Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Barclays Bank PLC is offering unsecured auto-callable barrier notes linked to four tech stocks—Salesforce, Intel, NVIDIA and Twilio—under its global medium-term note program. The Notes pay no interest and do not guarantee return of principal. Instead, on 48 scheduled Observation Dates from February 1, 2027 through the Final Valuation Date on January 30, 2031, the Notes are automatically redeemed if the Closing Value of each Underlier is at or above 75% of its Initial Underlier Value, triggering a fixed Redemption Premium that steps up over time from 22.600% on the first Observation Date to 113.000% on the Final Valuation Date.

If the Notes are not automatically redeemed, principal is repaid at maturity only under specific conditions based on the “Least Performing” and “Best Performing” Underliers and a barrier equal to 60.00% of each Initial Underlier Value. If any Underlier finishes below its Barrier Value and all Underliers are below their Initial Underlier Values, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss on the Least Performing Underlier, up to a total loss of principal. Payments are subject to Barclays’ credit risk and to potential write-down, conversion or cancellation under the U.K. Bail-in Power, and the Notes will not be listed on any U.S. securities exchange.

Autocallable Notes due February 4, 2031

Linked to the Common Stock of Salesforce, Inc., the Common Stock of Intel Corporation, the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation and the Class A Common Stock of Twilio Inc.

Global Medium-Term Notes, Series A

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Notes do not pay interest or guarantee the return of the full principal amount at maturity. Instead, as described below, the Notes will be automatically redeemed for a Redemption Premium if the Closing Value of each Underlier on any Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value. Investors should be willing to forgo dividend payments and, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed and the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, be willing to lose a significant portion or all of their investment at maturity. Investors will be exposed to the market risk of each Underlier and any decline in the value of one Underlier may negatively affect their return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or, for purposes of determining whether the Notes will be automatically redeemed, by any potential increase in the values of the other Underliers.

Payment at Maturity:

If the Notes are not automatically redeemed, you will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount Note determined as follows:

§  If the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Call Value and greater than or equal to its Barrier Value, you will receive a payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note

§  If (a) the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and (b) the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note

§  If (a) the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and (b) the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, you will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier) 

If the Notes are not automatically redeemed and the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, your Notes will be fully exposed to the decline of the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value and you will lose a significant portion or all of your investment at maturity. Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is not guaranteed by any third party and is subject to (a) the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC and (b) the risk of exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as described on page PS-4 of this pricing supplement) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. See “Selected Risk Considerations” and “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

(1)Because dealers who purchase the Notes for sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all selling concessions, fees or commissions, the public offering price for investors purchasing the Notes in such fee-based advisory accounts may be between $987.50 and $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note. Investors that hold their Notes in fee-based advisory or trust accounts may be charged fees by the investment advisor or manager of such account based on the amount of assets held in those accounts, including the Notes.

(2)Our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date, based on our internal pricing models, is expected to be between $914.00 and $994.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note. The estimated value is expected to be less than the initial issue price of the Notes. See “Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Notes” on page PS-5 of this pricing supplement.

(3)Barclays Capital Inc. will receive commissions from the Issuer of up to $12.50 per $1,000 principal amount Note. Barclays Capital Inc. will use these commissions to pay variable selling concessions or fees (including custodial or clearing fees) to other dealers. The actual commission received by Barclays Capital Inc. will be equal to the selling concession paid to such dealers.

Investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-9 of the prospectus supplement and “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page PS-10 of this pricing supplement.

The Notes will not be listed on any U.S. securities exchange or quotation system.

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

 

The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Initial Valuation Date, based on prevailing market conditions on or prior to the Initial Valuation Date, and will be communicated to investors either orally 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 Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the Notes 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 Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is expected to be 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 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 Notes, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs that 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 that 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 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 Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

 

We urge you to read the Selected Risk Considerationsbeginning on page PS-10 of this pricing supplement.

 

You may revoke your offer to purchase the Notes at any time prior to the Initial Valuation Date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Notes prior to the Initial Valuation Date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, 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.

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 periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income.

