letter ruling to that effect received from the United States Internal Revenue Service or a revenue ruling pertaining to a comparable form of transaction to that effect published by the United States Internal Revenue Service;
and

  
 Annex A-1-2 

			
		  	 (d) the Bank shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent with respect to such Discharge or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
  

“Discharged” means that the Bank shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Fixed
Rate Notes and to have satisfied all the obligations under the Indenture relating to the Fixed Rate Notes (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Bank, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except (1) the rights of Holders

 Annex A-2-1 

			
		
	Interest Reset Dates:	  	Every January 11, April 11, July 11 and October 11 in each year, commencing on April 11, 2018; provided that the Interest Rate in effect from (and including) January 11, 2018 to (but excluding)

“London Banking Day” means any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

		
	Day Count:	  	Actual/360, Modified Following, Adjusted.
		
	Calculation Agent:	  	The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, or its successor appointed by the Bank.
		
	Calculation of LIBOR:	  	 LIBOR will be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions:

 
 (1) With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate (expressed
as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the related Interest Reset Date that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no
such rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below; and

  
 Annex A-2-2 

			
		 	 (2) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01, the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market (which may include affiliates of the underwriters), as selected and identified by the Bank, to provide its offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per
annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in
The City of New York (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected and identified by the Bank for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer
than two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.
  

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or any page as may replace such page on such service (or any successor
service) for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.
  

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any Interest Rate will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point,
with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts would be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

  
 Annex A-2-3 

			
		  	 All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Floating Rate Notes shall be conclusive and
binding on the Holders of the Floating Rate Notes, the Bank and the Trustee, absent manifest error.
 For any Interest Period, if LIBOR is negative, then it
would reduce the Interest Rate payable for such interest period below the specified margin. Accordingly, Holders may receive an Interest Rate that is lower than the specified margin. In any event, the Interest Rate will not be less than
zero.

		
	Form of Floating Rate Notes:	  	The Floating Rate Notes will be issued in the form of global notes that will be deposited with DTC on the Issue Date. Each global note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. and executed and delivered in substantially

 Annex A-3 

Terms applying to each of the Fixed Rate Notes and the Floating Rate Notes 
  

			
	 Payment of Principal:
	  	If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the Securities will be made on the next succeeding
Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment. Unless the Bank defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the
redemption date on the Securities called for redemption.
		
	 Beneficial Owners:
	  	 “Beneficial Owners” means (a) with respect to Global Securities, the beneficial owners of the Securities prior to the Maturity
Date and (b) with respect to definitive Securities, the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered in the Senior Debt Security Register.

Bail-in Power,” “Subsequent Holders’ Agreement” and “Payment of Additional Amounts” below, include Beneficial Owners of the Securities.

		
	 Ranking:
	  	The Securities will constitute the Bank’s direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves. In the event of the Bank’s winding-up or administration, the Securities will rank pari passu with all of the Bank’s other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and future, except such obligations as are
preferred by operation of law.
		
	 Optional Redemption:
	  	The Bank may redeem, at its option, in whole but not in part, the Fixed Rate Notes then outstanding on December 11, 2020 and/or the Floating Rate Notes then outstanding on December 11, 2020, in each case at an amount equal
to 100% of their principal amount together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date.

  
 Annex A-3-1 

					
		 	Any redemption of Securities pursuant to the provisions specified under this section “Optional Redemption” will also be subject to the provisions
specified under the section “Notice of Redemption”.
		
	 Tax Redemption:
	 	 The Bank may also, at its option, at any time, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, if (A) the Bank is required
to issue definitive securities, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(x), 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(y) or 3.05(c)(ii)(B) of the Indenture and, as a result, the Bank is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts (as defined below) with respect to the
Securities; or if (B) the Bank determines that as a result of a change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction (as defined below), including any treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party, or a
change in an official application of those laws or regulations on or after the Issue Date, including a decision of any court or tribunal, which becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (and, in the case of a successor entity, which becomes
effective on or after the date of that entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations),

			
		 	 (i)     
	 	The Bank will or would be required to pay Holders Additional Amounts;
			
		 	 (ii)    
	 	The Bank would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments in respect of the Securities in computing its taxation liabilities or the value of the deduction would be materially reduced; or
			
		 	 (iii)  
	 	The Bank would not, as a result of the Securities being in issue, be able to have losses or deductions set against the profits or gains, or profits or gains offset by the losses or deductions, of companies with which the Bank is or
would otherwise be so grouped for applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group relief system current as at the Issue Date or any similar system or systems having like effect as may from time to time exist),

  
 Annex A-3-2 

			
		
		 	 (each such change in tax law or regulation or the official application thereof, a “Tax Event”),

 
 in each of cases (A) and (B) above, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal
amount of the Securities being redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, provided that in the case of each Tax Event, the
consequences of the Tax Event cannot be avoided by the Bank taking reasonable measures available to it.
  

In each case, before the Bank gives a notice of redemption, the Bank shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a written legal opinion of independent counsel
of recognized standing, chosen by the Bank, confirming that the Bank is entitled to exercise its right of redemption, pursuant to these provisions.
  

