Yes

Note that the designation "yes" simply means that the Securities are intended upon issue to be deposited with one of the International Central Securities Depositaries (ICSDs) as common safekeeper and does not necessarily mean that the Securities will be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any or all times during their life. Such recognition will depend upon the ECB being satisfied that Eurosystem eligibility criteria have been met.

11 OFFER INFORMATION

The Issue Price includes a commission element shared with a third party, which will be no more than 2.50 per cent. of the Issue Price. Further details of the commission element are available upon request.

Barclays relies on and looks towards the intermediary to comply with the Swiss law obligation regarding retrocession and, when applicable, will disclose or forward any retrocession payment he receives from a Barclays entity to his client, unless the intermediary and his client have validly agreed

otherwise. Since Barclays does not know the identity of the intermediary's client, it is impossible for Barclays to disclose such retrocession payments to the client of the intermediary. As a consequence thereof, the intermediary herewith undertakes to duly fulfil all legal requirements under Swiss law.
