**Risk Factors**

**Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If
 the notes are not automatically called, your investment may result in a loss; there is no
 guaranteed return of principal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Your
 return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional fixed
 or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Your
 investment return is limited to the return represented by the Call Premiums and may be less
 than a comparable investment directly in the securities included in the Market Measure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Payments
 on the notes, including repayment of principal, are subject to the credit risk of Barclays
 and to the risk of exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power or any other resolution measure by
 the relevant U.K. resolution authority. If Barclays becomes insolvent, is unable to pay its
 obligations, or any other resolution measure is exercised, you may lose your entire investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is expected to be lower than their
 public offering price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· If
 you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both
 the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 trading market is not expected to develop for the notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Our
 business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective
 affiliates (including trades in the securities included in the Market Measure), and any hedging
 and trading activities we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates engage in for our
 clients' accounts, may affect the market value and return of the notes and may create
 conflicts of interest with you.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· There
 may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agents, which are Barclays
 and BofAS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 Market Measure sponsor may adjust the Market Measure in a way that affects its level, and
 has no obligation to consider your interests.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You
 will have no rights of a holder of the securities included in the Market Measure, and you
 will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the issuers
 of those securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· While
 we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our respective affiliates may from time to time own the securities
 included in the Market Measure, we, MLPF&S, BofAS and our respective affiliates do not
 control the issuers of those securities, and have not verified any disclosure made by any
 other company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes are uncertain.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 notes are subject to small-capitalization companies risk with respect to the Market Measure.

***Final terms will be set on the pricing date within the given range for the specified Market-Linked Investment. Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for complete product disclosure, including related risks and tax disclosure.***