Any successor entity that assumes the obligations of the Bank pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture shall also be entitled to redeem the Securities in
accordance with the provisions described in this section “Tax Redemption” with respect to the issuance of definitive securities, pursuant to the Indenture provisions referenced herein, or to any change or amendment to, or change in
the application of the laws or regulations (including any treaty) of the successor entity’s jurisdiction of incorporation, which becomes effective on or after the date of that successor entity’s assumption of the Bank’s
obligations.
  
 Any redemption of Securities pursuant to the provisions specified under
this section “Tax Redemption” will also be subject to the provisions specified under the section “Notice of Redemption”.

 
 For purposes of the Securities, the text of Section 11.08 and Section 11.09 of
the Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the terms specified in this section “Tax Redemption”.

  
 Annex A-3-3 

			
	Notice of Redemption:	  	 Any redemption of the Securities shall be subject to the Bank’s giving not less than thirty (30) days’, nor more than sixty
(60) days’, prior notice to the Holders of such Securities via DTC (as defined below) or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders at their addresses shown on the register for the
Securities) (such notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the following paragraph) specifying the Bank’s election to redeem the Securities and the date fixed for such redemption. Notice by DTC to participating
institutions and by these participants to street name Holders of beneficial interests in the relevant Securities will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements.

 
 If the Bank has elected to redeem the Securities but prior to the payment of the
redemption amount with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority (as defined below) exercises its U.K. Bail-in Power (as defined below) in respect of the Securities, the relevant
redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment of the redemption amount will be due and payable.
  

For purposes of the Securities, the notice period and the provisions specified under this section “Notice of Redemption” replace any different notice
period and any other provisions set forth in Article 11 of the Indenture, to the extent such provisions of the Indenture are conflicting.

		
	Subsequent Repurchases:	  	The Bank or any member of the Group (as defined below) may purchase or otherwise acquire any of the outstanding Securities at any price in the open market or otherwise.
		
	Payment of Additional Amounts:	  	The Bank will pay any amounts to be paid by it on the Securities without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions
or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United

  
 Annex A-3-4 

					
		 	Kingdom or any political subdivision or authority thereof or therein that has the power to tax (each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing
Jurisdiction requires the Bank to deduct or withhold Taxes, the Bank will pay the additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary so that the net
amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, the Bank will not pay Additional Amounts for Taxes that are payable
because:
			
		 	 (i)     
	 	the Holder of the Securities is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a permanent establishment or is physically present in, a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or
otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Securities, or the collection of any payment of, or in respect of, principal or any interest on the Securities;
			
		 	 (ii)    
	 	except in the case of winding-up of the Bank in England, the Securities are presented for payment in the United Kingdom;
			
		 	 (iii)  
	 	the Securities are presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the date payment became due or was provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional
Amounts on presenting the Security for payment at the close of such 30-day period;
			
		 	 (iv)   
	 	the Holder of the Securities or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any interest on the Securities failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or
other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of
the Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such Taxes; or

  
 Annex A-3-5 

					
		 	 (v)    
	 	if the Taxes would not have been imposed or would have been excluded under one of the preceding clauses (i) to (iv) if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, the Securities had been the
Holder of the Securities.
		
		 	 Whenever in the Securities it is mentioned the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, or in respect of, the Securities,
such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable.
  

Any amounts to be paid by the Bank or any Paying Agent on the Securities will be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required pursuant to
Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code,
or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an intergovernmental
agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and neither the Bank nor any Paying Agent will be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax.

 
 Any Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment
which it makes under the Securities and the Indenture for or on account of (i) any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and (ii) any FATCA Withholding Tax (together,
“Applicable Law”). In either case, the Paying Agent shall make any payment after a deduction or withholding has been made pursuant to Applicable Law and shall report to the relevant authorities the amount so deducted or withheld. In all
cases, the Paying

  
 Annex A-3-6 

			
		  	 Agent shall have no obligation to gross up any payment made subject to any deduction or withholding pursuant to Applicable Law. In addition,
amounts deducted or withheld by the Paying Agent under this paragraph will be treated as paid to the Holder of the Securities, and the Bank will not pay Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent the
provisions specified under this section “Payment of Additional Amounts” hereunder explicitly provide otherwise.
  

For purposes of the Securities, the text of Section 11.04 of the Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety by the terms specified in this section
“Payment of Additional Amounts”.

		
	 Agreement with
 Respect to the
Exercise
 of U.K. Bail-in Power:
	  	 Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Bank and any Holder of the Securities, by acquiring the
Securities, each Holder of the Securities 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 that may result in
(i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other
securities or other obligations of the Bank or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the Holder of the Securities of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the
Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes 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 Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-in Power. Each Holder of the Securities
further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders of the Securities 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 of the Securities 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.

