Index composition is subject to change. 1 The investor fee is equal to the Yearly Fee times the principal amount of your securities times the index factor, calculated on a daily basis in the following manner: The investor fee on the inception date
will equal zero. On each subsequent calendar day until maturity or early redemption, the investor fee will increase by an amount equal to the Yearly Fee times the principal amount of your securities times the index factor on that day (or, if such
day is not a trading day, the index factor on the immediately preceding trading day) divided by 365. The index factor on any given day will be equal to the closing value of the index on that day divided by the initial index level. The initial index
level is the closing value of the index on the inception date of the securities.

current Index and iPath ETN performance, go to www.iPathETN.com. 3 Standard deviation is a measure of variability from the expected value. Standard Deviation % Annualized is based on monthly returns for 12/09-12/12, and describes how the annual
returns in a given annual period are likely to differ from average annualized returns. Because the Standard Deviation % Annualized is based on historical data, it may not predict variability in annualized performance of the ETNs in the future.

correlation coefficient of one, while the correlation coefficient will be zero when returns on two assets are completely independent. Source: BlackRock, Barclays Selected Risk Considerations An investment in the iPath ETNs described herein (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 level of the underlying index between the inception date and the applicable valuation date. Additionally, if the level of the underlying index 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 value of such index 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: If specified in the applicable prospectus,
Barclays Bank PLC will have the right to redeem or call a series of 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 Index
Contains a Futures Contract that Rolls on an Annual Basis: This index maintains its position in Natural Gas futures by rolling into a new Natural Gas contract with a December expiration on an annual basis. Accordingly, ETNs linked to this index are
less exposed to short-term factors and if there are short-term gains in the price of Natural Gas or Natural Gas futures, the index and the value of such ETNs may not benefit from such developments. Market and Volatility Risk: The prices of physical
commodities, including the commodities underlying the index components, can fluctuate widely due to supply and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions. Additionally, the market value of the ETNs may be influenced by many
unpredictable factorsincluding changes in supply and demand relationships, governmental policies and economic events.
DCNG Benefits Risks May provide portfolio diversification and completion* No principal
protection Ability to execute tactical views Credit risk of the issuer Interest Rate Management Concentration of index exposure Hedging Tool Minimum redemption value directly with issuer Exchange listed Market risk Daily redemption capabilities
directly to issuer Yearly fee and applicable costs No tracking error to their specified underlying index** * Diversification does not protect against market risk. ** Excluding fees and applicable costs and applies only to the indicative value, not
necessarily to the secondary market price. Tracking error refers to the under/over performance differential of an ETN versus its underlying index over a given time period, after accounting for the ETNs fees and costs. One cannot invest
directly in an index. Concentration Risk: Because the ETNs are linked to an index composed of futures contracts on a single commodity or in only one commodity sector, the ETNs are less diversified than other funds. The ETNs can therefore experience
greater volatility than other funds or investments. 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. No Interest Payments from the ETNs: You may not receive any interest payments on the ETNs. Restrictions on the Minimum Number of ETNs and Date Restrictions for Redemptions: You must redeem at least
50,000 ETNs of the same series 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. Uncertain Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the ETNs are uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about your own tax situation. Barclays Bank PLC has filed a registration statement
