Barclays Bank PLC (the “Issuer”) announced today that, in
connection with its previously announced cash tender offers (each,
an “Offer”) to purchase any and all of its outstanding
exchange-traded notes (the “Notes” or the “ETNs”) of
sixteen separate series (each, a “Series”) and the
solicitation of consents (each, a “Consent Solicitation”)
from holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) to amend
certain provisions of the Notes with respect to each Series, it has
increased the Purchase Price per Note applicable to certain
Series.
Each Offer and Consent Solicitation is subject to the conditions
and restrictions set out in the Offer to Purchase and Consent
Solicitation Statement dated December 7, 2023, as supplemented by
Supplement No. 1 dated March 7, 2024 (“Supplement No. 1”)
and Supplement No. 2 dated March 20, 2024 (as so supplemented, and
as it may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the
“Statement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in
this announcement have the meanings given in the Statement. Except
as otherwise set forth below, the terms and conditions of the
Offers and Consent Solicitations as set forth in Supplement No. 1
will continue to apply.
Purchase Price Amendments
For each Series listed in the table below, the Purchase Price
per Note has been increased from the value specified in Supplement
No. 1. The specified Purchase Price per Note for each Series listed
below reflects a premium to the Closing Indicative Note Value of
that Series on March 20, 2024. The Purchase Price may be lower than
the trading price of the Notes of that Series on the Expiration
Date. The Expiration Date for each Series is April 3, 2024 and has
not changed from the date specified in Supplement No. 1.

* The Purchase Price is a set dollar amount and may be
lower than the Closing Indicative Note Value of that Series on the
Expiration Date.
If a Noteholder has already validly tendered and not withdrawn
its Notes of a Series pursuant to an Offer set forth in Supplement
No. 1, such Noteholder is not required to take any further action
with respect to such Notes and such tender constitutes a valid
tender for purposes of the relevant Offer, as amended hereby. Any
increase to the Purchase Price per Note set forth above will be
applicable to such Notes. The Purchase Price is payable on April
10, 2024, unless the relevant Offer is further extended or early
terminated by the Issuer.
Because the Closing Indicative Note Value for each Series is
calculated based on the applicable Closing Index Level, if the
applicable Closing Index Level has increased as of the Expiration
Date, the Purchase Price of that Series may be significantly less
than the Closing Indicative Note Value on the Expiration Date. In
addition, the Notes of any Series may trade at a substantial
premium to or discount from the applicable Closing Indicative Note
Value. Accordingly, the Purchase Price for any Series may be lower
than the trading price of the Notes of that Series on the
Expiration Date.
Subject to applicable law, the Offer and Consent Solicitation
for each Series is being made independently of the Offer and
Consent Solicitation for each other Series, and the Issuer reserves
the right, subject to applicable law, to withdraw or terminate the
Offer and Consent Solicitation for any Series if any of the
conditions described in the Statement have not been satisfied or
waived without also withdrawing or terminating any other Offer or
Consent Solicitation. In addition, the Issuer reserves the right,
subject to applicable law, to extend or amend the Offer and Consent
Solicitation for any Series at any time and for any reason without
also extending or amending any other Offer or Consent
Solicitation.

DISCLAIMER
This announcement must be read in conjunction with the
Statement. No offer or invitation to acquire or exchange any
securities is being made pursuant to this announcement. This
announcement and the Statement contain important information, which
must be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to
the Offers and Consent Solicitations. If any Noteholder is in any
doubt as to the action it should take, it is recommended to seek
its own legal, tax and financial advice, including as to any tax
consequences, from its stockbroker, bank manager, lawyer,
accountant or other independent financial adviser. Any individual
or company whose Notes are held on its behalf by a broker, dealer,
bank, custodian, trust company or other nominee must contact such
entity if it wishes to participate in an Offer and Consent
Solicitation. None of the Issuer, the Dealer Manager or the Tender

employee or agent of such persons, or any affiliate of such
persons) makes any recommendation as to whether Noteholders should
participate in any Offer and Consent Solicitation.
General
Neither this announcement, the Statement nor the electronic
transmission thereof constitutes an offer to buy or the
solicitation of an offer to sell Notes (and tenders of Notes for
purchase pursuant to the Offers will not be accepted from
Noteholders) in any circumstances in which such Offer or
solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the Notes,
blue sky or other laws require the Offers to be made by a licensed
broker or dealer and the Dealer Manager or any of its affiliates is
such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the
Offers shall be deemed to be made by such Dealer Manager or such
affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Issuer in such
jurisdiction. None of the Issuer, the Dealer Manager or the Tender
Agent (or any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of,
any such person) makes any recommendation as to whether Noteholders
should tender Notes in the Offers or Consent Solicitations. In
addition, each Noteholder participating in an Offer will be deemed
to give certain representations in respect of the other
jurisdictions referred to below and generally as set out in the
Statement under the section entitled “Procedures for Participating
in the Offer.” Any tender of Notes for purchase pursuant to an
Offer from a Noteholder that is unable to make these
representations will not be accepted.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the ETNs described herein 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 change in the level of the underlying index or exchange
rate, as applicable (the “index”) between the inception date
and the applicable valuation date. Additionally, if the level of
the 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
level of such index has increased or decreased, as the case may be.
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 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, if Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its
obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the
terms of the ETNs.
Market and Volatility Risk: The market value of the ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors and may fluctuate between
the date you purchase them and the maturity date or redemption
date. You may also sustain a significant loss if you sell your ETNs
in the secondary market. Factors that may influence the market
value of the ETNs include prevailing market prices of the commodity
markets, the U.S. stock markets or the U.S. Treasury market, the
index components included in the underlying index, and prevailing
market prices of options on such index or any other financial
instruments related to such index; and supply and demand for the
ETNs, including economic, financial, political, regulatory,
geographical or judicial events that affect the level of such index
or other financial instruments related to such 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: The ETNs are not
listed on any securities exchange. A trading market for the ETNs
may not develop and the liquidity of the ETNs may be limited.
No Interest Payments from the ETNs: You may not receive any
interest payments on the ETNs.
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.
The ETNs may be sold throughout the day through certain
brokerage accounts. Commissions may apply and there are tax
consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of ETNs.
Sales in the secondary market may result in significant
losses.
