Final Terms

PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS: The Warrants are not intended, to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA Retail Investor"). For these purposes, an EEA Retail Investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended from time to time, "MiFID"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of the Insurance Mediation Directive (Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended from time to time)) ("IMD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended from time to time, including by Directive 2010/73/EU, the "Prospectus Directive"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Warrants or otherwise making them available to EEA Retail Investors has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Warrants or otherwise making them available to any EEA Retail Investor may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

SUMMARY

Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as 'elements'. These elements are numbered in sections A to E (A.1 to E.7).

This summary (the "Summary") contains all the elements required to be included in a summary for these types of securities and issuer. Because some elements are not required to be addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the elements.

Even though an element may be required to be inserted in the Summary because of the type of securities and issuer, it is possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the element. In this case a short description of the element is included in the Summary after the words 'not applicable'.

Section A – Introduction and warnings
A.1 Introduction
and warnings
This Summary should be read as an introduction to the Base Prospectus.
Any decision to invest in Securities should be based on consideration of the
Base Prospectus as a whole, including any information incorporated by
reference, and read together with the Final Terms.
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
The Issuer may provide the consent to the use of the Base Prospectus and
Final Terms for subsequent resale or final placement of Securities by
financial intermediaries, provided that the subsequent resale or final
placement of Securities by such financial intermediaries is made during the
offer period specified below. Such consent may be subject to conditions
which are relevant for the use of the Base Prospectus.
Securities Not Applicable:
the Issuer does not consent to the use of the Base
Prospectus for subsequent resales.
Section B – Issuer
B.1 Legal and
commercial
name of the
Issuer
The Securities are issued by Barclays Bank PLC (the "Issuer").
B.2 Domicile and
legal form of
the Issuer,
legislation
under which
the Issuer
operates and
country of
incorporation
of the Issuer
The Issuer is a public limited company registered in England and Wales.
The principal laws and legislation under which the Issuer operates are the
laws of England and Wales including the Companies Act.
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 "Bank Group" or "Barclays") 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, as a result, regulatory risk will remain a focus. A more intensive
regulatory
approach
and
enhanced
requirements
together
with
the
uncertainty (particularly in light of the UK's withdrawal from the EU) and
potential
lack
of
international
regulatory
coordination
as
enhanced
supervisory standards are developed and implemented may adversely affect
the Bank Group's business, capital and risk management strategies and/or
may result in the Bank Group deciding to modify its legal entity, capital and
funding structures and business mix, or to exit certain business activities
altogether or not to expand in areas despite otherwise attractive potential.
Following the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Barclays UK
division from the Bank Group to Barclays Bank UK PLC and its subsidiary
undertakings (together, the "Barclays Bank UK Group"), the Bank Group
becomes less diversified than it used to be. The Bank Group no longer has
recourse to the assets of the Barclays Bank UK Group. Further, relative to its
parent group, the Bank Group is more focused on businesses outside the
UK, more focused on wholesale businesses, more dependent on wholesale
funding sources and potentially subject to different regulatory obligations.
There are several other significant pieces of legislation and areas of focus
which will require significant management attention, cost and resource,
including:
Changes in prudential requirements, including the risk reduction

measures package recently adopted in the EU to amend the Capital
Requirements Directive (CRD IV) and the Bank Recovery and
Resolution Directive (BRRD) which may impact minimum requirements
for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL), leverage, liquidity or
funding requirements, applicable buffers and/or add-ons to such
minimum
requirements
and
risk
weighted
assets
calculation
methodologies all as may be set by international, EU or national
authorities.
The derivatives market has been the subject of particular focus for

regulators in recent years across the G20 countries and beyond, with
regulations introduced which require the reporting and clearing of
standardised over the counter ("OTC") derivatives and the mandatory
margining of non-cleared OTC derivatives. Other regulations applicable
to swap dealers, including those promulgated by the US Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, have imposed significant costs on the
Bank Group's derivatives business.
The recast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive in Europe (MiFID

