Barclays PLC is a British multinational banking and financial services corporation headquartered in London, offering a wide range of services including personal and corporate banking, investment banking, and wealth management.

A financial instrument, specifically an obligation or bond, identified by ISIN US06738EBG98 and CUSIP 06738EBG9, is currently on the market, issued by Barclays PLC, a prominent global financial services holding company headquartered in the United Kingdom. Barclays PLC, a pillar of the UK banking sector and one of the world's largest and oldest banks, operates through its two core divisions, Barclays UK and Barclays International, offering a comprehensive range of retail banking, wholesale banking, investment banking, wealth management, and investment management services with a significant operational footprint across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. This particular bond, denominated in United States Dollars (USD), represents a substantial total issue size of $2,000,000,000, and is currently observed trading at 100% of its par value. It features a notable annual interest rate of 8%, with payments distributed quarterly, equating to a payment frequency of four times per year. A distinctive characteristic of this bond is its perpetual maturity, meaning it has no fixed redemption date, designed to provide investors with ongoing interest payments for an indefinite period unless it is called by the issuer. For potential investors, the minimum purchase size for this instrument is set at $200,000. From a credit perspective, Standard & Poor's (S&P) has assigned a B+ rating to this bond, indicating a speculative grade where the issuer's capacity to meet financial commitments may be more susceptible to adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances, a factor for investors to weigh alongside the attractive coupon and the perpetual nature of the security.

Prospectus Supplement to Prospectus dated April 6, 2018

$2,000,000,000 8% Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated Contingent Convertible Securities
(Callable June 15, 2024 and Every Five Years Thereafter)
Barclays PLC

We, Barclays PLC (the "Issuer" or "Barclays"), are issuing $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated
Contingent Convertible Securities (Callable June 15, 2024 and Every Five Years Thereafter) (the "Securities"). From (and including) the Issue Date (as
defined herein) to (but excluding) June 15, 2024 (such date and each fifth (5th) anniversary date thereafter being a "Reset Date"), the interest rate on the
Securities will be 8% per annum. From (and including) each Reset Date to (but excluding) the next following Reset Date, the applicable per annum interest
rate will be equal to the sum, as determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined herein), of the applicable U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined herein) on the
relevant Reset Determination Date (as defined herein) and 5.672%. The interest rate following any Reset Date may be less than the initial interest rate
and/or the interest rate that applies immediately prior to such Reset Date. Subject to the conditions described herein, interest, if any, will be payable
quarterly in arrear on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2019.
We will apply to the London Stock Exchange PLC (the "LSE") for the Securities to be admitted to trading on the LSE's International Securities Market
(the "ISM").
The ISM is not a regulated market for the purposes of MiFID II (as defined below). The ISM is a market designated for professional investors.
Securities admitted to trading on the ISM are not admitted to the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority. The LSE has not
approved or verified the contents of either this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Neither this prospectus supplement nor the
accompanying prospectus comprises (i) a prospectus for the purposes of Part IV of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the
"FSMA") or (ii) a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive (as defined herein).
As described in this prospectus supplement, the terms of the Securities provide that interest on the Securities will be due and payable only at the
sole discretion of the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have sole and absolute discretion at all times and for any reason to cancel (in whole or in part)
any interest payment that would otherwise be payable on any Interest Payment Date. As described herein, the terms of the Securities also provide
for circumstances under which the Issuer shall be restricted from making an interest payment (in whole or in part) on the Securities on an
Interest Payment Date, and the interest payable in respect of any such Interest Payment Date shall be deemed cancelled (in whole or in part) and
therefore not due and payable. Interest will only be due and payable on an Interest Payment Date to the extent it is not cancelled or deemed
cancelled in accordance with the terms of the Securities and as further described herein. Any interest cancelled or deemed cancelled (in each case,
in whole or in part) in accordance with the terms of the Securities and as further described herein shall not be due and shall not accumulate or be
payable at any time thereafter, and holders of the Securities shall have no rights thereto or to receive any additional interest or compensation as a
result of such cancellation or deemed cancellation.
Table of Contents
The Securities are perpetual and have no fixed maturity or fixed redemption date. As a result of the fact that the Securities are perpetual
securities and that interest on the Securities will be due and payable only at our sole discretion and that we may cancel (in whole or in part) any
interest payment at any time, we are not required to make any payment of the principal amount of the Securities at any time prior to our
winding-up or administration and you may not receive interest on any Interest Payment Date.
The Securities will constitute our direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations, ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves, as
described herein. The Securities will be in registered form in minimum denominations of $200,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
As described herein, we may, at our option, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, on any Reset Date at 100% of their principal amount, together
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312069/000119312519082878/d700049d424b2.htm[3/22/2019 2:59:45 PM]