  
 Annex A-3-7 

			
		  	 For these purposes, a “U.K. Bail-in Power” is any write-down, conversion, transfer,
modification and/or suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the United
Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the Bank or other members of the Group (as defined below), including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the
context of any applicable European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, and/or within the context of a U.K.
resolution regime under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013, secondary legislation or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations
of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, amended, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (and
a reference to the “Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power).

 
 No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the
Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under
the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Bank.
  

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust
Indenture Act”), waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a

  
 Annex A-3-8 

			
		 	 suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall 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 Securities.

 
 Upon the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by
the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, the Bank shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power for purposes of
notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Bank shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes.

		
		 	 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the
Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act.
  
 By its acquisition of the
Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, (a) the
Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions from Holders of the Securities under Section 5.12 (Control by Holders) of the Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities to direct certain actions relating to the Securities, and (b) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power
by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in respect of the
Securities, the Securities remain outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of such Securities), then the Trustee’s duties
under the Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Bank and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture, or an amendment thereto.

  
 Annex A-3-9 

			
		
		  	 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (b) authorized, directed and
requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds the Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in
Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or the Trustee.
  

The exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities will
not constitute an Event of Default (as this term is defined in the Indenture).
  
 The
Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in accordance with Section 6.07 the Indenture shall survive the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect
to the Securities. 
  

“Group” refers to Barclays PLC (or any successor entity) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

		
	Subsequent Holders’ Agreement:	  	Holders of Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent to, the same provisions specified herein to the same extent as the Holders of the
Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by, and consent to, the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. Bail-in Power.

“Security”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under and governed by the Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2004 (the “Indenture”), and under an Officer’s Certificate
pursuant to Sections 1.02, 3.01 and 3.03 of the Indenture dated January 11, 2018 (the “Officer’s Certificate”). 

Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Bank and any Holder of the Securities, by acquiring the Securities, each
Holder of the Securities acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to, the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-In Power (as defined below) by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority (as defined below)
that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities
into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Bank or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the Holder of the Securities of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the
maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes 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 Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K.
Bail-In Power. Each Holder of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders of the Securities 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. References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners (as defined below) of the Securities. 

  
 Exhibit A-2 

 Holders of Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree
to be bound by, and consent to, the same provisions specified herein to the same extent as the Holders of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and
agreement to be bound by, and consent to, the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. Bail-In Power. References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities.

 BARCLAYS
BANK PLC, a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of England and Wales (herein called the “Bank”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of US$[            ] on January 11, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), except as otherwise
provided herein, and to pay interest thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall accrue on this Security from January 11, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, and shall be paid semi-annually in arrear on January 11 and July 11 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on July 11, 2018 and ending on the Maturity Date, except as otherwise
provided herein, at the rate of 2.650% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. 
 If any scheduled
Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment shall not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Interest
Payment Date. If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the Securities will be made on the next succeeding Business
Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment. Unless the Bank defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the redemption
date on the Securities called for redemption. A “Business Day” means any weekday, other than one on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in London, England or in the City of New
York, United States. 
 Subject to the limitations specified on the reverse of this Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed
and payable in arrear and on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each. 
 The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, the 15th Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date).
Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly 

  
 Exhibit A-4 

 
provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 
 No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the
Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under
the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Bank. 
 Payments of principal of and interest, if
any, on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments shall be made through one or more Paying Agents
appointed under the Indenture to the Holder or Holders of this Security. Initially, the Paying Agent and the Senior Debt Security Registrar for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, and
the Place of Payment in respect of the Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, which as of the date hereof is the office or agency of the Trustee located at said address. The Bank may change the Paying Agent or, subject to
Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Place of Payment without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and in such an event the Bank may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities
shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal, this Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, as defined herein. 
 THIS SECURITY IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE UNITED
STATES FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE UNITED KINGDOM.

 (Reverse of Security) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Bank (herein called the “Securities” and each, a
“Security”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under and governed by the Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Bank and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) and under an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Sections 1.02, 3.01 and 3.03 of the Indenture dated
January 11, 2018 (the “Officer’s Certificate”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Bank, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture and the Officer’s
Certificate may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security, the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate shall control for purposes of this Security. 

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount of US$2,000,000,000, which amount
may be increased at the option of the Bank if in the future it determines that it may wish to issue additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof. 

For purposes of this Security: 

“Beneficial Owners” means (a) with respect to Global Securities, the beneficial owners of the Securities prior to the
Maturity Date and (b) with respect to definitive Securities, the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered in the Senior Debt Security Register. 

“DTC” means The Depository Trust Company, or any successor clearing system. 

“Group” refers to Barclays PLC (or any successor entity) and its consolidated subsidiaries. 

