Effect of a Benchmark Transition
Event :
If the Issuer determines on or
prior to the relevant Reference
Time that a Benchmark Transition
Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred
with respect to the then-current
Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement
will replace the then-current Benchmark
for all purposes relating to the
Notes in respect of all determinations
on such date and for all determinations
on all subsequent dates.
In connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement, the
Issuer will have the right to make
Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes from time to time.
Any determination, decision or
election that may be made by the
Issuer pursuant to this section,
including any determination with
respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment
or of the occurrence or non-occurrence
of an event, circumstance or date
and any decision to take or refrain
from taking any action or any selection:
(1) will be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error;
(2) will be made in the sole discretion
of the Issuer; and
(3) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the documentation
relating to the Notes described
herein, shall become effective
without consent from the holders
of the Notes or any other party.
"Benchmark" means, initially, SOFR
Index; provided that if the Issuer
determines on or prior to the Reference
Time that a Benchmark Transition
Event and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred
with respect to SOFR Index (or
the published daily SOFR used in
the calculation thereof) then "Benchmark"
means the applicable Benchmark
Replacement for the SOFR Index;
and provided further that if the
Issuer determines on or prior to
the Reference Time that a Benchmark
Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have
occurred with respect to the then-current
Benchmark (or the daily published
component used in the calculation
thereof), then "Benchmark" means
the applicable Benchmark Replacement
for the then-current Benchmark.
"Benchmark Replacement" means the
first alternative set forth in
the order below that can be determined
by the Issuer as of the Benchmark
Replacement Date.
(1) the sum of: (a) the alternate
rate of interest that has been
selected or recommended by the
Relevant Governmental Body as the
replacement for the then-current
Benchmark and (b) the Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment;
(2) the sum of: (a) the ISDA Fallback
Rate and (b) the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment; or
(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate
rate of interest that has been
selected by the Issuer as the replacement
for the then-current Benchmark
giving due consideration to any
industry-accepted rate of interest
as a replacement for the then-current
Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated
floating rate notes at such time
and (b) the Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment;
Provided that, if a Benchmark Replacement
Date has occurred with regard to
the daily published component used
in the calculation of a Benchmark,
but not with regard to the Benchmark
itself, "Benchmark Replacement"
means the references to the alternatives
determined in accordance with clauses
(1), (2) or (3) above for such
daily published components.
"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment"
means the first alternative set
forth in the order below that can
be determined by the Issuer as
of the Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) the spread adjustment, or method
for calculating or determining
such spread adjustment, (which
may be a positive or negative value
or zero) that has been selected
or recommended by the Relevant
Governmental Body for the applicable
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement;
(2) if the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement is equivalent
to the ISDA Fallback Rate, the
ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or
(3) the spread adjustment (which
may be a positive or negative value
or zero) that has been selected
by the Issuer giving due consideration
to any industry-accepted spread
adjustment, or method for calculating
or determining such spread adjustment,
for the replacement of the then-current
Benchmark (or the daily published
component used in the calculation
thereof) with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement for U.S.
dollar-denominated floating rate
notes at such time.
"Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes" means, with respect to
any Benchmark Replacement, any
technical, administrative or operational
changes (including changes to the
timing and frequency of determining
rates and making payments of interest,
rounding of amounts or tenors,
and other administrative matters)
that the Issuer decides may be
appropriate to reflect the adoption
of such Benchmark Replacement in
a manner substantially consistent
with market practice (or, if the
Issuer decides that adoption of
any portion of such market practice
is not administratively feasible
or if the Issuer determines that
no market practice for use of the
Benchmark Replacement exists, in
such other manner as the Issuer
determines is reasonably necessary);
provided that, for the avoidance
of doubt, if a Benchmark Replacement
Date has occurred with regard to
the daily published component used
in the calculation of a Benchmark,
but not with regard to the Benchmark
itself, "Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes" shall also
mean that the Issuer may calculate
the Benchmark Replacement for such
Benchmark in accordance with the
formula for and method of calculating
such Benchmark last in effect prior
to Benchmark Replacement Date affecting
such component, substituting the
affected component with the relevant
Benchmark Replacement for such
component.
"Benchmark Replacement Date" means
the earliest to occur of the following
events with respect to the then-current
Benchmark (or the daily published
component used in the calculation
thereof):

