If WFS, Barclays Capital Inc. or an affiliate of either agent participating as a dealer in the distribution of the securities conducts hedging activities for Barclays Bank PLC in connection with the securities, such agent or participating dealer will expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected profit will be in addition to any discount, concession or fee received in connection with the sale of the securities to you. This additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the agents or participating dealers to sell the securities to you.

Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities

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 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 results from several factors, including any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees 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 six 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 PS-9 of this pricing supplement.

 

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, by acquiring the securities, each holder and 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, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, 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 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 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.

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 ending level is less than the starting level by more than 20%, you will lose more than 20%, and possibly all, 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 Index, as explained in more detail in the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of this pricing supplement.

§

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.

§

You seek an investment with uncapped exposure to any positive performance of the Index.

 

§

You are unwilling or unable to accept the risks associated with an investment linked to the performance of the Index, as explained in more detail in the “Selected Risk Considerations” section of this pricing supplement.

 

§

§

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 PS-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. For more information about the Index, please see the section titled “The S&P 500^® Index” below.

 

Determining the Maturity Payment Amount

On the stated maturity date, you will receive a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

 

 

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the securities involves significant risks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing directly in the Index 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

 

·

If The Ending Level Is Less Than The Threshold Level, You Will Lose More Than 20%, And Possibly All, Of The Principal Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity — If the ending level is less than the threshold level, the maturity payment amount will be less than the principal amount and you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index from the starting level. The threshold level is 80% of the starting level. For example, if the Index has declined by 20.1% from the starting level to the ending level, you will not receive any benefit from the contingent downside feature and you will lose 20.1% of the principal amount per security. As a result, you will not receive any benefit from the contingent downside feature if the level of the Index declines significantly and you may lose more than 20%, and possibly all, of the principal amount at maturity, even if the level of the Index is greater than or equal to the starting level or the threshold level at certain times during the term of the securities.

 

·

Your Return Will Be Limited To The Maximum Return And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Securities Composing The Index — The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the level of the Index 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 Index, which may be significant. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Index. 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.

 

·

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 Closing Levels Of The Index On The Dates Specified — Any payment on the securities will be determined based on the closing levels of the Index on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable level of the Index determined at any other time.

 

·

Owning The Securities Is Not The Same As Owning The Securities Composing The Index — The return on your securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the securities composing the Index. 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 the securities composing the Index 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 Index will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the ending level will not be less than the threshold level. The level of the Index will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the Index and the securities composing the Index. You should be willing to accept the downside risks associated with equities in general and the Index in particular, and the risk of losing up to 100% of the principal amount.

 

·

The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Uncertain — There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, 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 securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the securities as prepaid forward contracts, as described below under “Tax Considerations.” If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities 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 securities, 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 or Derivative 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 securities (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

 

·

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, by acquiring the

 

securities, each holder and 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 Index

 

·

The Index Reflects The Price Return Of The Securities Composing The Index, Not The Total Return — The return on the securities is based on the performance of the Index, which reflects changes in the market prices of the securities composing the Index. The Index is not a “total return” index that, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. Accordingly, the return on the securities will not include such a total return feature.

 

·

We Cannot Control Actions Of Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included As Components Of The Index — Actions by any company whose securities are components of the Index may have an adverse effect on the price of its security, the closing level of the Index on the calculation day and the value of the securities. These unaffiliated companies will not be involved in the offering of the securities and will have no obligations with respect to the securities, including any obligation to take our or your interests into consideration for any reason. These companies will not receive any of the proceeds of the offering of the securities and will not be responsible for, and will not have participated in, the determination of the timing of, prices for, or quantities of, the securities to be issued. These companies will not be involved with the administration, marketing or trading of the securities and will have no obligations with respect to any amounts to be paid to you on the securities.

