| Where a claim relating to the information contained in the Base Prospectus is brought before a court, the plaintiff might, under the national legislation of the relevant Member State of the European Economic Area, have to bear the costs of translating the Base Prospectus before the legal proceedings are initiated. No civil liability shall attach to any responsible person solely on the basis of this Summary, including any translation thereof, unless it is misleading, inaccurate or inconsistent when read together with the other parts of the Base Prospectus or it does not provide, when read together with the other parts of the Base Prospectus, key information in order to aid holders when considering whether to invest in the Securities. |
||||
| A.2 | Consent by the Issuer to the use of prospectus in subsequent resale or final placement of Securities. |

| Issuer | ||
| B.4b | Known trends affecting |
The business and earnings of the Issuer and its subsidiary undertakings (together, the "Bank Group" or "Barclays") can be affected by the fiscal or other policies and other actions of various governmental and regulatory authorities in |
| the Issuer and industries in which the Issuer operates |
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 Bank 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, leverage, liquidity and funding requirements (for example pursuant to the fourth Capital Requirements Directive (CRD IV)). Any future regulatory changes may restrict the Bank 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 structure and management of the Bank Group; • 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, increased regulation and procedures for the protection of customers and clients of financial services firms and an increased willingness on the part of regulators to investigate past practices, vigorously pursue alleged violations and impose heavy penalties on financial services firms; • increased levels of legal proceedings in jurisdictions in which the Bank |
||
| Group does business, including in the form of class actions; • 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')); • the United Kingdom Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 |
||
| which gives United Kingdom authorities powers to implement measures for, among others: (i) the separation of the United Kingdom and EEA retail banking activities of the largest United Kingdom banks into a legally, operationally and economically separate and independent entity (so-called 'ring-fencing'); (ii) statutory depositor preference in insolvency; and (iii) a 'bail-in' stabilisation option; and • changes in competition and pricing environments. |

Securities will be cleared through a clearing system and may be held in bearer form. Certain Securities may be in dematerialised and uncertificated book-entry form. Title to cleared Securities will be determined by the books of the relevant clearing system. Securities will be issued in one or more series (each a "Series") and each Series may be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on the 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. The Securities are transferable obligations of the Issuer that can be bought and sold by investors in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Base Prospectus as completed by the final terms document (the "Final Terms"). |
| Form: The Securities will initially be issued in global bearer form and may be exchanged for definitive securities if the clearing system ceases doing business, or if the Issuer fails to make payments when due.

Subject to the above, the Securities will be freely transferable. |
| C.8 | Description of rights attached to the Securities and limitations of those rights; ranking of the Securities |
RIGHTS Each Security includes a right to a potential return and an amount payable on redemption, together with certain ancillary rights such as the right to receive notice of certain determinations and events and to vote on future amendments. Taxation: All payments in respect of the Securities shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any UK taxes unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. Events of default: If the Issuer fails to make any payment due under the Securities or breaches any other term and condition of the Securities in a way that is materially prejudicial to the interests of the holders (and, in each case, such failure is not remedied within 30 days) or the Issuer is subject to a winding-up order (other than in connection with a scheme of reconstruction, merger or amalgamation), the Securities will become immediately due and |
| payable, upon notice being given by the holder. LIMITATIONS TO RIGHTS |
||
| Notwithstanding that the Securities are linked to the performance of the underlying asset(s), Holders do not have any rights in respect of the underlying assets(s). The terms and conditions of the Securities contain provisions for calling meetings of holders to consider matters affecting their interests generally and these provisions permit defined majorities to bind all holders, including holders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and holders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority. Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the Issuer may amend the terms and conditions of the Securities, without the holders' consent. The terms and conditions of the Securities permit the Issuer and the Determination Agent (as the case may be), on the occurrence of certain events and in certain circumstances, without the holders' consent, to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the |
| Securities, to redeem the Securities prior to maturity, (where applicable) to postpone valuation of the underlying asset(s) or scheduled payments under the Securities, to change the currency in which the Securities are denominated, to substitute the Issuer with another permitted entity subject to certain conditions, and to take certain other actions with regard to the Securities and the underlying asset(s) (if any).