(2) of the definition of "Benchmark
Transition Event," the later of
(a) the date of the public statement
or publication of information referenced
therein and (b) the date on which
the administrator of the Benchmark
permanently or indefinitely ceases
to provide the Benchmark (or such
component); or
(2) in the case of clause (3) of
the definition of "Benchmark Transition
Event," the later of (x) the date
of the public statement or publication
of information referenced therein
and (y) the first date on which
such Benchmark (or such component)
is no longer representative per
such statement or publication.
For the avoidance of doubt, if
the event that gives rise to the
Benchmark Replacement Date occurs
on the same day as, but earlier
than, the Reference Time in respect
of any determination, the Benchmark
Replacement Date will be deemed
to have occurred prior to the Reference
Time for such determination.
"Benchmark Transition Event" means
the occurrence of one or more of
the following events with respect
to the then-current Benchmark (or
the daily published component used
in the calculation thereof):
(1) a public statement or publication
of information by or on behalf
of the administrator of the Benchmark
(or such component) announcing
that such administrator has ceased
or will cease to provide the Benchmark
(or such component), permanently
or indefinitely, provided that,
at the time of such statement or
publication, there is no successor
administrator that will continue
to provide the Benchmark (or such
component); or
(2) a public statement or publication
of information by the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator
of the Benchmark (or such component),

insolvency or resolution authority

(or such component) has ceased
or will cease to provide the Benchmark
(or such component) permanently
or indefinitely, provided that,
at the time of such statement or
publication, there is no successor
administrator that will continue
to provide the Benchmark (or such
component); or
(3) a public statement or publication
of information by the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator
of the Benchmark announcing (A)
that such Benchmark (or its component)
is no longer, or as of a specified
future date will no longer be,
capable of being representative,
or is non-representative, of the
underlying market and economic
reality that such Benchmark (or
its component) is intended to measure
as required by applicable law or
regulation and as determined by
the regulatory supervisor in accordance
with applicable law or regulation
and (B) that the intention of that
statement or publication is to
engage contractual triggers for
fallbacks activated by pre-cessation
announcements by such supervisor
(howsoever described) in contracts.

ISDA Definitions published by the

"ISDA Fallback Adjustment" means
the spread adjustment (which may
be a positive or negative value

Definitions to be determined upon
the occurrence of an index cessation
event with respect to the Benchmark

used in the calculation thereof).
"ISDA Fallback Rate" means the
rate that would apply for derivatives
transactions referencing the ISDA