 

·

We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation With The Index Sponsor And Have Not Independently Verified Its Public Disclosure Of Information — We, our affiliates and WFS and its affiliates are not affiliated in any way with the index sponsor and have no ability to control or predict its actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of disclosure regarding its methods or policies relating to the calculation of the Index. We have derived the information about the Index contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying underlying supplement from publicly available information, without independent verification. You, as an investor in the securities, should make your own investigation into the Index and the index sponsor. The index sponsor will not be involved in the offering of the securities made hereby in any way, and the index sponsor does not have any obligation to consider your interests as an owner of the securities in taking any actions that might affect the value of the securities.

Adjustments To The Index Could Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities And The Amount You Will Receive At Maturity — The sponsor of the Index (the “index sponsor”) may add, delete, substitute or adjust the securities composing the Index or make other methodological changes to the Index that could affect its performance. The calculation agent will calculate the value to be used as the closing level of the Index in the event of certain material changes in or modifications to the Index. In addition, the index sponsor may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the Index at any time. Under these circumstances, the calculation agent may select a successor index that the calculation agent determines to be comparable to the discontinued index or, if no successor index is available, the calculation agent will determine the value to be used as the closing level of the Index. Any of these actions could adversely affect the level of the Index and, consequently, the value of the securities. See “General Terms of the Securities—Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Index—Adjustments to an Index” and “—Discontinuance of an Index” in the accompanying product supplement.

 

·

The Historical Performance Of The Index Is Not An Indication Of Its Future Performance — The historical performance of the Index should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Index. It is impossible to predict whether the closing level of the Index 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 level of the Index 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 the Index 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 Index or its 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 levels of the Index and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, we may be required to make discretionary judgments, including determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on any date that the level of the Index is to be determined; if the Index is discontinued or if the sponsor of the Index fails to publish the Index, selecting a successor index or, if no successor index is available, determining any value necessary to calculate any payments on the securities; and calculating the level of the Index on any date of determination in the event of certain changes in or modifications to the Index. 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 level of the Index 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 Index and the securities composing the Index;

 

·

the time to maturity of the securities;

 

·

the market prices of, and dividend rates on, the securities composing the Index;

 

·

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 Lower Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities — The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is 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 a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions, selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees 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 value referenced above might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

 

·

The Estimated Value Of The 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 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 level, threshold level 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:	250%
Maximum Return:	87.00% or $870.00 per security
Hypothetical Starting Level:	100.00
Hypothetical Threshold Level:	80.00 (80% of the hypothetical starting level)

 

The hypothetical starting level of 100.00 has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting level. The actual starting level and threshold level are set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above and the actual ending level will be the closing level of the Index on the calculation day. For historical closing levels of the Index, see the historical information set forth under the section titled “The S&P 500^® Index” below. We cannot predict the closing level of the Index on any day during the term of the securities, including on the calculation day.

Hypothetical Returns

 

Hypothetical ending level	Hypothetical index return	Hypothetical maturity payment amount per security	Hypothetical pre-tax total rate of return
175.00	75.00%	$1,870.00	87.00%
150.00	50.00%	$1,870.00	87.00%
140.00	40.00%	$1,870.00	87.00%
134.80	34.80%	$1,870.00	87.00%
130.00	30.00%	$1,750.00	75.00%
120.00	20.00%	$1,500.00	50.00%
110.00	10.00%	$1,250.00	25.00%
105.00	5.00%	$1,125.00	12.50%
100.00	0.00%	$1,000.00	0.00%
95.00	-5.00%	$1,000.00	0.00%
90.00	-10.00%	$1,000.00	0.00%
80.00	-20.00%	$1,000.00	0.00%
79.00	-21.00%	$790.00	-21.00%
75.00	-25.00%	$750.00	-25.00%
50.00	-50.00%	$500.00	-50.00%
25.00	-75.00%	$250.00	-75.00%
0.00	-100.00%	$0.00	-100.00%

 

Hypothetical Examples

 

Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater than the principal amount and reflects a return that is less than the maximum return:

 

Hypothetical starting level: 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 110.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 80.00
Hypothetical index return: 10.00%

 

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical 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 × index return × upside participation rate

 

= $1,000 × 10.00% × 250%

 

= $250.00; and

 

(ii) the maximum return of $870.00

 

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,250.00 per security.

