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 Bank Group

approach being demonstrated by the authorities in many jurisdictions;
and (ii) enhanced capital, leverage, liquidity and funding requirements

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

fencing'); (ii) statutory depositor preference in insolvency; and

receive or underlying asset you are delivered (if any) will be determined
by reference to the value of the Underlying Asset
on a specified
valuation date or dates during the life of the Securities.
Form: The Securities are notes. The Securities will initially be issued in
global bearer form.

Determination Agent:
Barclays Bank PLC
(the "Determination
Agent") will be appointed to make calculations and determinations with
respect to the Securities.

directives, Securities may be issued in any currency.
The Securities will be denominated in United States dollars ("USD").
C.5 Description of
restrictions on
free
transferability of
the Securities
Securities are offered and sold outside the United States to non-US
persons in reliance on Regulation S and must comply with transfer
restrictions with respect to the United States.
Securities held in a clearing system will be transferred in accordance
with the rules, procedures and regulations of that clearing system.
Subject to the above, the Securities will be freely transferable.
C.8 Description of
rights attached
to the Securities,
and limitations
to those rights
and ranking of
the Securities
Rights: Each Security includes a right to a potential return of interest
and amount payable or deliverable 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. In the event
that any such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer
will, save in limited circumstances, pay additional amounts to cover the
amounts so withheld or deducted.
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 such
failure is not remedied within 30 days, or, in the case of interest, 14
days), or the Issuer is subject to a winding-up order, then (subject, in the
case of interest, to the Issuer being prevented from payment for a
mandatory provision of law) the Securities will become immediately due
and payable, upon notice being given by the holder (or, in the case of
French law Securities, the representative of the holders).
Ranking:
The Securities
are direct, unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of the Issuer and rank equally among themselves.
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.11 Admission to
trading
Securities may be admitted to trading on a regulated market in Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden or the United Kingdom.
Securities may be listed and may be admitted to trading on a market in
Switzerland or Italy that is not a regulated market for the purposes of the
Prospectus Directive.
Application is expected to be made by the Issuer (or on its behalf) for the
Securities to be admitted to trading on the regulated market of the
London Stock Exchange with effect from 22 December 2017.

instrument Calculations in respect of amounts payable under the Securities are made
by reference to a "Calculation Amount", being USD 1,000. Where the
Calculation Amount is different from the specified denomination of the
Securities, the amount payable will be scaled accordingly.
Indicative amounts: If the Securities are being offered by way of a
Public Offer and any specified product values are not fixed or
determined at the commencement of the Offer Period, these specified
product values will specify an indicative amount, indicative minimum
amount, an indicative maximum amount or any combination thereof. In
such case, the relevant specified product value(s) shall be the value
determined based on market conditions by the Issuer on or around the
end of the Offer Period. Notice of the relevant specified product value
will be published prior to the Issue Date.
INTEREST
Phoenix without memory interest: Each Security will only pay interest
in respect of an Interest Valuation Date if the closing price or level of the
Underlying Asset on such Interest Valuation Date is greater than or
equal to its corresponding Interest Barrier. If this occurs, the amount of
interest payable with respect to that Interest Valuation Date is calculated
by multiplying the fixed rate of 3.50% by the Calculation Amount.

