Barclays Bank PLC Trigger Phoenix Autocallable Optimization Securities
$3,175,900 Securities linked to the common stock of Microsoft Corporation due March 19, 2020
$4,474,500  Securities linked to the common stock of Exxon Mobil Corporation due March 19, 2020

Investment Description
Trigger Phoenix Autocallable Optimization Securities (the “Securities”) are unsecured and unsubordinated debt securities issued by Barclays Bank PLC (the “Issuer”) linked to the performance of the common stock of a specific company (the “Underlying Equity”). On a monthly basis, unless the Securities have been previously called, the Issuer will pay you a coupon (the “Contingent Coupon”) if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the applicable Observation Date is greater than or equal to the specified Coupon Barrier. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that month. The Issuer will automatically call the Securities if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on any Observation Date (monthly, beginning on March 14, 2016) is greater than or equal to the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Trade Date (the “Initial Price”). If the Securities are automatically called, the Issuer will repay the principal amount of your Securities plus pay the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Call Settlement Date, and no further amounts will be owed to you under the Securities. If the Securities are not automatically called and the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the Final Valuation Date (the “Final Price”) is greater than or equal to the specified Trigger Price (which is set to equal the Coupon Barrier), the Issuer will pay you a cash payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of your Securities plus the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date. However, if the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, you will be exposed to the full decline in the Underlying Equity and the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount of the Securities at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return. Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your initial investment. The Trigger Price is observed relative to the Final Price only on the Final Valuation Date, and the contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Generally, the higher the Contingent Coupon Rate on a Security, the greater the risk of loss on that Security. Your return potential on the Securities is limited to any Contingent Coupons paid on the Securities, and you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Equity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC and is not guaranteed by any third party.  If Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power (as described on page PS-2 of this pricing supplement) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities. See “Consent to UK Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus addendum.

Key Dates
q   Contingent Coupon: Unless the Securities have been previously called, the Issuer will pay you a Contingent Coupon each month if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on the applicable Observation Date is greater than or equal to the specified Coupon Barrier. Otherwise, no coupon will be paid for that month.
q   Automatic Call: The Issuer will automatically call the Securities if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on any Observation Date (monthly, beginning on March 14, 2016) is greater than or equal to the Initial Price. If the Securities are automatically called, the Issuer will repay the principal amount of your Securities plus pay the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Call Settlement Date, and no further amounts will be owed to you under the Securities.
q   Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity: If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price, the Issuer will pay you a cash payment at maturity equal to the principal amount of your Securities plus the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date. However, if the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Issuer will repay less than your principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss of your initial investment that will be proportionate to the negative Underlying Return. The Trigger Price is observed relative to the Final Price only on the Final Valuation Date, and the contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC.

NOTICE TO INVESTORS: THE SECURITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RISKIER THAN CONVENTIONAL DEBT INSTRUMENTS. THE ISSUER IS NOT NECESSARILY OBLIGATED TO REPAY THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY, AND THE SECURITIES CAN HAVE THE FULL DOWNSIDE MARKET RISK OF THE UNDERLYING EQUITY. THIS MARKET RISK IS IN ADDITION TO THE CREDIT RISK INHERENT IN PURCHASING A DEBT OBLIGATION OF BARCLAYS BANK PLC.  YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THE SECURITIES IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS INVOLVED IN INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES.
YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED UNDER “KEY RISKS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PS-8 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT, “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE S-6 OF THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT AND “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE PA-1 OF THE PROSPECTUS ADDENDUM BEFORE PURCHASING ANY SECURITIES. EVENTS RELATING TO ANY OF THOSE RISKS, OR OTHER RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET VALUE OF, AND THE RETURN ON, YOUR SECURITIES. YOU MAY LOSE SOME OR ALL OF YOUR INITIAL INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES.  THE SECURITIES WILL NOT BE LISTED ON ANY SECURITIES EXCHANGE.
BY ACQUIRING THE SECURITIES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, AGREE TO BE BOUND BY AND CONSENT TO THE EXERCISE OF, ANY U.K. BAIL-IN POWER. SEE “CONSENT TO BAIL-IN POWER” ON PAGE PS-2 OF THIS PRICING SUPPLEMENT.

Additional Information about Barclays Bank PLC and the Securities
You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus dated July 19, 2013, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated July 19, 2013 and the prospectus addendum dated February 3, 2015 relating to our Global Medium-Term Securities, Series A, of which these Securities are a part. This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the Securities and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus addendum, as the Securities involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Securities.
 