 

Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater than the principal amount and reflects a return equal to the maximum return:

 

Hypothetical starting level: 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 150.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 80.00
Hypothetical index return: 50.00%

 

Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical 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 × index return × upside participation rate

 

= $1,000 × 50.00% × 250%

 

= $1,250.00; and

 

(ii) the maximum return of $870.00

 

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,870.00 per security, which is the maximum maturity payment amount.

 

In addition to limiting your return on the securities, the maximum return limits the positive effect of the upside participation rate. If the ending level is greater than the starting level, you will participate in the performance of the Index at a rate of 250% up to a certain point. However, under the terms of the securities, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for ending levels that are greater than 134.80% of the starting level because your return on the securities for any ending level greater than 134.80% of the starting level will be limited to the maximum return.

 

Example 3. Maturity payment amount is equal to the principal amount:

 

Hypothetical starting level: 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 90.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 80.00
Hypothetical index return: -10.00%

 

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level, but not by more than 20%, you would not lose any of the principal amount of your securities.

 

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.

 

Example 4. Maturity payment amount is less than the principal amount:

 

Hypothetical starting level: 100.00
Hypothetical ending level: 50.00
Hypothetical threshold level: 80.00
Hypothetical index return: -50.00%

 

Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level by more than 20%, you would lose a portion of the principal amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:

 

$1,000 + ($1,000 × index return)

 

= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)

 

= $500.00

 

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $500.00 per security.

 

The S&P 500^® Index

The Index consists of stocks of 500 companies selected to provide a performance benchmark for the U.S. equity markets. For more information about the Index, see “Indices—The S&P U.S. Indices” in the accompanying underlying supplement.

 

Historical Information

 

We obtained the closing levels displayed in the graph below from Bloomberg Professional^® service without independent verification. The historical performance of the Index should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Index. Future performance of the Index may differ significantly from historical performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing levels of the Index during the term of the securities, including on the calculation day. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Index will not result in a loss on your initial investment.

 

The following graph sets forth daily closing levels of the Index for the period from January 1, 2017 to January 31, 2023. The closing level on January 31, 2023 was 4,076.60.

 

* The dotted line indicates the threshold level of 80% of the starting level.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

 

Tax Considerations

You should review carefully the sections in the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement, “—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 securities. The following discussion supersedes the discussion in the accompanying prospectus supplement to the extent it is inconsistent therewith.

 

Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, it is reasonable to treat the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with respect to the Index. Assuming this treatment is respected, if you are a U.S. holder, as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement, upon a sale or exchange of the securities (including redemption at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your tax basis in the securities, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the securities. This gain or loss on your securities should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your securities for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of the securities at the original issue price. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. 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 securities 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 securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, 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, 2025 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. 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.

 

Validity of the Securities

In the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, as special United States products counsel to Barclays Bank PLC, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by Barclays Bank PLC and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture, and delivered against payment as contemplated herein, such securities will be valid and binding obligations of Barclays Bank PLC, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, concepts of reasonableness and equitable principles of general applicability (including, without limitation, concepts of good faith, fair dealing and the lack of bad faith) and possible judicial or regulatory actions or application giving effect to governmental actions or foreign laws affecting creditors’ rights, provided that such counsel expresses no opinion as to the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by English law, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP has relied, with Barclays Bank PLC’s permission, on the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP, dated as of May 23, 2022, filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form F-3ASR by Barclays Bank PLC on May 23, 2022, and this opinion is subject to the same assumptions, qualifications and limitations as set forth in such opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell London LLP. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and its authentication of the securities and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, dated May 23, 2022, which has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement referred to above.
