Barclays PLC
We, Barclays PLC (the "Issuer" or "Barclays"), are issuing $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.836% Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes due 2028 (the "notes").
From (and including) the date of issuance, interest will accrue on the notes at a rate of 4.836% per annum. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrear on May 9 and November 9 in each year, commencing
on November 9, 2017.
The notes will constitute our direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves.
We may, at our option, redeem the notes then outstanding, in whole but not in part, on May 7, 2027 at an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount together with, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on
the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) such redemption date, as further described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Optional
Redemption." We may also, at our option, redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at any time at an amount equal to 100% of their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the
principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date, in the event of a change in certain U.K. regulatory capital requirements as described in this prospectus supplement under
"Description of Subordinated Notes--Regulatory Event Redemption." We may also, at our option, at any time, redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the notes being redeemed together with, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date, upon the occurrence of certain tax events
described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Tax Redemption." Any redemption or repurchase of the notes is subject to the provisions described in this prospectus
supplement under "Description of Subordinated Notes--Condition to Redemption" and "Description of Subordinated Notes--Conditions to Repurchase."
We will apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "BCS28A."
Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements, or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the notes, by acquiring the notes, each holder and beneficial owner of the
notes acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as defined herein) by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority (as defined herein) that
may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the notes; (ii) 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 (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the notes of such shares, securities or
obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the notes, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the notes, 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 notes solely to give effect to the exercise by the
Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each holder or beneficial owner of the notes further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders or beneficial owners of
the notes are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. For the avoidance of doubt, this
consent and acknowledgment is not a waiver of any rights holders or beneficial owners of the notes may have at law if and to the extent that any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the Relevant U.K.
Resolution Authority in breach of laws applicable in England.
For these purposes, a "U.K. Bail-in Power" is any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension 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 applicable in the United
Kingdom to the Issuer or other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of
any applicable European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment
firms, and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial
Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013, secondary legislation 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, amended, transferred 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).
By its acquisition of the notes, each holder and beneficial owner of the notes, to the extent permitted by the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), also waives
any and all claims against the Trustee (as defined herein) for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall not be liable for, any action that the
Trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the notes. For more
information, see the section entitled "Description of Subordinated Notes--Agreement with Respect to Exercise of U.K. Bail-in Power" in this prospectus supplement.

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 the Group's future financial position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, provisions, notable
items, business strategy, structural reform, 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, original and revised commitments and targets in connection with the strategic cost programme and the group strategy update as
announced by Barclays PLC on March 1, 2016, run down of assets and businesses within Barclays Non-Core (as such unit is defined on
page 450 of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") on February 23, 2017 (the "2016 Form 20-F")), sell down of the Group's interest in Barclays Africa Group
Limited, 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, future levels of notable items, 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; United
Kingdom ("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
implications of the exercise by the U.K. of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon and the disruption that may result in the U.K. and globally
from the withdrawal of the U.K. from the European Union; 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 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 SEC including in the 2016 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 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 PRA (as defined below), the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the London Stock Exchange plc (the "LSE") 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.

Ranking
The notes will constitute our direct, unsecured and subordinated obligations
ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves.
In the event of our winding up or administration, the claims of the Trustee (on
behalf of the holders of the notes but not the rights and claims of the Trustee in its
personal capacity under the Indenture (as defined below) and the holders of the
notes against us, in respect of such notes (including any damages or other
amounts (if payable)) shall:
(i)
be subordinated to the claims of all Senior Creditors;
(ii) rank at least pari passu with the claims in respect of Parity Obligations and
with the claims of all other subordinated creditors of the Issuer which in
each case by law rank, or by their terms are expressed to rank, pari passu
with the notes; and
(iii) rank senior to the Issuer's ordinary shares, preference shares and any junior
subordinated obligations (including Junior Obligations) or other securities
which in each case either by law rank, or by their terms are expressed to
rank, junior to the notes.
"Senior Creditors" means creditors of the Issuer (i) who are unsubordinated
creditors; or (ii) who are subordinated creditors (whether in the event of a
winding-up or administration of the Issuer or otherwise) other than (x) those
whose claims by law rank, or by their terms are expressed to rank, pari passu
with or junior to the claims of the holders of the notes or (y) those whose claims
are in respect of Parity Obligations or Junior Obligations.
"Parity Obligations" means the obligations of the Issuer (as issuer or borrower, as
the case may be) in respect of the 4.375% Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes 2024,
the 2.625% Fixed Rate Subordinated Callable Notes 2025 and the 5.20% Fixed

Contingent Convertible Securities and the 7.250% Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual

passu with any of such obligations.
In the event of our winding-up or liquidation, if any amount in respect of the
notes is paid to the holders of such notes or to the Trustee (including any
damages or other amounts (if payable)) before the claims of Senior Creditors,
then such payment or distribution shall be held by such holders or the Trustee
upon trust to be applied in the following order: (i) to the amounts due to the
Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the acceptance or administration of
the trust or trusts under the Indenture; (ii) in payment of all claims of Senior
Creditors outstanding at the commencement of, or arising solely by virtue of, a
winding up of the Issuer to the extent that such claims shall be admitted in the
winding up and shall not be satisfied out of the Issuer's other resources; and
(iii) in payment of notes issued under the Indenture. By accepting the notes, each
holder agrees to be bound by the Indenture's subordination provisions and
irrevocably authorizes the Issuer's liquidator to perform on behalf of the holder
the above subordination trust.
In addition, see "Risk Factors--The Issuer is a holding company, which means
that the Issuer's right to participate in the assets of any of its subsidiaries
(including those of Barclays Bank, the group service company, the US IHC and
the UK ring-fenced bank) upon the liquidation of such subsidiaries, and the
extent to which the Issuer suffers losses if it or any of its subsidiaries (including
Barclays Bank, the group service company, the US IHC and the UK ring-fenced
bank) are subject to bank resolution proceedings, may depend, amongst other
things, upon the degree to which the Issuer's loans to, and investments in, such
subsidiaries are subordinated."
No Set-off
Subject to applicable law, no holder of notes may exercise, claim or plead any
right of set-off, compensation or retention in respect of any amount owed to it by
us arising under, or in connection with, the notes and the Indenture and each
holder of notes shall, by virtue of its holding of any note, be deemed to have
waived all such rights of set-off, compensation or retention. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any amounts due and payable to any holder of the notes by us in
respect of, or arising under, the notes or the Indenture are discharged by set-off,
such holder shall, subject to applicable law, immediately pay to us an amount
equal to the amount of such discharge (or, in the event of our winding-up or
administration, our liquidator or administrator, as the case may be) and, until such
time as payment is made, shall hold an amount equal to such amount in trust for
us (or
