Atlantic Trust Select MLP Index used as underlying index in the
Barclays ETN+ Select MLP ETNs (ticker: ATMP)
On April 28, 2017, Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP) and
Sunoco Logistics Partners (NYSE:SXL), two constituents of the
Atlantic Trust Select MLP Index (the “Index”), closed on their
previously announced merger, in which SXL acquired ETP. Effective
with the opening of market on April 28, 2017, ETP ceased to be a
publicly traded company, and its common units previously listed on
the NYSE under the ticker symbol “ETP” were de-listed. The
de-listing was originally scheduled to be effective on May 1, 2017;
however, the change in the de-listing date of ETP was made after
the close of the Index on April 27, 2017.
Due to the late change in the effective date of the de-listing,
Barclays Bank PLC, as index sponsor of the Index (the “Index
Sponsor”), has determined that the Index will continue to retain
the previous de-listing schedule for the ETP holding. Therefore,
the Index Sponsor will treat the ETP de-listing as effective on May
1, 2017 for purposes of the Index. The effective price of ETP used
in the Index level for April 28, 2017 will use the full day
Volume-Weighted Average Price (“VWAP”) price of SXL on April 28,
2017 multiplied by a factor of 1.5. The effective price of ETP used
in the Index level for April 28, 2017 will be $35.89, based on a
full day VWAP price on SXL equal to $23.925.
A notional cash allocation equal to the number of constituent
shares of ETP, multiplied by the effective price of ETP on April
28, 2017, will replace the allocation to ETP in the Index from and
including May 1, 2017. Such cash allocation will remain in the
Index until the next scheduled rebalance and will be reinvested
into the Index on the next rebalancing date. The next Index
rebalance will commence on July 14, 2017. The Index is rebalanced
quarterly over four index business days.
The Index is designed to provide exposure to a basket of
midstream U.S. and Canadian master limited partnerships, limited
liability companies and corporations (collectively, the “Index
Constituents”) that trade on major U.S. exchanges, are classified
in the GICS® Energy Sector or GICS® Gas Utilities Industry
according to the Global Industry Classification Standard® (“GICS”)
and meet certain eligibility criteria. The Index Constituents are
selected for inclusion in the Index using the Atlantic Trust Select
Master Limited Partnership Strategy (the “Strategy”)
developed by AT Investment Advisers, Inc. (the “Index Selection
Agent”). The Strategy dynamically selects a basket of up to 100
Index Constituents based on their long-term credit rating, the
portion of their cash flow driven by mid-stream operations and
their size as measured by free-float market capitalization and
average daily trading value. The Index Selection Agent provides the
Index Constituents selected by the Strategy to Barclays Bank PLC as
Index Sponsor. Constituent additions to and deletions from the
Index do not reflect an opinion by Barclays Bank PLC on the
investment merits of the respective securities.
The Barclays ETN+ Select MLP ETNs (the “ETNs”) are linked to the
performance of the VWAP of the Index. The ETNs were listed on the
NYSE Arca stock exchange in March 2013 under the ticker symbol
ATMP. An investment in the ETNs involves significant risks,
including possible loss of principal, and may not be suitable for
all investors. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt
securities and have no principal protection. The ETNs are
speculative and may exhibit high volatility. The ETNs are also
subject to certain investor fees, which will have a negative effect
on the value of the ETNs. You are not guaranteed to receive coupon
payments on the ETNs. You will receive a coupon payment on a coupon
payment date only to the extent that the accrued dividend exceeds
the accrued investor fee on the relevant coupon valuation date.
Owning the ETNs is not the same as owning interests in the
Index Constituents or a security directly linked to the performance
of the Index.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in any ETNs linked to the Atlantic Trust Select
MLP Index (the “ETNs”) involves risks. Selected risks are
summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed
explanation of risks described under “Risk Factors” in the
applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement.
You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal: The ETNs are
exposed to any decrease in the Volume Weighted Average Price
(“VWAP”) level between the inception date and the applicable
valuation date. Additionally, if the VWAP level is insufficient to
offset the negative effect of the investor fee and other applicable
costs, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity or
upon redemption, even if the VWAP value has increased. Because the
ETNs are subject to an investor fee and any other applicable costs,
the return on the ETNs will always be lower than the total return
on a direct investment in the index components. The ETNs are
riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no
principal protection.
Credit of Barclays Bank PLC: The ETNs are unsecured debt
obligations of the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either
directly or indirectly, an obligation of or guaranteed by any third
party. Any payment to be made on the ETNs, including any payment at
maturity or upon redemption, depends on the ability of Barclays
Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result,
the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC will
affect the market value, if any, of the ETNs prior to maturity or
redemption. In addition, in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to
default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to
you under the terms of the ETNs.
Issuer Redemption: Barclays Bank PLC will have the right
to redeem or “call” the ETNs (in whole but not in part) at its sole
discretion and without your consent on any trading day on or after
the inception date until and including maturity.
The Payment on the ETNs is Linked to the VWAP Level, Not to
the Closing Level of the Index and Not to the Published Intraday
Indicative Value of the ETNs: Your payment at maturity or upon
early redemption is linked to the performance of the VWAP level, as
compared to the initial VWAP level. Although the VWAP level is
intended to track the performance of the Index, the calculation of
the VWAP level is different from the calculation of the official
closing level of the Index. Therefore, the payment at maturity or
early redemption of your ETNs, may be different from the payment
you would receive if such payment were determined by reference to
the official closing level of the Index.
No Guaranteed Coupon Payments: You are not guaranteed to
receive coupon payments on the ETNs. You will receive a coupon
payment on a coupon payment date only to the extent that the
accrued dividend exceeds the accrued investor fee on the relevant
coupon valuation date. The amount of the accrued dividend on any
coupon valuation date depends in part on the aggregate cash value
of distributions that a reference holder would have been entitled
to receive in respect of the index constituents prior to the
relevant coupon valuation date.
Market and Volatility Risk: The return on the ETNs is
linked to the performance of the VWAP level of the Index which, in
turn, is linked to the performance of the master limited
partnerships and other securities that are included as index
constituents at any time. The prices of the index constituents may
change unpredictably and, as a result, affect the level of the
Index and the value of your ETNs in unforeseeable ways.
Concentration Risk: The index constituents are companies
in the Energy Sector or Gas Utilities Sector, as determined by the
GICS® classification system. In addition, many of the index
constituents are smaller, non-diversified businesses that are
exposed to the risks associated with such businesses, including the
lack of capital funding to sustain or grow businesses and potential
competition from larger, better financed and more diversified
businesses. The ETNs are susceptible to general market fluctuations
in the energy and gas MLP market and to volatile increases and
decreases in value, as market confidence in, and perceptions
regarding the index constituents change. Your investment may
therefore carry risks similar to a concentrated securities
investment in one industry or sector.
A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Develop: Although
the ETNs are listed on NYSE Arca, a trading market for the ETNs may
not develop and the liquidity of the ETNs may be limited, as we are
not required to maintain any listing of the ETNs.
Restrictions on the Minimum Number of ETNs and Date
Restrictions for Redemptions: You must redeem at least 50,000
ETNs at one time in order to exercise your right to redeem your
ETNs on any redemption date. You may only redeem your ETNs on a
redemption date if we receive a notice of redemption from you by
certain dates and times as set forth in the pricing supplement.
Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment
of the ETNs may be less favorable than a direct investment in MLPs
and are uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about
your own tax situation.
