B.2 Domicile and
legal form of
the Issuer,

under which the
Issuer operates
and country of
incorporation of
Issuer

The Issuer was incorporated on 7 August 1925 under the Colonial Bank Act
1925 and, on 4 October 1971, was registered as a company limited by
shares under the Companies Act 1948 to 1967. Pursuant to The Barclays
Bank Act 1984, on 1 January 1985, the Issuer was re-registered as a public
limited company.
B.4b Known trends
affecting the
Issuer and
industries in
which the Issuer
operates
The business and earnings of the Issuer and its subsidiary undertakings
(together, the "Group") can be affected by the fiscal or other policies and
other actions of various governmental and regulatory authorities in the UK,
EU, US and elsewhere, which are all subject to change. The regulatory
response to the financial crisis has led and will continue to lead to very
substantial regulatory changes in the UK, EU and US and in other countries
in which the Group operates. It has also (amongst other things) led to (i) a
more assertive approach being demonstrated by the authorities in many
jurisdictions; and (ii) enhanced capital and liquidity requirements (for
example pursuant to the Capital Requirements Directive 4). Any future
regulatory changes may restrict the Group's operations, mandate certain
lending activity and impose other, significant compliance costs.
Known trends affecting the Issuer and the industry in which the Issuer
operates include:

continuing political and regulatory scrutiny of the banking
industry which is leading to increased or changing regulation that
is likely to have a significant effect on the industry;

general
changes
in
regulatory
requirements,
for
example,
prudential rules relating to the capital adequacy framework and
rules designed to promote financial stability and increase depositor
protection;

the US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, which contains far reaching regulatory reform (including
restrictions on proprietary trading and fund-related activities (the
so-called "Volcker rule"));

recommendations by the Independent Commission on Banking
that: (i) the UK and EEA retail banking activities of a UK bank or
building society should be placed in a legally distinct, operationally
separate and economically independent entity (so-called 'ring
fencing'); and (ii) the loss-absorbing capacity of ring-fenced banks
and UK-headquartered global systemically important banks (such
as the Issuer) should be increased to levels higher than the Basel 3
proposals;

investigations by the Office of Fair Trading into Visa and
MasterCard credit and debit interchange rates, which may have an
impact on the consumer credit industry;

investigations by regulatory bodies in the UK, EU and US into
submissions made by the Issuer and other panel members to the
bodies that set various interbank offered rates such as the London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the Euro Interbank Offered
Rate ("EURIBOR"); and

changes in competition and pricing environments.

same or different issue dates. The Securities of each Series are
intended to be interchangeable with all other Securities of that
Series. Each Series will be allocated a unique Series number and an
identification code.

or political subdivision thereof or therein) unless such withholding
or deduction is required by law. In the event that any such
withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer will, save in
limited circumstances, be required to pay additional amounts to
cover the amounts so withheld or deducted.
Additional Disruption Events: If there is a change in applicable law,

become immediately due and payable, upon notice being given by
the holder.

of its obligations under the Securities has become unlawful the

each
Security

be
an
amount
determined
by
the
Determination Agent in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner on the same basis as that which would have
determined the amount due on final redemption except that the
final value in respect of any Underlying Warrant shall be its value as
of the day on which the disruption or termination event, event of
default or unlawfulness, as the case may be, occurs.
Meetings: The Securities contain provisions for investors to call and
attend meetings to vote upon proposed amendments to the terms
of the Securities or to pass a written resolution in the absence of

