Buffered PLUS Based on the Performance of a Basket of Ten Equity Securities due October 14, 2027

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

Unlike conventional debt securities, the Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup> (the "Buffered PLUS") will pay no interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of the stated principal amount. If the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value, at maturity investors will receive the stated principal amount plus the leveraged upside performance of the basket, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. If the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value but greater than or equal to the buffer value, which is equal to 90% of the initial basket value, at maturity investors will receive the stated principal amount. However, if the final basket value is less than the buffer value, at maturity investors will lose 1% of the stated principal amount for every 1% that the final basket value is less than the initial basket value in excess of the specified buffer amount, subject to the minimum payment at maturity of 10% of the stated principal amount. **Investors may lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS** **.** The initial basket value is 100 and the final basket value will be based on the equally weighted returns of the basket components from their respective closing prices on the pricing date to their respective closing prices on the valuation date. The Buffered PLUS are for investors who seek exposure to the basket and who are willing and able to risk a significant portion of their principal and forgo current income and upside above the maximum payment at maturity in exchange for the leverage and buffer features, which, in each case, apply to a limited range of performance of the basket. **The Buffered PLUS are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Barclays Bank PLC. Any payment on the Buffered PLUS, 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 Buffered PLUS. See "Risk Factors" and "Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power" in this document and "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.**

**Investing in the Buffered PLUS involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities.

Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Buffered PLUS

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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS on the pricing date is expected to be less than the initial issue price of the Buffered PLUS. The difference between the initial issue price of the Buffered PLUS and our estimated value of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the Buffered PLUS. 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 Buffered PLUS may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS and other costs in connection with the Buffered PLUS that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Buffered PLUS. 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 Buffered PLUS and/or any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Buffered PLUS. 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 Buffered PLUS based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

**We urge you to read "Risk Factors" beginning on page 16 of this document.**

**You may revoke your offer to purchase the Buffered PLUS at any time prior to the pricing date. We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Buffered PLUS prior to their pricing date. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Buffered PLUS, 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 Buffered PLUS or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between us and any holder or beneficial owner of the Buffered PLUS (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Buffered PLUS), by acquiring the Buffered PLUS, each holder or beneficial owner o** **f the Buffered PLUS 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, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Buffered PLUS; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, or any other amounts payable on, the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS of such shares, securities or obligations); (iii) the cancellation of the Buffered PLUS and/or (iv) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Buffered PLUS, or the amendment of the amount of interest or any other amounts due on the Buffered PLUS, 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the holders or beneficial owners of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Issuer—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" 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.**

**Investment Summary**

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

The Buffered PLUS Based on the Performance of a Basket of Ten Equity Securities due October 14, 2027 (the "Buffered PLUS") can be used:

▪ As an alternative to direct exposure to the basket components that enhances returns for a certain range
of positive performance of the basket, based on the equally weighted returns of the basket components from their respective initial component
values to their respective final component values

▪ To enhance returns and potentially outperform the basket in a moderately bullish scenario

▪ To achieve similar levels of upside exposure to the basket as a direct investment, subject to the maximum
payment at maturity, while using fewer dollars by taking advantage of the leverage factor

▪ To provide a buffer against a specified level of negative performance in the basket

If the final basket value is less than the buffer value, at maturity investors will lose 1% of the stated principal amount of their investment for every 1% that the final basket value is less than the initial basket value in excess of the specified buffer amount, subject to the minimum payment at maturity of 10% of the stated principal amount.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Maturity:** | Approximately 1.5 years |
| **Leverage factor:** | 150% |
| **Maximum payment at maturity:** | At least $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS (at least 135.90% of the stated principal amount). The actual maximum payment at maturity will be determined on the pricing date. |
| **Buffer amount:** | 10% |
| **Buffer value:** | 90% of the initial basket value |
| **Minimum payment at maturity:** | $100.00 per Buffered PLUS. Investors may lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS. |
| **Basket component weighting:** | 10.00% for each basket component |
| **Interest:** |  |

