Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nikkei
225 Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
Unlike conventional debt securities,
the securities do not guarantee the payment of interest or the return of the full principal amount at maturity. Instead, the securities
offer the opportunity for investors to receive a contingent quarterly payment equal to at least 4.0625% of the stated principal amount
(the actual contingent quarterly payment will be determined on the pricing date) with respect to each quarterly determination period if
a coupon barrier event has not occurred during that determination period. However, if a coupon barrier event has occurred during a determination
period, investors will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for that determination period. A coupon barrier event will occur with
respect to a determination period if the closing level of any underlier is less than 75% of its initial underlier value, which we refer
to as a coupon barrier level, on any scheduled trading day during that determination
period. In addition, on any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment date), we will have the right to redeem
the securities at our discretion for an amount per security equal to the stated principal amount plus any contingent quarterly
payment otherwise due. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the
performance of the underliers. If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlier value of each underlier
is greater than or equal to 70% of its initial underlier value, which we refer to as a downside threshold level, the payment at maturity
due on the securities will be equal to the stated principal amount plus any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due. However,
if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlier value of any underlier is less than its downside threshold
level, at maturity investors will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% that the final underlier value of the worst performing
underlier is less than its initial underlier value. Under these circumstances, the amount investors receive will be less than 70% of the
stated principal amount and could be zero. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underliers,
a decline in the closing level of any underlier below its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading day during most or all of the
determination periods will result in few or no contingent quarterly payments, and a decline in the closing level of any underlier below
its downside threshold level on the final determination date will result in a significant loss of your investment, in each case, even
if the other underliers appreciate or have not declined as much. The securities are for investors who are willing and able to risk their
principal and forgo guaranteed interest payments, in exchange for the opportunity to potentially receive contingent quarterly payments
at an above-market rate, subject to early redemption at our discretion. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlier
even though investors will be exposed to the depreciation in the value of the worst performing underlier if the securities have not been
redeemed prior to maturity and the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier
is less than its downside threshold level. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. The securities are
unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Barclays Bank PLC. Any payment on the securities, including any repayment of principal,
is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC and is not guaranteed by any third party. If Barclays Bank PLC were to default
on its payment obligations or become subject to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as described on page 5 of this document) by the
relevant U.K. resolution authority, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities. See “Risk Factors”
and “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this document and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

| Maturity date†: |
August 12, 2027 |
| Contingent quarterly payment: |
· If
a coupon barrier event has not occurred during a determination period, we will pay a contingent quarterly payment of at least $40.625
(at least 4.0625% of the stated principal amount) per security on the related contingent payment date with respect to that determination
period. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be determined on the pricing date.
· If
a coupon barrier event has occurred during a determination period, no contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to that
determination period. |
| Payment at maturity: |
If the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, you will receive
on the maturity date a cash payment per security determined as follows:
· If
the final underlier value of each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level:
(i) stated principal amount plus (ii)
any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due
· If
the final underlier value of any underlier is less than its downside threshold level:
stated principal amount × underlier
performance factor of the worst performing underlier
Under these circumstances, the payment at maturity will be less
than the stated principal amount of $1,000 and will represent a loss of more than 30%, and possibly all, of an investor’s initial
investment. Investors may lose their entire initial investment in the securities. Any payment on the securities, including any repayment
of principal, is not guaranteed by any third party and is subject to (a) the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC and (b) the risk of
exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.

One or more of our affiliates may purchase up to 15% of the aggregate
principal amount of the securities and hold such securities for investment for a period of at least 30 days. Accordingly, the total principal
amount of the securities may include a portion that was not purchased by investors on the original issue date. Any unsold portion held
by our affiliate(s) may affect the supply of securities available for secondary trading and, therefore, could adversely affect the price
of the securities in the secondary market. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those of our affiliates could be in conflict
with your interests.
Investing in the securities involves risks not associated
with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of this document and beginning

| Terms continued from previous page: |
| Coupon barrier event: |
A coupon barrier event will occur with respect to a determination period
if the closing level of any underlier is less than its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading day for that underlier during
that determination period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a market disruption event occurs with
respect to an underlier on any scheduled trading day for that underlier during a determination period (other than a determination period-end
date), the closing level of that underlier on that day will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a coupon barrier event
has occurred with respect to that determination period. For the avoidance of doubt, if any day during a determination period is a scheduled
trading day for any underlier and no market disruption event occurs with respect to that underlier on that day, the calculation agent
will observe the closing level of that underlier on that day for purposes of determining whether a contingent quarterly payment is payable,
even if that day is not a scheduled trading day for any other underlier or a market disruption event has occurred with respect to any
other underlier on that day.
|
| Optional early redemption: |
On any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment date), we will have the right to redeem the securities, in whole, but not in part, at our discretion, for the early redemption payment. If we decide to redeem the securities on a contingent payment date, we will give you notice on or before the immediately preceding determination period-end date. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the underliers. No further payments will be made on the securities after they have been redeemed. |

Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value
of the Securities
Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables
and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates
and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables, such
as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our
benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the pricing date is based on our internal funding rates.
Our estimated value of the securities might be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities
trade in the secondary market.
Our estimated value of the securities on the pricing date is expected
to be less than the initial issue price of the securities. The difference between the initial issue price of the securities and our estimated
value of the securities is expected to result from several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to Barclays Capital
Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated
intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, the
estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may
incur in connection with the securities. These other costs will include a fee paid to LFT Securities, LLC, an entity in which an affiliate
of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has an ownership interest, for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this
offering.
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price
at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the
securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours
intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing
date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, and the value
that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated
value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 40 days after the initial issue date of the securities because,
in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under
the securities and other costs in connection with the securities that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities.
We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, which may
include the tenor of the securities and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated
costs that we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we
may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the initial issue date of the
securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read “Risk Factors” beginning on page
14 of this document.
You may revoke your offer to purchase
the securities at any time prior to the pricing date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the
securities prior to their pricing date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the securities, we will notify you and you will be
asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes in which case we may reject
your offer to purchase.

Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power
Notwithstanding and to the
exclusion of any other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial
owner of the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder and beneficial
owner of the securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant
U.K. resolution authority.
Under the U.K. Banking Act 2009,
as amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power in circumstances in which the relevant U.K. resolution
authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met. These conditions include that a U.K. bank or investment firm is failing
or is likely to fail to satisfy the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) threshold conditions for authorization
to carry on certain regulated activities (within the meaning of section 55B FSMA) or, in the case of a U.K. banking group company that
is a European Economic Area (“EEA”) or third country institution or investment firm, that the relevant EEA or third country
relevant authority is satisfied that the resolution conditions are met in respect of that entity.
The U.K. Bail-in Power includes
any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power, which allows for (i) the reduction or cancellation of all,
or a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or
a portion, of the principal amount of, interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the securities into shares or other securities or
other obligations of Barclays Bank PLC or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the holder or beneficial owner of the securities
such shares, securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the securities and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity
of the securities, or amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the securities, or the dates on which interest or
any other amounts become 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 securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of
such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each holder and beneficial owner of the securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders
or beneficial owners of the securities 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 securities 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 more information, please see

exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority” in this document as well as “U.K. Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks

Investment Summary
Contingent Income Callable Securities
Principal at Risk Securities
The Contingent Income Callable Securities due August 12, 2027 Based
on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nikkei 225 Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500®
Index, which we refer to as the securities, provide an opportunity for investors to receive a contingent quarterly payment, which is an
amount equal to at least $40.625 (at least 4.0625% of the stated principal amount), with respect to each quarterly determination period
if a coupon barrier event has not occurred during that determination period. However, if a coupon barrier event has occurred during a
determination period, investors will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for that determination period. A coupon barrier event
will occur with respect to a determination period if the closing level of any underlier is less than 75% of its initial underlier value,
which we refer to as a coupon barrier level, on any scheduled trading day during that determination period. The actual contingent
quarterly payment will be determined on the pricing date. The closing level of at least one of the underliers could be below its coupon
barrier level on any scheduled trading day during most or all of the determination periods so that you receive few or no contingent quarterly
payments over the term of the securities.
On any contingent payment date (other than the final contingent payment
date), we will have the right to redeem the securities at our discretion for an early redemption payment equal to the stated principal
amount plus any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, investors will receive
no further contingent quarterly payments. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically
occur based on the performance of the underliers. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final underlier
value of each underlier is greater than or equal to 70% of its initial underlier value, which we refer to as a downside threshold level,
the payment at maturity will be equal to the stated principal amount plus any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due. However,
if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final underlier value of any underlier is less than its downside threshold
level, investors will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% that the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier
is less than its initial underlier value. Under these circumstances, the amount investors receive will be less than 70% of the stated
principal amount and could be zero. Investors in the securities must be willing and able to accept the risk of losing their entire initial
investment based on the performance of the worst performing underlier and also the risk of not receiving any contingent quarterly payment
throughout the entire term of the securities. In addition, investors will not participate in any appreciation of any underlier.

Principal at Risk Securities
Key Investment Rationale
The securities are for investors who are willing and able to risk their
principal and forgo guaranteed interest payments, in exchange for the opportunity to potentially receive contingent quarterly payments
at an above-market rate, subject to early redemption at our discretion. The securities offer investors an opportunity to receive a contingent
quarterly payment of at least $40.625 (at least 4.0625% of the stated principal amount) with respect to each determination period if a
coupon barrier event has not occurred during that determination period. The actual contingent quarterly payment will be determined on
the pricing date. In addition, the following scenarios reflect the potential payment on the securities, if any, upon an early redemption
or at maturity:
| Scenario 1 |
On any contingent payment date (other than the final
contingent payment date), we redeem the securities.
§ The
securities will be redeemed for (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due.
§ Investors
will not participate in any appreciation of any underlier from its initial underlier value and will receive no further contingent quarterly
payments.
Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and
will not automatically occur based on the performance of the underliers. It is more likely that we will redeem the securities when it
would otherwise be advantageous for you to continue to hold the securities. As such, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when
the expected interest payable on the securities is greater than the interest that would be payable on other instruments of a comparable
maturity and credit rating trading in the market. In other words, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the securities
are paying an above-market coupon. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity, no further contingent quarterly payments will be
made on the securities and you may be forced to reinvest in a lower interest rate environment. There is no guarantee that you would be
able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities in a comparable investment with a similar level of risk in the event
the securities are redeemed prior to the maturity date. On the other hand, we will be less likely to exercise our redemption right when
the expected interest payable on the securities is less than the interest that would be payable on other instruments of a comparable maturity
and credit rating trading in the market. Under these circumstances, it is also more likely that you will receive few or no contingent
quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment at maturity.
|
| Scenario 2 |
The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity
and the final underlier value of each underlier is greater than or equal to its downside threshold level.
§ The
payment due at maturity will be (i) the stated principal amount plus (ii) any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due.
§ Investors
will not participate in any appreciation of any underlier from its initial underlier value.
|
| Scenario 3 |
The securities are not redeemed prior to maturity
and the final underlier value of any underlier is less than its downside threshold level.
§ The
payment due at maturity will be equal to the stated principal amount times the underlier performance factor of the worst performing
underlier. In this case, at maturity, the securities pay less than 70% of the stated principal amount and the percentage loss of the stated
principal amount will be equal to the percentage decrease in the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier from its initial
underlier value. For example, if the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier is 55% less than its initial underlier
value, the securities will pay $450.00 per security, or 45% of the stated principal amount, for a loss of 55% of the stated principal
amount. Investors will lose a significant portion and may lose all of their principal in this scenario.