 

·You understand and accept that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlier, which may be significant, and that your potential return on the Notes is limited to the applicable Redemption Premium, if any, paid on the Notes.

 

·You can tolerate a loss of a significant portion or all of your principal amount if the Notes are not automatically redeemed and the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, 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 Underlier.

 

·You anticipate that the Closing Value of each Underlier will be greater than or equal to its Call Value on at least one Observation Date.

 

·You are willing and able to accept the individual market risk of each Underlier and understand that any decline in the value of one Underlier will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or, for purposes of determining whether the Notes will be automatically redeemed, by any potential increase in the value of any other Underlier.

 

·You understand and accept the risk that, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed, and if the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, the payment at maturity, if any, will be based solely on the Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier.

 

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

 

·You understand and accept that you will not be entitled to receive dividends or distributions that may be paid to holders of the Underliers, nor will you have any voting rights with respect to the Underliers.

 

·You are willing and able to accept the risk that the Notes may be automatically redeemed 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 that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the value of the Underliers.

 

·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 automatically 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 periodic interest or coupon payments or other sources of current income.

 

·You seek an investment that participates in the full appreciation of any or all of the Underliers rather than an investment with a return that is limited to the applicable Redemption Premium, 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 a significant portion or all of the principal amount of your Notes in the event that the Notes are not automatically redeemed and the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier falls below its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier falls below its Initial Underlier Value.

 

·You anticipate that the Closing Value of at least one Underlier will be less than its Call Value on each Observation Date.

 

·You are unwilling or unable to accept the individual market risk of each Underlier and/or do not understand that any decline in the value of one Underlier will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or, for purposes of determining whether the Notes will be automatically redeemed, by any potential increase in the value of any other Underlier.

 

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

 

·You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that the negative performance of any Underlier may cause you to not receive a Call Premium, regardless of the performance of any other Underlier.

 

·You seek an investment that entitles you to dividends or distributions on, or voting rights related to, the Underliers.

 

·You are unwilling or unable to accept the risk that the Notes may be automatically redeemed.

 

·You cannot tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Notes that may be similar to or exceed the downside fluctuations in the value of the Underliers.

 

·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 automatically 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, the prospectus and the prospectus supplement. Neither the Issuer nor Barclays Capital Inc. makes any recommendation as to the appropriateness of the Notes for investment.

§Hypothetical Call Value for each Underlier: $75.00 (75.00% of the hypothetical Initial Underlier Value set forth above)*

§Redemption Premiums equal to the Redemption Premiums set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement

 

*The hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of $100.00 and the hypothetical Call Value of $75.00 for each Underlier have been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent likely actual Initial Underlier Values or Call Values for the Underliers. The actual Initial Underlier Value for each Underlier will be equal to its Closing Value on the Initial Valuation Date and the actual Call Value for each Underlier will be equal to 75.00% of its Initial Underlier Value.

 

For information regarding recent values of the Underliers, please see “Information Regarding the Underliers” in this pricing supplement.

Because the Closing Value of each Underlier on the first Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the Notes are automatically redeemed on the related Redemption Settlement Date. You will receive on the relevant Redemption Settlement Date a cash payment of $1,226.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, which is equal to your principal amount plus a return equal to the applicable Redemption Premium. No further amounts will be payable on the Notes after they have been automatically redeemed.

Because the Closing Value of each Underlier on the Final Valuation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Value, the Notes are automatically redeemed on the related Redemption Settlement Date, which is the Maturity Date. You will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment of $2,130.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note, which is equal to your principal amount plus a return equal to the applicable Redemption Premium.

 

If the Closing Value of at least one Underlier is below its Call Value on each Observation Date, the Notes will not be automatically redeemed and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment at maturity. See “Hypothetical Examples of Amounts Payable at Maturity” below.

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 Underlier Value of each Underlier: $100.00*

§Hypothetical Call Value for each Underlier: $75.00 (75.00% of the hypothetical Initial Underlier Value set forth above)*

§Hypothetical Barrier Value for each Underlier: $60.00 (60.00% of the hypothetical Initial Underlier Value set forth above)*

§You hold the Notes to maturity, and the Notes are NOT automatically redeemed.