Buffered PLUS Based on the Performance of a Basket of Ten Equity Securities due October 14, 2027

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

Key Investment Rationale

**Investors may lose up to 90% of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS.** The Buffered PLUS are for investors who seek exposure to the basket and who are willing and able to risk a significant portion of their principal and forgo current income and upside above the maximum payment at maturity in exchange for the leverage and buffer features, which, in each case, apply to a limited range of performance of the basket.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Leveraged Performance** | The Buffered PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns for a certain range of positive performance of the basket relative to a direct investment in the basket. |
| **Buffer Feature** | At maturity, even if the value of the basket has declined over the term of the Buffered PLUS, investors will receive their stated principal amount, but only if the final basket value is greater than or equal to the buffer value. |
| **Upside Scenario** | The final basket value is greater than the initial basket value. In this case, at maturity, the Buffered PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $1,000 *plus* a return equal to 150% of the basket return, subject to the maximum payment at maturity of at least $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS (at least 135.90% of the stated principal amount). The actual maximum payment at maturity will be determined on the pricing date. |
| **Par Scenario** | The final basket value is less than or equal to the basket value but greater than or equal to the buffer value. In this case, at maturity, the Buffered PLUS pay the stated principal amount of $1,000 per Buffered PLUS even though the value of the basket has declined. |
| **Downside Scenario** | The final basket value is less than the buffer value. In this case, at maturity, the Buffered PLUS pay less than the stated principal amount by an amount that is equal to the percentage decrease from the initial basket value to the final basket value in excess of the buffer amount of 10%. For example, if the final basket value is equal to 50% of the initial basket value, the Buffered PLUS will pay $600.00 per Buffered PLUS, or 60% of the stated principal amount, for a loss of 40% of the stated principal amount. The minimum payment at maturity is $100.00 per Buffered PLUS. |

Selected Purchase Considerations

The Buffered PLUS are not appropriate for all investors. The Buffered PLUS *may* be an appropriate investment for you if all of the following statements are true:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ You do not seek an investment that produces periodic interest
or coupon payments or other sources of current income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ You anticipate that the final basket value will be greater
than the initial basket value, and you are willing and able to accept the risk that, if the final basket value is less than the buffer
value, you will lose some, and may lose up to 90%, of the stated principal amount of the Buffered PLUS.

**Scenario Analysis**

▪ **Upside Scenario.** If the final basket value
is greater than the initial basket value, at maturity investors will receive the $1,000 stated principal amount *plus* 150% of the
appreciation of the basket from the initial basket value to the final basket value, subject to the maximum payment at maturity. Under
the hypothetical terms of the Buffered PLUS, investors will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a final basket value of approximately
123.933% of the initial basket value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ For example, if the basket appreciates by 3%, at maturity investors would receive a 4.50% return, or
$1,045.00 per Buffered PLUS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ If the basket appreciates by 50%, investors would receive only the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity
of $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS, or 135.90% of the stated principal amount.

April 2026 Page 9

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

▪ **Par Scenario.** If the final basket value
is less than or equal to the initial basket value but greater than or equal to the buffer value, at maturity investors will receive the
stated principal amount of $1,000 per Buffered PLUS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ For example, if the basket depreciates by 5%, at maturity investors would receive the $1,000 stated principal amount per Buffered
PLUS.

▪ **Downside Scenario.** If the final basket value
is less than the buffer value, at maturity investors will receive an amount that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount and that
will reflect a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline in the basket in excess of the buffer amount. Investors may lose up to 90% of
their initial investment in the Buffered PLUS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ For example, if the basket depreciates by 50%, investors would lose 40% of their principal and receive
only $600.00 per Buffered PLUS at maturity, or 60% of the stated principal amount.