II), which came into force in January 2018, has fundamentally changed
the European regulatory framework entailing significant operational
changes for market participants in a wide range of financial instruments
as well as changes in market structures and practices.
By virtue of the EU Benchmarks Regulation, after 1 January 2020,

certain Bank Group entities will not be permitted to use benchmarks
unless the relevant administrator is authorised, registered or qualifies
under a third party regime. This may necessitate adapting processes and
systems to transition to new alternative benchmarks, which would be a
very time consuming and costly process.
Separately, the transition to risk-free rates as part of a wider benchmark
reform is also expected to be impactful to the Bank Group in respect of
the timing of the development of a robust risk free rate market, an
unfavourable market reaction and/or inconsistencies in the adoption of
products using the new risk free rates, and also in respect of the costs
and uncertainties involved in managing and/or changing historical
products to reference risk free rates as a result of
the proposed
discontinuation of certain existing benchmarks.
The Bank Group and certain of its members are subject to supervisory

stress testing exercises in a number of jurisdictions. These exercises
currently include the programmes of the Bank of England, the European
Banking Authority, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
Federal Reserve Board. Failure to meet requirements of regulatory stress
tests, or the failure by regulators to approve the stress test results and
capital plans of the Bank Group, could result in the Bank Group being
required to enhance its capital position, limit capital distributions or
position additional capital in specific subsidiaries.
The introduction and implementation of Payments Service Directive 2

("PSD2") with delivery across 2019 provides third parties and banks
with opportunities to change and enhance the relationship between a
customer and their bank. PSD2 will also introduce new requirements to
the authentication process for a number of actions customers take,
including ecommerce transactions. A failure to comply with PSD2 could
expose the Bank Group to regulatory sanction. The changes to
authentication may change the fraud environment across the industry as
providers implement different approaches to comply.
B.5 Description of
the group and
the Issuer's
position within
the group
The Bank Group is a major global financial services provider.
The Issuer is a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Barclays PLC, which is
the ultimate holding company of the Bank Group.

securities and are issued as notes.
The Securities will not bear interest.
If the Securities have not redeemed early they will redeem on the scheduled
redemption date and the amount paid will be a redemption amount that is
linked to the change in value of one or more specified warrants which may
fluctuate up or down depending on the performance of the reference asset(s)
to which they are linked.
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: Interests in the Securities will be constituted through the issuance of
dematerialised depository interests ("CDIs"), issued, held, settled and

ranking of the
Securities
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.
LIMITATION TO RIGHTS
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).
RANKING
The Securities are direct, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the
Issuer and rank equally among themselves.
C.11 Admission to
trading
Securities may be admitted to trading on a regulated market in the United
Kingdom.
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 November 2019.
C.15 Description of
how the value
of the
investment is
affected by the
value of the
underlying
instrument
The return on, and value of, the Securities will be linked to changes in the
value
of
the
Warrants
issued
by
Barclays
Bank
PLC
(ISIN:
GB00B983D931,
Series
number:
NX000227589),
the
"Underlying
Warrant", the value of which is dependent on the performance of the FTSE
100 Index (the "Underlying Warrant Reference Asset").
Interest
The Securities will not bear interest.
Final redemption
The Securities are scheduled to redeem on 29 April 2025 by payment by the
Issuer of an amount in GBP for each GBP 1.00 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 1.00 multiplied
by an amount equal to the value of the Underlying Warrant on 22 April
2025, being the final valuation date, divided by the value of the Underlying
Warrant
on 25 April 2019, 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 GB00B983D931=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.
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 29 April 2025.
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 22 November 2019 (the "Tranche 2 Issue
Date") free of payment of the issue price of the Securities.
The Securities are cleared and settled through CREST. Settlement
procedures will depend on the clearing system for the Securities and local
practices in the jurisdiction of the investor.
Interests in the Securities will be constituted through the issuance of CDIs,
issued, held, settled and transferred through CREST, representing interests
in the Securities underlying the CDIs. CDIs are independent securities under
English law and will be issued by Barclays Bank PLC. Holders of CDIs will
not be entitled to deal in the Securities directly and all dealings in the
Securities must be effected through CREST in relation to the holding of
CDIs.
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
The amount payable in respect of the Securities will be calculated using the
value of the Underlying Warrant on 25 April 2019 (the initial valuation date)
and the value of the Underlying Warrant on 22 April 2025 (the final
underlying 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: GB00B983D931). Information

(i)
Material existing and emerging risks potentially impacting
more than one principal risk
Issuer Business conditions, general economy and geopolitical issues
The Bank Group's business mix spreads across multiple geographies and
client types. The breadth of these operations means that deterioration in the
economic environment, or an increase in political instability in countries
where the Bank Group is active, or in any systemically important economy,
could adversely affect the Bank Group's operating performance, financial
condition and prospects.
Process of UK withdrawal from the European Union
The uncertainty around Brexit spanned the whole of 2018, and intensified in
the second half of the year. The full impact of the withdrawal may only be
realised in years to come, as the economy adjusts to the new regime, but the
Bank Group continues to monitor the most relevant risks, including those
that may have a more immediate impact, for its business:

Market volatility, including in currencies and interest rates, might
increase which could have an impact on the value of the Bank
Group's trading book positions.