Selected Purchase Considerations
The securities are not appropriate
for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:

Hypothetical Examples
The numbers appearing in the following examples may have been rounded
for ease of analysis. The examples below assume that the securities will be held until maturity or earlier redemption and do not take
into account the tax consequences of an investment in the securities. The examples below are based on the following terms:*
| Hypothetical Initial Underlier Values: |
With respect to each underlier: 100.00 |
| Hypothetical Coupon Barrier Levels: |
With respect to each underlier: 75.000, which is 75% of its hypothetical initial underlier value |
| Hypothetical Downside Threshold Levels: |
With respect to each underlier: 70.000, which is 70% of its hypothetical initial underlier value |
| Hypothetical Contingent Quarterly Payment: |
$40.625 (4.0625% of the stated principal amount). The actual contingent quarterly payment will be set on the pricing date and will be at least 4.0625% of the stated principal amount. |
| Stated Principal Amount: |
$1,000 per security |
* Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples may not represent
the actual initial underlier values, coupon barrier levels, downside threshold levels or contingent quarterly payment applicable to the
securities. In particular, the hypothetical initial underlier value of 100.00 for each underlier used in these examples has been chosen
for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual initial underlier value for any underlier. Please see “Nikkei
225 Index Overview,” “Russell 2000® Index Overview” and “S&P 500® Index Overview”
below for recent actual values of the underliers. The actual initial underlier values, coupon barrier levels, downside threshold levels
and contingent quarterly payment applicable to the securities will be determined on the pricing date.
The examples below are based on the worst performing underlier during
each determination period and on the final determination date, and assume that no market disruption event occurs with respect to any underlier
during the term of the securities. We make no representation or warranty as to which of the underliers will be the worst performing underlier
for the purpose of calculating the payment at maturity, if applicable, or as to what the closing level of any underlier will be on any
scheduled trading day during any determination period. For purposes of the examples below, the “worst performing underlier”
on any scheduled trading day during each determination period or on the final determination date will be the underlier with the largest
percentage decline from its initial underlier value to its closing level on that scheduled trading day or the final determination date,
as applicable.
In Examples 1 and 2, we redeem the securities on one of the contingent
payment dates prior to the final contingent payment date. In Examples 3 and 4, the securities are not redeemed prior to, and remain outstanding
until, maturity. Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance
of the underliers.

* If we redeem the securities, the early redemption payment will include
any contingent quarterly payment otherwise due.
In Example 1, we redeem the securities on the contingent payment date
following the first determination period. As a coupon barrier event did not occur during the first determination period, the early redemption
payment you receive following the first determination period will include the contingent quarterly payment due with respect to that determination
period, and the early redemption payment will be calculated as follows:
stated principal
amount + contingent quarterly payment = $1,000 + $40.625 = $1,040.625
In this example, the optional early redemption feature limits the
term of your investment to approximately 3 months, and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities
are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly payments. Further, even if the worst performing underlier has appreciated
significantly from its initial underlier value as of the first determination period-end date, upon early redemption you receive only $1,040.625
per security and will not benefit from the appreciation of any underlier.
In Example 2, we redeem the securities on the contingent payment date
following the sixth determination period. As a coupon barrier event has not occurred during the first and fifth determination periods,
you receive the contingent quarterly payment of $40.625 with respect to those determination periods. Because a coupon barrier event has
occurred with respect to the sixth determination period, the early redemption payment you receive following the sixth determination period
will not include any contingent quarterly payment with respect to that determination period, and the early redemption payment will be
equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000. Moreover, because a coupon barrier event occurred with respect to the second, third and
fourth determination periods, no contingent quarterly payment is made with respect to those determination periods.
In this example, the optional early redemption feature limits the
term of your investment to approximately 18 months, and you may not be able to reinvest at comparable terms or returns. If the securities
are redeemed early, you will stop receiving contingent quarterly payments.