**What Is the Total Return on the Buffered PLUS at Maturity, Assuming a Range of Performances for the Basket?**

The following table and examples illustrate the hypothetical payment at maturity and hypothetical total return at maturity on the Buffered PLUS. The "total return" as used in this document is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the payment at maturity per $1,000 stated principal amount to $1,000.00. The table and examples set forth below assume a hypothetical maximum payment at maturity of $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS (135.90% of the stated principal amount) and reflect the initial basket value of 100.00, the buffer value of 90.00 (or 90% of the initial basket value), the leverage factor of 150% and the buffer amount of 10%. The actual maximum payment at maturity will be determined on the pricing date. Each hypothetical payment at maturity or total return set forth below is for illustrative purposes only and may not be the actual payment at maturity or total return applicable to a purchaser of the Buffered PLUS. The numbers appearing in the following table and examples have been rounded for ease of analysis. The table and examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Buffered PLUS.

**Hypothetical Examples of Amount Payable at Maturity**

The following examples illustrate how the payment at maturity and total return in different hypothetical scenarios are calculated, and are based on the hypothetical initial component value of $100.00 for each basket component and the hypothetical maximum payment at maturity of $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS (135.90% of the stated principal amount). The hypothetical initial component value of $100.00 for each basket component has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and may not represent a likely actual initial component value for any basket component. Please see "Basket Overview" below for recent actual values of the basket components. The actual initial component values and maximum payment at maturity will be determined on the pricing date.

**Example 1: The value of the basket increases from the initial basket value of 100.00 to a final basket value of 150.00.**

| RTX Basket Component | $100.00 | $150.00 | 50.00% | 10.00% |

---

***Step 1: Calculate the final basket value based on the final component values and weightings for each basket component.***

The final basket value is calculated as follows:

100.00 × (1+ [(60.00% × 10.00%) + (40.00% × 10.00%) + (20.00% × 10.00%) + (80.00% ×10.00%) + (30.00% × 10.00%) + (50.00% × 10.00%) + (70.00% × 10.00%) + (90.00% × 10.00%) + (10.00% × 10.00%) + (50.00% × 10.00%)]) = 150.00

Therefore, the final basket value is 150.00.

***Step 2: Calculate the payment at maturity.***

Because the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value, the payment at maturity is calculated as follows:

the lesser of (a) $1,000 + leveraged upside payment and (b) maximum payment at maturity

= the lesser of (a) $1,000 + ($1,000 × leverage factor × basket return) and (b) $1,359.00

First, calculate the basket return:

basket return = (final basket value – initial basket value) / initial basket value = (150.00 – 100.00) / 100.00 = 50.00%

Next, calculate the leveraged upside payment:

leveraged upside payment = $1,000 × leverage factor × basket return = ($1,000 × 150% × 50.00%) = $750.00

Because $1,000 plus the leveraged upside payment of $750.00 is greater than the maximum payment at maturity, the payment at maturity is equal to the maximum payment at maturity of $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS, representing a total return of 35.90% on the Buffered PLUS.

| RTX Basket Component | $100.00 | $141.00 | 41.00% | 10.00% |

---

***Step 1: Calculate the final basket value based on the final component values and weightings for each basket component.***

The final basket value is calculated as follows:

100.00 × (1+ [(12.00% × 10.00%) + (2.00% × 10.00%) + (-14.00% × 10.00%) + (20.00% ×10.00%) +(5.00% × 10.00%) + (-22.00% × 10.00%) + (10.00% × 10.00%) + (2.00% × 10.00%) + (-6.00% × 10.00%) + (41.00% × 10.00%)]) = 105.00

Therefore, the final basket value is 105.00.