 

*The hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of $100.00, the hypothetical Call Value of $75.00 and the hypothetical Barrier Value of $60.00 for each Underlier have been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent likely actual Initial Underlier Values, Call Values or Barrier Values for the Underliers. The actual Initial Underlier Value for each Underlier will be equal to its Closing Value on the Initial Valuation Date, and the actual Call Value and Barrier Value for each Underlier will be equal to 75.00% and 60.00%, respectively, of its Initial Underlier Value.

$0.00 -100.00% $0.00 -100.00% $1,000.00 0.00%

 

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

 

Example 1: The Final Underlier Value of the CRM Underlier is $67.50, the Final Underlier Value of the INTC Underlier is $140.00, the Final Underlier Value of the NVDA Underlier is $100.00 and the Final Underlier Value of the TWLO Underlier is $95.00.

 

Because the CRM Underlier has the lowest Underlier Return, the CRM Underlier is the Least Performing Underlier. Because the Notes are not automatically redeemed on any Observation Date and the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold, regardless of the performance of any other Underlier.

 

Example 2: The Final Underlier Value of the CRM Underlier is $120.00, the Final Underlier Value of the INTC Underlier is $90.00, the Final Underlier Value of the NVDA Underlier is $30.00 and the Final Underlier Value of the TWLO Underlier is $85.00.

 

Because the NVDA Underlier has the lowest Underlier Return, the NVDA Underlier is the Least Performing Underlier. Because the CRM Underlier has the highest Underlier Return, the CRM Underlier is the Best Performing Underlier. Because the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier

 

PS-8

 

is greater than or equal to its Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold.

 

Example 2 demonstrates that, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold if the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is greater than or equal to its Initial Underlier Value, regardless of the Final Underlier Value of any other Underlier.

 

Example 3: The Final Underlier Value of the CRM Underlier is $90.00, the Final Underlier Value of the INTC Underlier is $40.00, the Final Underlier Value of the NVDA Underlier is $80.00 and the Final Underlier Value of the TWLO Underlier is $95.00.

 

Because the INTC Underlier has the lowest Underlier Return, the INTC Underlier is the Least Performing Underlier. Because the TWLO Underlier has the highest Underlier Return, the TWLO Underlier is the Best Performing Underlier. Because the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $400.00 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold, calculated as follows:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier)

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -60.00%) = $400.00

 

Example 3 demonstrates that, if the Notes are not automatically redeemed, and if the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, your investment in the Notes will be fully exposed to the decline of the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value. Under these circumstances, you will not benefit in any way from the Underlier Return of any other Underlier being higher than the Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier.

 

If the Notes are not automatically redeemed, 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 Underliers. 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 automatically redeemed, and if the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, your Notes will be fully exposed to the decline of the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value. You may lose up to 100.00% of the principal amount of your Notes.

 

·Your Potential Return on the Notes Is Limited to the Applicable Redemption Premium, If Any, and You Will Not Participate in Any Appreciation of Any Underlier— You will receive a positive return on the Notes only if the Notes are automatically redeemed. Any positive return on the Notes will be limited to the Redemption Premium applicable to the relevant Observation Date and will not be based on the amount of any appreciation in the value of any Underlier, which may be significant, even though you will be fully exposed to the depreciation in the value of the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value if the Notes are not automatically redeemed and the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value.

 

·No Interest Payments—As a holder of the Notes, you will not receive interest payments.

 

·Because the Notes Are Linked to Multiple Underliers Individually, You Are Exposed to Greater Risks of Not Receiving a Redemption Premium and Sustaining a Significant Loss of Principal at Maturity Than If the Notes Were Linked to a Single Underlier—The risk that you will not receive a Redemption Premium 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 Underlier. With multiple Underliers, it is more likely that the Closing Value of at least one Underlier will be less than its Call Value on the specified Observation Dates or less than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date and, therefore, it is more likely that you will not receive a Redemption Premium and/or that you will suffer a loss of a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity. Further, the performance of the Underliers may not be correlated or may be negatively correlated. The lower the correlation between multiple Underliers, the greater the potential for one of those Underliers to close below its Call Value or Barrier Value on an Observation Date or the Final Valuation Date, respectively.