FINAL REDEMPTION
If the Securities have not redeemed early they will redeem on the
scheduled redemption date at an amount that is dependent on each of the
the 'Initial Price' of the Underlying Asset, which reflects the price or
level of that asset near the issue date of the Securities;
the 'Final Valuation Price' of the Underlying Asset, which reflects the
price or level of that asset near the scheduled redemption date;
the 'Strike Price' of the Underlying Asset, which is calculated as
100.00 per cent. multiplied by the Initial Price of that asset; and
the 'Knock-in Barrier Price'
calculated as 50.00 per cent. multiplied by the Initial Price of that
Initial Price: The Initial Price of the Underlying Asset is the closing
price or level of such Underlying Asset on 22 December 2017.
Final Valuation Price: The Final Valuation Price of the Underlying
Asset is the closing price or level of such Underlying Asset on 22
December 2027, the "Final Valuation Date".
European Barrier redemption: If the Final Valuation Price is greater
than or equal to the Knock-in Barrier Price, you will receive a cash
amount per Calculation Amount equal to USD 1,000.
Otherwise: you will receive a cash amount per Calculation Amount,
calculated by dividing the Final Valuation Price by the Strike Price and
multiplying the result by the Calculation Amount.
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on the scheduled redemption
date. This day may be postponed following the postponement of a
valuation date due to a disruption event.
The scheduled redemption date of the Securities is 29 December 2027.
The Securities will be cleared and settled through Euroclear Bank
S.A./N.V. and Clearstream Banking société anonyme.
C.18 Description of
how the return
on derivative
securities takes
place
The return on, and value of, the Securities will be linked to the
performance of the Underlying Asset.
Payments of interest will depend on the performance of the Underlying
Asset
during the life of the Securities. A fall in the price of the
Underlying Asset below a specified level on any Interest Valuation Date
will reduce the amount of interest payable on the Securities.
The value of, and return on (if any), the Securities will depend on the
performance of the Underlying Asset on each Autocall Valuation Date
and the Final Valuation Date. If no Automatic Redemption (Autocall)
Event has occurred on an Autocall Valuation Date and the Underlying
Asset performs negatively over the life of the Securities, a holder may
sustain a loss of part or all of the amount invested in the Securities.
C.19 Final reference
price of the
underlying
The final reference level of any equity index, or final reference price of
any share, depository receipt or fund to which Securities are linked, will
be determined by reference to a publicly available source on a specified
date or dates.
The final valuation price of the Underlying Asset is the closing price or
level of the Underlying Asset on 22 December 2027, as determined by
the Determination Agent.
C.20 Type of
underlying
Securities may be linked to one or more: common shares; depositary
receipts representing common shares; exchange traded funds (ETFs)
(being a fund, pooled investment vehicle, collective investment scheme,
partnership, trust or other similar legal arrangement and holding assets,
such as shares, bonds, indices, commodities, and/or other securities such
as financial derivative instruments); or equity indices.
The Underlying Asset for the Securities is: the EURO STOXX 50®
Index.