***Step 2: Calculate the payment at maturity.***

Because the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value, the payment at maturity is calculated as follows:

the lesser of (a) $1,000 + leveraged upside payment and (b) maximum payment at maturity

= the lesser of (a) $1,000 + ($1,000 × leverage factor × basket return) and (b) $1,359.00

First, calculate the basket return:

basket return = (final basket value – initial basket value) / initial basket value = (105.00 – 100.00) / 100.00 = 5.00%

Next, calculate the leveraged upside payment:

leveraged upside payment = $1,000 × leverage factor × basket return = ($1,000 × 150% × 5.00%) = $75.00

Because $1,000 plus the leveraged upside payment of $75.00 is less than the maximum payment at maturity, the payment at maturity is equal to $1,075.00 per Buffered PLUS, representing a total return of 7.50% on the Buffered PLUS.

| RTX Basket Component | $100.00 | $90.00 | -10.00% | 10.00% |

---

***Step 1: Calculate the final basket value based on the final component values and weightings for each basket component.***

The final basket value is calculated as follows:

100.00 × (1+ [(30.00% × 10.00%) + (35.00% × 10.00%) + (20.00% × 10.00%) + (20.00% ×10.00%) + (25.00% × 10.00%) + (20.00% × 10.00%) + (-85.00% × 10.00%) + (-15.00% × 10.00%) + (-90.00% × 10.00%) + (-10.00% × 10.00%)]) = 95.00

Therefore, the final basket value is 95.00.

***Step 2: Calculate the payment at maturity.***

Because the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value but greater than or equal to the buffer value, the payment at maturity is equal to the stated principal amount of $1,000.00 per Buffered PLUS.

The total return on the Buffered PLUS is 0.00%.

| RTX Basket Component | $100.00 | $90.00 | -10.00% | 10.00% |

---

***Step 1: Calculate the final basket value based on the final component values and weightings for each basket component.***

The final basket value is calculated as follows:

100.00 × (1+ [(-40.00% × 10.00%) + (-30.00% × 10.00%) + (-60.00% × 10.00%) + (-70.00% ×10.00%) + (-35.00% × 10.00%) + (-65.00% × 10.00%) + (-85.00% × 10.00%) + (-15.00% × 10.00%) + (-90.00% × 10.00%) + (-10.00% × 10.00%)]) = 50.00

Therefore, the final basket value is 50.00.

***Step 2: Calculate the payment at maturity.***

Because the final basket value is less than the buffer value, the payment at maturity is equal to $600.00 per Buffered PLUS, calculated as follows:

($1,000 × basket performance factor) + $100.00

= [$1,000 × (final basket value / initial basket value)] + $100.00

= [$1,000 × (50.00 / 100.00)] + $100.00 = $600.00

The total return on the Buffered PLUS is -40.00%.

Risk Factors

*An investment in the Buffered PLUS involves significant risks. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Buffered PLUS. Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing directly in the basket or any basket component. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Buffered PLUS are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the Buffered PLUS generally in the "Risk Factors" section of the prospectus supplement. You should not purchase the Buffered PLUS unless you understand and can bear the risks of investing in the Buffered PLUS.*

**Risks Relating to the Buffered PLUS Generally**

▪ **The Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 10% of your principal.** The terms of the Buffered PLUS differ
from those of ordinary debt securities in that the Buffered PLUS do not pay interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only
10% of your principal. If the final basket value is less than the buffer value, which is 90% of the initial basket value, the payment
at maturity will be an amount in cash that is less than the $1,000 stated principal amount of each Buffered PLUS by a percentage equal
to the percentage decrease from the initial basket value to the final basket value in excess of the buffer amount. You may lose up to
90% of your initial investment in the Buffered PLUS.

▪ **The appreciation potential of the Buffered PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.** The appreciation potential of the Buffered PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of at least $1,359.00 per Buffered PLUS
(at least 135.90% of the stated principal amount). The actual maximum payment at maturity will be determined on the pricing date. Although
the leverage factor provides 150% exposure to any increase in the final basket value as compared to the initial basket value, because
the payment at maturity will be limited to at least 135.90% of the stated principal amount for the Buffered PLUS, any increase in the
final basket value as compared to the initial basket value by more than approximately 23.933% (in the case where the maximum payment at
maturity is 135.90% of the stated principal amount) of the initial basket value will not further increase the return on the Buffered PLUS.

