will be varied, if necessary, so as to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

424B2
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 certain of our plans and current goals and expectations relating 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 regarding our future
financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges and provisions, business strategy, capital, leverage and other regulatory ratios,
payment of dividends (including dividend pay-out ratios), projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs or
savings, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the strategic cost programme and the Group Strategy Update, run-down
of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core (as such unit is described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 3, 2015 (the "2014 Form 20-F")), estimates of
capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations, projected employee numbers 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"),
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 (including with regard to the future structure of the Group) applicable to past, current and future periods; U.K.,
United States, Africa, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions; the effects of continued 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 Eurozone; the implementation of the strategic cost programme; and the success of
future acquisitions, disposals and other strategic transactions. A number of these influences and factors are beyond our control. As a result, our
actual future results, dividend payments and capital and leverage ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in
such 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 SEC
including in the 2014 Form 20-F, which is 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 notes.
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
Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), London Stock Exchange plc, the SEC or applicable U.S. or other
law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained
in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein to reflect any change in our 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 we have made or may make in documents we have filed or may file with the SEC.

deductions, of companies with which we are or would otherwise be so grouped for

applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group relief system
current as at the date of issue of the notes or any similar system or systems having
like effect as may from time to time exist),

(each such change in tax law or regulation or the official application or interpretation
thereof, a "Tax Event"), at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together
with any accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption;

provided that in the case of each Tax Event, the consequences of the Tax Event cannot
be avoided by us taking reasonable measures available to us. Any redemption as a result
of a Tax Event will also be subject to the provisions described under "Notice of
Redemption" below.

Notice of Redemption
Any redemption of the notes shall be subject to our giving not less than thirty (30)
days', nor more than sixty (60) days', prior notice to the holders of such notes via DTC
or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the notes are held in definitive form, to the
holders at their addresses shown on the register for the notes) (such notice being

S-2
Table of Contents
irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the following paragraph)
specifying our election to redeem the notes and the date fixed for such redemption.

Notice by DTC to participating institutions and by these participants to street name
holders of beneficial interests in the relevant notes will be made according to
arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements.

If the Issuer has elected to redeem the notes but prior to the payment of the redemption
amount with respect to such redemption the relevant U.K. resolution authority exercises

its U.K. Bail-in Power in respect of the notes, the relevant redemption notice shall be
automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the
redemption amount will be due and payable.

Subsequent Repurchases
The Issuer or any member of the Group may purchase or otherwise acquire any of the
outstanding notes at any price in the open market or otherwise in accordance with
applicable law and regulations.

U.K. Bail-in Power Acknowledgement
By its acquisition of the notes, each holder of the notes acknowledges, agrees to be
bound by, and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power (as defined below)
by the relevant U.K. resolution authority (as defined below) that may result in the
cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the notes
and/or the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the
notes into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Issuer or another person,
including by means of a variation to the terms of the notes, in each case, to give effect to
the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each
holder of the notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders of the
notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, so as to give effect to, the exercise
of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

For these purposes, a "U.K. Bail-in Power" is any statutory write-down and/or
conversion power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or
requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit
institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and

requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of the BRRD

as amended, or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group
company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced,
cancelled and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or
any other person (and a reference to the "relevant U.K. resolution authority" is to any
authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power).

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained and incorporated by reference in this document
before you decide whether to acquire the notes.
Acquiring the notes offered under this prospectus supplement involves significant risks. You should reach your own investment decision only
after consultation with your own financial, legal and tax advisers (as you deem appropriate) about risks associated with an investment in the notes
and the suitability of investing in the notes in light of the particular characteristics and terms of the notes and of your particular financial
circumstances. As part of making an investment decision, you should make sure you thoroughly understand the notes' terms, such as the agreement