trading Application is expected to be made by the Issuer to list the
Securities on the official list of the UK Listing Authority and admit
the Securities to trading on the regulated market of the London
Stock Exchange with effect from the Issue Date.
C.15 Description of
how the value of
the investment
is affected by
the value of the
underlying
instrument
Payments of principal are determined by Barclays Bank PLC as
"Determination Agent" by reference to the change in value of a
Warrant
issued by Barclays Bank PLC (ISIN: GB00B8MNMX95;
Series Number: NX000144013) (the "Underlying Warrant") which
may fluctuate up or down depending on the performance of the
FTSE 100 Index and the S&P 500 Index (the "Underlying Warrant
Reference Assets"). A decrease in the value of the Underlying
Warrant which is due in turn to the performance of the Underlying
Warrant Reference Assets
will reduce the redemption amount
payable on the Securities. The value of the Underlying Warrants will
be published on each Business Day on GB00B8MNMX95=RIC.
Details of the past and future performance and the volatility of the
Underlying Warrant Reference Assets
may be obtained from
Reuters page .FTSE and .SPX.
C.16 Expiration or
maturity date of
the securities
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on the scheduled
redemption date. Such scheduled redemption date may be delayed
if the determination of any value used to calculate an amount
payable under the Securities is delayed (including where the
valuation of any Underlying Warrant is delayed in accordance with
its terms).
The scheduled redemption date of the Securities will be
10
February 2020.
C.17 Settlement
Procedure
Securities will be delivered on the specified issue date either against
payment of the issue price or free of payment of the issue price of
the Securities. Securities may be cleared and settled through
Euroclear, Clearstream or CREST.
Securities will be delivered on 10 February 2014 (the "Issue Date")
free of payment of the issue price of the Securities.
The Securities are cleared and settled through CREST.
C.18 Description of
how the return
on derivative
Securities takes
place
The return on, and value of, the Securities will be linked to changes
in the value of the Underlying Warrants, the value of which is
dependent
on
the
performance
of
the
Underlying
Warrant
Reference Assets.
Interest
Final Redemption
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on 10 February 2020 by
payment by the Issuer of an amount in GBP for each GBP 1 in
nominal amount of the Securities equal to an amount determined
by the Determination Agent in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner as GBP 1 multiplied by an amount equal to the
value of the Underlying Warrant on 3 February 2020, being the final
valuation date, divided by the value of the Underlying Warrant on
the Issue Date, being the initial valuation date, the final valuation
date being subject to certain delay provisions if any relevant date
for valuation is delayed in accordance with the terms of the
Underlying Warrant.
The greater the value of the Underlying Warrant
on the final
valuation date (as compared to the value of the Underlying Warrant
on the initial valuation date), the greater the redemption amount
payable on the Securities. If the value of the Underlying Warrant on
the final valuation date falls below the value of the Underlying
Warrant on the initial valuation date the final redemption amount
will be less than the amount invested and could be as low as zero.
No weighting is applied as, although the Securities relate to more
than one Underlying Warrant, the amount payable on redemption
is determined by reference to the sum of the values of all the
relevant Underlying Warrants without adjustment.
Early Redemption
Securities may at the option of the Issuer (in the case of (i) or (ii))
or shall (in the case of (iii)) be redeemed earlier than the scheduled
redemption date (i) if performance becomes unlawful, (ii) following
the occurrence of a change in applicable law, a currency disruption
event, an extraordinary market disruption or a tax event affecting
the Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the Securities) or
(iii) following the occurrence of (a) the cancellation or termination
of the Underlying Warrant (other than by scheduled exercise or
automatic exercise pursuant to its terms) or (b) a specified early
cancellation event in respect thereof.
C.19 Final reference
price of
underlying
The amount payable in respect of the Securities will be calculated
using the value of the Underlying Warrant on the Issue Date (the
initial valuation date) and the value of the Underlying Warrants on
3 February 2020 (the final valuation date).
The value of the Underlying Warrant on the final valuation date will
be determined by the Determination Agent taking into account the
applicable cash or physical settlement amount (as applicable) due
on exercise of such Underlying Warrant.
C.20 Type of
underlying
Securities issued under the Base Prospectus will be derivative

Section D – Risks
D.2 Key information
on the key risks
that are specific
to the Issuer
Credit Risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk of suffering loss if any
of its customers, clients or market counterparties fails to fulfil its
contractual obligations. The Issuer may also suffer loss where the
downgrading of an entity's credit rating causes a fall in the value of
the Issuer's investment in that entity's financial instruments.
Weak or deteriorating economic conditions negatively impact these
counterparty and credit-related risks. In recent times, the economic
environment in the Issuer's main business markets (being Europe
and the United States) have been marked by generally weaker than
expected growth, increased unemployment, depressed housing
prices,
reduced
business
confidence,
rising
inflation
and
contracting GDP. Operations in the Eurozone remain affected by
the ongoing sovereign debt crisis, the stresses being exerted on the
financial system and the risk that one or more countries may exit
the Euro. The current absence of a predetermined mechanism for a
member state to exit the Euro means that it is not possible to
predict the outcome of such an event and to accurately quantify
the impact of such event on the Issuer's profitability, liquidity and
capital. If some or all of these conditions persist or worsen, they
may have a material adverse effect on the Issuer's operations,
financial condition and prospects.
Market risk: The Issuer may suffer financial loss if the Issuer is
unable to adequately hedge its balance sheet. This could occur as a
result of low market liquidity levels, or if there are unexpected or
volatile changes in interest rates, credit spreads, commodity prices,
equity prices and/or foreign exchange rates.
Liquidity risk: The Issuer is exposed to the risk that it may be
unable to meet its obligations as they fall due as a result of a
sudden, and potentially protracted, increase in net cash outflows.
These outflows could be principally through customer withdrawals,
wholesale counterparties removing financing, collateral posting
requirements or loan draw-downs.
Capital risk: The Issuer may be unable to maintain appropriate
capital ratios, which could lead to: (i) an inability to support
business activity; (ii) a failure to meet regulatory requirements;
and/or (iii) credit ratings downgrades. Increased regulatory capital
requirements and changes to what constitutes capital may
constrain the Issuer's planned activities and could increase costs
and contribute to adverse impacts on the Issuer's earnings.
Legal and Regulatory-related risk: Non-compliance by the Issuer
with applicable laws, regulations and codes relevant to the financial
services industry could lead to fines, public reprimands, damage to
reputation, increased prudential requirements, enforced suspension
of operations or, in extreme cases, withdrawal of authorisations to
operate.
Reputation Risk: Reputational damage reduces –
directly or
indirectly – the attractiveness of the Issuer to stakeholders and may
lead to negative publicity, loss of revenue, litigation, regulatory or
legislative action, loss of existing or potential client business,
reduced workforce morale, and difficulties in recruiting talent.
Sustained reputational damage could have a materially negative
impact on the Issuer's licence to operate and the value of the
Issuer's franchise, which in turn could negatively affect the Issuer's
profitability and financial condition.
Infrastructure Resilience, Technology and Cyberspace risk: The
Issuer is exposed to risks from cyberspace to its systems. If
customer or proprietary information held on, and/or transactions
processed through these systems, is breached, there could be a
materially
negative
impact
on
the
Issuer's
performance
or
reputation.
Taxation risk: The Issuer may suffer losses arising from additional
tax charges, other financial costs or reputational damage due to:
failure to comply with or correctly assess the application of,
relevant tax law; failure to deal with tax authorities in a timely,
transparent and effective manner; incorrect calculation of tax
estimates for reported and forecast tax numbers; or provision of
incorrect tax advice.
D.6 Risk warning
that investors
may lose value
of entire
investment or
part of it
Investors in Securities may lose up to the entire value of their
investment: Depending on the performance of the Underlying
Assets, the redemption amount payable to investors (whether at
maturity or following an early redemption) may be less than the
initial purchase price and could be as low as zero. The investor is
also exposed to the credit risk of the Issuer and will lose up to the
entire value of their investment if the Issuer goes bankrupt or is
otherwise unable to meet its payment obligations. Investors may
also lose some or all of their investment if:

