Upon the occurrence of certain reorganization events with respect to a Basket Component, the calculation agent will make adjustments to reflect the amount and type of property deliverable for one share of that Basket Component as a result of that reorganization event. A Basket Component may be replaced with another stock selected by the calculation agent upon the occurrence of certain replacement stock events. For more information, see “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement.
2 If the calculation day is not a trading day with respect to any Basket Component, the calculation day for each Basket Component will be postponed to the next succeeding day that is a trading day with respect to each Basket Component. The calculation day will also be postponed for any Basket Component if a market disruption event occurs with respect to that Basket Component on the calculation day as described under “General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day—Securities Linked to Multiple Market Measures” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition, the stated maturity date will be postponed if that day is not a business day or if the calculation day is postponed as described under “General Terms of the Securities—Payment Dates” in the accompanying product supplement.

Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities
The final terms for the securities will be determined on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public (the “pricing date”) based on prevailing market conditions on or prior to the pricing date and will be communicated to investors orally and/or in a final pricing supplement.
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 pricing date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the securities might 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 securities on the pricing date is expected to be less than the original offering price of the securities. The difference between the original offering price of the securities and our estimated value of the securities is expected to result from several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected 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 securities, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the securities.
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the securities 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 securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities 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 pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately three months after the initial issue date of the securities because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. 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 securities and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs that 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 securities 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 PPS-9 of this pricing supplement.
You may revoke your offer to purchase the securities at any time prior to the pricing date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the securities prior to their pricing date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the securities, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.

Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder or beneficial owner of the securities 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 securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the securities 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 securities of such shares, securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the securities and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the securities, or the amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the securities, 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 securities 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 securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders or beneficial owners of the securities 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 securities 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.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity

Investor Considerations
The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:
| § | You do not seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income. |
| § | You anticipate that the ending level will be greater than the starting level, and you are willing and able to accept the risk that, if the level of the Basket decreases, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the level of the Basket from the starting level to the ending level and you may lose up to 10% of the principal amount of your securities at maturity. |
| § | You are willing and able to accept that any potential return on the securities is limited to the maximum return. |
| § | You are willing and able to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Basket, as explained in more detail in the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of this pricing supplement. |
| § | You understand and accept that you will not be entitled to receive dividends or distributions that may be paid to holders of the Basket Components, nor will you have any voting rights with respect to the Basket Components. |
| § | You do not seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and you are willing and able to hold the securities to maturity. |
| § | You are willing and able to assume our credit risk for all payments on the securities. |
| § | 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 securities may not be an appropriate investment for you if any of the following statements are true:
| § | You seek an investment that produces periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income. |
| § | You seek an investment that provides for the full repayment of principal at maturity. |
| § | You do not anticipate that the ending level will be greater than the starting level, or you are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that, if the level of the Basket decreases, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the level of the Basket and you may lose up to 10% of the principal amount of your securities at maturity. |
| § | You seek an investment with uncapped exposure to any positive performance of the Basket. |
| § | You are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Basket, as explained in more detail in the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of this pricing supplement. |
| § | You seek an investment that entitles you to dividends or distributions on, or voting rights related to, the Basket Components. |
| § | You seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market and/or you are unwilling or unable to hold the securities to maturity. |
| § | You are unwilling or unable to assume our credit risk for all payments on the securities. |
| § | You are unwilling or unable to consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by any relevant U.K. resolution authority. |
The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page PPS-9 of this pricing supplement and the “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-3 of the accompanying product supplement and the “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-9 of the accompanying prospectus supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to an Equity Basket due November 22, 2028
Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Basket or its components. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” sections of the product supplement and prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the securities unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.
Risks Relating to the Securities Generally
| · | You May Not Receive Any Positive Return On Your Investment In The Securities And You May Lose Up To 10% Of The Principal Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity — You will receive a positive return on the securities only if the ending level is greater than the starting level. Because the level of the Basket will be subject to market fluctuations, the ending level may be less than the starting level. If the ending level is less than the starting level, you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the first 10% decline in the level of the Basket from the starting level to the ending level and may lose up to 10% of the principal amount of your securities at maturity, even if the level of the Basket is greater than or equal to the starting level at certain times during the term of the securities. |
Even if the ending level is greater than the starting level, the amount you receive at maturity may be only slightly greater than the principal amount, and your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Barclays or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.
| · | Your Return Will Be Limited To The Maximum Return And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Basket Components — The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the level of the Basket through an investment in the securities will be limited because any positive return on the securities will not exceed the maximum return, regardless of any increase in the level of the Basket, which may be significant. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Basket Components. Furthermore, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for all ending levels exceeding the ending level at which the maximum return is reached. |
| · | Correlation (Or Lack Of Correlation) Of Performances Among The Basket Components May Adversely Affect Your Return On The Securities, And Changes In The Prices Of The Basket Components May Offset Each Other — “Correlation” is a measure of the degree to which the returns of a pair of assets are similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and direction. Movements in the prices of the Basket Components may not correlate with each other. At a time when the price of one Basket Component increases, the price of another Basket Component may not increase as much, or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Components’ performance on the calculation day, an increase in the price of a Basket Component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by a lesser increase or by a decline in the price of another Basket Component. In addition, however, high correlation of movements in the prices of the Basket Components could adversely affect your return on the securities during periods of negative performance of the Basket Components. Changes in the correlation of the Basket Components may adversely affect the market value of the securities. |
| · | No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities — No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities. |
| · | Any Payment On The Securities Will Be Determined Based On The Stock Closing Prices Of The Basket Components On The Dates Specified — Any payment on the securities will be determined based on the stock closing prices of the Basket Components on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable prices of the Basket Components determined at any other time. |
| · | Owning The Securities Is Not The Same As Owning Any Or All Of The Basket Components — The return on your securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned any or all of the Basket Components. For instance, as a holder of the securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or any other rights that holders of any Basket Component would have. |
| · | No Assurance That The Investment View Implicit In The Securities Will Be Successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the level of the Basket will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the ending level will be greater than the starting level. The level of the Basket will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the Basket Components. You should be willing to accept the downside risks associated with equities in general and each Basket Component in particular, and the risk of losing up to 10% of the principal amount. |
| · | You Will Be Required To Recognize Taxable Income On The Securities Prior To Maturity — If you are a U.S. holder of a security, under our intended treatment of the securities, you will be required to recognize taxable interest income in each year that you hold the security, even though you will not receive any payment in respect of the security prior to maturity (or earlier sale, exchange or retirement). In addition, any gain you recognize will be treated as ordinary interest income rather than capital gain. You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled “Tax Considerations.” |
PPS-9
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to an Equity Basket due November 22, 2028
Risks Relating to the Issuer
| · | The Securities Are Subject To The Credit Risk Of Barclays Bank PLC — The securities 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 securities, 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 securities and, in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you might not receive any amount owed to you under the terms of the securities. |
| · | 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 securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder or beneficial owner of the securities 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 securities losing all or a part of the value of your investment in the securities or receiving a different security from the securities, which may be worth significantly less than the securities 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 securities. The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the securities 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 securities. 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 Basket Components
| · | There Are Risks Associated With Single Equities — The price of each Basket Component can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that Basket Component and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically with the SEC by the issuer of each Basket Component. |
| · | We Cannot Control Actions By An Underlying Stock Issuer — Actions by an Underlying Stock Issuer may have an adverse effect on the price of such Basket Component, the ending component price of such Basket Component, and the value of the securities. We are not affiliated with any Underlying Stock Issuer. No Underlying Stock Issuer will be involved in the offering of the securities nor will any Underlying Stock Issuer have any obligations with respect to the securities, including any obligation to take our interests or your interests into consideration for any reason. No Underlying Stock Issuer will receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the securities nor will be responsible for, or will have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the securities to be issued. No Underlying Stock Issuer will be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the securities nor will have any obligations with respect to any amounts payable on the securities. |
