Risk Factors
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. You should read the risks summarized below in connection with,
and the risks summarized below are qualified by reference to, the risks described in more detail in the "Risk Factors"
section beginning on page S-6 of the prospectus supplement. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax,
accounting and other advisors and to invest in the Notes only after you and your advisors in connection with your
investment in the Notes.

§
Issuer Credit Risk--The Notes are our unsecured debt obligations, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an
obligation of any third party. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including any payment at maturity or on any
interest payment date, depends on our ability to satisfy our obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual
and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event
we were to default on our obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes.

§
Reference Rate / Interest Payment Risk--Because the Interest Rate on the Notes (after the initial period during
which a fixed Initial Interest Rate is payable) is a floating rate, you wil be exposed to risks not associated with a
conventional fixed-rate debt instrument. These risks include fluctuation of the applicable Reference Rate and the
possibility that, for any given Interest Period, you may receive a lesser amount of interest than for one or more prior
Interest Periods. We have no control over a number of matters that may affect interest rates, including economic,
financial and political events that are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks
and their results. In recent years, interest rates have been volatile, and volatility also could be characteristic of the
future. In addition, the floating Interest Rate for the Notes may be less than the floating rate payable on a similar
Note or other instrument of the same maturity issued by us or an issuer with the same or a comparable credit
rating.

§
Maximum Interest Rate--Since a Maximum Interest Rate is specified on the cover page hereof, the Interest Rate
on the Notes for the relevant Interest Periods (on or after any applicable date specified on the cover page hereof)
wil be limited to the specified Maximum Interest Rate. As a result, in the event that the Interest Rate otherwise
calculated for any applicable Interest Period exceeds the Maximum Interest Rate, your interest payment for the
relevant Interest Period wil reflect the Maximum Interest Rate, and you wil lose the benefit of any interest payment
that would have been payable had such Maximum Interest Rate not been applicable.

§
Certain Built-In Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes Prior to Maturity--Although you
wil not receive less than the principal amount of the Notes if you hold the Notes to maturity (subject to Issuer credit
risk), the Original Issue Price of the Notes includes the agent's commission and the cost of hedging our obligations
under the Notes through one or more of our affiliates. As a result, assuming no change in market conditions or any
other relevant factor, the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC wil
be wil ing to purchase Notes from you in secondary market transactions may be lower than the Original Issue Price,
and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.

§
Potential Conflicts--We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Notes,
including hedging our obligations under the Notes. In performing these duties, the economic interests of our affiliates
are potential y adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes.

In addition, Barclays Wealth, the wealth management division of Barclays Capital Inc., may arrange for the sale of
the Notes to certain of its clients. In doing so, Barclays Wealth wil be acting as agent for Barclays Bank PLC and
may receive compensation from Barclays Bank PLC in the form of discounts and commissions. The role of Barclays
Wealth as a provider of certain services to such customers and as agent for Barclays Bank PLC in connection with
the distribution of the Notes to investors may create a potential conflict of interest, which may be adverse to such
clients. Barclays Wealth is not acting as your agent or investment adviser, and is not representing you in any

capacity with respect to any purchase of Notes by you. Barclays Wealth is acting solely as agent for Barclays Bank
PLC. If you are considering whether to invest in the Notes through Barclays Wealth, we strongly urge you to seek
independent financial and investment advice to assess the merits of such investment.

§
Lack of Liquidity--The Notes wil not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other
affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Notes but are not required to do so, and
may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Even if there is a secondary
market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because other dealers are
not likely to make a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is
likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital

Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are wil ing to buy the Notes. The Notes are not designed to be
short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and wil ing to hold your Notes to maturity.

§
Many Economic and Market Factors Will Impact the Value of the Notes--The value of the Notes wil be
affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including

o
the time to maturity of the Notes;

o
volatility of the level of the Reference Rate

o
actual or anticipated changes in the level of the Reference Rate

o
interest and yield rates in the market generally;

o
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events; and

o
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.