Examples 3 and 4 illustrate the payment at maturity per security based
on the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier.
In Example 3, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and
a coupon barrier event has occurred during each determination period throughout the term of the securities. As a result, you do not receive
any contingent quarterly payments during the term of the securities even if the closing levels of the other underliers on each scheduled
trading day during the determination periods have appreciated or have not declined below their respective coupon barrier levels and even
if the closing level of the worst performing underlier on the determination period-end date for that determination period is greater than
its coupon barrier level. In addition, because the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier is less than its downside threshold
level, at maturity, your initial investment is fully exposed to the decline in the closing level of the worst performing underlier. Thus,
investors will receive a cash payment at maturity that is significantly less than the stated principal amount, calculated as follows:
($1,000 ×
underlier performance factor of the worst performing underlier)
= $1,000
× (final underlier value of the worst performing underlier / initial underlier value of the
worst performing underlier)
= $1,000
× (50.00 / 100.00) = $500.00
In this example, the cash payment you receive at maturity is significantly
less than the stated principal amount.
In Example 4, the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity and
a coupon barrier event has occurred during each determination period throughout the term of the securities. As a result, you do not receive
any contingent quarterly payments with respect to any determination period even if the closing levels of the other underliers on each
scheduled trading day during the determination periods have appreciated or have not declined below their respective coupon barrier levels
and even if the closing level of the worst performing underlier on the determination period-end date for that determination period is
greater than its coupon barrier level. In addition, the closing level of the worst performing underlier decreases to a final underlier
value of 72.50. Although the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier is less than its initial underlier value, because
the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier is still not less than its downside threshold level, you receive the stated
principal amount at maturity. However, because a coupon barrier event has occurred during the final determination period, you will not
receive a contingent quarterly payment with respect to the final determination period.
In this example, although the final
underlier value of the worst performing underlier represents a decline of 27.50% from its initial underlier value, you receive the stated
principal amount of $1,000 per security at maturity because the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier is not less than
its downside threshold level.

Principal at Risk Securities
Risk Factors
An investment in the securities involves significant risks. We urge
you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the securities. Investing in the securities
is not equivalent to investing directly in any or all of the underliers or the securities composing the underliers. Some of the risks
that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating
to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the securities
unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the securities.
Risks Relating to the Securities Generally
| § | The securities do not guarantee the return of any principal.
The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that the securities do not guarantee the return of any
of the stated principal amount at maturity. Instead, if the securities have not been redeemed prior to maturity and if the final underlier
value of any underlier is less than its downside threshold level, you will be exposed to the decline in the closing level of the worst
performing underlier, as compared to its initial underlier value, on a 1-to-1 basis and you will receive for each security that you hold
at maturity an amount in cash equal to the stated principal amount times the underlier performance factor of the worst performing
underlier. Under these circumstances, your payment at maturity will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be zero. |
| § | You will not receive any contingent quarterly payment
for any quarterly determination period if a coupon barrier event occurs on any scheduled trading day during that determination period
with respect to any underlier. The terms of the securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that they do not provide
for regular interest payments. Instead, a contingent quarterly payment will be made with respect to a determination period only if a coupon
barrier event has not occurred during that determination period. A coupon barrier event will occur if the closing level of any
underlier is less than its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading day during that determination period. If the closing level of
at least one underlier is below its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading day during a determination period (i.e., if a coupon
barrier event has occurred during that determination period), you will not receive a contingent quarterly payment with respect to that
determination period even if the closing levels of the other underliers on each scheduled trading day during the determination periods
have appreciated or have not declined below their respective coupon barrier levels and even if each underlier closes above its coupon
barrier level on the determination period-end date for that determination period. Therefore, unless each underlier closes above its coupon
barrier level on each scheduled trading day during a determination period, you will not receive any contingent quarterly payment for that
determination period. The closing level of the worst performing underlier could be below its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading
day during most or all of the determination periods so that you receive few or no contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities.
If you do not receive sufficient contingent quarterly payments over the term of the securities, the overall return on the securities may
be less than the amount that would be paid on a conventional debt security of the issuer of comparable maturity. |
| § | You will not participate in any appreciation in the value
of any underlier. You will not participate in any appreciation in the value of any underlier from its initial underlier value even
though you will be exposed to the depreciation in the value of the worst performing underlier if the securities have not been redeemed
prior to maturity and the final underlier value of the worst performing underlier is less than its downside threshold level. The return
on the securities will be limited to the contingent quarterly payment that is paid with respect to each determination period during which
a coupon barrier event has not occurred. |
| § | You are exposed to the market risk of each underlier,
with respect to both the contingent quarterly payments, if any, and the payment at maturity, if any. Your return on the securities
is not linked to a basket consisting of each underlier. Rather, it will be contingent upon the independent performance of each underlier.
Unlike an instrument with a return linked to a basket of underlying assets in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all the components
of the basket, you will be exposed to the risks related to each underlier. Poor performance by any underlier over the term of the securities
may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance by the other underliers. To receive
a contingent quarterly payment with respect to a determination period, each underlier must close at or above its coupon barrier level
on each scheduled trading day during that determination period. In addition, if the securities have not been redeemed early and any underlier
has declined to below its downside threshold level as of the final determination date, you will be fully exposed to the decline in the
worst performing underlier over the term of the securities on a 1-to-1 basis, even if the other underliers have appreciated or have not
declined as much. Under this scenario, the value of any such payment will be less than 70% of the stated principal amount and could be
zero. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each underlier. |
| § | Because the securities are linked to the performance of
the worst performing underlier, you are exposed to greater risks of no contingent quarterly payments and sustaining a significant loss
on your investment than if the securities were linked to just one underlier. The risk that you will not receive any contingent quarterly
payments, or that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment, is greater if you invest in the securities as opposed to substantially
similar securities that are linked to the performance of just one underlier. With three underliers, it is more likely that any underlier
will close below its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading day during any determination period than if the securities were linked
to only one underlier, and therefore it is more likely that you will not receive any contingent quarterly payments. In addition, with
three |

Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nikkei 225 Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
underliers, it is more likely that any
underlier will close below its downside threshold level on the final determination date than if the securities were linked to only one
underlier, and therefore it is more likely that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment.
| § | Early redemption risk. The term of your investment
in the securities may be limited to as short as approximately three months by the optional early redemption feature of the securities.
Any early redemption of the securities will be at our discretion and will not automatically occur based on the performance of the underliers.
It is more likely that we will redeem the securities when it would otherwise be advantageous for you to continue to hold the securities.
As such, we will be more likely to redeem the securities when the expected interest payable on the securities is greater than the interest
that would be payable on other instruments of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in the market. In other words, we will be
more likely to redeem the securities when the securities are paying an above-market coupon. If the securities are redeemed prior to maturity,
no further contingent quarterly payments will be made on the securities and you may be forced to reinvest in a lower interest rate environment.
There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the securities in a comparable investment
with a similar level of risk in the event the securities are redeemed prior to the maturity date. On the other hand, we will be less likely
to exercise our redemption right when the expected interest payable on the securities is less than the interest that would be payable
on other instruments of a comparable maturity and credit rating trading in the market. Under these circumstances, it is also more likely
that you will receive few or no contingent quarterly payments and that you will suffer a significant loss on your investment at maturity. |
| § | Any payment on the securities will be determined based
on the closing levels of the underliers on the dates specified. Any payment on the securities will be determined based on the closing
levels of the underliers on the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable values of the underliers determined at any
other time. |
| § | Contingent repayment of principal applies only at maturity
or upon any early redemption. You should be willing and able to hold the securities to maturity or any early redemption. If you sell
the securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you may have to sell the securities at a loss relative to your initial
investment even if the level of each underlier is above its downside threshold level. |
| § | The securities are subject to
volatility risk. Volatility is a measure of the degree
of variation in the levels of the underliers over a period of time. The contingent quarterly payment is determined based on a number of
factors, including the expected volatility of the underliers. The contingent quarterly payment is higher than the fixed rate that we would
pay on a conventional debt security of the same tenor and is higher than it otherwise would be if the level of expected volatility of
the underliers taken into account in determining the terms of the securities were lower. As volatility of an underlier increases, there
will typically be a greater likelihood that (a) the closing level of that underlier will be less than its coupon barrier level during
one or more determination periods and (b) the final underlier value of that underlier will be less than its downside threshold level. |
Accordingly, you should understand that a higher contingent
quarterly payment reflects, among other things, an indication of a greater likelihood that you will (a) not receive contingent quarterly
payments with respect to one or more determination periods and/or (b) incur a loss of principal at maturity than would have been the case
had the contingent quarterly payment been lower. In addition, actual volatility over the term of the securities may be significantly higher
than the expected volatility at the time the terms of the securities were determined. If actual volatility is higher than expected, you
will face an even greater risk that you will not receive contingent quarterly payments and/or that you will lose a significant portion
or all of your principal at maturity for the reasons described above.
| § | Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing
in any or all underliers or the securities composing the underliers. Investors in the securities will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the securities composing the underliers. |
| § | Tax treatment. Significant
aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor about your tax situation. See “Additional
provisions—Tax considerations” below. |
Risks Relating to the Issuer
| § | Credit of issuer. The securities are unsecured and
unsubordinated debt obligations of the issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third
party. Any payment to be made on the securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the ability of Barclays Bank PLC
to satisfy its obligations as they come due and is not guaranteed by any third party. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness
of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value of the securities and, in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations,
you might not receive any amount owed to you under the terms of the securities. |

