If you hold the Notes to maturity, you will receive on the Maturity Date a cash payment per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold determined as follows:
■
If the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Buffer Value, you will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × Digital Percentage]
Assuming the Digital Percentage is set at 7.25%, if the Reference Asset Return is -10.00% or more, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,072.50 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold.
■
If the Final Value is less than the Buffer Value, you will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount Note calculated as follows:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (Reference Asset Return + Buffer Percentage)]
If the Final Value is less than the Buffer Value, you will lose 1.00% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1.00% that the Reference Asset Return falls below -10.00%. You may lose up to 90.00% of the principal amount of your Notes 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. If Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (or any other resolution measure) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes. See Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power and Selected Risk Considerations in this pricing supplement and Risk Factors in the accompanying prospectus supplement for more information.
|
Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power:
|
Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other terms of the Notes or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, by acquiring the Notes, each holder and 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. See Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power on page PS4 of this pricing supplement.

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 $970.00 and $1,000 per 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.

Our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date, based on our internal pricing models, is expected to be between $930.00 and $959.40 per 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 PS5 of this pricing supplement.

|
●

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 Final Value of the Reference Asset is less than the Buffer Value, you will lose 1.00% of the principal amount of your Notes for every 1.00% that the Reference Asset Return falls below -10.00%. You may lose up to 90.00% of the principal amount of your Notes.
|
●
|
Potential Return is Limited to the Digital Percentage—If the Final Value is greater than or equal to the Buffer Value, you will receive a payment at maturity of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold plus an additional payment that will not exceed $1,000 times the Digital Percentage. Assuming the Digital Percentage is set at 7.25%, the maximum payment that you may receive at maturity is $1,072.50 per $1,000 principal amount Note that you hold and you will not benefit from any appreciation of the Reference Asset beyond the Digital Percentage, which may be significant.
|
●
|
The Payment at Maturity of Your Notes is Based Solely on the Closing Value of the Reference Asset on the Final Valuation Date—The Final Value of the Reference Asset will be based solely on the Closing Value on the Final Valuation Date, and your payment at maturity will be determined based solely on the performance of the Reference Asset from the Initial Valuation Date to the Final Valuation Date.. Accordingly, if the value of the Reference Asset drops on the Final Valuation Date, the payment at maturity on the Notes may be significantly less than it would have been had it been linked to the value of the Reference Asset at any time prior to such drop.
|
●
|
Owning the Notes is Not the Same as Owning A Reference Asset or Any Securities to which A Reference Asset Provides Exposure—The return on the Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned a Reference Asset or any securities to which a Reference Asset provides exposure. As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights that holders of a Reference Asset or any securities to which a Reference Asset provides exposure may 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 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 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.
|
●
|
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 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, by acquiring the Notes, each holder and 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 the 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
|
●
|
The Reference Asset Reflects the Price Return of the Securities Composing the Reference Asset, Not the Total Return—The return on the Notes is based on the performance of the Reference Asset, which reflects changes in the market prices of the securities composing the Reference Asset. The Reference Asset is not a total return index that, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Reference Asset. Accordingly, the return on the Notes will not include such a total return feature.
|
●
|
Adjustments to the Reference Asset Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes—The sponsor of the Reference Asset may add, delete, substitute or adjust the securities composing the Reference Asset or make other methodological changes to the Reference Asset that could affect its value. The Calculation Agent will calculate the value to be used as the Closing Value of the Reference Asset in the event of certain material changes in or modifications to the Reference Asset. In addition, the sponsor of the Reference Asset may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of the Reference Asset at any time. Under these circumstances, the Calculation Agent may select a successor index that the Calculation Agent determines to be comparable to the Reference Asset or, if no successor index is available, the Calculation Agent will determine the value to be used as the Closing Value of the Reference Asset. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the Reference Asset and, consequently, the value of the Notes. See Reference Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Index as a Reference Asset in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
|
●
|
Historical Performance of the Reference Asset Should Not Be Taken as Any Indication of the Future Performance of the Reference Asset Over the Term of the Notes—The value of the Reference Asset has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. The historical performance of the Reference Asset is not an indication of the future performance of the Reference Asset over the term of the Notes. Therefore, the performance of the Reference Asset over the term of the Notes may bear no relation or resemblance to the historical performance of the Reference Asset.
|
●
|
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.
|
●
|
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 a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees (including any structuring or other distribution related fees) to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.
|
●
|
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Might be Lower if Such Estimated Value Were Based on the Levels at Which Our Debt Securities Trade in the Secondary Market—The estimated value of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is based on a number of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated value referenced above might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.
|
●
|
The Estimated Value of the Notes is Based on Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove to be Inaccurate and May be Different from the Pricing Models of Other Financial Institutions—The estimated value of your Notes on the Initial Valuation Date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions which may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your Notes may be materially different from the estimated value of the Notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models.
|
●
|
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, if any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely be Lower Than the Initial Issue Price of Your Notes and May be Lower Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes—The estimated value of the Notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your Notes in the secondary market at any time will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related to the Notes such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your Notes will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
●
|
The Temporary Price at Which We May Initially Buy The Notes in the Secondary Market And the Value We May Initially Use for Customer Account Statements, If We Provide Any Customer Account Statements At All, May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes—Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Initial Valuation Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a market in the Notes, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value of the Notes on the Initial Valuation Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the initial Issue Date of the Notes. The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.
|
●
|
Lack of Liquidity—The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Notes but are not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Barclays Capital Inc. may at any time hold unsold inventory, which may inhibit the development of a secondary market for the Notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Notes. The Notes are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold your Notes to maturity.
|
●
|
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes—The value of the Notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that interact in complex and unpredictable ways and that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
|
o
|
the market price of, dividend rate on and expected volatility of the Reference Asset or the components of the Reference Asset, if any;
|
o
|
the time to maturity of the Notes;
|
o
|
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
|
o
|
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events;
|
o
|
supply and demand for the Notes; and
|
o
|
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