 

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

 

Although the correlation of the Underliers’ performance may change over the term of the Notes, the Redemption Premiums are determined, in part, based on the correlation of the Underliers’ performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. Higher Redemption Premiums are generally associated with lower correlation of the Underliers, which reflects a greater potential for not receiving a Redemption Premium and a loss of principal at maturity.

 

·You Are Exposed to the Market Risk of Each Underlier—Your return on the Notes is not linked to a basket consisting of the Underliers. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each Underlier. 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 Underlier. Poor performance by any Underlier over the term of the Notes may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or, for purposes of determining whether the Notes will be automatically redeemed, by any potential increase in the values of the other Underliers. To receive a Redemption Premium, the Closing Value of each Underlier must be greater than or equal to its Call Value on an Observation Date. If the Notes are not automatically redeemed, and if the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Barrier Value and the Final Underlier Value of the Best Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value, you will be fully exposed to the decline of the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each Underlier.

 

·Automatic 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 automatically redeemed prior to maturity for a term that could be as short as approximately one year. 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 automatically redeemed prior to the Maturity Date. No additional payments will be due after an automatic redemption. The automatic redemption feature of the Notes may also adversely impact your ability to sell your Notes and the price at which they may be sold.

 

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

 

·Contingent Repayment of the Principal Amount Applies Only at Maturity or upon Any Automatic Redemption—You should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity or any automatic redemption. If you sell your Notes prior to such time in the

 

PS-10

 

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 Underlier has increased from its Initial Underlier Value. See “—Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Notes and the Secondary Market—Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes” below.

 

·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 Redemption Premiums are determined based on a number of factors, including the expected volatility of the Underliers. The Redemption Premiums reflect 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 be if the level of expected volatility of the Underliers taken into account in determining the terms of the Notes were lower. As volatility of an Underlier increases, there will typically be a greater likelihood that (a) the Closing Value of that Underlier will be less than its Call Value on an Observation Date and (b) the Final Underlier Value of that Underlier will be less than its Barrier Value.

 

Accordingly, you should understand that higher Redemption Premiums reflect, among other things, an indication of a greater likelihood that you will (a) not receive a Redemption Premium and/or (b) incur a loss of principal at maturity than would have been the case had the Redemption Premiums been lower. In addition, actual volatility over the term of the Notes may be significantly higher than 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 a Redemption Premium and/or that you will lose a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity for the reasons described above.

 

·Owning the Notes Is Not the Same as Owning the Underliers—The return on the Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underliers. As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Underliers would have.

 

·The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Notes Are Uncertain—There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes, and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the Notes as prepaid forward contracts, as described below under “Tax Considerations.” If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Notes, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Notes could be materially and adversely affected.

 

In addition, in 2007 the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders,” and consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Notes (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

 

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

 

PS-11

 

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 Underliers

 

·There Are Risks Associated with Single Equities—The price of each Underlier can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that Underlier 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 Underlier.

 

·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 corporate events (such as stock splits or extraordinary or special dividends) that the Calculation Agent determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of an Underlier. However, the Calculation Agent might not make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect an Underlier. 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 the market price of, and any amounts payable on, the Notes. See “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

·Reorganization or Other Events Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes or Result in the Notes Being Accelerated— Upon the occurrence of certain reorganization events or a nationalization, expropriation, liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency or de-listing of an Underlier, the Calculation Agent may replace that Underlier with shares of another company identified as described in the prospectus supplement or, in some cases, with shares, cash or other assets distributed to holders of that Underlier upon the occurrence of that event. In the alternative, the Calculation Agent may accelerate the Maturity Date for a payment determined by the Calculation Agent or may make other changes to the terms of the Notes to account for the occurrence of that event. Any decision by the Calculation Agent to replace an Underlier, to accelerate the Notes or to otherwise adjust the terms of the Notes could adversely affect the value of, and any amount payable on, the Notes, perhaps significantly, and could result in a significantly lower return on the Notes than if the Calculation Agent had made a different decision. See “Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

·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 an Underlier, 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.