General Information
Additional Information Regarding the Notes
1. Matters relating to UK MiFIR
The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK
MiFIR regime. Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an
"investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes
of UK MiFIR.
UK MiFIR product governance / Retail investors, professional
investors and ECPs target market - Solely for the purposes of the
UK manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that:
(i) the target market for the Notes is retail clients, as defined
in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it
forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, eligible
counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients, as
defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the
Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the UK manufacturer's target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance
Rules is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining
the UK manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining
appropriate distribution channels.
For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK
manufacturer" means Barclays Bank PLC, (ii) the expression "COBS"
means the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook, (iii) the
expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms
part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv) the
expression "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA
Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance
Sourcebook.
2. Supplemental Prospectus Information
The Prospectus is hereby supplemented with the following
information, which shall be deemed to be incorporated in, and to
form part of, the Prospectus.
The Prospectus and this Pricing Supplement do not describe all
of the risks and other ramifications of an investment in the Notes.
An investment in the Notes entails risks not associated with an
investment in a conventional fixed rate or floating rate debt
security. Investors should consult their own financial and legal
advisors about the risks associated with an investment in the Notes
and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their
particular circumstances, and possible scenarios for economic,
interest rate and other factors that may affect their investment
.
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate is a Relatively New
Reference Rate and its Composition and Characteristics are Not the
Same as LIBOR.
On June 22, 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee
("ARRC") convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York identified the
Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the rate that, in the
consensus view of the ARRC, represented best practice for use in
certain new U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts.
SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight
collateralized by U.S. treasury securities, and has been published
by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since April 2018. The
Federal Reserve Bank of New York has also begun publishing
historical indicative SOFR from 2014. Investors should not rely on
any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of future
changes in SOFR.
The composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as
those of LIBOR, and SOFR is fundamentally different from LIBOR for
two key reasons. First, SOFR is a secured rate, while LIBOR is an
unsecured rate. Second, SOFR is an overnight rate, while LIBOR is a
forward-looking rate that represents interbank funding over
different maturities (e.g., three months). As a result, there can
be no assurance that SOFR (including Compounded SOFR) will perform
in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time, including, without
limitation, as a result of changes in interest and yield rates in
the market, market volatility or global or regional economic,
financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events.
SOFR May be More Volatile Than Other Benchmark or Market
Rates.
Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in SOFR
have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in other
benchmark or market rates, such as USD LIBOR. Although changes in
Compounded SOFR generally are not expected to be as volatile as
changes in daily levels of SOFR, the return on and value of the
Notes may fluctuate more than floating rate securities that are
linked to less volatile rates. In addition, the volatility of SOFR
has reflected the underlying volatility of the overnight U.S.
Treasury repo market. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has at
times conducted operations in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo
market in order to help maintain the federal funds rate within a
target range. There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York will continue to conduct such operations in the
future, and the duration and extent of any such operations is
inherently uncertain. The effect of any such operations, or of the
cessation of such operations to the extent they are commenced, is
uncertain and could be materially adverse to investors in the
Notes.
Any Failure of SOFR to Gain Market Acceptance Could Adversely
Affect the Notes.
According to the ARRC, SOFR was developed for use in certain
U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an
alternative to USD LIBOR in part because it is considered a good
representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S.
Treasury repurchase agreement market. However, as a rate based on
transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not
measure bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely
to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks.
This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR a
suitable replacement or successor for all of the purposes for which
USD LIBOR historically has been used (including, without
limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding
costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen market acceptance of
SOFR. Any failure of SOFR to gain market acceptance could adversely
affect the return on and value of the Notes and the price at which
investors can sell the Notes in the secondary market.
In addition, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used as a
benchmark in securities that are similar or comparable to the
Notes, the trading price of the Notes may be lower than those of
securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used.
Similarly, market terms for floating-rate debt securities linked to
SOFR, such as the spread over the base rate reflected in interest
rate provisions or the manner of compounding the base rate, may
evolve over time, and trading prices of the Notes may be lower than
those of later-issued SOFR-based debt securities as a result.
Investors in the Notes may not be able to sell the Notes at all or
may not be able to sell the Notes at prices that will provide them
with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a
developed secondary market, and may consequently suffer from
increased pricing volatility and market risk.
The Rate of Interest on the Notes is Based on a Compounded SOFR
Rate and the SOFR Index, which is Relatively New in the
Marketplace.
For each Interest Period, the Rate of Interest on the Notes is
based on Compounded SOFR, which is calculated using the SOFR Index
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York according to the
specific formula described in paragraph 13 under "Terms and
Conditions" above (the "Floating Rate Note Provisions"), not the
SOFR rate published on or in respect of a particular date during