Potential UK financial institutions credit spread widening could
lead to reduced investor appetite for the Bank Group's debt
securities; this could negatively impact the cost of, and/or access to,
funding.

A credit rating agency downgrade applied directly to the Bank
Group, or indirectly as a result of a credit rating agency downgrade
to the UK Government, could significantly increase the Bank
Group's borrowing costs, credit spreads and materially adversely
affect the Bank Group's interest margins and liquidity position.

Changes in the long-term outlook for UK interest rates may
adversely affect pension liabilities and the market value of
investments funding those liabilities;

Increased risk of a UK recession with lower growth, higher
unemployment and falling UK house prices. This would negatively
impact a number of the Bank Group's portfolios.

The implementation of trade and customs barriers between the UK
and EU could lead to delays and increased costs in the passage of
goods for corporate banking customers. This could negatively
impact the levels of customer defaults and business volumes which
may result in an increase in the Bank Group's impairment charges
and a reduction in revenues.

Changes to current EU "Passporting" rights may require further
adjustment to the current model for the Bank Group's cross-border
banking operation which could increase operational complexity
and/or costs.

The ability to attract, or prevent the departure of, qualified and
skilled employees may be impacted by the UK's and the EU's
future approach to the EU freedom of movement and immigration
from the EU countries and this may impact the Bank's access to the
EU talent pool.

The legal framework within which the Bank Group operates could
change and become more uncertain if the UK takes steps to replace
or repeal certain laws currently in force, which are based on EU
legislation and regulation following its withdrawal from the EU.

Should the UK lose automatic qualification to be part of Single
Euro Payments Area there could be a resultant impact on the
efficiency of, and access to, European payment systems. In
addition, loss of automatic qualification to the European Economic
Area (EEA) or access to financial markets infrastructure could
impact service provision for clients, likely resulting in reduced
market share and revenue and increased operating costs for the
Bank Group.

There are certain execution risks relating to the transfer of the Bank
Group's European businesses to Barclays Bank Ireland PLC.
Interest rate rises adversely impacting credit conditions
To the extent that central banks increase interest rates particularly in the
Bank Group's main markets, in the UK and the US, there could be an impact
on consumer debt affordability and corporate profitability. While interest
rate rises could positively impact the Bank Group's profitability, as retail and
corporate business income may increase due to margin de-compression,
future interest rate increases, if larger or more frequent than expectations,
could cause stress in the loan portfolio and underwriting activity of the Bank
Group. Higher credit losses driving an increased impairment allowance
would most notably impact retail unsecured portfolios and wholesale non
investment grade lending. Changes in interest rates could also have an
adverse impact on the value of high quality liquid assets which are part of
the Bank Group Treasury function's investment activity. Consequently, this
could create more volatility than expected through the Bank Group's FVOCI
reserves.
Regulatory change agenda and impact on business model
The Bank Group remains subject to ongoing significant levels of regulatory
change and scrutiny in many of the countries in which it operates (including,
in particular, the UK and the US). A more intensive regulatory approach and
enhanced requirements together with the uncertainty (particularly in light of
the UK's withdrawal from the EU) and potential lack
of international
regulatory co-ordination as enhanced supervisory standards are developed
and implemented may adversely affect the Bank Group's business, capital
and risk management strategies
and/or may result in the Bank Group
deciding to modify its legal entity structure, capital and funding structures
and business mix, or to exit certain business activities altogether or not to
expand in areas despite otherwise attractive potential.
(ii)
Material existing and emerging risks impacting individual
principal risks
Credit risk:
1.
Impairment: The introduction of the impairment requirements of
IFRS Financial Instruments, implemented on 1 January 2018,
results in impairment loss allowances that are recognised earlier, on
a more forward looking basis and on a broader scope of financial
instruments than has been the case under IAS 39 and has had, and
may continue to have, a material impact on the Bank Group's
financial condition.
2.
Specific sectors and concentrations: The Bank Group is subject to
risks arising from changes in credit quality and recovery rate of
loans and advances due from borrowers and counterparties in a
specific portfolio. Any deterioration in credit quality could lead to
lower recoverability and higher impairment in a specific sector.
3.
Environmental risk: The Bank Group is exposed to credit risks
arising from energy and climate change. Indirect risks may be
incurred as a result of environmental issues impacting the credit
worthiness of the borrower resulting in higher impairment.
Market risk: An uncertain outlook for the direction of monetary policy, the
US-China trade conflict, slowing global growth and political concerns in the
US and Europe (including Brexit), are some of the
factors that could
heighten market risks for the Bank Group's portfolios.
In addition, the Bank Group's trading business is generally exposed to a
prolonged period of elevated
asset price volatility, particularly if it
negatively affects the depth of marketplace liquidity. Such a scenario could
impact the Bank Group's ability to execute client trades and may also result
in lower
client flow-driven income and/or market-based losses
on its
existing portfolio of market risks. These can include having to absorb higher
hedging costs from rebalancing risks that need to be managed dynamically
as market levels and their associated volatilities change.
Treasury and capital risk: The Bank Group may not be able to achieve its
business plans due to: a) inability to maintain appropriate capital ratios; b)
inability to meet its obligations as they fall due; c)
rating agency
downgrades; d) adverse changes in foreign exchange rates on capital ratios;
e) adverse movements in the pension fund; f) non-traded market risk/interest
rate risk in the banking book.
Operational risk:

Cyber threat: The financial sector remains a primary target for
cyber criminals. There is an increasing level of sophistication in
both criminal and nation state hacking for the purpose of stealing
money, stealing, destroying or manipulating data, and/or disrupting
operations. Other events have a compounding impact on services
and customers. Failure to adequately manage this threat could
result in increased fraud losses, inability to perform critical
economic functions, customer detriment, potential regulatory
censure or penalties, legal liability, reduction in shareholder value
and reputational damage.

Fraud: Criminals continue to adapt their techniques and are
increasingly focused on targeting customers and clients through
ever more sophisticated methods of social engineering. External
data breaches also provide criminals with the opportunity to exploit
the growing levels of compromised data. These threats could lead
to customer detriment, loss of business, regulatory censure, missed
business opportunity and reputational damage.

Operational resilience: The loss of or disruption to the Bank
Group's business processing is a material inherent risk theme within
the Bank Group and across the financial services industry, whether
arising through impacts on technology systems, real estate services,
personnel availability or the support of major suppliers. Failure to
build resilience into business processes or into the services of
technology, real estate or suppliers on which the Bank Group
business processes depend may result in significant customer
detriment, costs to reimburse losses incurred by customers,
potential regulatory censure or penalties, and reputational damage.
Supplier exposure: The Bank Group depends on suppliers for the
provision of many of its services and the development of
technology. Failure to monitor and control the Bank Group's
suppliers could potentially lead to client information or critical
infrastructures not being adequately protected or available when
required. Failure to adequately manage
outsourcing risk could
result in increased losses, inability to perform critical economic
functions, customer detriment, potential regulatory censure, legal
liability and reputational damages.
Processing error: Material operational or payment errors could
disadvantage the Bank Group's customers, clients or counterparties
and could result in regulatory censure, legal liability, reputational
damage and financial loss for the Bank Group.
New and emerging technology: Introducing
new
forms of
technology, however, also has the potential to increase inherent
risk. Failure to evaluate, actively manage and closely monitor risk
exposure during all phases of business development could lead to
customer detriment, loss of business, regulatory censure, missed
business opportunity and reputational damage.
Ability to hire and retain appropriately qualified employees: Failure
to attract or prevent the departure of appropriately qualified
employees could negatively impact the Bank Group's financial
performance,
control
environment
and
level
of
employee
engagement. Additionally, this may result in disruption to service
which could in turn lead to disenfranchising certain customer
groups, customer detriment and reputational damage.
Tax risk: There is a risk that the Bank Group could suffer losses
due to additional tax charges, other financial costs or reputational
damage as a result of failing to comply with such laws and practice,
or by failing to manage its tax affairs in an appropriate manner,
with much of this risk attributable to the international structure of
the Bank Group.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements: The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of
estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in
applying relevant accounting policies. There is a risk that if the
judgement exercised, or the estimates or assumptions used,
subsequently turn out to be incorrect, this could result in significant
loss to the Bank Group, beyond what was anticipated or provided
for.
Data management and information protection: The Bank Group
holds and processes large volumes of data, including personally
identifiable information, intellectual property, and financial data.
Failure to accurately collect and maintain this data, protect it from
breaches of confidentiality and interference with its availability
exposes the Bank Group to the risk of loss or unavailability of data
or data integrity issues. This could result in regulatory censure,
legal liability and reputational damage, including the risk of
substantial fines under the General Data Protection Regulation (the
"GDPR"), which strengthens the data protection rights for
customers and increases the accountability of the Bank Group in its
management of that data.
Unauthorised or rogue trading: Unauthorised trading, such as a
large unhedged position, which arises through a failure of
preventative controls or deliberate actions of the trader, may result
in large financial losses for the Bank Group, loss of business,
damage to investor confidence and reputational damage.