▪ **Any payment on the Buffered PLUS will be determined based on the closing prices of the basket components on the dates specified.** Any payment on the Buffered PLUS will be determined based on the closing prices of the basket components on
the dates specified. You will not benefit from any more favorable values of the basket components determined at any other time.

▪ **Investing in the Buffered PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the basket or the basket components**.
Investors in the Buffered PLUS will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with
respect to the basket components.

▪ **Correlation (or lack of correlation) of performances among the basket components may adversely affect your return on the Buffered PLUS, and changes in the value of the basket components may offset each other.** "Correlation"
is a measure of the degree to which the returns of a pair of assets are similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and
direction. Movements in the value of the basket components may not correlate with each other. At a time when one basket component increases
in value, the value of another basket component may not increase as much, or may even decline in value. Therefore, in calculating the
basket components' performance on the valuation date, an increase in the value of one basket component may be moderated, or wholly
offset, by a lesser increase or by a decline in the value of another basket component. In addition, however, high correlation of movements
in the values of the basket components could adversely affect your return on the Buffered PLUS during periods of negative performance
of the basket components. Changes in the correlation of the basket components may adversely affect the market value of the Buffered PLUS.

▪ **The U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS are uncertain.** There
is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Buffered PLUS, and we do not plan to request
a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Buffered
PLUS are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the treatment of the Buffered PLUS as prepaid forward contracts, as described
below under "Additional provisions—Tax considerations." If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment
for the Buffered PLUS, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Buffered PLUS could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, in 2007 the Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar instruments. Any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should review carefully the sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Forward Contracts" and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, "—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders," and consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the 2007 notice), as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

**Risks Relating to the Issuer**

▪ **Credit of issuer.** The Buffered PLUS 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
Buffered PLUS, 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS.

▪ **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 Buffered PLUS or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank
PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the Buffered PLUS (or the trustee on behalf of the holders of the Buffered PLUS), by acquiring
the Buffered PLUS, each holder or beneficial owner of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS losing all or a part of the value of your investment in the Buffered PLUS or receiving a different security
from the Buffered PLUS, which may be worth significantly less than the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS. The exercise
of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS. 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 Basket Components**

▪ **No affiliation with the issuers of the basket components**. The issuers of the basket components
are not affiliates of ours, are not involved with this offering in any way, and have no obligation to consider your interests in taking
any corporate actions that might affect the value of the Buffered PLUS. We have not made any due diligence inquiry with respect to the
issuer of any basket component in connection with this offering.

▪ **Single equity risk**. The price of each basket component can rise or fall sharply due to factors
specific to each basket component and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry
and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock
market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. We urge you to review financial and other information
filed periodically with the SEC by the issuer of each basket component.

▪ **Risks associated with non-U.S. companies with respect to the RIO Basket Component**. An investment
linked to the value of securities issued by non-U.S. companies, such as the American depositary shares of Rio Tinto plc, which represent
securities issued by a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with its principal executive offices located in the United
Kingdom, involves risks associated with such countries of organization and operation. The prices of such company's securities may
be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in such countries, including changes in such countries' government,
economic and fiscal policies, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions.

▪ **There are important differences between the American depositary shares and the ordinary shares of Rio Tinto plc.** You should be aware that your return on the securities is linked to the price of
American depositary shares representing the ordinary shares of Rio Tinto plc and not the underlying ordinary shares of Rio Tinto plc.
There are important differences between the rights of holders of American depositary shares and the rights of holders of the ordinary
shares. Each American depositary share is a security evidenced by American depositary receipts, one of which represents one ordinary share
of Rio Tinto plc. The American depositary shares are issued pursuant to a deposit agreement, which sets forth the rights and responsibilities
of the depositary, the relevant non-U.S. issuer and holders of the American depositary shares, which may be different from the rights
of holders of the ordinary shares. For example, a company may make distributions in respect of its ordinary shares that are not passed
on to the holders of its American depositary shares. Any such differences between the rights of holders of the American depositary shares
and the rights of holders of the ordinary shares of Rio Tinto plc may be significant and may materially and adversely affect the value
of the American depositary shares and, as a result, the value of your securities. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in
this document to the issuer of the American depositary shares of Rio Tinto plc refer to Rio Tinto plc.