such Interest Period or an arithmetic average of SOFR rates during
such period. For this and other reasons, the Rate of Interest on
the Notes during any Interest Period will not necessarily be the
same as the Rate of Interest on other SOFR-linked investments that
use an alternative basis to determine the applicable interest rate.
Further, if the SOFR rate in respect of a particular date during an
Interest Period is negative, its contribution to the SOFR Index
will be less than one, resulting in a reduction to Compounded SOFR
used to calculate the interest payable on the Notes on the Interest
Payment Date for such Interest Period.
Very limited market precedent exists for securities that use
SOFR as the interest rate and the method for calculating an
interest rate based upon SOFR in those precedents varies. In
addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York only began
publishing the SOFR Index on March 2, 2020. Accordingly, the use of
the SOFR Index or the specific formula for the Compounded SOFR rate
used in the Notes may not be widely adopted by other market
participants, if at all. If the market adopts a different
calculation method, that would likely adversely affect the market
value of the Notes.
Compounded SOFR with Respect to a Particular Interest Period
Will Only be Capable of Being Determined Near the End of the
Relevant Interest Period.
The level of Compounded SOFR applicable to a particular Interest
Period and, therefore, the amount of interest payable with respect
to such Interest Period will be determined on the Interest
Determination Date for such Interest Period. Because each such date
is near the end of such Interest Period, you will not know the
amount of interest payable with respect to a particular Interest
Period until shortly prior to the related Interest Payment Date and
it may be difficult for you to reliably estimate the amount of
interest that will be payable on each such Interest Payment Date.
In addition, some investors may be unwilling or unable to trade the
Notes without changes to their information technology systems, both
of which could adversely impact the liquidity and trading price of
the Notes.
The SOFR Index May be Modified or Discontinued and the Notes May
Bear Interest by Reference to a Rate Other than Compounded SOFR,
which Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Notes.
The SOFR Index is published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York based on data received by it from sources other than the
Issuer, and the Issuer has no control over its methods of
calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or
availability of the SOFR Index at any time. There can be no
guarantee, particularly given its relatively recent introduction,
that the SOFR Index will not be discontinued or fundamentally
altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of
investors in the Notes. If the manner in which the SOFR Index is
calculated, including the manner in which SOFR is calculated, is
changed, that change may result in a reduction in the amount of
interest payable on the Notes and the trading prices of the Notes.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York may withdraw,
modify or amend the published SOFR Index or SOFR data in its sole
discretion and without notice. The Rate of Interest for any
Interest Period will not be adjusted for any modifications or
amendments to the SOFR Index or SOFR data that the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York may publish after the Rate of Interest for that
Interest Period has been determined.
If the Issuer determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and
its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred in respect of
the SOFR Index or SOFR itself, then the Rate of Interest on the
Notes will no longer be determined by reference to the SOFR Index,
but instead will be determined by reference to a different rate,
plus a spread adjustment, which we refer to as a "Benchmark
Replacement," as further described in the Floating Rate Note
Provisions.
If a particular Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark
Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These
replacement rates and adjustments may be selected, recommended or
formulated by (i) the Relevant Governmental Body (such as the
ARRC), (ii) the International Swaps and Derivatives Association
("ISDA") or (iii) in certain circumstances, the Issuer itself. In
addition, the terms of the Notes expressly authorize the Issuer to
make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with respect to,
among other things, changes to the definition of "Interest Period",
the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments
of interest and other administrative matters. The determination of
a Benchmark Replacement, the calculation of the Rate of Interest on
the Notes by reference to a Benchmark Replacement (including the
application of a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment), any
implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and any
other determinations, decisions or elections that may be made under
the terms of the Notes in connection with a Benchmark Transition
Event, could adversely affect the value of the Notes, the return on
the Notes and the price at which you can sell such Notes.
In addition, (i) the composition and characteristics of the
Benchmark Replacement will not be the same as those of Compounded
SOFR, the Benchmark Replacement may not be the economic equivalent
of Compounded SOFR, there can be no assurance that the Benchmark
Replacement will perform in the same way as Compounded SOFR would
have at any time and there is no guarantee that the Benchmark
Replacement will be a comparable substitute for Compounded SOFR
(each of which means that a Benchmark Transition Event could
adversely affect the value of the Notes, the return on the Notes
and the price at which you can sell the Notes), (ii) any failure of
the Benchmark Replacement to gain market acceptance could adversely
affect the Notes, (iii) the Benchmark Replacement may have a very
limited history and the future performance of the Benchmark
Replacement may not be predicted based on historical performance,
(iv) the secondary trading market for Notes linked to the Benchmark
Replacement may be limited and (v) the administrator of the
Benchmark Replacement may make changes that could change the value
of the Benchmark Replacement or discontinue the Benchmark
Replacement and has no obligation to consider your interests in
doing so.
The Calculation Agent Will Make Determinations with respect to
the Notes, and the Issuer May Exercise Subjective Discretion with
respect to Compounded SOFR or Replacements Thereof.
The Calculation Agent will make certain determinations with
respect to the Notes as further described under the Floating Rate
Note Provisions, some of which determinations are in the
Calculation Agent's sole discretion. Any determination, decision or
election pursuant to the benchmark replacement provisions will be
made by the Issuer. Any of these determinations may adversely
affect the value of the Notes, the return on the Notes and the
price at which you can sell such Notes. Moreover, certain
determinations to be made by the Issuer may require the exercise of
discretion and the making of subjective judgments, such as with
respect to Compounded SOFR or the occurrence or non-occurrence of a
Benchmark Transition Event and any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes. These potentially subjective determinations may adversely
affect the value of the Notes, the return on the Notes and the
price at which you can sell such Notes .