by you to be bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. You should also carefully consider the risk
factors and the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, our 2014 Form 20-F and the other information included and
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus before deciding to invest in the notes. If any of the risks
described herein (including the risks described in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying
prospectus) materializes, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, the notes could be subject to the U.K. Bail-in
Power, and the trading price and liquidity of the notes could decline, in which case you could lose some or all of the value of your investment.
We may redeem the notes at our option in certain situations.
We may, at our option, at any time, redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together
with any accrued but unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, if a Tax Event has occurred, as more particularly described
below under "Description of Senior Notes--Tax Redemption. " If we redeem the notes, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in
securities offering a comparable yield. Furthermore, you have no right to require us to redeem the notes.
The Issuer is a holding company, which means that its right to participate in the assets of any of its subsidiaries (including those of Barclays
Bank) upon the liquidation of such subsidiaries may be subject to prior claims of some of such subsidiary's creditors and preference
shareholders.
The Issuer is a holding company that currently has no significant assets other than its loans to, and investments in, Barclays Bank. As a
holder of ordinary shares in Barclays Bank (or any of its subsidiaries), the Issuer's right to participate in the assets of Barclays Bank (or any other
subsidiary) if such subsidiary is liquidated will be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary's creditors and preference shareholders, except
where the Issuer is a creditor with claims that are recognized to be ranked ahead of or pari passu with such claims of other of the subsidiary's
creditors and/or preference shareholders against such subsidiary. For example, the Issuer has in the past made, and may continue to make, loans to
Barclays Bank with the proceeds received from the Issuer's issuance of senior debt instruments. Such loans to Barclays Bank by the Issuer have, to
date, had a legal ranking in the insolvency of Barclays Bank that corresponds to the legal ranking of such senior debt instruments in the insolvency
of the Issuer. However, the Issuer retains its absolute discretion to restructure such loans to and any other investments in Barclays Bank at any time
and for any purpose including, without limitation, in order to provide different amounts or types of capital or funding to Barclays Bank or other
Group subsidiaries, as part of wider changes made to the Group's corporate structure for the purposes of structural reform, or otherwise as part of
meeting regulatory requirements, such as the implementation of the European Banking Authority's (the "EBA") minimum requirement for own
funds and eligible liabilities ("MREL") in respect of Barclays Bank or other Group subsidiaries. A restructuring of a loan or investment made by
the Issuer in a Group subsidiary could include changes to any or all features of such loan or investment, including its legal or regulatory form and
how it would rank in the insolvency hierarchy as a claim in the liquidation or administration of the subsidiary. Any restructuring of the Issuer's
loans to and investments in Barclays Bank or other Group subsidiaries may be implemented by the Issuer without prior notification to, or consent
of, holders of the notes. In addition, the terms of some loans to or investments made by the Issuer in capital instruments issued

by, Barclays Bank or any of the Issuer's other subsidiaries may contain contractual mechanisms that, upon the occurrence of a trigger related to the
prudential or financial condition of such subsidiary would result in a change in the ranking and type of claim the Issuer has against such subsidiary.
Such loans to, and investments in, Barclays Bank's or any of the Issuer's other subsidiaries may also be subject to the statutory write down and
conversion powers or the bail-in tool--see "Regulatory action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail could
materially adversely affect the value of the notes" below. Any changes in the legal or regulatory form and/or ranking of the loan or investment
could also impact its treatment in resolution.
For the reasons described above, if Barclays Bank or any of the Issuer's other subsidiaries were to be wound up, liquidated or dissolved,
(i) the holders of the notes would have no right to proceed against the assets of Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary, and (ii) the liquidator of
Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary would first apply the assets of Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary to settle the claims of the creditors of
Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary, including holders (which may include the Issuer) of preference shares, Tier 1 capital instruments ranking
ahead of the holders of ordinary shares of Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary and Tier 2 capital instruments of Barclays Bank or such other
subsidiary, before the Issuer, to the extent it is as an ordinary shareholder of Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary, would be entitled to receive
any distributions from Barclays Bank or such other subsidiary.
There is no restriction on the amount or type of further securities or indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may issue, incur or guarantee.
There is no restriction on the amount or type of further securities or indebtedness that we or our subsidiaries may issue, incur or guarantee, as
the case may be, that rank senior to, or pari passu with, the notes offered hereby. The issue or guaranteeing of any such further securities or
indebtedness may reduce the amount recoverable by holders of the notes on a liquidation or winding-up of Barclays and may limit our ability to

