experience higher tracking error than other exchange-traded funds that do not track such indices.

Global X Funds is a registered investment company that consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the COPX Fund. Information provided to or filed with the SEC by Global X Funds pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, can be located by reference to SEC file numbers 333-151713 and 811-22209, respectively, through the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

You should review carefully the sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts with Associated Coupons” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.”

In determining our reporting responsibilities, if any, we intend to treat (i) the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Coupon payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts with Associated Coupons” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, has advised that it believes this treatment to be reasonable, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may adopt.

Sale, exchange or redemption of a Note. Assuming the treatment described above is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the Notes (including upon early redemption or redemption at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your tax basis in the Notes, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the Notes (assuming Contingent Coupon payments are properly treated as ordinary income, consistent with the position referred to above). This gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss unless you hold the Notes for more than one year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of the Notes at the issue price. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If you sell your Notes between the time your right to a Contingent Coupon payment is fixed and the time it is paid, it is likely that you will be treated as receiving ordinary income equal to the Contingent Coupon payment. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your Notes prior to an Observation Date but that can be attributed to an expected Contingent Coupon payment could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this issue.

As noted above, there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Notes could be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.

Non-U.S. holders. Insofar as we have responsibility as a withholding agent, we do not currently intend to treat Contingent Coupon payments to non-U.S. holders (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) as subject to U.S. withholding tax. However, non-U.S. holders should in any event expect to be required to provide appropriate Forms W-8 or other documentation in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding, as described under the heading “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. If any withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.

Treasury regulations under Section 871(m) generally impose a withholding tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments.” A recent IRS notice excludes from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta of one” with respect to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”). Based on our determination that the Notes do not have a “delta of one” within the meaning of the regulations, our special tax counsel is of the opinion that these regulations should not apply to the Notes with regard to non-U.S. holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.


 

SUPPLEMENTAL PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have agreed to sell to Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Agent”), and the Agent has agreed to purchase from us, the principal amount of the Notes, and at the price, specified on the cover of this pricing supplement. The Agent commits to take and pay for all of the Notes, if any are taken.

VALIDITY OF THE NOTES

In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special United States products counsel to Barclays Bank PLC, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement have been issued by Barclays Bank PLC pursuant to the indenture, the trustee has made, in accordance with instructions from Barclays Bank PLC, appropriate entries or notations in its records relating to the master global note that represents such Notes (the “master note”), and such Notes have been delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such Notes will be valid and binding obligations of Barclays Bank PLC, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith) and possible judicial or regulatory actions or application giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to (i) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above or (ii) the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of any provision that permits holders to collect any portion of the stated principal amount upon acceleration of the Notes to the extent determined to constitute unearned interest. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by English law, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has relied, with Barclays Bank PLC’s permission, on the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP, dated as of May 15, 2025, filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form F-3ASR by Barclays Bank PLC on May 15, 2025, and this opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations as set forth in such opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the master note and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, dated May 15, 2025, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above.

Annex A

THE SOLACTIVE GLOBAL COPPER MINERS TOTAL RETURN INDEX

All information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, has been derived from publicly available information, without independent verification. This information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, Solactive AG (“Solactive”). The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is calculated, maintained and published by Solactive. Solactive has no obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue the publication of, the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index.

The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to track the performance of international companies active in the exploration, mining and/or refining of copper. The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index was launched on April 19, 2010, with a base date of February 26, 2010 and a base value of 100.

The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is reported by Bloomberg under the ticker symbol “SOLGLOCO.”

Composition of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index

Selection of Index Components

The composition of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is ordinarily adjusted twice a year on the last trading day in April and October (the “Adjustment Day”). On the tenth business day before an Adjustment Day (a “Selection Day”), Solactive provides the “Index Universe” which, in respect of a Selection Day, consists of the companies that fulfill the following conditions:

1.Primary listing in one of the countries that are part of the Developed Markets and Emerging Markets (excluding China, India and Taiwan) as defined by the Solactive Country Classification;

2.Part of the Market Watch for the Solactive Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index which includes companies with a business focus within the copper mining industry or closely related activities, as reflected by publicly reported activities and the revenues generated or expected to be generated within these areas (i.e. exploration and refining of copper).

“Market Watch” is an announcement of a list of companies/securities which are intended to contribute to the creation of the Index Universe. It is compiled by all companies deemed to have their operational focus in line with the scope of the index. The Market Watch will be officially published and communicated on the Solactive website ten to five business days before the Selection Day and may be subject to updates.