| · | We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information — We, our affiliates and WFS and its affiliates are not affiliated in any way with any Underlying Stock Issuer. This pricing supplement relates only to the securities and does not relate to any Basket Component. The material provided in this pricing supplement concerning an Underlying Stock Issuer is derived from publicly available documents without independent verification. Neither we nor either agent has participated in the preparation of any of those documents or made any “due diligence” investigation or any inquiry of the Underlying Stock Issuers. Furthermore, neither we nor either agent knows whether any Underlying Stock Issuer has disclosed all events occurring before the date of this pricing supplement, including events that could affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents referred to above. Subsequent disclosure of any event of this kind or the disclosure of or failure to disclose material future events concerning an Underlying Stock Issuer could affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into each Underlying Stock Issuer. |
| · | You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection — The calculation agent will, in its sole discretion, adjust the adjustment factor of a Basket Component for certain events affecting such Basket Component, such as stock splits and stock dividends, and certain other corporate actions involving the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer, such as mergers. However, the calculation agent is not required to make an adjustment for every corporate event that can affect a Basket Component. For example, the calculation agent is not required to make any adjustments to the adjustment factor of a Basket Component if the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer or anyone else makes a partial tender or partial exchange offer for such Basket Component. Consequently, this could affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. See “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to |
PPS-10
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to an Equity Basket due November 22, 2028
an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement for a description of the general circumstances in which the calculation agent will make adjustments to the adjustment factor of a Basket Component.
| · | The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than An Original Underlying Stock Issuer — Following certain corporate events relating to a Basket Component, such as a stock-for-stock merger where the applicable Underlying Stock Issuer is not the surviving entity, the shares of a successor corporation to such Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for such Basket Component for all purposes of the securities. Following certain other corporate events relating to a Basket Component in which holders of such Basket Component would receive all of their consideration in cash and the surviving entity has no marketable securities outstanding or there is no surviving entity (including, but not limited to, a leveraged buyout or other going private transaction involving such Underlying Stock Issuer, or a liquidation of such Underlying Stock Issuer), the common stock of another company in the same industry group as such Underlying Stock Issuer will be substituted for such Basket Component for all purposes of the securities. In any such event, the equity-linked nature of the securities would be significantly altered. See “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement for a description of the specific events that can lead to these adjustments and the procedures for selecting a replacement stock. The occurrence of such events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the securities and any payments on the securities. |
| · | The Historical Performance Of The Basket Components Is Not An Indication Of Their Future Performance — The historical performance of the Basket Components should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Basket Components. It is impossible to predict whether the stock closing prices of the Basket Components will fall or rise during the term of the securities, in particular in the environment in the last several years, which has been characterized by volatility across a wide range of asset classes. Past fluctuations and trends in the prices of the Basket Components are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations or trends that may occur in the future. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
| · | Potentially Inconsistent Research, Opinions Or Recommendations By Barclays Capital Inc., WFS Or Their Respective Affiliates — Barclays Capital Inc., WFS or their respective affiliates may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the securities or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Barclays Capital Inc., WFA or their respective affiliates may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of each Basket Component and the merits of investing in the securities. |
| · | We, Our Affiliates And Any Other Agent And/Or Participating Dealer May Engage In Various Activities Or Make Determinations That Could Materially Affect Your Securities In Various Ways And Create Conflicts Of Interest — We, our affiliates, WFS and any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities (a “participating dealer”) may play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the securities, as described below. In performing these roles, our economic interests and the economic interests of our affiliates, WFS and any participating dealer are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. |
In connection with our normal business activities and in connection with hedging our obligations under the securities, 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 Basket Components. In any such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking 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 securities. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the securities 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 securities. Participating dealers may also engage in such activities that may negatively impact the value of the securities.
In addition, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as the agent for the securities, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the securities. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the securities and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell the securities instead of other investments. Furthermore, we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the securities for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based upon any independent verification or valuation.
Furthermore, if any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities or any of its affiliates conducts hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that participating dealer or its affiliates will expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected profit will be in addition to any selling concession and/or any fee that the participating dealer realizes for the sale of the securities to you. This additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the securities to you.
In addition to the activities described above, Barclays Bank PLC will also act as the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, we will determine any prices of the Basket Components and make any other determinations necessary to
PPS-11
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to an Equity Basket due November 22, 2028
calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, we may be required to make discretionary judgments, including those described in the accompanying product supplement and under “—Risks Relating to the Basket Components” above. In making these discretionary judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and any of these determinations may adversely affect any payments on the securities. Absent manifest error, all determinations of the calculation agent will be final and binding, without any liability on the part of the calculation agent. You will not be entitled to any compensation from Barclays Bank PLC for any loss suffered as a result of any determinations made by the calculation agent with respect to the securities.
Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Securities and the Secondary Market
| · | The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop — The securities 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 securities but are not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your securities 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 securities. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold your securities to maturity. |
| · | The Value Of The Securities Prior To Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways — Structured notes, including the securities, can be thought of as securities that combine a debt instrument with one or more options or other derivative instruments. As a result, the factors that influence the values of debt instruments and options or other derivative instruments will also influence the terms and features of the securities at issuance and their value in the secondary market. Accordingly, in addition to the prices of the Basket Components on any day, the value of the securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including: |
| · | the expected volatility of the Basket Components; |
| · | the correlation (or lack of correlation) among the Basket Components; |
| · | the time to maturity of the securities; |
| · | the market prices of, and dividend rates on, the Basket Components; |
| · | interest and yield rates in the market generally; |
| · | supply and demand for the securities; |
| · | a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events; and |
| · | our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings. |
| · | The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Expected To Be Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities — The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly lower, than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities is expected as a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions, selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to Barclays Capital Inc., another affiliate of ours, WFS or its affiliates or other non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the securities. |
| · | The Estimated Value Of Your Securities 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 securities on the pricing 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 values referenced above might be lower if such estimated values were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. |
| · | The Estimated Value Of The Securities 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 securities on the pricing 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 securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price |