 

·Historical Performance of the Underliers Should Not Be Taken as Any Indication of the Future Performance of the Underliers Over the Term of the Notes—The value of each Underlier has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. The historical performance of an Underlier is not an indication of the future performance of that Underlier over the term of the Notes. The historical correlation between the Underliers is not an indication of the future correlation between them over the term of the Notes. Therefore, the performance of the Underliers 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 Underlier.

 

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 Underliers. 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 an

 

PS-12

 

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 Underliers and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the Notes. In making these determinations, we may be required to make discretionary judgments, including those described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and under “—Risks Relating to the Underliers” above. 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

 

·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 able and willing 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 prices of, dividend rates on and expected volatility of the Underliers;

 

ocorrelation (or lack of correlation) of the Underliers;

 

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.

 

·The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected to Be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes—The estimated value of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly 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 expected as a result of certain factors, such as 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 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 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 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.

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 Contracts” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.” The following discussion, when read in combination with those sections, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Notes.

 

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with respect to the Underliers. Assuming this treatment is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the Notes (including redemption upon an automatic call or 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. This gain or loss on your Notes should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Notes for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Notes at the original issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Notes could be materially and adversely 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; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. 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 and adversely 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.

 

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, we expect that these regulations will 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. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the Notes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.

FAQ

What are the Barclays auto-callable barrier notes linked to Salesforce, Intel, NVIDIA and Twilio (ATMP)?

The Notes are unsecured obligations of Barclays Bank PLC that pay no interest and return cash only through automatic redemption or payment at maturity based on the performance of Salesforce, Intel, NVIDIA and Twilio shares, each defined as an Underlier.

How can investors earn a return on these Barclays ATMP-linked notes?

A return is earned if, on an Observation Date, the Closing Value of each Underlier is at or above its Call Value, set at 75.00% of its Initial Underlier Value. The Notes are then automatically redeemed at $1,000 plus a fixed Redemption Premium that ranges from 22.600% on the first Observation Date up to 113.000% on the Final Valuation Date.

What happens at maturity if the Barclays notes are not automatically redeemed?

If not redeemed early, the maturity payment per $1,000 Note depends on the Least Performing Underlier and the Best Performing Underlier. Full principal is repaid if the Least Performing Underlier is at or above its Barrier Value (60% of Initial) or if the Best Performing Underlier is at or above its Initial Underlier Value. If the Least Performing Underlier is below its Barrier and the Best Performing Underlier is below its Initial value, repayment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier, which can mean losing some or all principal.

What is the barrier level on these Barclays ATMP-linked notes and why is it important?

Each Underlier has a Barrier Value equal to 60.00% of its Initial Underlier Value. If, at maturity, any Underlier closes below its Barrier and all Underliers are below their Initial values, the Notes are fully exposed to the decline of the Least Performing Underlier, which can reduce the payment to as low as $0 per $1,000 principal amount.

What risks are associated with the Barclays auto-callable notes tied to Salesforce, Intel, NVIDIA and Twilio?

Key risks include the possibility of losing a significant portion or all principal, no interest or dividend payments, dependence on the worst-performing stock, complex payoff rules, lack of listing on a U.S. exchange, and exposure to Barclays Bank PLC credit risk and the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power, which can result in write-down, conversion, modification or cancellation of the Notes.

How are these Barclays ATMP-linked notes treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes?

Barclays’ special tax counsel considers it reasonable to treat the Notes as prepaid forward contracts on the Underliers. Under that approach, gain or loss on sale, automatic call or maturity is generally capital gain or loss, potentially long-term if held more than one year. The discussion notes that future guidance on prepaid forward contracts could change tax consequences, possibly with retroactive effect.

What is the U.K. Bail-in Power and how can it affect holders of these Barclays notes?

By acquiring the Notes, holders consent to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority under the U.K. Banking Act 2009. This power can reduce or cancel principal or interest, convert amounts owed into shares or other obligations, cancel the Notes, or change payment terms, including maturity or payment dates.