▪ **Anti-dilution protection is limited, and the calculation agent has discretion to make anti-dilution adjustments.** The calculation agent may in its sole discretion make adjustments affecting the amounts payable on the Buffered PLUS
upon the occurrence of certain corporate events (such as stock splits or extraordinary or special dividends) that the calculation agent
determines have a diluting or concentrative effect on the theoretical value of a basket component. However, the calculation agent might
not make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect a basket component. The occurrence of any such event and any adjustment
made by the calculation agent (or a determination by the calculation agent not to make any adjustment) may adversely affect the market
price of, and any amounts payable on, the Buffered PLUS. See "Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share Adjustments Relating
to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

▪ **Reorganization or other events could adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS or result in the Buffered PLUS being accelerated.** Upon the occurrence of certain reorganization events
or a nationalization, expropriation, liquidation, bankruptcy, insolvency or de-listing of a basket component, the calculation agent may
replace that basket component with shares of another company identified as described in the prospectus supplement or, in some cases, with
shares, cash or other assets distributed to holders of that basket component upon the occurrence of that event. In the alternative, the
calculation agent may accelerate the maturity date for a payment determined by the calculation agent or may make other changes to the
terms of the Buffered PLUS to account for the occurrence of that event. Any decision by the calculation agent to replace a basket component,
to accelerate the Buffered PLUS or to otherwise adjust the terms of the Buffered PLUS could adversely affect the value of, and any amount
payable on, the Buffered PLUS, perhaps significantly, and could result in a significantly lower return on the Buffered PLUS than if the
calculation agent had made a different decision. See "Reference Assets—Equity Securities—Share Adjustments Relating
to Securities with an Equity Security as a Reference Asset" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

▪ **Governmental legislative or regulatory actions, such as sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the Buffered PLUS.** 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 Buffered PLUS or any basket component, or engaging in transactions in them, and any such action could adversely affect the value of
that basket component. These legislative or regulatory actions could result in restrictions on the Buffered PLUS or the de-listing of
any basket component. You may lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment in the Buffered PLUS if any basket component
is de-listed or if you are forced to divest the Buffered PLUS due to government mandates, especially if such de-listing occurs or such
divestment must be made at a time when the value of the Buffered PLUS has declined. See "—Reorganization or other events could
adversely affect the value of the securities or result in the securities being accelerated" above.

▪ **Historical performance of the basket components should not be taken as any indication of the future performance of the basket components over the term of the Buffered PLUS.** The value of
each basket component has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. The historical performance
of a basket component is not an indication of the future performance of that basket component over the term of the Buffered PLUS. The
historical correlation between basket components is not an indication of the future correlation between them over the term of the Buffered
PLUS. Therefore, the performance of the basket components over the term of the Buffered PLUS may bear no relation or resemblance to the
historical performance of any of the basket components.

▪ **We may accelerate the Buffered PLUS if a change-in-law event occurs.** Upon the occurrence of legal or regulatory changes that may, among other things, prohibit or otherwise materially restrict
persons from holding the Buffered PLUS or the basket components, or engaging in transactions in them, the calculation agent may determine
that a change-in-law event has occurred and accelerate the maturity date for a payment determined by the calculation agent in its sole
discretion. Any amount payable upon acceleration could be significantly less than any amount that would be due on the Buffered PLUS if
they were not accelerated. However, if the calculation agent elects not to accelerate the Buffered PLUS, the value of, and any amount
payable on, the Buffered PLUS could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, by the occurrence of those legal or regulatory changes.
See "Terms of the Notes—Change-in-Law Events" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

**Risks Relating to Conflicts of Interest**

▪ **We may engage in business with or involving any issuer of any basket component without regard to your interests.** We or our affiliates may presently or from time to time engage in business with any issuer of any basket component
without regard to your interests and thus may acquire non-public information about any issuer of any basket component. Neither we nor
any of our affiliates undertakes to disclose any such information to you. In addition, we or our affiliates from time to time have published
and in the future may publish research reports with respect to any issuer of any basket component, which may or may not recommend that
investors buy or hold any basket component.