Hypothetical Interest Rate and Interest Payment Calculations
As described above, after the initial Interest Periods for which the Initial Interest Rate is payable, the effective per
annum Interest Rate payable on the Notes on each Interest Payment Date wil be a floating rate calculated as described
above. The fol owing il ustrates the process by which the Interest Rate and interest payment amount are determined for
a hypothetical Interest Period where a floating rate applies.
While the steps described below would be fol owed for any Notes issued hereunder, the examples provided below are
for il ustrative purposes only and do not, and do not purport to, describe al payment possibilities for the Notes.
Step 1: Determine the value of the Reference Rate for the Interest Period.
For each Interest Period commencing on or after March 21, 2014, a per annum value for the Reference Rate is
determined on the relevant Interest Reset Date by observing the applicable Reference Rate on the Interest
Determination Date relating to that Interest Reset Date. For further information concerning the Interest Determination
Dates for the Reference Rate, see "Interest Mechanics--How Floating Interest Rates Are Reset" in the prospectus
supplement.
Step 2: Calculate the per annum Interest Rate for the Interest Period by applying the Spread, while taking into
account any Maximum Interest Rate and any Minimum Interest Rate for that Interest Period.
For each Interest Period commencing on or after March 21, 2014, once the Calculation Agent has determined the value
of the Reference Rate, the Calculation Agent wil then determine the per annum Interest Rate for that Interest Period by
first adding the Reference Rate and the Spread and then assessing the sum relative to the applicable Maximum Interest
Rate and the applicable Minimum Interest Rate. The per annum Interest Rate for that Interest Period wil be the sum of
the Reference Rate and the Spread unless such sum is greater than the applicable Maximum Interest Rate or less than
the applicable Minimum Interest Rate.
If the sum of the Reference Rate and the Spread is greater than the applicable Maximum Interest Rate, the per annum
Interest Rate for that Interest Period wil be the applicable Maximum Interest Rate.
If the sum of the Reference Rate and the Spread is less than the applicable Minimum Interest Rate, the per annum
Interest Rate for that Interest Period wil be the applicable Minimum Interest Rate.
The fol owing examples il ustrate how the Interest Rate for the particular Interest Period where a floating rate applies
would be calculated. The fol owing examples assume an applicable Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% and an applicable
Maximum Interest Rate of 6.00%.

Example 1:
The per annum Interest Rate equals the Reference Rate plus the Spread.
Based on a hypothetical Reference Rate equal to 3.00% and a Spread of 2.00%, the Interest Rate would be equal to
5.00% (the Reference Rate plus the Spread).

Example 2:
The per annum Interest Rate equals the Minimum Interest Rate.
Based on a Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00% (in the applicable interest period), and assuming a hypothetical Reference
Rate equal to 0.50% and a Spread of 2.00%, the Interest Rate (without taking the Minimum Interest Rate into account)
would equal 2.50% (the Reference Rate plus the Spread). However, because of the Minimum Interest Rate of 3.00%,
the per annum Interest Rate for the relevant Interest Period would instead be equal to the Minimum Interest Rate of

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000093041312001657/...
3.00%.

Example 3:
The per annum Interest Rate equals the Maximum Interest Rate.
Based on a Maximum Interest Rate of 6.00% (in the applicable interest period), and assuming a hypothetical Reference
Rate equal to 5.00% and a Spread of 2.00%, the Interest Rate (without taking the Maximum Interest Rate into account)
would equal 7.00% (the Reference Rate plus the Spread). However, because of the Maximum Interest Rate of 6.00%,
the per annum Interest Rate for the relevant Interest Period would instead be equal to the Maximum Interest Rate of
6.00%.
Step 3: Calculate the interest payment amount payable for each Interest Payment Date.
For each Interest Period, once the Calculation Agent has determined the applicable per annum Interest Rate, the
Calculation Agent wil calculate the effective interest rate for that Interest Period by multiplying the per annum Interest
Rate determined for that