“U.K. Bail-In Power” means any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or
suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and
applicable in the United Kingdom to the Bank or other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws, regulations, rules or requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of any applicable European Union
directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the 

  
 Exhibit A-8 

 
Council establishing a framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime under the U.K. Banking Act
2009, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013, secondary legislation or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit
institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, amended, transferred and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (and a reference to the “Relevant U.K.
Resolution Authority” is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K. Bail-In Power). References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

The Bank shall pay any amounts to be paid by it on the Securities without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present
or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political
subdivision or authority thereof or therein that has the power to tax (each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Bank to deduct or withhold
Taxes, the Bank shall pay the additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary so that the net amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or
withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, the Bank shall not pay Additional Amounts for Taxes that are payable because: 

(i)    the Holder of the Securities is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a
permanent establishment or is physically present in, a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Securities, or the
collection of any payment of, or in respect of, principal of or any interest on, the Securities; 
 (ii)    except in
the case of winding-up of the Bank in England, the Securities are presented for payment in the United Kingdom; 

(iii)    the Securities are presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the date payment became due or was
provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the Security for payment at the close of such 30-day period; 

(iv)    the Holder of the Securities or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any
interest on the Securities failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction

  
 Exhibit A-9 

 
of such Holder or beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or
exemption from such Taxes; or 
 (v)    if the Taxes would not have been imposed or would have been excluded under one
of the preceding clause (i) to (iv) if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, the Securities had been the Holder of the Securities. 

References to “Holder” in the preceding paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

Whenever in the Securities it is mentioned the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, or in respect of, the Securities, such mention
shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable. 

Any amounts to be paid by the Bank or any Paying Agent on the Securities shall be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required
pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)
of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an
intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and neither the Bank nor any Paying Agent shall be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax. 

Any Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it makes under the Securities and the Indenture
for or on account of (i) any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and (ii) any FATCA Withholding Tax (together, “Applicable Law”). In either case, the Paying Agent
shall make any payment after a deduction or withholding has been made pursuant to Applicable Law and shall report to the relevant authorities the amount so deducted or withheld. In all cases, the Paying Agent shall have no obligation to gross up any
payment made subject to any deduction or withholding pursuant to Applicable Law. In addition, amounts deducted or withheld by the Paying Agent under this paragraph will be treated as paid to the Holder of the Securities, and the Bank will not pay
Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent the provisions specified in this paragraph explicitly provide otherwise. 

The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Securities then Outstanding, in whole but not in part, on December 11, 2020 at an amount equal to
100% of their principal amount together with, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date. 

  
 Exhibit A-10 

 The Bank may, at its option, at any time, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, if
(A) the Bank is required to issue definitive securities, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(x), 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(y) or 3.05(c)(ii)(B) of the Indenture and, as a result, the Bank is or
would be required to pay Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities; or if (B) the Bank determines that as a result of a change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction, including any treaty to which the
relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party, or a change in an official application of those laws or regulations on or after the issue date of the Securities, including a decision of any court or tribunal, which becomes effective on or after the issue
date of the Securities (and, in the case of a successor entity, which becomes effective on or after the date of that entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations), 
  

	 	(i)	The Bank will or would be required to pay Holders Additional Amounts; 

  

	 	(ii)	The Bank would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments in respect of the Securities in computing its taxation liabilities or the value of the deduction would be materially reduced; or

  

	 	(iii)	The Bank would not, as a result of the Securities being in issue, be able to have losses or deductions set against the profits or gains, or profits or gains offset by the losses or deductions, of companies with which
the Bank is or would otherwise be so grouped for applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group relief system current as at the issue date of the Securities or any similar system or systems having like effect as may from time to
time exist), 

 (each such change in tax law or regulation or the official application thereof, a “Tax Event”), 

in each of cases (A) and (B) above, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed together with
accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, provided that in the case of each Tax Event, the consequences of the Tax Event cannot be avoided by the
Bank taking reasonable measures available to it. 
 In each case, before the Bank gives a notice of redemption, the Bank shall be required
to deliver to the Trustee a written legal opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing, chosen by the Bank, confirming that the Bank is entitled to exercise its right of redemption, pursuant to the relevant tax redemption provisions of the
Indenture and Officer’s Certificate. 
 Any successor entity that assumes the obligations of the Bank pursuant to Section 8.03 of
the Indenture shall also be entitled to redeem the Securities in accordance 

  
 Exhibit A-11 

 
with the provisions described in the preceding paragraph with respect to the issuance of definitive securities, pursuant to the Indenture provisions referenced herein, or to any change or
amendment to, or change in the application of the laws or regulations (including any treaty) of the successor entity’s jurisdiction of incorporation, which becomes effective on or after the date of that successor entity’s assumption of the
Bank’s obligations. 
 Any redemption of the Securities shall be subject to the Bank’s giving not less than thirty
(30) days’, nor more than sixty (60) days’, prior notice to the Holders of such Securities via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, to the Holders at their addresses shown on
the register for the Securities) (such notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the following paragraph) specifying the Bank’s election to redeem the Securities and the date fixed for such redemption. Notice by
DTC to participating institutions and by these participants to street name Holders of beneficial interests in the relevant Securities will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. 