meet our obligations under the notes.
Regulatory action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely to fail could materially adversely affect the value of
the notes.
The BRRD provides an EU-wide framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, their subsidiaries and
certain holding companies. The BRRD requires all European Economic Area ("EEA") member states to provide their relevant resolution authorities
with a set of tools to intervene sufficiently early and quickly in an unsound or failing institution so as to ensure the continuity of the institution's
critical financial and economic functions, while minimizing the impact of an institution's failure on the broader economy and financial system.
In the United Kingdom, the majority of the requirements of the BRRD have been implemented into national law in the Banking Act. The
U.K. implementation of the BRRD included the introduction of the bail-in tool as of January 1, 2015. For more information on the bail-in tool and
on the related contractual recognition, see "--The relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise the bail-in tool in respect of the Issuer and the
notes, which may result in holders of the notes losing some or all of their investment" and "--Under the terms of the notes, you have agreed to be
bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority." below. The U.K. has deferred the implementation of
the MREL regime, pending, amongst other things, further developments from the Financial Stability Board ("FSB") for harmonising key
principles for Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity ("TLAC") globally. See "Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities" below.

The Banking Act confers substantial powers on a number of U.K. authorities designed to enable them to take a range of actions in relation to U.K.
banks or investment firms and certain of their affiliates in the event a bank or investment firm in the same group is considered to be failing or
likely to fail. The exercise of any of these actions in relation to the Issuer could materially adversely affect the value of the notes.
Under the Banking Act, substantial powers are granted to the Bank of England (or, in certain circumstances, HM Treasury), in consultation
with the PRA, the FCA and HM Treasury, as appropriate as part of a special resolution regime (the "SRR"). These powers enable the relevant U.K.
resolution authority to implement resolution measures with respect to a U.K. bank or investment firm and certain of its affiliates (including, for
example, the Issuer) (each a "relevant entity") in circumstances in which the relevant U.K. resolution authority is satisfied that the resolution
conditions are met. The stabilization options available to the relevant U.K. resolution authority under the SRR provide for:

(i)
private sector transfer of all or part of the business of the relevant entity;

(ii)
transfer of all or part of the business of the relevant entity to a "bridge bank" established by the Bank of England;

(iii) transfer to an asset management vehicle;

(iv) the bail-in tool; and

(v)
temporary public ownership (nationalization).
Each of these stabilization options is achieved through the exercise of one or more "stabilization powers," which include (i) the power to
make share transfer orders pursuant to which all or some of the securities issued by a relevant entity may be transferred to a commercial purchaser,
a bridge bank or, in the case of certain relevant entities, the U.K. government; (ii) the resolution instrument power which includes the exercise of
the bail-in tool; (iii) the power to transfer all or some of the property, rights and liabilities of a relevant entity to a commercial purchaser or Bank of
England entity; and (iv) the third country instrument powers that recognize the effect of similar special resolution action taken under the law of a
country outside the EEA (a "third country"). A share transfer order can extend to a wide range of securities, including shares and bonds issued by a
relevant entity and warrants for such shares and bonds and could, therefore, apply to the notes. In addition, the Banking Act grants powers to
modify contractual arrangements in certain circumstances, powers to suspend enforcement or termination rights that might be invoked as a result of
the exercise of the resolution powers and powers for the relevant U.K. resolution authority to disapply or modify laws in the U.K. (with possible
retrospective effect) to enable the powers under the Banking Act to be used effectively.
The exercise of any resolution power or any suggestion of any such exercise could materially adversely affect the value of the notes and could
lead to holders of the notes losing some or all of the value of their investment in the notes.
The SRR is designed to be triggered prior to insolvency of the Issuer, and holders of the notes may not be able to anticipate the exercise of any
resolution power (including the U.K. Bail-in Power) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.
The stabilization options are intended to be used prior to the point at which any insolvency proceedings with respect to the relevant entity
could have been initiated. The purpose of the stabilization options is to address the situation where all or part of a business of a relevant entity has