 

3.Free float market capitalization of at least US$200 million for companies that are not currently included in the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index on the Selection Day or at least US$100 million for companies that are currently included in the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index on the Selection Day;

4.Average daily trading volume over all national exchanges within the listed country in the three months prior to the Selection Day (or, in the case of a company that has completed a significant initial public offering (“significant IPO”) less than three months prior to the Selection Day, i.e., an IPO with a company level total market capitalization greater than the company level total market capitalization of at least 50% of the current Index Components as of the previous Selection Day, the period from the security’s first trading day to the Selection Day) expressed in U.S. dollars (the “Relevant Trading Volume”) of at least US$500,000 for companies that are not currently included in the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index on the Selection Day or at least US$250,000 for companies that are currently included in the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index on the Selection Day and average monthly trading volume of at least 75,000 shares in each of the last six months or available history if shorter (the “Liquidity Criterion”); and

5.Initial public offerings with less than three calendar months of trading history as of the Selection Day must have been listed at least 10 calendar days prior to the Selection Day, if considered as significant IPO, and three calendar months prior to the Selection Day, in the case of other IPOs. 

The Index Committee (as defined below) may decide to include companies in the Selection Pool that do not fulfill the Liquidity Criterion.

The companies in the Index Universe are ranked in descending order according to their average daily value traded over the prior three months (or, in case of a company that has completed an IPO less than three month prior, the period from the security’s first trading day). The companies with the highest average daily value traded are then chosen as “Index Components” and the new index composition is effective starting the immediately following Adjustment Day.

The minimum number of Index Components is 20 and the maximum number of Index Components is 40. The Index Committee may decide to increase the maximum number of Index Components on a Selection Day. In case the rank assigned to a company that is currently an Index Component on a Selection Day is not sufficient to be selected as an Index Component, it will only be removed from the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index if its rank exceeds the maximum number of Index Components by more than five ranks. In that case, the company with the lowest rank that would have been selected as an Index Component on a Selection Day but that is not currently an Index Component on that Selection Day will not be selected for inclusion in the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index.

Weighting of Index Components

On each Selection Day, each Index Component is weighted proportionally according to its free float market capitalization. The following caps and weight restrictions are then applied:

1.The percentage weight of a single Index Component is capped at 4.75%. The excess weight is allocated proportionally to all Index Components whose percentage weight is not capped.

2.The aggregate percentage weight of Index Components that do not fulfill the Liquidity Criterion is capped at 10%. The excess weight is allocated proportionally to all Index Components whose percentage weight is not capped.

3.The Index Committee may decide on the Selection Day that if the current Index Components and weightings are still compliant with applicable financial product regulations and if the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index still validly represents the copper market (in particular, no components need to be added or removed) that there will be no change to the Index Components and weightings on the upcoming Adjustment Day.

The new index composition of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index and weightings are implemented after the close of trading on the Adjustment Day. The capping methodology may be amended by the Index Committee from time to time to ensure appropriate index representation and index compliance with financial product regulations.

Continuous Listing Standard Review

On each Monitoring Selection Day (as defined below), the Index Components will be reviewed for a breach of the following criteria (the “Continuous Listing Standards”):

1.The maximum weight of the top Index Component must not be larger than 25%. If this criterion is breached, the stock is capped at 22% and the excess weight is redistributed to other non-capped stocks.

2.The maximum aggregate weight of the top 5 Index Components must not exceed 60%. If this criterion is breached, the stocks will be proportionally capped at 55% and the excess weight is redistributed to other non-capped stocks.


 

3.The maximum weight of Index Components with a market liquidity below 250,000 shares traded (monthly average of the previous 6 months or available history if shorter) and US$25 million monthly average daily traded value (monthly average of the previous 6 months or available history if shorter) must not exceed 30%. If this criterion is breached, the stocks with a market liquidity below 250,000 shares traded (monthly average of the previous 6 months or available history if shorter) and US$25 million monthly average daily traded value (monthly average of the previous 6 months or available history if shorter) will be proportionally capped at 25% and the excess weight is redistributed to other non-capped stocks.

4.The maximum weight of Index Components with a market capitalization below US$100 million must not account for more than 10%. If this criterion is breached, stocks with market capitalization below US$100 million will be proportionally capped at 9% and the excess weight is redistributed to other non-capped stocks.

This reweighting process will be repeated until no Continuous Listing Standards are breached. In the event that the Continuous Listing Standards cannot be satisfied using the buffers described above, the weighting will be reviewed by the Index Committee. After the review, the decision will be announced publicly.

The “Monitoring Selection Day” is the business day that is ten business days before the Monitoring Adjustment Day, disregarding any potential changes to the Monitoring Adjustment Day. The “Monitoring Adjustment Day” is the last trading day in January, April, July and October.

Calculation of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index

Index Type

The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is calculated as a net total return index. A net total return index seeks to replicate the overall return from holding a portfolio consisting of the Index Components. In order to achieve this aim, a net total return index considers payments, such as dividends, after the deduction of any withholding tax or other amounts an investor holding the Index Components would typically be exposed to.

