BARCLAYS BANK
PLC
Notice to holders of GBP
4,100,000 Securities due October 2028 pursuant to the Global
Structured Securities Programme Preference Share Linked Base
Prospectus dated 12 April 2024 (the "Base
Prospectus")
Series: NX00428260 | ISIN:
XS2881258722
under the Global Structured
Securities Programme
This notice relates to the original
final terms for ISIN XS2881258722 dated 31 October 2024 (the
"Original Final Terms"),
which are being replaced by the amended and restated final terms
dated 21 November 2024 (the "Amended and Restated Final Terms") and
to the Original Preference Share
Confirmation which is annexed to the Original Final Terms (the
"Original Preference Share
Confirmation") dated 30 October 2024 which is being replaced
by the amended and restated Preference Share Confirmation (the
"Amended and Restated Preference
Share Confirmation") dated 21 November
2024.
The amendments to the Original Final
Terms and the Original Preference Share Confirmation have each been
carried out unilaterally pursuant to the terms and conditions
governing the Securities and the underlying Preference Shares, on
the basis that the amendments correct manifest and proven errors in
the respective original documentation. The amendments shall be
deemed to be effective from the respective issue dates of the
Securities and the underlying Preference Shares.
1. On page 4
of the summary to the Original Final Terms, in the section titled
"Final redemption in respect of
the Securities" under sub-section titled "Value of the Underlying Prefernce
Share", the following definitions of "Tigger Event has not occurred" and
"Trigger Event has
occurred" have been amended to replace the word "any" with
the word "every" in two places (with emphasis added by
underlining):
Value of the Underlying Preference
Share
The value of the Underlying
Preference Share will be calculated in accordance with the
following:
If:
a 'Trigger Event' has not
occurred:
Value of the Underlying Preference
Share = the Calculation Amount (being GBP 100.00) multiplied by the
sum of (a) the ordinal number of the last valuation date in
relation to which the fixed return condition is satisfied during
the observation period ending on such valuation date multiplied by
the Fixed Return Percentage and (b) 100%. The fixed return
condition is satisfied if, in respect of a Fixed Return Observation
Period ending on a Fixed Return Valuation Date, the closing price
or level of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share
Reference Asset is equal to or greater than the Fixed Return
Barrier on every observation date during
such Fixed Return Observation Period ending on such Fixed Return
Valuation Date.
If:
a 'Trigger Event' has
occurred:
Value of the Underlying Preference
Share = the Calculation Amount (being GBP 100.00) multiplied by the
sum of (a) the ordinal number of the last valuation date in
relation to which the fixed return condition is satisfied during
the observation period ending on such valuation date multiplied by
the Fixed Return Percentage and (b) the Final Performance divided
by the Strike Price Percentage (being 100.000%). The fixed return
condition is satisfied if, in respect of a Fixed Return Observation
Period ending on a Fixed Return Valuation Date, the closing price
or level of the Worst Performing Underlying Preference Share
Reference Asset is equal to or greater than the Fixed Return
Barrier on every observation date during
such Fixed Return Observation Period ending on such Fixed Return
Valuation Date.
2. In Part A
of the Original Preference Share Confirmation, paragraph 9(a)
(Redemption Valuation

following:

Amended and Restated Final
Terms
PROHIBITION OF
SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS - The Securities
are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available
to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to,
any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail
client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive
2014/65/EU (as amended, the "MiFID
II"); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU)
2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a
professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of the
MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the "EU Prospectus Regulation").
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation
(EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "EU PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or
selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any
retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs
Regulation.
PROHIBITION OF
SALES TO SWISS RETAIL INVESTORS: The Securities
are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
and may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any
retail investor in Switzerland. For these purposes a "retail
investor" means a person who is not a professional or institutional
client, as defined in article 4 para. 3, 4 and 5 and article 5
para. 1 and 2 Swiss Federal Act on Financial Services
("FinSA") of 15 June 2018,
as amended. Consequently, no key information document required by
FinSA for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making
them available to retail investors in Switzerland has been prepared
and therefore, offering or selling the Securities or making them
available to retail investors in Switzerland may be unlawful under
FinSA.
None of the Securities constitute a
participation in a collective investment scheme within the meaning
of the Swiss Act on Collective Investment Schemes ("CISA") and are neither subject to the
authorisation nor the supervision by the Swiss Financial Market
Supervisory Authority FINMA ("FINMA") and investors do not benefit
from the specific investor protection provided under the CISA. The
Securities may not be publicly offered, directly or indirectly, in
Switzerland within the meaning of FinSA and no application has or
will be made to admit the Securities to trading on any trading
venue (exchange or multilateral trading facility) in Switzerland.
Neither the Base Prospectus, the Final Terms nor any other offering
or marketing material relating to the Securities constitutes a
prospectus pursuant to the FinSA, and neither the Base Prospectus,
the Final Terms nor any other offering or marketing material
relating to the Securities may be publicly distributed or otherwise
made publicly available in Switzerland.
Neither the Base Prospectus nor these Final
Terms or any other offering or marketing material relating to the
Securities constitute a prospectus pursuant to the Swiss Financial
Services Act ("FinSA"), and
such documents may not be publicly distributed or otherwise made
publicly available in Switzerland, unless the requirements of FinSA
for such public distribution are complied with.
The Securities documented in these Final Terms
are not being offered, sold or advertised, directly or indirectly,
in Switzerland to retail clients (Privatkundinnen und -kunden) within
the meaning of FinSA ("Retail
Clients"). Neither these Final Terms nor any offering
materials relating to the Securities may be available to Retail
Clients in or from Switzerland. The offering of the Securities
directly or indirectly, in Switzerland is only made by way of
private placement by addressing the Securities (a) solely at
investors classified as professional clients (professionelle Kunden) or
institutional clients (institutionelle Kunden) within the
meaning of FinSA ("Professional or
Institutional Clients"), (b) at fewer than 500 Retail
Clients, and/or (c) at investors acquiring securities to the value
of at least CHF 100,000.
The Securities have not been, and will not be,
at any time registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities
Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of any
state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The Securities
may not be offered or sold within the United States, or to, or for
the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S
under the Securities Act ("Regulation S")) ("U.S. persons"), except in certain
transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Trading in the
Securities has not been approved by the U.S. Commodity Futures
Trading Commission under the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act of 1936,
as amended (the "Commodity
Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder. The Securities are being offered and sold outside the
United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation
S.