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap and Partial Principal Return at Maturity
Partial Principal at Risk Securities Linked to an Equity Basket due November 22, 2028
of your securities may be materially different from the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models.
| · | The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Not A Prediction Of The Prices At Which You May Sell Your Securities In The Secondary Market, If Any, And Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely Be Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities And May Be Lower Than The Estimated Value Of Your Securities — The estimated value of the securities 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 securities 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 securities 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 securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities 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 securities such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be lower than the original offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. |
| · | The Temporary Price At Which We May Initially Buy The Securities 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 Securities — Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a market in the securities, 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 securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the securities. The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities 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 securities. |

Hypothetical Examples and Returns
The payout profile, return table and examples below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a $1,000 principal amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual starting component price of any Basket Component or ending level applicable to the securities. The actual maturity payment amount and resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities. You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the securities. These examples are for purposes of illustration only. The values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the securities.
| Upside Participation Rate: | 100% |
| Hypothetical Maximum Return: | 33.50% of the principal amount or $335.00 per security (the lowest possible maximum return that may be determined on the pricing date) |
| Starting Level: | 100.00 |
| Minimum Payment at Maturity: | $900.00 per security (90% of the principal amount) |
| Hypothetical Starting Component Price: | For each Basket Component, $100.00 |
The hypothetical starting component price of $100.00 for each Basket Component has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting component price for any Basket Component. The actual starting component price for each Basket Component will be determined on the pricing date and will be set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. The actual ending level will be based upon the stock closing prices of the Basket Components on the calculation day. For historical closing prices of the Basket Components and historical performance of the Basket, see the historical information set forth under the sections titled “The Basket,” “The Common Stock of Lockheed Martin Corporation,” “The Common Stock of Northrop Grumman Corporation,” and “The Common Stock of RTX Corporation” below. We cannot predict the level of the Basket or the stock closing price of any Basket Component on any day during the term of the securities, including on the calculation day.