with any accrued but unpaid interest (which excludes any interest cancelled or deemed cancelled as described herein) to (but excluding) the date fixed for
redemption.
As described herein, we may also, at our option, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, at any time in the event of a change in certain U.K.
regulatory capital requirements or upon the occurrence of certain tax events as described herein at 100% of their principal amount, together with any
accrued but unpaid interest (which excludes any interest cancelled or deemed cancelled as described herein) to (but excluding) the date fixed for
redemption.
If a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event (as defined herein) occurs, then an Automatic Conversion (as defined herein) will occur on the Conversion
Date (as defined herein), at which point all of the Issuer's obligations under the Securities (other than certain Issuer obligations in connection with
the Conversion Shares Offer (as defined herein), if any, which are referred to herein as the CSO Obligations) shall be irrevocably and
automatically released in consideration of the Issuer's issuance of the Conversion Shares (as defined herein) to the Conversion Shares Depository
(as defined herein) (or other relevant recipient as described herein), and under no circumstances shall such released obligations be reinstated. The
Conversion Shares shall initially be registered in the name of the Conversion Shares Depository (which shall hold the Conversion Shares on behalf
of the holders of the Securities) or the relevant recipient in accordance with the terms of Securities. As more fully described herein, the Issuer may
elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, that a Conversion Shares Offer be made by the Conversion Shares Depository to all or some of the then
existing shareholders of the Issuer. The realizable value of any Conversion Shares received by a holder of the Securities following an Automatic
Conversion may be significantly less than the Conversion Price (as defined herein) of $2.17 initially and/or the Conversion Shares Offer Price (as
defined herein) of £1.65 initially, and holders of the Securities could lose all or part of their investment in the Securities as a result of the
Automatic Conversion.
Following an Automatic Conversion, the Securities shall remain in existence until the applicable Cancellation Date (as defined herein) for the sole purpose
of evidencing (a) the holder's right to receive Conversion Shares or Conversion Shares Offer Consideration (as defined herein), as applicable, from the
Conversion Shares Depository and (b) the Issuer's CSO Obligations, if any. All obligations of the Issuer under the Securities (except for the CSO
Obligations, if any) shall be irrevocably and automatically released in consideration of the Issuer's issuance of the Conversion Shares to the Conversion
Shares Depository (or other relevant recipient as described herein) on the Conversion Date.
The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
retail clients, as defined in the rules set out in the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended or replaced from time to
time) and the Product Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 (as amended or replaced
from time to time) (the "PI Rules"). Prospective investors are referred to the section headed "Prohibition on marketing and sales to retail
investors" on page S-1 of this prospectus supplement for further information.

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"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of

Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no
key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities
or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. For the purposes of these provisions, the
expression "MiFID II" means Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended.

Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion of, the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other securities or other
obligations of the Issuer or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the Securities such shares,
securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes
payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary period; which U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised by means of a variation of the
terms of the Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. For more

PROHIBITION ON MARKETING AND SALES TO RETAIL INVESTORS
The Securities discussed in this prospectus supplement are high risk and complex financial instruments and such instruments may be purchased by investors
as a way to enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of risk to their overall portfolios. Each potential investor in the Securities
must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Securities, the merits and risk of investing in the Securities

and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement;

(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in

the Securities and the impact such investment will have on its overall investment portfolio;

(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Securities or where the currency for principal or

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312069/000119312519082878/d700049d424b2.htm[3/22/2019 2:59:45 PM]

424B2
interest payments is different from the currency in which such investor's financial activities are principally denominated;

(iv)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Securities and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices and financial markets; and

