(the "Notes")

   1.         Proposed changes to the structure of the Barclays Group due to ring-fencing 

1.1 The "Ring-fencing" of day-to-day banking services is one of the reforms brought in by the UK government, aiming to strengthen the UK financial system, following the financial crisis that began in 2008.

1.2 Barclays intends to satisfy this requirement by setting up a ring-fenced bank, Barclays Bank UK PLC, which will be separate from Barclays Bank PLC. The two entities will operate alongside, but independently from, one another as part of the Barclays Group under Barclays PLC.

   2.         PROPOSED SUBSTITUTION OF BARCLAYS BANK PLC as a transaction COUNTERparty 

It is intended that Barclays Bank PLC will be substituted by Barclays Bank UK PLC as a transaction counterparty for certain of the roles currently undertaken by Barclays Bank PLC relating to the GCF Programme (including but not limited to transferor, transferor beneficiary, servicer, trust cash manager and MTN cash manager).

   3.         How will theSE changeS BE EFFECTED? 

Holders of Notes do not need to take any action for the changes described above to take place. Barclays is seeking approval from the Prudential Regulation Authority and the High Court of England and Wales (the "Court") to complete the restructuring, outlined above, using a legal process called a Ring-Fencing Transfer Scheme (the "Scheme") under Part VII of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. A hearing is scheduled in November 2017 for the Court to initiate the process to consider and approve the Scheme. Subject to approval, Barclays expects to implement the restructuring and fully establish the ring-fenced bank in April 2018, ahead of the 1 January 2019 legislative deadline for implementation of ring-fencing.

   4.         Ways to make sure your views are considered at Court