| 0.00 | -100.00% | $900.00 | -10.00% |
Hypothetical Examples
Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater than the principal amount and reflects a return that is less than the maximum return:
| LMT Stock | NOC Stock | RTX Stock | |
| Hypothetical starting component price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Hypothetical ending component price: | $105.00 | $115.00 | $110.00 |
| Hypothetical component return: | 5.00% | 15.00% | 10.00% |
Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:
100 × [1 + (33.34% × 5.00%) + (33.33% × 15.00%) + (33.33% × 10.00%)] = 110.00
Therefore, the hypothetical ending level is 110.00, resulting in a basket return of 10.00%.
Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the principal amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:
(i) $1,000 × basket return × upside participation rate
= $1,000 × 10.00% × 100%
= $100.00; and
(ii) the maximum return of $335.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,100.00 per security.

Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater than the principal amount and reflects a return equal to the maximum return:
| LMT Stock | NOC Stock | RTX Stock | |
| Hypothetical starting component price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Hypothetical ending component price: | $185.00 | $160.00 | $135.00 |
| Hypothetical component return: | 85.00% | 60.00% | 35.00% |
Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:
100 × [1 + (33.34% × 85.00%) + (33.33% × 60.00%) + (33.33% × 35.00%)] = 160.00
Therefore, the hypothetical ending level is 160.00, resulting in a basket return of 60.00%.
Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the principal amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:
(i) $1,000 × basket return × upside participation rate
= $1,000 × 60.00% × 100%
= $600.00; and
(ii) the maximum return of $335.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,335.00 per security, which is the maximum maturity payment amount.
Example 3. Maturity payment amount is less than the principal amount and is greater than the minimum payment at maturity:
| LMT Stock | NOC Stock | RTX Stock | |
| Hypothetical starting component price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Hypothetical ending component price: | $90.00 | $87.50 | $107.50 |
| Hypothetical component return: | -10.00% | -12.50% | 7.50% |
Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:
100 × [1 + (33.34% ×-10.00%) + (33.33% × -12.50%) + (33.33% × 7.50%)] = 95.00
Therefore, the hypothetical ending level is 95.00, resulting in a basket return of -5.00%.
Because the hypothetical ending level is less than or equal to the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would equal the greater of:
(i) $1,000 + ($1,000 × basket return)
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -5.00%)
= $950.00; and
(ii) the minimum payment at maturity of $900.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $950.00 per security.
In this example, the significant decrease in two of the Basket Components has a significant impact on the ending level notwithstanding the percentage increase in the other Basket Component.
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

Example 4. Maturity payment amount is less than the principal amount and is equal to the minimum payment at maturity:
| LMT Stock | NOC Stock | RTX Stock | |
| Hypothetical starting component price: | $100.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Hypothetical ending component price: | $80.00 | $20.00 | $50.00 |
| Hypothetical component return: | -20.00% | -80.00% | -50.00% |
Based on the component returns set forth above, the hypothetical ending level would equal:
100 × [1 + (33.34% × -20.00%) + (33.33% × -80.00%) + (33.33% × -50.00%)] = 50.00
Therefore, the hypothetical ending level is 50.00, resulting in a basket return of -50.00%.
Because the hypothetical ending level is less than or equal to the starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would equal the greater of:
(i) $1,000 + ($1,000 × basket return)
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)
= $500.00; and
(ii) the minimum payment at maturity of $900.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $900.00 per security.
This example illustrates that the securities provide for the repayment of 90% of the principal amount at maturity even in scenarios in which the level of the Basket declines significantly from the starting level (subject to issuer credit risk).