If the Bank has elected to redeem the Securities but prior to the payment of the redemption amount with respect to such redemption the
Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority exercises its U.K. Bail-In Power in respect of the Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no
payment of the redemption amount shall be due and payable. 
 All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by each Holder and
Beneficial Owner pursuant to this Security, including the consents given by such Holder and beneficial owner, shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such
Holder and Beneficial Owner. 
 Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Bank and any Holder of the
Securities, by acquiring the Securities, each Holder of the Securities 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 that may result in (i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the
Securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the Bank or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the Holder of the Securities of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration
of the maturity of the Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes 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 Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K.
Bail-In Power. Each Holder of the Securities further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders of the Securities 

  
 Exhibit A-12 

 
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 of the Securities 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. 
 No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or
payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to
be made by the Bank under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Bank. 
 By its
acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities, to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a
suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall 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 Securities. 
 Upon the
exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, the Bank shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the
U.K. Bail-In Power for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The Bank shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. 

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the
Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges
and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, (a) the Trustee shall not be required to take any further directions
from Holders of the Securities under Section 5.12 (Control by Holders) of the Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to direct certain actions relating to the
Securities, and (b) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in respect of the Securities, the Securities remain Outstanding (for example, if the
exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of such Securities), then the Trustee’s duties under the Indenture shall remain

  
 Exhibit A-13 

 
applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Bank and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment thereto. 

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (b) authorized, directed and
requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds the Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In
Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or the Trustee. 

The exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the
Securities shall not constitute an Event of Default (as this term is defined in the Indenture). 
 References to “Holder” in each
of the nine preceding paragraphs include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 
 The Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in
accordance with Section 6.07 the Indenture shall survive the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities. 

Holders of Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent
to, the same provisions specified in this Security and the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and
agreement to be bound by, and consent to, the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. Bail-In Power. References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the
Securities. 
 The Securities shall constitute the Bank’s direct, unconditional, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking
pari passu without any preference among themselves. In the event of the Bank’s winding-up or administration, the Securities shall rank pari passu with all of the Bank’s other
outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and future, except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Bank and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Bank and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority principal amount of the Securities at any time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. 

  
 Exhibit A-14 

 
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at any time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Bank with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive
and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a
continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee shall not have received from
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, and, in the case of a proceeding for the winding-up of the Bank in England, such proceeding is in the name and on behalf of the Trustee to the same extent (but no
further or otherwise) as the Trustee would have been entitled so to do. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the
respective due dates expressed or provided for herein. 
 Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Security, nothing shall impair the
right of a Holder of this Security under the Trust Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to sue for any payments due but unpaid with respect to this Security. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Senior
Debt Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in any place where the principal of this Security is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Senior Debt Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 This Security, and
any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $200,000 and increments of $1,000 thereafter. The denominations cannot be changed without the consent of the
Trustee. 

  
 Exhibit A-15 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Bank
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due
presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Bank, the Trustee and any agent of the Bank or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Bank, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Indenture and

Securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust) or need not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Bank deposits, in trust, with the Trustee money or Government Obligations which
through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal of, and interest on, the Security on the dates such payments are due in accordance with
the terms of this Security and certain other conditions are satisfied. 
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York.

 BARCLAYS
BANK PLC, a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of England and Wales (herein called the “Bank”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby
promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of US$[            ] on January 11, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”), except as otherwise
provided herein, and to pay interest thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall accrue on this Security from January 11, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, and shall be paid quarterly in arrear on January 11, April 11, July 11 and October 11 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on April 11, 2018 and ending on the
Maturity Date, except as otherwise provided herein, at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), reset quarterly, plus 0.46% per annum, as described below, until the principal
hereof is paid or made available for payment. 
 The interest rate on the Securities for the first Interest Period will be LIBOR, as
determined on January 9, 2018 (treating January 9, 2018 as if it were an Interest Determination Date and January 11, 2018 as the related Interest Reset Date), plus 0.46% per annum. Thereafter, the interest rate on the Securities for
any Interest Period will be LIBOR, as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date, plus 0.46% per annum. The interest rate on the Securities will be reset quarterly on each Interest Reset Date. Subject to the limitations specified on
the reverse of this Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed and payable in arrear and on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. 

The Calculation Agent, initially the Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (the “Calculation Agent”), will determine LIBOR
in accordance with the following provisions: With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the related
Interest Reset Date that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01, LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined as
follows: the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, as selected and identified by the Bank, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation
(expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that

  
 Exhibit B-4 

 
Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then
LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00
a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in the City of New York as selected and identified by the Bank for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a period of three months, commencing on
the related Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time; provided, however, that if at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the
Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such rates, but if fewer than two such rates are provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination
Date. “Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or any page as may replace such page on such service (or any successor service) for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks
for U.S. dollars. 
 All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the interest rate on the Securities
shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of the Securities, the Bank and the Trustee, absent manifest error. 
 If any scheduled
Interest Payment Date (other than the Maturity Date) is not a Business Day (as defined below), the Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar
month, the Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or
repayment of the Securities will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment. Unless the Bank defaults on payment of
the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the redemption date on the Securities called for redemption. A “Business Day” means any weekday, other than one on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law
or executive order to close in London, England or in the City of New York, United States. 
 The interest so payable, and punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest which shall be the Business Day immediately preceding each Interest Payment Date (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, the 15th Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date). Any such interest not so punctually paid or
duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of 

  
 Exhibit B-5 

 
Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the
exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and
the European Union applicable to the Bank. 
 Payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Holder or Holders of
this Security. Initially, the Paying Agent and the Senior Debt Security Registrar for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286 and the Place of Payment in respect of the Securities shall be
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, which as of the date hereof is the office or agency of the Trustee located at said address. The Bank may change the Paying Agent or, subject to Section 3.01 of the Indenture, the Place of Payment
without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and in such an event the Bank may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal, this Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent. 