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. A revised Enterprise
Risk Management Framework ("ERMF") was approved by the board of
the Issuer in December 2016 and revises the eight risks as follows: (1)
Credit Risk of the Issuer; (2) Market Risk; (3) Treasury and Capital
Risk; (4) Operational Risk; (5) Model Risk; (6) Conduct Risk; (7)
Reputation Risk; and (8) Legal Risk (each a "Principal Risk").
(i)
Material existing and emerging risks by Principal Risk:
Credit risk: The risk of loss from the failure of clients, customers or
counterparties, including sovereigns, to fully honour their obligations to
the Group, including the whole and timely payment of principal, interest,
collateral and other receivables. The Group may suffer financial loss if
any of its customers, clients or market counterparties fails to fulfil their
contractual obligations to the Group. The Group may also suffer loss
when the value of its 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 risk of loss arising from potential adverse changes in
the value of the Group's assets and liabilities from fluctuation in market
variables including, but not limited to, interest rates, foreign exchange,
equity prices, commodity prices, credit spreads, implied volatilities and
asset correlations. The Group's trading business is generally adversely
exposed to a prolonged period of elevated asset price volatility,
particularly if it negatively affects the depth of marketplace liquidity.
Treasury and capital risk: The ability of the Group to achieve its
business plans may be adversely impacted due to availability of planned
liquidity, a shortfall in capital or a mismatch in the interest rate
exposures of its assets and liabilities. 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 downgrades; (iv) adverse changes in foreign
exchange rates on capital ratios; (v) negative interest rates; and (vi)
adverse movements in the pension fund.
Operational risk: The risk of loss to the Group from inadequate or
failed processes or systems, human factors or due to external events (for
example fraud) where the root cause is not due to credit or market risks.
The Group is exposed to many types of operational risk. These include:
fraudulent
and
other
internal
and
external
criminal
activities;
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
technological infrastructure unavailable to its intended users, known as a
denial of service attack and the risk of geopolitical cyber threat activity
which destabilises or destroys the Group's information technology, or
critical technological 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.
Model risk: The Group uses models to support a broad range of
business and risk management activities. Models are imperfect and
incomplete representations of reality, and so they may be subject to
errors affecting the accuracy of their outputs. Models may also be
misused. Model errors or misuse may result in the Group making
inappropriate business decisions and being subject to financial loss,
regulatory risk, reputational risk and⁄or inadequate capital reporting.
Conduct risk: The risk of detriment to customers, clients, market
integrity, competition or the Group from the inappropriate supply of
financial services, including instances of willful or negligent misconduct.
The Group is committed to ensuring that positive customer and client
outcomes and protecting market integrity are integral to the way the
Group operates. This includes taking reasonable steps to ensure the
Group's culture and strategy are appropriately aligned to the objective
that: the Group's products and services are reasonably designed and
delivered to meet the needs of the Group's customers and clients. The
Group has identified six main conduct risks, associated with: (i) the
execution of strategic divestment in non-core businesses, (ii) product
governance and sales practices, (iii) trading controls and benchmark
submissions, (iv) the management of financial crime, (v) data protection
and privacy, and (vi) regulatory focus on culture and accountability.
Certain other risks may result in detriment to customers, clients and
market integrity if not managed effectively. These include but are not
limited to: cyber risk; infrastructure and technology resilience; ability to
hire and retain qualified people; outsourcing; data quality; operational
precision and payments; regulatory change; structural reform; change
and execution risk; and the exit of the UK from the EU.
Reputation risk: The risk that an action, transaction, investment or
event will reduce trust in the firm's integrity and competence by clients,
counterparties, investors, regulators, employees or the public.
Legal risk: 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.
(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 all UK deposit-taking banks with over £25
billion of deposits (from individuals and small businesses) to separate
certain day-to-day banking activities (e.g. deposit-taking) offered to
retail and smaller business customers from other wholesale and
investment banking services.
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 and
prospects.
Change and execution:
The Group continues to drive changes to its functional capabilities and
operating environment in order to allow the business to exploit emerging
and digital technologies, and improve customer experience whilst also
embedding enhanced regulatory requirements, strategic realignment, and
business model changes. The complexity, increasing pace, and volume
of changes underway simultaneously mean there is heightened execution
risk and potential for change not being delivered to plan. Failure to
adequately manage this risk could result in extended outages and
disruption, financial loss, customer detriment, legal liability, potential
regulatory censure and reputational damage.
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.
Regulatory action in the event a bank in the Group (such as the
Issuer) is failing or likely to fail:
UK resolution authorities have the right under certain circumstances to
intervene in the Group pursuant to the stabilisation and resolution
powers granted to them under the Banking Act 2009 (the "Banking
Act") and other applicable legislation. The exercise of any of these
actions in relation to the Issuer could materially adversely affect the
value of the Securities.
EU referendum:
The UK held a referendum on 23 June 2016 on whether it should remain
a member of the EU. This resulted in a vote in favour of leaving the EU.
The result of the referendum means that the long-term nature of the UK's
relationship with the EU is unclear and there is uncertainty as to the
nature and timing of any agreement with the EU on the terms of exit. In
the interim, there is a risk of uncertainty for both the UK and the EU,
which could adversely affect the economy of the UK and the other
economies in which the Group operates.
Under the terms of the Securities, investors have agreed to be bound by
the exercise of any UK Bail-in Power by the relevant UK resolution
authority.
Impairment:
The introduction of the impairment requirements of IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments, due to be implemented on 1 January 2018, is expected to
result in higher impairment loss allowances that are recognised earlier,
on a more forward looking basis and on a broader scope of financial
instruments than is the case under IAS 39. Measurement will involve
increased complexity, judgement and is expected to have a material
financial impact and impairment charges will tend to be more volatile.
Unsecured products with longer expected lives, such as revolving credit
cards, are expected to be most impacted. The capital treatment on the
increased reserves is the subject of ongoing discussion with regulators
and across the industry, but there is potential for significant adverse
impact on regulatory capital ratios. In addition, the move from incurred
to expected credit losses has the potential to impact the Group's
performance under stressed economic conditions or regulatory stress
tests.
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 risks and other events affecting its subsidiaries
even where the Issuer is not directly affected.
D.6 Key information
on the key risks
You may lose some or all of your investment.
that are specific
to the Securities;
and risk
warning that
investors may
lose some or all
of the value of
their investment
The terms of the Securities do not provide for scheduled minimum
payment of the face value or issue price of the Securities at maturity:
depending on the performance of the Underlying Asset(s), you may
lose some or all of your investment.
The payment of any amount or delivery of any property due under
the Securities is dependent upon the Issuer's ability to fulfil its
obligations when they fall due. The Securities are unsecured
obligations. They are not deposits and they are not protected under
the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme or any other
deposit protection insurance scheme. Therefore, if the Issuer fails or
is otherwise unable to meet its payment or delivery obligations
under the Securities, you will lose some or all of your investment.
You will lose up to the entire value of your investment if the Issuer fails
or is otherwise unable to meet its payment obligations.
You may also lose some or all of your entire investment if:
you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market (if