||
| C.15 | Description of how the value of the investment is affected by the value of the underlying |
The return on, and value of, the Securities will be linked to changes in the value of the Index Linked Warrants issued by Barclays Bank PLC (ISIN: GB00B8MNKQ88, Series number: NX000172413, the "Underlying Warrant", the value of which is dependent on the performance of the FTSE 100 Index, the S&P 500 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index the ("Underlying Warrant Reference Assets"). Interest The Securities will not bear interest. |
| instrument | Final redemption The Securities are scheduled to redeem on 10 June 2021 by payment by the Issuer of an amount in GBP for each GBP 1in 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 June 2021, being the final valuation date, divided by the value of the Underlying Warrant on 9 June 2015, 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 is 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. 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 or physically impracticable, (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. In each case, the amount due in respect of the Calculation Amount for each Security will 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, unlawfulness or physical impracticability, as the case may be, occurs. The value of the Underlying Warrant will be published on each Business Day on GB00B8MNKQ88=RIC. Details of the past and future performance and the volatility of the Underlying Warrant Reference Assets may be obtained from Reuters page .FTSE in respect of the FTSE 100 Index, Reuters page .SPX in respect of the S&P 500 Index and Reuters page .STOXX50E in respect of the EuroStoxx 50 Index. |
||
|---|---|---|
| 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 June 2021. |
| C.17 | Settlement procedure of the derivative securities |
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 1 July 2016 (the "Issue Date") free of payment of the issue price of the Securities. The Securities are cleared and settled through Euroclear/Clearstream. |
| C.18 | Description of how the return on derivative securities takes place |
The value of and return (if any) on the Securities will be linked to changes in the value of the Underlying Warrant, the value of which is dependent on the performance of the Underlying Warrant Reference Assets. |
| C.19 | Final reference price of the underlying |
The amount payable in respect of the Securities will be calculated using the value of the Underlying Warrant on 9 June 2015 (the initial valuation date) and the value of the Underlying Warrant on 3 June 2021 (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 securities, reflecting the fact that the repayment of the Securities will be linked to one or more underlying warrants, the value of which may fluctuate up or down depending on the performance of one or more specified reference assets. Amounts payable on redemption of the Securities will be determined by reference to the Underlying Warrant (ISIN: GB00B8MNKQ88).