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, as defined herein. 
 THIS SECURITY IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT INSURED BY THE UNITED
STATES FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE UNITED KINGDOM. 
 Unless the
certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 (Reverse of Security) 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Bank (herein called the “Securities” and each, a
“Security”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under and governed by the Senior Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of September 16, 2004 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Bank and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture) and under an Officer’s Certificate pursuant to Sections 1.02, 3.01 and 3.03 of the Indenture dated
January 11, 2018 (the “Officer’s Certificate”), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Bank, the Trustee, the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. Insofar as the provisions of the Indenture and the Officer’s
Certificate may conflict with the provisions set forth in this Security, the Indenture and the Officer’s Certificate shall control for purposes of this Security. 

This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited to an aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000, which amount
may be increased at the option of the Bank if in the future it determines that it may wish to issue additional Securities of this series. References herein to “this series” mean the series designated on the face hereof. 

For purposes of this Security: 

“Beneficial Owners” means (a) with respect to Global Securities, the beneficial owners of the Securities prior to the
Maturity Date and (b) with respect to definitive Securities, the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered in the Senior Debt Security Register. 

“DTC” means The Depository Trust Company, or any successor clearing system. 

“Group” refers to Barclays PLC (or any successor entity) and its consolidated subsidiaries. 

“Interest Determination Date” means the second London Banking Day preceding the applicable Interest Reset Date;
provided, however, that the first Interest Determination Date shall be January 9, 2018. 
 “Interest
Period” means the period beginning on (and including) an Interest Payment Date and ending on (but not including) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided that the first Interest Period will begin on and include
January 11, 2018 and will end on (but not include) April 11, 2018. 

  
 Exhibit B-8 

 “Interest Reset Date” means every January 11, April 11, July 11
and October 11 in each year, commencing on April 11, 2017; provided that the interest rate in effect from (and including) January 11, 2018 to (but excluding) the first Interest Reset Date will be the initial interest rate;
provided that if any Interest Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar
month, the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. 
 “London Banking Day” means any day on
which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. 
 “U.K.
Bail-In Power” means any write-down, conversion, transfer, modification and/or suspension power existing from time to time under any laws, regulations, rules or requirements relating to the resolution
of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions and/or investment firms incorporated in the United Kingdom in effect and applicable in the United Kingdom to the Bank or other members of the Group, including but not limited to any such laws,
regulations, rules or requirements that are implemented, adopted or enacted within the context of any applicable European Union directive or regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for the recovery and
resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, and/or within the context of a U.K. resolution regime under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as the same has been or may be amended from time to time (whether pursuant to the U.K. Financial Services
(Banking Reform) Act 2013, secondary legislation or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking group company, credit institution or investment firm or any of its affiliates can be reduced, cancelled, amended, transferred and/or
converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any other person (and a reference to the “Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” is to any authority with the ability to exercise a U.K.
Bail-In Power). References to “Holder” in this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

The Bank shall pay any amounts to be paid by it on the Securities without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any and all present
or future income, stamp and other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Taxes”) now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of the United Kingdom or any political
subdivision or authority thereof or therein that has the power to tax (each, a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless the deduction or withholding is required by law. If at any time a Taxing Jurisdiction requires the Bank to deduct or withhold
Taxes, the Bank shall pay the additional amounts of, or in respect of, the principal of, and any interest on, the Securities (“Additional Amounts”) that are necessary so that the net amounts paid to the Holders, after the deduction or
withholding, shall equal the amounts which would have been payable had no such deduction or withholding been required. However, the Bank shall not pay Additional Amounts for Taxes that are payable because: 

(i)    the Holder of the Securities is a domiciliary, national or resident of, or engages in business or maintains a
permanent establishment or is physically present in, a Taxing Jurisdiction requiring that deduction or withholding, or otherwise has some connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction other than the holding or ownership of the Securities, or the
collection of any payment of, or in respect of, principal of or any interest on, the Securities; 

  
 Exhibit B-9 

 (ii)    except in the case of
winding-up of the Bank in England, the Securities are presented for payment in the United Kingdom; 

(iii)    the Securities are presented for payment more than thirty (30) days after the date payment became due or was
provided for, whichever is later, except to the extent that the Holder would have been entitled to the Additional Amounts on presenting the Security for payment at the close of such 30-day period; 

(iv)    the Holder of the Securities or the beneficial owner of any payment of (or in respect of) principal of, or any
interest on the Securities failed to make any necessary claim or to comply with any certification, identification or other requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the Taxing Jurisdiction of such Holder or
beneficial owner, if such claim or compliance is required by statute, treaty, regulation or administrative practice of the Taxing Jurisdiction as a condition to relief or exemption from such Taxes; or 

(v)    if the Taxes would not have been imposed or would have been excluded under one of the preceding clause (i) to
(iv) if the beneficial owner of, or person ultimately entitled to obtain an interest in, the Securities had been the Holder of the Securities. 