any) at an amount that is less than the initial purchase price;
the Securities are redeemed early following the occurrence of an

extraordinary event in relation to the Underlying Asset(s), the Issuer,
the Issuer's hedging arrangement, the relevant currencies or taxation
(such as following an additional disruption event) and the amount
you receive on such redemption 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 you and/or the value of the
Securities is reduced.
Return linked to performance of Underlying Asset: The return
payable on the Securities is linked to the change in value of the
Underlying Asset over the life of the Securities. Any information about
the past performance of any Underlying Asset should not be taken as an
indication of how prices will change in the future. You will not have any
rights of ownership, including, without limitation, any voting rights or
rights to receive dividends, in respect of any Underlying Asset.
Risk of withdrawal of the public offering: In case of a public offer, the
Issuer may provide in the Final Terms that it is a condition of the offer
that the Issuer may withdraw the offer for reasons beyond its control,
such as extraordinary events that in the determination of the Issuer may
be prejudicial to the offer. In such circumstances, the offer will be
deemed to be null and void. In such case, where you have already paid or
delivered subscription monies for the relevant Securities, you will be
entitled to reimbursement of such amounts, but will not receive any
remuneration that may have accrued in the period between their payment
or delivery of subscription monies and the reimbursement of the
Securities.
Reinvestment risk/loss of yield: Following an early redemption of the
Securities for any reason, you may be unable to reinvest the redemption
proceeds at a rate of return as high as the return on the Securities being
redeemed. You should consider such reinvestment risk in light of other
available opportunities before you purchase the Securities.
US withholding on dividend equivalent amounts: Certain actual or
deemed payments on the securities held by non-US investors generally
may be subject to a US withholding tax of 30 per cent. No additional
amounts will be payable in respect of such withholding taxes.
Equity Index risks: Securities linked to the performance of equity
indices provide investment diversification opportunities, but will be
subject to the risk of fluctuations in both equity prices and the value and
volatility of the relevant equity index. Securities linked to equity indices
may not participate in dividends or any other distributions paid on the
shares which make up such indices, accordingly, you may receive a
lower return on the Securities than you would have received if you had
invested directly in those shares.
The relevant index sponsor can add, delete or substitute the components
of an equity index at its discretion, and may also alter the methodology
used to calculate the level of such index. These events may have a
detrimental impact on the level of that index, which in turn could have a
negative impact on the value of and return on the Securities.
Capped return: As the redemption amount is subject to a cap, the return
holders may receive is limited.
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; and the Issuer's creditworthiness or
perceived creditworthiness.
Section E – Offer
E.2b Reasons for
offer and use of
proceeds when
different from
making profit
and/or hedging
The net proceeds from each issue of Securities will be applied by the
Issuer for its general corporate purposes, which include making a profit
and/or hedging certain risks. If the Issuer elects at the time of issuance of
Securities to make different or more specific use of proceeds, the Issuer
will describe that use in the Final Terms.
certain risks Not Applicable: the net proceeds will be applied by the Issuer for making
profit and/or hedging certain risks.
E.3 Description of
the terms and
conditions of the
offer
The terms and conditions of any offer of Securities to the public may be
determined
by
agreement
between
the
Issuer
and
dealer
(the
"Managers") at the time of each issue.
The Securities are offered subject to the following conditions:
Offer Price: The Issue Price
Conditions to which the offer is subject: Offers of the Securities made
prior to the Issue Date are conditional on their issue. There are no pre
identified allotment criteria. The Authorised Offeror will adopt allotment
criteria that ensure equal treatment of prospective investors. A
prospective investor will receive 100 per cent. of the amount of
Securities allocated to it during the Offer Period.
The Issuer reserves the right to withdraw the offer for Securities at any
time prior to the end of the Offer Period.
For the avoidance of doubt, following withdrawal of the offer, if any
application has been made by any potential investor, each such potential
investor shall not be entitled to subscribe or otherwise acquire the
Securities and any applications will be automatically cancelled and any
purchase money will be refunded to the applicant by the Authorised
Offeror in accordance with the Authorised Offeror's usual procedures.
Description of the application process: An offer of the Securities may
be made by the Manager or the Authorised Offeror other than pursuant to