| Section D – Risks | ||
| D.2 | Key information on the key risks that are specific to the Issuer |
Principal Risks relating to the Issuer: Material risks and their impact are described below in two sections: (i) Material existing and emerging risks by Principal Risk and (ii) Material existing and emerging risks potentially impacting more than one Principal Risk. The five principal risks are currently categorised as: (1) Credit Risk; (2) Market Risk; (3) Funding Risk; (4) Operational Risk; and (5) Conduct Risk (within the meaning of the Issuer's Enterprise Risk Management Framework, each a "Principal Risk"). |
| (i) Material existing and emerging risks by Principal Risk: |
||
| Credit risk: The financial condition of the Group's customers, clients and counterparties, including governments and other financial institutions, could adversely affect the Group. The term "Group" means Barclays PLC together with its subsidiaries. The Group may suffer financial loss if any of its customers, clients or market counterparties fails to fulfil their contractual obligations to the Group. Furthermore, the Group may also suffer loss when the value of the Group's investment in the financial instruments of an entity falls as a result of that entity's credit rating being downgraded. In addition, the Group may incur significant unrealised gains or losses due to changes in the Group's credit spreads or those of third parties, as these changes affect the fair value of the Group's derivative instruments, debt securities that the Group holds or issues, and loans held at fair value. |
||
| Market risk: The Group's financial position may be adversely affected by changes in both the level and volatility of prices leading to lower revenues, or reduced capital. The Group is also at risk from movements in foreign currency exchange rates as these impact the sterling equivalent value of foreign currency denominated assets in the banking book, exposing it to currency translation risk. |
||
| Funding risk: The ability of the Group to achieve its business plans may be adversely impacted if it does not effectively manage its capital (including leverage), liquidity and other regulatory requirements. The Group may not be able to achieve its business plans due to: (i) being unable to maintain appropriate capital ratios; (ii) being unable to meet its obligations as they fall due; (iii) rating agency methodology changes resulting in ratings downgrades; and (iv) adverse changes in foreign exchange rates on capital ratios. |
||
| Operational risk: The operational risk profile of the Group may change as a result of human factors, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, or external events. The Group is exposed to many types of operational risk. This includes: fraudulent and other internal and external criminal activities; the risk of breakdowns in processes, controls or procedures (or their inadequacy relative to the size and scope of the |
| Group's business); systems failures or an attempt, by an external party, to make a service or supporting infrastructure unavailable to its intended users, and the risk of geopolitical cyber threat activity which destabilises or destroys the Group's information technology, or critical infrastructure the Group depends upon but does not control. The Group is also subject to the risk of business disruption arising from events wholly or partially beyond its control for example natural disasters, acts of terrorism, epidemics and transport or utility failures, which may give rise to losses or reductions in service to customers and/or economic loss to the Group. All of these risks are also applicable where the Group relies on outside suppliers or vendors to provide services to it and its customers. The operational risks that the Group is exposed to could change rapidly and there is no guarantee that the Group's processes, controls, procedures and systems are sufficient to address, or could adapt promptly to, such changing risks to avoid the risk of loss. |
|
|---|---|
| Legal, competition and regulatory matters: Legal disputes, regulatory investigations, fines and other sanctions relating to conduct of business and financial crime may negatively affect the Group's results, reputation and ability to conduct its business. |
|
| Risks arising from regulation of the financial services industry: The financial services industry continues to be the focus of significant regulatory change and scrutiny which may adversely affect the Group's business, financial performance, capital and risk management strategies. |
|
| Conduct risk: | |
| Organisational Change: The Group is at risk of not being able to meet customer and regulatory expectations due to a failure to appropriately manage the: (i) complexity in business practice, processes and systems; (ii) challenges faced in product suitability, automation and portfolio-level risk monitoring; (iii) resilience of its technology; and, (iv) execution strategy, including the failure to fulfil the high level of operational precision required for effective execution in order to deliver positive customer outcomes. |
|
| Legacy Issues: Barclays remains at risk from the potential outcomes of a number of investigations relating to its past conduct. Many stakeholders will remain sceptical and so the risk to Barclays' reputation will remain. Barclays continues to work to rebuild customer trust and market confidence impacted by legacy issues. |
|
| Market Integrity: There are potential risks arising from conflicts of interest. While primarily relevant to the Investment Bank, these potential risks may also impact the corporate and retail customer base. |
|
| Financial Crime: The Group, as a global financial services firm, is exposed to the risks associated with money laundering, terrorist financing, bribery and corruption and sanctions. |
|
| Any one, or combination, of the above risks could have significant impact on the Group's reputation and may also lead to potentially large costs to both rectify this issue and reimburse losses incurred by customers and regulatory censure and penalties. |
|
| (ii) Material existing and emerging risks potentially impacting more than one Principal Risk: |
| Structural Reform (emerging risk): |
|---|
| The UK Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 (the UK Banking Reform Act) and associated secondary legislation and regulatory rules, require the separation of the Group's UK and EEA retail and SME deposit taking activities into a legally, operationally and economically separate and independent entity and restrict the types of activity such an entity may conduct (so-called 'ring fencing'). |
| Business conditions, general economy and geopolitical issues: |
| The Group's performance could be adversely affected in relation to more than one Principal Risk by a weak or deteriorating global economy or political instability. These factors may also occur in one or more of the Group's main countries of operation. The Group offers a broad range of services to retail, institutional and government customers, in a large number of countries. The breadth of these operations means that deterioration in the economic environment, or an increase in political instability in countries where it is active, or any other systemically important economy, could adversely affect the Group's performance. |
| Business Change/Execution (emerging risk): |
| As Barclays moves towards a single point of entry (Holding Company) resolution model and implementation of the Structural Reform Programme Execution, the expected level of structural and strategic change to be implemented over the medium term will be disruptive and is likely to increase funding and operational risks for the Group and could impact its revenues and businesses. |
| If any of the risks were to occur, singly or in aggregate, they could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition. |
| Regulatory action in the event a bank in the Group (such as the Issuer) is failing or likely to fail could materially adversely affect the value of the Securities: The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (the "BRRD") provides an EU-wide framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, their subsidiaries and certain holding companies. The BRRD (including the Bail-In tool) was implemented in the United Kingdom Banking Act 2009 as amended ("Banking Act") in January 2015 and came into force on 1 January 2016. The Banking Act confers substantial powers on a number of UK authorities designed to enable them to take a range of actions in relation to UK banks or investment firms and certain of their affiliates in the event a bank or investment firm in the same group is considered to be failing or likely to fail. The exercise of any of these actions in relation to the Issuer could materially adversely affect the value of the Securities. |
| A downgrade of the credit rating assigned by any credit rating agency to the Issuer could adversely affect the liquidity or market value of the Securities. Credit ratings downgrade could occur as a result of, among other causes, changes in the ratings methodologies used by credit rating agencies. Changes in credit rating agencies' views of the level of implicit sovereign support for European banks and their groups are likely to lead to credit ratings downgrades. |
| The Issuer is affected by risks affecting the Group: The Issuer is also affected by risks affecting the Group as there is substantial overlap in the businesses of the Issuer and its subsidiaries. Further, the Issuer can be negatively affected by |
| Securities include embedded derivatives on Underlying Asset(s) that are | ||
|---|---|---|
| subject to adjustment: The Securities are linked to the Underlying Warrant(s) | ||
| which are in turn linked to the Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s). The | ||
| Underlying Warrant(s) are subject to provisions which provide for adjustments | ||
| and modifications of their terms and alternative means of valuation of the | ||
| Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s) in certain circumstances (and which | ||
| could be exercised by the issuer of the Underlying Warrant(s) in a manner | ||
| which has an adverse effect on the market value and/or amount repayable in | ||
| respect of your Securities). | ||
| Risks relating to Underlying Warrant: You 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 Asset(s) 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) between 9 June 2015 and 3 June 2021. 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. You should also note that the market value | ||
| of both your Securities and the Underlying Warrant(s) will be affected by the | ||
| ability, and the perceived ability, of the Issuer to fulfil its obligations under the instruments. The impact of any inability, or perceived inability, of the Issuer in |
||
| this regard may be greater in respect of the Securities as the Securities are | ||
| linked to Underlying Warrant(s) that are issued by the Issuer and it may | ||
| negatively affect both the value of the Underlying Warrant(s) and the value of | ||
| your Securities. | ||
| Risks associated with specific Underlying Warrant Reference Asset(s): | ||
| As the Underlying Warrant Reference Assets are equity indices, the Underlying | ||
| Warrant 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 Warrant 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 your Securities. | ||
| The capital invested in the Securities is at risk. Consequently, you may lose the | ||
| value of your entire investment, or part of it. | ||