Principal at Risk Securities
| § | You may lose some or all of your
investment if any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. Notwithstanding and to the exclusion
of any other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or
beneficial owner of the securities (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the securities), by acquiring the securities, each holder
and beneficial owner of the securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in
Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority as set forth under “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this document. Accordingly,
any U.K. Bail-in Power may be exercised in such a manner as to result in you and other holders and beneficial owners of the securities
losing all or a part of the value of your investment in the securities or receiving a different security from the securities, which may
be worth significantly less than the securities and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded to debt
securities. Moreover, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise the U.K. Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice
to, or requiring the consent of, the holders and beneficial owners of the securities. The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant
U.K. resolution authority with respect to the securities will not be a default or an Event of Default (as each term is defined in the
senior debt securities indenture) and the trustee will 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 securities.
See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this document as well as “U.K. Bail-in Power,” “Risk Factors—Risks
Relating to the Securities Generally—Regulatory action in the event a bank or investment firm in the Group is failing or likely
to fail, including the exercise by the relevant U.K. resolution authority of a variety of statutory resolution powers, could materially
adversely affect the value of any securities” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Securities Generally—Under
the terms of the securities, you have agreed to be bound by the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority”
in the accompanying prospectus supplement. |
Risks Relating to the Underliers
| § | Adjustments to the underliers could adversely affect the
value of the securities. The sponsor of an underlier may add, delete, substitute or adjust the securities composing that underlier
or make other methodological changes to that underlier that could affect its performance. The calculation agent will calculate the value
to be used as the closing level of an underlier in the event of certain material changes in or modifications to that underlier. In addition,
the sponsor of an underlier may also discontinue or suspend calculation or publication of that underlier at any time. Under these circumstances,
the calculation agent may select a successor index that the calculation agent determines to be comparable to the discontinued underlier
or, if no successor index is available, the calculation agent will determine the value to be used as the closing level of that underlier.
Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the relevant underlier and, consequently, the value of the securities. See “Reference
Assets—Indices—Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Index as a Reference Asset” in the accompanying prospectus
supplement. |
| § | Governmental legislative or regulatory actions, such as
sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the securities. Governmental legislative or regulatory actions, including, without
limitation, sanctions-related actions by the U.S. or a foreign government, could prohibit or otherwise restrict persons from holding the
securities or securities included in any underlier, or engaging in transactions in them, and any such action could adversely affect the
value of that underlier. These legislative or regulatory actions could result in restrictions on the securities. You may lose a significant
portion or all of your initial investment in the securities if you are forced to divest the securities due to government mandates, especially
if such divestment must be made at a time when the value of the securities has declined. |
| § | The securities are subject to small-capitalization companies
risk with respect to the RTY Index. The RTY Index tracks companies that are considered small-capitalization companies. These companies
often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies, and therefore
securities linked to the RTY Index may be more volatile than an investment linked to an index with component stocks issued by large-capitalization
companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse
business and economic developments. In addition, small-capitalization companies are typically less stable financially than large-capitalization
companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Small-capitalization companies
are often subject to less analyst coverage and may be in early, and less predictable, periods of their corporate existences. Such companies
tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service markets, fewer financial resources
and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products. |
| § | There are risks associated with investments in securities
linked to the value of non-U.S. equity securities in non-U.S. securities markets with respect to the NKY Index. The equity securities
composing the NKY Index are issued by non-U.S. companies in non-U.S. securities markets. Investments in securities linked to the value
of such non-U.S. equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in the home countries of the issuers of those
non-U.S. equity securities, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross shareholdings
in companies in certain countries. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about companies in some of these jurisdictions
than there is about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and generally non-U.S. companies are subject
to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements and securities trading rules different from those applicable
to U.S. reporting companies. The prices of securities in non-U.S. markets may be affected by |

Principal at Risk Securities
political, economic, financial and social
factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws.
| § | The securities do not provide direct exposure to fluctuations
in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the yen with respect to the NKY Index. The NKY Index is composed of non-U.S. securities
denominated in yen. Because the level of the NKY Index is also calculated in yen (and not in U.S. dollars), the performance of the NKY
Index will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the yen. In addition, any payments on the securities
determined based in part on the performance of the NKY Index will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar
and the yen. Therefore, holders of the securities will not benefit from any appreciation of the yen relative to the U.S. dollar. |
Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest
| § | Hedging and trading activity by the issuer and its affiliates
could potentially adversely affect the value of the securities. Hedging or trading activities of the issuer’s affiliates and
of any other hedging counterparty with respect to the securities could adversely affect the values of the underliers and, as a result,
could decrease the amount an investor may receive on the securities at maturity, if any. Any of these hedging or trading activities on
or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial underlier values and, as a result, the coupon barrier levels, which
are the levels at or above which the respective underliers must close on each scheduled trading day during a determination period in order
for you to receive a contingent quarterly payment with respect to that determination period or, if the securities are not redeemed prior
to maturity, the downside threshold levels, which are the levels at or above which the respective underliers must close on the final determination
date in order for you to avoid being exposed to the negative performance of the worst performing underlier at maturity. Additionally,
such hedging or trading activities during the term of the securities could potentially affect the values of the underliers on any scheduled
trading day during the determination periods or on the final determination date and, accordingly, whether investors will receive one or
more contingent quarterly payments and, if the securities are not redeemed prior to maturity, the payment at maturity, if any. |
| § | We and our affiliates, and any dealer participating in
the distribution of the securities, may engage in various activities or make determinations that could materially affect your securities
in various ways and create conflicts of interest. We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of
the securities, as described below. In performing these roles, our and our affiliates’ economic interests are potentially adverse
to your interests as an investor in the securities. |
In connection with our normal business activities and in connection
with hedging our obligations under the securities, we and our affiliates make markets in and trade various financial instruments or products
for our accounts and for the account of our clients and otherwise provide investment banking and other financial services with respect
to these financial instruments and products. These financial instruments and products may include securities, derivative instruments or
assets that may relate to the underliers or their components. In any such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking
and other financial services, we or our affiliates may take positions or take actions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment
objectives of the holders of the securities. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder
of the securities into account in conducting these activities. Such market making, trading and hedging activity, investment banking and
other financial services may negatively impact the value of the securities.
In addition, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as
the agent for the securities, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the securities.
For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the securities
and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell the securities instead of other investments. Furthermore,
we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the securities for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based
upon any independent verification or valuation.
Furthermore, the selected dealer or its affiliates will have
the option to conduct a material portion of the hedging activities for us in connection with the securities. The selected dealer or its
affiliates would expect to realize a projected profit from such hedging activities, and this projected profit would be in addition to
any selling concession that the selected dealer realizes for the sale of the securities to you. This additional projected profit may create
a further incentive for the selected dealer to sell the securities to you.
In addition to the activities described above, we will also
act as the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, we will determine any values of the underliers and make any other
determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, we may be required to make discretionary
judgments, including determining whether a market disruption event has occurred on any date that the value of an underlier is to be determined;
if an underlier is discontinued or if the sponsor of an underlier fails to publish that underlier, selecting a successor index or, if
no successor index is available, determining any value necessary to calculate any payments on the securities; and calculating the value
of an underlier on any date of determination in the event of certain changes in or modifications to that underlier. In making these discretionary
judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and any of these determinations
may adversely affect any payments on the securities.

Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Securities
and the Secondary Market
| § | The securities will not be listed on any securities exchange,
and secondary trading may be limited. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to offer to purchase
the securities in the secondary market but are not required to do so and may cease any such market making activities at any time, without
notice. Even if a secondary market develops, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the securities easily.
Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the securities, the price, if any, at which you may be able to trade
your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are
willing to buy the securities. In addition, Barclays Capital Inc. or one or more of our other affiliates may at any time hold an unsold
portion of the securities (as described on the cover page of this document), which may inhibit the development of a secondary market for
the securities. The securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold
your securities to maturity. |
| § | The market price of the securities will be influenced
by many unpredictable factors. Several factors will influence the value of the securities in the secondary market and the price at
which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC may be willing to purchase or sell the securities in the secondary
market. Although we expect that generally the values of the underliers on any day will affect the value of the securities more than any
other single factor, other factors that may influence the value of the securities include: |
| o | the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of each underlier; |
| o | whether the closing level of any underlier has been, or is expected to be, below its coupon barrier level on any scheduled trading
day during any determination period and whether the final underlier value of any underlier is expected to be below its downside threshold
level; |
| o | correlation (or lack of correlation) of the underliers; |
| o | dividend rates on the securities composing the underliers; |
| o | interest and yield rates in the market; |
| o | time remaining until the securities mature; |
| o | supply and demand for the securities; |
| o | geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events that affect the securities composing the
underliers and that may affect the final underlier values; |
| o | the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar relative to the yen; and |
| o | any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads. |
The values of the underliers may be, and have recently been,
volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See “Nikkei 225 Index Overview,” “Russell
2000® Index Overview” and “S&P 500® Index Overview” below. You may receive less, and
possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount if you try to sell your securities prior to maturity.
| § | The estimated value of your securities is expected to
be lower than the initial issue price of your securities. The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to
be lower, and may be significantly lower, than the initial issue price of your securities. The difference between the initial issue price
of your securities and the estimated value of the securities is expected as a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions
expected to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected
to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection
with structuring the securities, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the securities, and estimated development
and other costs that we may incur in connection with the securities. These other costs will include a fee paid to LFT Securities, LLC,
an entity in which an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management has an ownership interest, for providing certain electronic platform
services with respect to this offering. |
| § | The estimated value of your securities might be lower
if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market. The estimated value of
your securities on the pricing date is based on a number of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates
may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated
values referenced above might be lower if such estimated values were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade
in the secondary market. |
| § | The estimated value of the securities is based on our
internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number
of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are
not evaluated or verified on an independent basis. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’
pricing models and the |
Contingent Income Callable Securities due August 12, 2027
Based on the Value of the Worst Performing of the Nikkei 225 Index, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index
Principal at Risk Securities
methodologies used by us to estimate
the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of securities
in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities may be materially different from the estimated value
of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models.
| § | The estimated value of your securities is not a prediction
of the prices at which you may sell your securities in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely
be lower than the initial issue price of your securities and may be lower than the estimated value of your securities. The estimated
value of the securities will not be a prediction of the prices at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties
may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not
obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the secondary market at any time will be influenced by
many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially
less than our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels at
which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related to the securities such
as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities
will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your securities. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates
of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be lower
than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you. |
| § | The temporary price at which we may initially buy the
securities in the secondary market and the value we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account
statements at all, may not be indicative of future prices of your securities. Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after
the pricing date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if Barclays
Capital Inc. makes a market in the securities, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that we may initially use for customer account
statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value of the securities on the pricing date,
as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the securities. The price
at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market and the value that we may initially use
for customer account statements may not be indicative of future prices of your securities. |