References to “Holder” in the preceding paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 

Whenever in the Securities it is mentioned the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, or in respect of, the Securities, such mention
shall be deemed to include the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable. 

Any amounts to be paid by the Bank or any Paying Agent on the Securities shall be paid net of any deduction or withholding imposed or required
pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)
of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code (or any law implementing such an
intergovernmental agreement) (a “FATCA Withholding Tax”), and neither the Bank nor any Paying Agent shall be required to pay Additional Amounts on account of any FATCA Withholding Tax. 

  
 Exhibit B-10 

 Any Paying Agent shall be entitled to make a deduction or withholding from any payment which it
makes under the Securities and the Indenture for or on account of (i) any present or future taxes, duties or charges if and to the extent so required by any applicable law and (ii) any FATCA Withholding Tax (together, “Applicable
Law”). In either case, the Paying Agent shall make any payment after a deduction or withholding has been made pursuant to Applicable Law and shall report to the relevant authorities the amount so deducted or withheld. In all cases, the Paying
Agent shall have no obligation to gross up any payment made subject to any deduction or withholding pursuant to Applicable Law. In addition, amounts deducted or withheld by the Paying Agent under this paragraph will be treated as paid to the Holder
of the Securities, and the Bank will not pay Additional Amounts in respect of such deduction or withholding, except to the extent the provisions specified in this paragraph explicitly provide otherwise. 

The Bank may, at its option, redeem the Securities then Outstanding, in whole but not in part, on December 11, 2020 at an amount equal to
100% of their principal amount together with, accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the redemption date. 

The Bank may, at its option, at any time, redeem the Securities, in whole but not in part, if (A) the Bank is required to issue
definitive securities, pursuant to Section 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(x), 3.05(c)(ii)(A)(y) or 3.05(c)(ii)(B) of the Indenture and, as a result, the Bank is or would be required to pay Additional Amounts
with respect to the Securities; or if (B) the Bank determines that as a result of a change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Taxing Jurisdiction, including any treaty to which the relevant Taxing Jurisdiction is a party, or a
change in an official application of those laws or regulations on or after the issue date of the Securities, including a decision of any court or tribunal, which becomes effective on or after the issue date of the Securities (and, in the case of a
successor entity, which becomes effective on or after the date of that entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations), 
  

	 	(iv)	The Bank will or would be required to pay Holders Additional Amounts; 

  

	 	(v)	The Bank would not be entitled to claim a deduction in respect of any payments in respect of the Securities in computing its taxation liabilities or the value of the deduction would be materially reduced; or

  

	 	(vi)	The Bank would not, as a result of the Securities being in issue, be able to have losses or deductions set against the profits or gains, or profits or gains offset by the losses or deductions, of companies with which
the Bank is or would otherwise be so grouped for applicable United Kingdom tax purposes (whether under the group relief system current as at the issue date of the Securities or any similar system or systems having like effect as may from time to
time exist), 

  
 Exhibit B-11 

 (each such change in tax law or regulation or the official application thereof, a “Tax
Event”), 
 in each of cases (A) and (B) above, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being
redeemed together with accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption, provided that in the case of each Tax Event, the consequences of the Tax Event
cannot be avoided by the Bank taking reasonable measures available to it. 
 In each case, before the Bank gives a notice of redemption, the
Bank shall be required to deliver to the Trustee a written legal opinion of independent counsel of recognized standing, chosen by the Bank, confirming that the Bank is entitled to exercise its right of redemption pursuant to the relevant tax
redemption provisions of the Indenture and Officer’s Certificate. 
 Any successor entity that assumes the obligations of the Bank
pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture shall also be entitled to redeem the Securities in accordance with the provisions described in the preceding paragraph with respect to the issuance of definitive securities, pursuant to the Indenture
provisions referenced herein, or to any change or amendment to, or change in the application of the laws or regulations (including any treaty) of the successor entity’s jurisdiction of incorporation, which becomes effective on or after the date
of that successor entity’s assumption of the Bank’s obligations. 
 Any redemption of the Securities shall be subject to the
Bank’s giving not less than thirty (30) days’, nor more than sixty (60) days’, prior notice to the Holders of such Securities via DTC or the relevant clearing system(s) (or, if the Securities are held in definitive form, to
the Holders at their addresses shown on the register for the Securities) (such notice being irrevocable except in the limited circumstances described in the following paragraph) specifying the Bank’s election to redeem the Securities and the
date fixed for such redemption. Notice by DTC to participating institutions and by these participants to street name Holders of beneficial interests in the relevant Securities will be made according to arrangements among them and may be subject to
statutory or regulatory requirements. 
 If the Bank has elected to redeem the Securities but prior to the payment of the redemption amount
with respect to such redemption the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority exercises its U.K. Bail-In Power in respect of the Securities, the relevant redemption notice shall be automatically rescinded and shall be of no force and effect, and no payment
of the redemption amount shall be due and payable. 