Index Formula

The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index’s index level on a given business day is calculated as follows:

The sum of the market capitalization of the Index Components is divided by the divisor, which is a mathematical factor defined at the inception of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index. The divisor is adjusted by certain corporate actions and index rebalances. Additionally, dividends paid by any Index Component are applied across the entire basket by changing the divisor.

with

Si,t = total number of shares of the Index Component i on trading day t

Pi,t = price of the Index Component i on trading day t

fi,t = foreign exchange rate of the Index Component i on trading day t

WCFi,t = Weighting Cap Factor of the Index Component i on trading day t

FFFi,t = Free Float Factor of the Index Component i on trading day t

Dt = Divisor on trading day t

Currency Conversion

For intraday calculation of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index, prices of Index Components not in U.S. dollars are converted using the current Intercontinental Exchange spot foreign exchange rate. Should there be no current price available for an Index Component, the most recent price or the trading price for the preceding trading day is used in the calculation. For the daily index closing value calculation, trading prices of Index Components not in U.S. dollars are converted using the 4pm London time WM Fixing quoted by Reuters. If there is no 4pm London time WM Fixing for the relevant business day, the last available 4pm London time WM Fixing will be used for the index closing value calculation.


 

Index Maintenance

Ordinary Adjustments

The composition of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is reviewed on each Selection Day. Solactive will publish any changes made to the Index Components with sufficient notice before the relevant Adjustment Day.

Extraordinary Rebalance

If a company included in the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is removed from the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index between two Adjustment Days due to an extraordinary event (such as a merger, a takeover bid, a delisting, the nationalization of a company or insolvency), if necessary, the Index Committee will designate a successor. The Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index will be adjusted that same day. This will be announced by Solactive after the close of business on the day on which the new composition of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is determined by the Index Committee.

Corporate Actions

Under certain circumstances, an adjustment of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index may be necessary between two regular Rebalance Days. Such adjustment has to be made if a corporate action in relation of an Index Component occurs. Such adjustment may have to be done in relation to an Index Component and/or may also affect the number of Index Components and/or the weighting of certain Index Components.

Index Oversight

A committee composed of staff from Solactive (the “Index Committee”) is responsible for any amendments to the rules of governing the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index. Any amendment to these rules must be submitted to the Index Committee for prior approval and will be made in compliance with Solactive’s methodology policy. The methodology of the Solactive Global Copper Miners Total Return Index is subject to regular review, at least annually. In case a need of a change of the methodology has been identified within this review, this change will be made in accordance with Solactive’s methodology policy.

FAQ

What are Barclays’ Buffered Callable Contingent Coupon Notes linked to XME and COPX?

These Notes are unsecured debt of Barclays Bank PLC that pay a high contingent coupon and return of principal based on the performance of the SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF and the Global X Copper Miners ETF. Payments depend on the worst-performing ETF relative to preset barrier and buffer levels.

How does the 13% contingent coupon on these Barclays (ATMP) notes work?

The Notes offer a Contingent Coupon of 13.00% per annum, paid as $10.833 per $1,000 on scheduled payment dates. A coupon is paid only if on the related observation date the closing value of each ETF is at or above 70% of its initial value; if any ETF is below that level, no coupon is paid for that period.

What protection and downside risk do these Barclays XME/COPX notes have at maturity?

The Notes have a 30% buffer. If at maturity the worst‑performing ETF is at or above 70% of its initial value, investors receive $1,000 per $1,000 note. If it is below 70%, the payoff is $1,000 plus $1,000 × (return of the worst ETF + 30%) × 1.428571, so principal losses increase 1.428571% for each 1% drop beyond a 30% loss, up to a full loss of principal.

Can Barclays redeem these Buffered Callable Contingent Coupon Notes early?

Yes. After roughly the first six months, Barclays may, at its sole discretion, redeem the Notes in whole on any specified Call Valuation Date. If called, investors receive $1,000 per $1,000 note plus the contingent coupon due on the related Call Settlement Date, and no further payments will be made.

What is the credit and bail-in risk on these Barclays (ATMP) structured notes?

The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Barclays Bank PLC, with payments dependent on Barclays’ creditworthiness. Investors expressly consent to the potential exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power, under which a U.K. resolution authority can write down, convert, or modify the Notes, potentially resulting in partial or total loss of the investment.

Why is the estimated value of these Barclays XME/COPX notes below the issue price?

On the Initial Valuation Date, Barclays’ internal models estimate the value at $969.10 per $1,000. The difference from the $1,000 issue price reflects selling commissions, distribution-related fees, expected structuring profit, hedging costs, and development and other costs associated with the Notes.

Do investors in these Barclays Buffered Callable Notes receive dividends from XME or COPX?

No. Investors do not receive dividends or voting rights from either ETF or their underlying securities. Potential return is limited to contingent coupons, if paid, and any principal repayment determined by the performance of the worst-performing ETF.