Nikkei 225 Index Overview
The NKY Index is a stock index that measures the composite price performance
of 225 of the most actively traded stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (the “Nikkei Underlying Stocks”), representing a broad
cross-section of Japanese industries. For more information about the NKY Index, see “Indices—The Nikkei 225 Index” in
the accompanying underlying supplement, as supplemented by the following updated information.
Effective October 2022, if the weight of any Nikkei Underlying Stock
exceeds a certain threshold (the “weight cap threshold”) on the base date of a periodic review, a capping ratio will be applied
to decrease the weight of that Nikkei Underlying Stock. The weight cap threshold for any Nikkei Underlying Stock is (i) 12% as of the
October 2022 periodic review, (ii) 11% as of the October 2023 periodic review and (iii) 10% as of the October 2024 periodic review. For
any Nikkei Underlying Stock to which a capping ratio is applied, the price of that Nikkei Underlying Stock is adjusted by a capped price
adjustment factor (“CPAF”) equal to (i) the capping ratio multiplied by (ii) the PAF (as defined under “Indices—The
Nikkei 225 Index—Calculation of the Nikkei 225 Index” in the accompanying underlying supplement).
If, on the base date of a periodic review, the weight of any Nikkei
Underlying Stock exceeds the weight cap threshold and a capping ratio does not already apply to that Nikkei Underlying Stock, a capping
ratio of 0.9 is applied on the effective date of the periodic review. If a capping ratio already applies to any Nikkei Underlying Stock,
the capping ratio will be decreased in increments of 0.1 on the effective date of the periodic review until there is a change in the CPAF.
If, on the base date of a periodic change, the weight of a Nikkei Underlying Stock to which a capping ratio is applied is below 5%, the
capping ratio will be increased in increments of 0.1 on the effective date of the periodic review until there is a change in the CPAF;
however, the capping ratio will be canceled if it increases to 1.0. When a Nikkei Underlying Stock to which a capping ratio is applied
effects a large-scale stock split or reverse split and the PAF is adjusted by the ratio of the split or reverse split, the capping ratio
may be revised as necessary to ensure that the new CPAF does not change the weight of that Nikkei Underlying Stock.
In addition, as of October 2022, the Nikkei Underlying Stocks are reviewed
semiannually with base dates at the end of January and July, and results of each review are applied on the first trading day in April
and October, respectively.

| Tax considerations: |
You should review carefully the sections in the accompanying prospectus
supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as
Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax
Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders.” The following discussion supersedes the discussion in the accompanying prospectus supplement
to the extent it is inconsistent therewith.
In determining our reporting responsibilities, if any, we intend to
treat (i) the securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii)
any contingent quarterly payments as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward or Derivative Contracts with Associated Contingent Coupons”
in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, has advised that it believes this treatment
to be reasonable, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court
may adopt.
Sale, exchange or redemption of a security. Assuming the treatment
described above is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the securities (including upon early redemption or redemption at maturity), you
should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your tax basis in
the securities, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the securities (assuming contingent quarterly payments are properly
treated as ordinary income, consistent with the position referred to above). This gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss
unless you hold the securities for more than one year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss, whether
or not you are an initial purchaser of the securities at the issue price. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
If you sell your securities between the time your right to a contingent quarterly payment is fixed and the time it is paid, it is likely
that you will be treated as receiving ordinary income equal to the contingent quarterly payment. Although uncertain, it is possible that
proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your securities prior to a determination period-end date but that can be attributed to
an expected contingent quarterly payment could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this issue.
As noted above, there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or
a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the securities could be materially affected. In addition,
in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid
forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments
to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of
income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the
instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations
or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the
securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of
an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
Non-U.S. holders. Insofar as we have responsibility as a withholding
agent, we do not currently intend to treat contingent quarterly payments to non-U.S. holders (as defined in the accompanying prospectus
supplement) as subject to U.S. withholding tax. However, non-U.S. holders should in any event expect to be required to provide appropriate
Forms W-8 or other documentation in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding, as described under the heading “—Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. If any withholding is required, we will not be required
to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
Treasury regulations under Section 871(m) generally impose a withholding
tax on certain “dividend equivalents” under certain “equity linked instruments.” A recent IRS notice excludes
from the scope of Section 871(m) instruments issued prior to January 1, 2027 that do not have a “delta of one” with respect
to underlying securities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (each an “Underlying Security”).
Based on our determination that the securities do not

have a “delta of one” within the meaning of the regulations, we expect that these regulations will not apply to the securities with regard to non-U.S. holders. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an Underlying Security. If necessary, further information regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) will be provided in the pricing supplement for the securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities. |

| Use of proceeds and hedging: |
The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the
securities will be used for various corporate purposes as set forth in the prospectus and prospectus supplement and, in part, in
connection with hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more of our subsidiaries.
We, through our subsidiaries or others, hedge our
anticipated exposure in connection with the securities by taking positions in futures and options contracts on the underliers and any
other securities or instruments we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Trading and other transactions by us or our affiliates
could affect the values of the underliers, the market value of the securities or any amounts payable on the securities. For further
information on our use of proceeds and hedging, see “Use of Proceeds and Hedging” in the prospectus supplement.

This document represents a summary of the terms and conditions of
the securities. We encourage you to read the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and underlying supplement for this offering,
which can be accessed via the hyperlinks on the cover page of this document.
Supplemental Plan of Distribution
Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“Morgan Stanley Wealth Management”)
and its financial advisors will collectively receive from the agent, Barclays Capital Inc., a fixed sales commission for each security
they sell, and Morgan Stanley Wealth Management will receive a structuring fee for each security, in each case as specified on the cover
page of this document.
We expect that delivery of the securities will be made against payment
for the securities on the original issue date, which is more than one business day following the pricing date. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the accompanying prospectus supplement, under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, effective
May 28, 2024, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade
expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the securities on any date prior to one business day before delivery
will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.