▪ **Hedging and trading activity by the issuer and its affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the Buffered PLUS.** The hedging or trading activities of the issuer's affiliates and of any other hedging counterparty
with respect to the Buffered PLUS on or prior to the pricing date and prior to maturity could adversely affect the values of the basket
components and the basket and, as a result, could decrease the amount an investor may receive on the Buffered PLUS at maturity. Any of
these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the pricing date could potentially increase the initial component values and, therefore,
the

April 2026 Page 18

Buffered PLUS Based on the Performance of a Basket of Ten Equity Securities due October 14, 2027

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

value at or above which the basket components must close on the valuation date so that the investor does not suffer a loss on their initial investment in the Buffered PLUS. Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the Buffered PLUS, including on the valuation date, could potentially affect the value of the basket components on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash an investor will receive at maturity, if any.

▪ **We and our affiliates, and any dealer participating in the distribution of the Buffered PLUS, may engage in various activities or make determinations that could materially affect your Buffered PLUS in various ways and create conflicts of interest.** We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Buffered PLUS, as described below.
In performing these roles, our and our affiliates' economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in
the Buffered PLUS.

In connection with our normal business activities and in connection with hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS, 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 basket 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 Buffered PLUS. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS.

In addition, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as the agent for the Buffered PLUS, could present significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Buffered PLUS. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the Buffered PLUS and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell the Buffered PLUS instead of other investments. Furthermore, we and our affiliates establish the offering price of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS. 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 Buffered PLUS to you. This additional projected profit may create a further incentive for the selected dealer to sell the Buffered PLUS to you.

In addition to the activities described above, we will also act as the calculation agent for the Buffered PLUS. As calculation agent, we will determine any values of the basket components and the basket and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the Buffered PLUS. In making these determinations, we may be required to make discretionary judgments, including those described in the accompanying prospectus supplement and under "—Risks Relating to the Basket Components" above. In making these discretionary judgments, our economic interests are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Buffered PLUS, and any of these determinations may adversely affect any payments on the Buffered PLUS.

**Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Buffered PLUS and the Secondary Market**

▪ **The Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS easily. Because other dealers are not likely
to make a secondary market for the Buffered PLUS, the price, if any, at which you may be able to trade your Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered
PLUS. In addition, Barclays Capital Inc. or one or more of our other affiliates may at any time hold an unsold portion of the Buffered
PLUS (as described on the cover page of this document), which may inhibit the development of a secondary market for the Buffered PLUS.
The Buffered PLUS are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be willing and able to hold your Buffered
PLUS to maturity.

▪ **The market price of the Buffered PLUS will be influenced by many unpredictable factors.** Several
factors will influence the value of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS in the secondary market. Although we expect that generally the
values of the basket components on any day will affect the value of the Buffered PLUS more than any other single factor, other factors
that may influence the value of the Buffered PLUS include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the basket components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o the correlation (or lack of correlation) among the basket components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o dividend rates on the basket components;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o interest and yield rates in the market;

April 2026 Page 19

Buffered PLUS Based on the Performance of a Basket of Ten Equity Securities due October 14, 2027

**Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities<sup>SM</sup>**

**Principal at Risk Securities**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o time remaining until the Buffered PLUS mature;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o supply and demand for the Buffered PLUS;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events that
affect the basket components and that may affect the final basket value; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads.

The values of the basket components may be, and have recently been, volatile, and we can give you no assurance that the volatility will lessen. See "Basket Overview" below. You may receive less, and possibly significantly less, than the stated principal amount if you try to sell your Buffered PLUS prior to maturity.