(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may

affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each
potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent: (i) the Securities are legal investments for it; (ii) the Securities
can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing; and (iii) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of the Securities. Financial institutions
should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of the Securities under any applicable risk-based
capital or similar rules.
In particular, in June 2015, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") published the Product Intervention (Contingent Convertible Instruments and
Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 (the "PI Rules"). In addition, (i) on January 1, 2018, the provisions of Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 on key
information documents for packaged and retail and insurance-based investment products ("PRIIPs") became directly applicable in all EEA member states
and (ii) the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended) ("MiFID II") was required to be implemented in EEA member states by
January 3, 2018. Together the PI Rules, PRIIPs and MiFID II are referred to as the "Regulations."
The Regulations set out various obligations in relation to (i) the manufacture and distribution of financial instruments and (ii) the offering, sale and
distribution of packaged retail and insurance-based investment products and certain contingent write down or convertible securities, such as the Securities.
Potential investors in the Securities should inform themselves of, and comply with, any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to
any resale of the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) including the Regulations.
Certain of the underwriters are required to comply with some or all of the Regulations. By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any
Securities (or a beneficial interest in such Securities) from the Issuer and/or the underwriters, you represent, warrant, agree with and undertake to the Issuer
and each of the underwriters that:

1.
you are not a retail client (as defined in MiFID II);

S-1
Table of Contents

2.
whether or not you are subject to the Regulations, you will not:

(A)
sell or offer the Securities (or any beneficial interest therein) to retail clients (as defined in MiFID II); or

(B)
communicate (including the distribution of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus) or approve an invitation or
inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or

inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client (in each case within the
meaning of MiFID II). In selling or offering the Securities or making or approving communications relating to the Securities you may
not rely on the limited exemptions set out in the PI Rules; and

3.
you will at all times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the EEA) relating to the
promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein), including (without limitation) MiFID II and

any other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in
the Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) by investors in any relevant jurisdiction.
You further acknowledge that no key information document (KID) under PRIIPs has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under PRIIPs.
IMPORTANT--PRIIPs REGULATION / PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS--The Securities 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 EEA. For these
purposes, a 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 MiFID II; or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of the Insurance Mediation Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making
them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared, and, therefore, offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Securities (or any
beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or the underwriters the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings will be given by
and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and certain documents incorporated by reference herein contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), with respect to the Group (as defined below). We caution readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of
future performance and that actual results or other financial condition or performance measures could differ materially from those contained in the forward-
looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-
looking statements sometimes use words such as "may," "will," "seek," "continue," "aim," "anticipate," "target," "projected," "expect," "estimate,"
"intend," "plan," "goal," "believe," "achieve" or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others,
statements or guidance regarding or relating to the Group's future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, business
strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios, payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios and expected payment strategies), projected
levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or savings, any commitments and targets, estimates of capital expenditures, plans and
objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers, IFRS 9 impacts and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-
looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. These may be affected by changes in legislation, the
development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") including the continuing impact of IFRS 9
implementation, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of accounting and regulatory standards, the outcome of current and
future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations, future levels of conduct provisions, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory
authorities, geopolitical risks and the impact of competition. In addition, factors including (but not limited to) the following may have an effect: capital,
leverage and other regulatory rules applicable to past, current and future periods; United Kingdom ("U.K."), United States, European Union and global
macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of any volatility in credit markets; market-related risks such as changes in interest rates and foreign
exchange rates; effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures; changes in valuation of issued securities; volatility in capital markets; changes
in credit ratings of any entities within the Group or any securities issued by such entities; the potential for one or more countries exiting the European
Union; instability as a result of the exit by the U.K. from the European Union and the disruption that may subsequently result in the U.K. and globally; and
the success of future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond the Group's control. As a
result, the Group's actual future results, dividend payments and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and
guidance set forth in the Group's forward-looking statements. The list above is not exhaustive and there are other factors that may cause our actual results
to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein. You
are also advised to read carefully the risk factors set out in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and in our filings with the U.S.
Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the
SEC on February 21, 2019 (the "2018 Form 20-F"), which are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov for a discussion of certain factors that
should be considered when deciding what action to take in relation to the Securities.
Any forward-looking statements made herein or in the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date they are made and it should
not be assumed that they have been revised or updated in the light of new information or future events. Except as required by the PRA (as defined below),
the FCA, the LSE, the SEC or applicable law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to
any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement or in the documents incorporated by reference herein to reflect any change in
Barclays' expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should,
however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has made or may make in documents it has published or may publish via the Regulatory News
Service of the LSE and/or has filed or may file with the SEC.