  
 Exhibit B-12 

 All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by each Holder and Beneficial Owner pursuant to
this Security, including the consents given by such Holder and beneficial owner, shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of such Holder and Beneficial Owner.

 Notwithstanding any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Bank and any Holder of the Securities, by acquiring the
Securities, each Holder of the Securities 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 that may result in
(i) the reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities; (ii) the conversion of all, or a portion, of the principal amount of, or interest on, the Securities into shares or other
securities or other obligations of the Bank or another person (and the issue to, or conferral on, the Holder of the Securities of such shares, securities or obligations); and/or (iii) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the
Securities, or amendment of the amount of interest due on the Securities, or the dates on which interest becomes 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 Securities solely to give effect to the exercise by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of such U.K. Bail-In Power. Each Holder of the Securities
further acknowledges and agrees that the rights of the Holders of the Securities 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 of the Securities 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. 

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the
exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Bank under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and
the European Union applicable to the Bank. 
 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities, to the extent permitted
by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), waives any and all claims against the Trustee for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the Trustee in respect of, and agrees that the Trustee shall 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
Securities. 
 Upon the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority
with respect to the Securities, the Bank shall provide a written notice to DTC as soon as practicable regarding such exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power for purposes of notifying Holders of such occurrence. The
Bank shall also deliver a copy of such notice to the Trustee for information purposes. 

  
 Exhibit B-13 

 By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that
the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of Defaults) and
Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture Act. 
 By its acquisition of the Securities, each
Holder of the Securities acknowledges and agrees that, upon the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities, (a) the Trustee shall not be
required to take any further directions from Holders of the Securities under Section 5.12 (Control by Holders) of the Indenture, which section authorizes Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities to
direct certain actions relating to the Securities, and (b) the Indenture shall impose no duties upon the Trustee whatsoever with respect to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K.
Resolution Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following the completion of the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority in respect of the Securities, the
Securities remain Outstanding (for example, if the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power results in only a partial write-down of the principal of such Securities), then the Trustee’s duties under the
Indenture shall remain applicable with respect to the Securities following such completion to the extent that the Bank and the Trustee shall agree pursuant to a supplemental indenture or an amendment thereto. 

By its acquisition of the Securities, each Holder of the Securities shall be deemed to have (a) consented to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In Power as it may be imposed without any prior notice by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority of its decision to exercise such power with respect to the Securities and (b) authorized, directed and
requested DTC and any direct participant in DTC or other intermediary through which it holds the Securities to take any and all necessary action, if required, to implement the exercise of any U.K. Bail-In
Power with respect to the Securities as it may be imposed, without any further action or direction on the part of such Holder or the Trustee. 

The exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the
Securities shall not constitute an Event of Default (as this term is defined in the Indenture). 
 References to “Holder” in each
of the nine preceding paragraphs include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 
 The Bank’s obligations to indemnify the Trustee in
accordance with Section 6.07 the Indenture shall survive the exercise of the U.K. Bail-In Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority with respect to the Securities. 

  
 Exhibit B-14 

 Holders of Securities that acquire such Securities in the secondary market shall be deemed to
acknowledge, agree to be bound by, and consent to, the same provisions specified in this Security and the Indenture to the same extent as the Holders of the Securities that acquire the Securities upon their initial issuance, including, without
limitation, with respect to the acknowledgement and agreement to be bound by, and consent to, the terms of the Securities, including in relation to the U.K. Bail-In Power. References to “Holder” in
this paragraph include Beneficial Owners of the Securities. 
 The Securities shall constitute the Bank’s direct, unconditional,
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations ranking pari passu without any preference among themselves. In the event of the Bank’s winding-up or administration, the Securities shall rank pari
passu with all of the Bank’s other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, present and future, except such obligations as are preferred by operation of law. 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations
of the Bank and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Bank and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority principal amount of the Securities at any time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series at any time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities
of such series, to waive compliance by the Bank with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding
upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have any right to institute any
proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, and, in the case of a proceeding for the winding-up of the Bank in England, such proceeding is in the name and on behalf of the Trustee to the same extent (but no further or otherwise) as the
Trustee would have been entitled so to do. The foregoing 

  
 Exhibit B-15 

 
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or
provided for herein. 
 Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in this Security, nothing shall impair the right of a Holder of this
Security under the Trust Indenture Act, absent such Holder’s consent, to sue for any payments due but unpaid with respect to this Security. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Senior
Debt Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Bank in any place where the principal of this Security is payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bank and the Senior Debt Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 This Security, and
any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $200,000 and increments of $1,000 thereafter. The denominations cannot be changed without the consent of the
Trustee. 
 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Bank may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
 Prior to due presentment of this Security for
registration of transfer, the Bank, the Trustee and any agent of the Bank or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the
Bank, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This Security shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