investors sell their Securities prior to maturity in the
secondary market at an amount that is less than the initial
purchase price;

the Securities are redeemed early for reasons beyond the
control of the Issuer (such as following a change in
applicable
law,
a
currency
disruption
event,
an
extraordinary market disruption, a tax event affecting the
Issuer's ability to fulfil its obligations under the Securities, a
Warrant Termination Event or the performance of the
Issuer's obligations becoming unlawful) and the amount
paid to investors is less than the initial purchase price;
and/or

the terms and conditions of the Securities are adjusted (in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities)
with the result that the redemption amount payable to
investors and/or the value of the Securities is reduced.
Reinvestment risk / loss of yield: Following an early redemption of
the Securities for any reason, investors may be unable to reinvest
the redemption proceeds at an effective yield as high as the yield
on the Securities being redeemed.
Volatile market prices: the market value of the Securities is
unpredictable and may be highly volatile, as it can be affected by
many unpredictable factors, including: market interest and yield
rates; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; exchange controls;
the time remaining until the Securities mature; economic, financial,
regulatory, political, terrorist, military or other events in one or
more jurisdictions; changes in laws or regulations; the Issuer's
creditworthiness
or
perceived
creditworthiness;
and
the
performance of the relevant Underlying Asset(s).
Securities are not "principal protected": Upon maturity of the
Securities, investors may lose some or all of their capital invested,
depending on the performance of the Underlying Asset(s).
Securities include embedded derivatives that are subject to
adjustment: The securities are linked to Underlying Asset(s) which
are subject to provisions which provide for adjustments and
modifications of their terms and alternative means of valuation of
the Underlying Asset(s) in certain circumstances (and which could
be exercised by the Issuer in a manner which has an adverse effect
on the market value and/or amount repayable in respect of the
Securities).
Risks relating to Underlying Warrants: Investors are exposed to the
change in value of the Underlying Warrant(s) which may fluctuate
up or down depending on the performance of the Underlying
Warrant Reference Asset(s). The performance of the Underlying
Warrant Reference Assets may be subject to fluctuations that may
not correlate with other similar reference assets. Payments upon
redemption will be calculated by the change in value of the
Underlying Warrant(s) since the Issue Date. Any information about
the past performance of the Underlying Warrant(s) and/or the
Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s) should not be taken as an
indication of how prices will change in the future. Investors in
Securities linked to Underlying Warrants should also note that the
market value of both the Securities and the Underlying Warrants
will be affected by the ability, and the perceived ability, of Barclays
to fulfil its obligations under the instruments. The impact of any
inability, or perceived inability, of Barclays in this regard may be
greater in respect of the Securities as the Securities are linked to
Underlying Warrants that are issued by Barclays and it may
negatively affect both the value of the Underlying Warrants and the
value of the Security.
Risks associated with specific Underlying Warrant Reference
Asset(s):
As the Underlying Warrant Reference Assets are equity indices, the
Underlying Warrants may be subject to the risk of fluctuations in;
market interest rates; currency exchange rates; equity prices;
commodity prices; inflation; the value and volatility of the relevant
equity index; and also to economic, financial, regulatory, political,
terrorist, military or other events in one or more jurisdictions,
including factors affecting capital markets generally or the stock
exchanges on which any such Underlying Warrants may be traded.
This could have an adverse effect on the value of the Underlying
Warrant which, in turn, will have an adverse effect on the value of
the Securities.
The capital invested in the Securities is at risk. Consequently,
investors may lose the value of their entire investment, or part of it.
