Risk Factors
Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of
certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:
|
| · | If the notes are not automatically called, your investment may result in a
loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal. |
| · | Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning
a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity. |
| · | Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Call Premiums
and may be less than a comparable investment directly in shares of the Market Measure or the securities held by the Market Measure. |
| · | Payments on the notes, including repayment of principal, are subject to the
credit risk of Barclays and to the risk of exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power or any other resolution measure by the relevant U.K. resolution
authority. If Barclays becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its obligations, or any other resolution measure is exercised, you may lose
your entire investment. |
| · | The initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is expected to
be lower than their public offering price. |
| · | If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may
be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date. |
| · | A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. |
| · | Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS
and our respective affiliates (including trades in shares of the Market Measure or the securities held by the Market Measure), and any
hedging and trading activities we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect
the market value and return of the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you. |
| · | There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agents,
which are Barclays and BofAS. |
| · | The sponsor and advisor of the Market Measure may adjust the Market Measure
in a way that could adversely affect the value of the notes and the amount payable on the notes, and these entities have no obligation
to consider your interests. |
| · | You will have no rights of a holder of shares of the Market Measure or the
securities held by the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers
of those securities. |
| · | While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may from time to
time own shares of the Market Measure or the securities held by the Market Measure, we, MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates
do not control the Market Measure or the issuers of those securities, and have not verified any disclosure made by any other company. |
| · | There are liquidity and management risks associated with the Market Measure. |
| · | The performance of the Market Measure may not correlate with the performance
of the securities held by the Market Measure as well as the net asset value per share of the Market Measure, especially during periods
of market volatility when the liquidity and the market price of shares of the Market Measure and/or the securities held by the Market
Measure may be adversely affected, sometimes materially. |
| · | The payments on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that
could affect the Market Measure. |
| · | The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes are
uncertain. |
| · | The securities held by the Market Measure are concentrated in one sector. |
| · | An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated with the uranium
industry. |
| · | A limited number of stocks held by the Market Measure may affect its price,
and the stocks held by the Market Measure are not necessarily representative of the uranium industry. |
| · | An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. companies. |
| · | An investment in the notes is subject to risks relating to emerging markets. |
| · | The notes are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. |