Tax Considerations
There is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority. 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 Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.” The discussion below applies to you only if you are an initial purchaser of the securities; if you are a secondary purchaser of the securities, the tax consequences to you may be different. Notwithstanding that the securities do not provide for the full repayment of their principal amount at or prior to maturity, we intend to treat the securities as debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has advised that it believes this treatment to be reasonable. The remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment is correct.
Based on current market conditions, we intend to treat the securities as “contingent payment debt instruments” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as described under “—Contingent Payment Debt Instruments” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The remainder of this discussion assumes that this treatment is correct.
Assuming that our treatment of the securities as contingent payment debt instruments is correct, regardless of your method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be required to accrue taxable interest income in each year on a constant yield to maturity basis at the “comparable yield,” as determined by us, even though we will not be required to make any payment with respect to the securities prior to maturity. Upon a sale or exchange (including redemption at maturity), you generally will recognize taxable income or loss equal to the difference between the amount received from the sale or exchange and your adjusted tax basis in the securities. You generally must treat any income as interest income and any loss as ordinary loss to the extent of previous interest inclusions, and the balance as capital loss. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Special rules may apply if the amount payable at maturity is treated as becoming fixed prior to maturity. You should consult your tax advisor concerning the application of these rules.
Because our intended treatment of the securities as CPDIs is based on current market conditions, we may determine an alternative treatment is more appropriate based on circumstances at the time of pricing. Our ultimate determination will be binding on you, unless you properly disclose to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) an alternative treatment. Also, the IRS may challenge the treatment of the securities as CPDIs. If we determine not to treat the securities as CPDIs, or if the IRS successfully challenges the treatment of the securities as CPDIs, then the securities should be treated as debt instruments that are not CPDIs and, unless treated as issued with less than a specified de minimis amount of original issue discount, could (depending on the facts at the time of pricing) require the accrual of original issue discount as ordinary interest income based on a yield to maturity different from (and possibly higher than) the comparable yield. Accordingly, under this treatment, your annual taxable income from (and adjusted tax basis in) the securities could be higher or lower than if the securities were treated as CPDIs, and any loss recognized upon a disposition of the securities (including upon maturity) might be capital loss, the deductibility of which is subject to limitations. Accordingly, this alternative treatment could result in adverse tax consequences to you. The discussions herein and in the accompanying prospectus supplement do not address the consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b).
You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the securities, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.
Non-U.S. holders. We do not believe that non-U.S. holders should be required to provide a Form W-8 in order to avoid 30% U.S. withholding tax with respect to the excess (if any) of the payment at maturity over the face amount of the securities, although the IRS could challenge this position. 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 representation that the securities do not have a “delta of one” within the meaning of the regulations, our special tax counsel believes that these regulations should not apply to the securities with regard to non-U.S. holders, and we have determined to treat the securities as not being subject to Section 871(m). 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. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.
Non-U.S. holders should also discuss with their tax advisors the estate tax consequences of investing in the securities.
The discussions in the preceding paragraphs, when read in combination with the sections entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Securities Treated as Indebtedness for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes” and, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” in the

Comparable Yield and Projected Payment Schedule
We will provide the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule” for the securities in the final pricing supplement. The projected payment schedule for a security will consist of a single projected amount due at maturity.
In the final pricing supplement, the following table will state the amount of taxable interest income (without taking into account any adjustment to reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and the projected amount of the contingent payment on a security) that will be deemed to have accrued with respect to a security for each accrual period based upon the comparable yield and projected payment schedule.
| Accrual Period | Interest Deemed to Accrue During Accrual Period |
Total Interest Deemed to Have Accrued from Original Issue Date (per security) |
| November 20, 2025 through December 31, 2025 | $ | $ |

Neither the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual cash settlement amount that we will pay on the securities.