Algorithmic trading: In some areas of the investment banking
business, trading algorithms are used to price and risk manage
client and principal transactions. An algorithmic error could result
in increased market exposure and subsequent financial losses for
the Bank Group and potential loss of business, damage to investor
confidence and reputational damage.
Model risk: The Bank Group relies on models to support a broad range of
business and risk
management activities, including informing business
decisions and strategies, measuring and limiting risk, valuing exposures,
conducting stress testing,
assessing capital adequacy, supporting new
business acceptance and risk and reward evaluation, managing client assets,
and meeting reporting requirements. Models are, by their nature, imperfect
and incomplete representations of reality. Models may also be misused.
Model errors or misuse may result in the Bank Group making inappropriate
business decisions and being subject to financial loss, regulatory risk,
reputational risk and/or inadequate capital reporting.
Conduct risk: There is the risk of detriment to customers, clients, market
integrity, effective competition or the Bank Group from the inappropriate
supply of financial services, including instances of wilful or negligent
misconduct.
1.
Ineffective product governance could lead to poor customer
outcomes, regulatory sanctions, financial loss and reputational
damage.
2.
The Bank Group may be adversely affected if it fails to effectively
mitigate the risk that third parties or its employees facilitate, or that
its products and services are used to facilitate financial crime.
Failure to comply may lead to enforcement action by the Bank
Group's regulators together with severe penalties, affecting the
Bank Group's reputation and financial results.
3.
Failure to protect personal data can lead to potential detriment to
the Bank Group's customers and clients, reputational damage,
regulatory sanctions and financial loss, which under the GDPR may
be substantial.
4.
Failure to meet the requirements and expectations of the UK Senior
Managers Regime, Certification Regime and Conduct Rules may
lead to regulatory sanctions, both for the individuals and the Bank
Group.
Reputation risk: A risk arising in one business area can have an adverse
effect upon the Bank Group's
overall reputation; any one transaction,
investment or event that, in the perception of key stakeholders reduces their
trust in the Bank Group's integrity and competence.
The Bank Group's associations with sensitive topics and sectors have the
potential to give rise to reputation risk for the Bank Group and may result in
loss of business, regulatory censure and missed business opportunity.
In addition, reputation risk has the potential to arise from operational issues
or conduct matters which cause detriment to customers, clients, market
integrity, effective competition or the Bank Group.
Legal risk and legal, competition and regulatory matters: Legal disputes,
regulatory investigations, fines and other sanctions relating to conduct of
business and breaches of legislation and/or regulations may negatively affect
the Bank Group's results, reputation and ability to conduct its business.
The Bank Group conducts diverse activities in a highly regulated global
market and therefore is exposed to the risk of fines and other sanctions.
Authorities have continued to investigate past practices, pursued alleged
breaches and imposed heavy penalties on financial services firms. A breach
of applicable legislation and/or regulations could result in the Bank Group or
its staff being subject to criminal prosecution, regulatory censure, fines and
other sanctions in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Where clients,
customers or other third parties are harmed by the Bank Group's conduct,
this may also give rise to legal proceedings, including class actions. Other
legal disputes may also arise between the Bank Group and third parties
relating to
matters such as breaches, enforcement of legal
rights or
obligations arising under contracts, statutes
or common law. Adverse
findings in any such matters may result in the Bank Group being liable to
third parties or may result in the Bank Group's rights not being enforced as
intended.
D.6 Key
information on
the key risks
that are
specific to the
Securities; and
risk warning
that investors
may lose some
or all of the
value of their
investment
You may 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 the value of your investment if:
the Underlying Warrant(s) (or the Underlying Warrant Reference

Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying Warrant(s)) perform in such a
manner that the redemption amount payable to you (whether at
maturity or following an early redemption) is less than the initial
purchase price and could be as low as zero;
you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market (if

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

extraordinary event in relation to the Underlying Warrant, the Issuer,
the relevant currencies or taxation (such as following an additional
disruption event) and the amount you receive on such early redemption
is less than the initial purchase price.
Reinvestment risk/loss of yield: Following an early redemption of your
Securities for any reason, you 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 Warrant(s) (or the Underlying Warrant Reference
Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying Warrant(s)).
Securities are not 'principal protected': Upon maturity of your Securities,
you may lose some or all of the capital that you invested, depending on the
performance of the Underlying Warrant(s) (or the Underlying Warrant
Reference Asset(s) and in turn the Underlying Warrant(s)).
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 Warrants: 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 25 April 2019 and 22
April 2025. 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 Warrants may be subject to the risk of fluctuations in market
interest rates, currency exchange rates, equity 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.
US withholding on dividend equivalent amounts:
certain deemed
payments on the product 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.