▪ **The estimated value of your Buffered PLUS is expected to be lower than the initial issue price of your Buffered PLUS.** The estimated value of your Buffered PLUS on the pricing date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly
lower, than the initial issue price of your Buffered PLUS. The difference between the initial issue price of your Buffered PLUS and the
estimated value of the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS, and estimated development
and other costs that we may incur in connection with the Buffered PLUS. 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered
PLUS 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 methodologies used
by us to estimate the value of the Buffered PLUS may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers
or sellers of Buffered PLUS in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your Buffered PLUS may be materially different
from the estimated value of the Buffered PLUS determined by reference to our internal pricing models.

▪ **The estimated value of your Buffered PLUS is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your Buffered PLUS in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Buffered PLUS and may be lower than the estimated value of your Buffered PLUS**. The estimated value of the Buffered PLUS
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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS. Further, as secondary market prices of your Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS such as
fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS, secondary market prices of your Buffered
PLUS will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Buffered PLUS. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other
affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Buffered PLUS from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will
likely be lower than the price you paid for your Buffered PLUS, 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 Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS.** Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which
Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Buffered PLUS in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a market in
the Buffered PLUS, 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 Buffered PLUS on the pricing date, as well as the secondary
market value of the Buffered PLUS, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the Buffered PLUS. The price at which Barclays
Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS.

The following graph is calculated to show the performance of the basket during the period from January 4, 2021 through April 1, 2026 assuming that on January 4, 2021, the basket components were weighted as set forth above, the initial component values were determined and the initial basket value was set equal to 100, and illustrates the effect of the offset and/or correlation among the basket components during such period. The graph does not take into account the buffer, the leverage factor or the maximum payment at maturity on the Buffered PLUS, nor does it attempt to show your expected return on an investment in the Buffered PLUS. You cannot predict the future performance of any basket component or of the basket as a whole, or whether an increase in the value of a basket component will be offset by a decrease in the value of another basket component. The historical performance of the basket and the degree of correlation between the value trends of the basket components (or lack thereof) should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the basket.

We obtained the closing prices of the basket components from Bloomberg Professional<sup>®</sup> service, without independent verification. Historical performance of the basket components should not be taken as an indication of future performance. Future performance of the basket components may differ significantly from historical performance, and no assurance can be given as to the closing price of the basket components during the term of the Buffered PLUS, including on the valuation date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the basket components will not result in a loss on your initial investment. *The closing prices below may reflect adjustments in response to certain corporate actions, such as stock splits, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, extraordinary dividends, delistings and bankruptcy.*

| **Additional provisions:** |  |
| **Minimum ticketing size:** | $1,000 / 1 Buffered PLUS |
| **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 Contracts" and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, "—Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders." The following discussion, when read in combination with those sections, constitutes the full opinion of our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the Buffered PLUS. Moreover, as discussed in the section entitled "Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying prospectus supplement, we have not attempted to ascertain whether any issuer of any shares (or other equity interests) to which a Buffered PLUS relates is a U.S. real property holding corporation ("USRPHC") or a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC"). If any such issuer were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply, to a U.S. holder in the case of a PFIC, or to a non-U.S. holder in the case of a USRPHC. You should consult your tax advisor regarding these issues, including the effect any circumstances specific to you may have on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your ownership of a Buffered PLUS.<br>Based on current market conditions, in the opinion of our special tax counsel, the Buffered PLUS should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with respect to the basket. Assuming this treatment is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the Buffered PLUS (including 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 Buffered PLUS, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the Buffered PLUS. This gain or loss on your Buffered PLUS should be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Buffered PLUS for more than a year, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of Buffered PLUS at the original issue price. However, the IRS or a court may not respect this treatment, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Buffered PLUS could be materially and adversely 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; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. investors should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the "constructive ownership" regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income and impose a notional interest charge. 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 and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Buffered PLUS, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.<br>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 Buffered PLUS do not have a "delta of one" within the meaning of the regulations, we expect that these regulations will not apply to the Buffered PLUS 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 Buffered PLUS. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Buffered PLUS. |