If the terms discussed in this pricing supplement differ from those in the prospectus, prospectus supplement or prospectus addendum, the terms discussed herein will control.
 
You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if such address has changed, by reviewing our filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):
 
¨
Prospectus dated July 19, 2013:
 
¨
Prospectus supplement dated July 19, 2013:
 
¨
Prospectus addendum dated February 3, 2015:
 
Our SEC file number is 1-10257. References to “Barclays,” “Barclays Bank PLC,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer only to Barclays Bank PLC and not to its consolidated subsidiaries. In this document, “Securities” refers to the four different series of Trigger Phoenix Autocallable Optimization Securities that are offered hereby, unless the context otherwise requires.
 
Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities
Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables, such as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the Trade Date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the Securities might be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.
 
Our estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date is less than the initial issue price of the Securities. The difference between the initial issue price of the Securities and our estimated value of the Securities results from several factors, including any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Securities, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the Securities.
 
Our estimated value on the Trade Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may buy or sell the Securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
 
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Trade Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Securities in the secondary market, if any, and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value on the Trade Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately eight months after the initial issue date of the Securities because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities and other costs in connection with the Securities that we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the Securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Securities. The amount of our estimated costs that we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the initial issue date of the Securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
 
We urge you to read the “Key Risks” beginning on page PS-8 of this pricing supplement.
 

 
PS-2

 
 
 
Consent to UK Bail-in Power
Under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as recently amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power under certain conditions which, in summary, include that such authority determines that: (i) a relevant entity (such as the Issuer) is failing or is likely to fail, (ii) it is not reasonably likely that (ignoring the other stabilization powers under the U.K. Banking Act) any other action will be taken to avoid the entity’s failure, (iii) the exercise of the stabilization powers are necessary taking into account certain public interest considerations such as the stability of the U.K. financial system, public confidence in the U.K. banking system and the protection of depositors and (iv) the objectives of the resolution measures would not be met to the same extent by the winding up of the entity. Notwithstanding these conditions, there remains uncertainty regarding how the relevant U.K. resolution authority would assess these conditions in deciding whether to exercise any U.K. Bail-in Power. The U.K. Bail-in Power includes any statutory write-down and conversion power, which allows for the cancellation of all, or a portion, of any amounts payable on the Securities, including any repayment of principal and/or the conversion of all, or a portion, of any amounts payable on the Securities, including the repayment of principal, into shares or other securities or other obligations of ours or another person, including by means of a variation to the terms of the Securities. Accordingly, if any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised you may lose all or a part of the value of your investment in the Securities or receive a different security, which may be worth significantly less than the Securities and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded to debt securities. Moreover, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise its authority to implement the U.K. Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice to the holders of the Securities.
 
By your acquisition of the Securities, you acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.
 
This is only a summary. For more information, please see “Key Risks—You May Lose Some or All of Your Investment If Any U.K. Bail-in Power Is Exercised by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority” in this pricing supplement and the full definition of “U.K. Bail-in Power” as well as the risk
factors in the accompanying prospectus addendum.

¨   You fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the risk of loss of your entire initial investment.
 
¨   You can tolerate a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment and are willing to make an investment that may have the full downside market risk of an investment in the Underlying Equity.
 
¨   You believe the Underlying Equity is likely to close at or above the Coupon Barrier on the specified Observation Dates, and, if it does not, you can tolerate receiving few or no Contingent Coupons over the term of the Securities.
 
¨   You believe the Final Price is not likely to be less than the Trigger Price and, if it is, you can tolerate a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment.
 
¨   You understand and accept that you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Equity, which may be significant, and that your return potential on the Securities is limited to any Contingent Coupons paid on the Securities.
 
¨   You can tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Securities prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside price fluctuations of the Underlying Equity.
 
¨   You are willing and able to hold securities that will be called on the earliest Observation Date (monthly, beginning on March 14, 2016) on which the closing price of the Underlying Equity is greater than or equal to the Initial Price, and you are otherwise willing and able to hold the Securities to maturity and accept that there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities.
 
¨   You are willing to invest in the Securities based on the Coupon Barrier percentage (and corresponding Trigger Price percentage) specified on the cover of this pricing supplement.
 
¨   You do not seek guaranteed current income from this investment, and you are willing to forgo any dividends paid on the Underlying Equity.
 
¨   You are willing to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the Underlying Equity in particular.
 
¨   You are willing to assume the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Securities, for all payments under the Securities and understand that if Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power, you might not receive any amounts due to you, including any repayment of principal.
 
The Securities may not be suitable for you if:
 
¨   You do not fully understand the risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the risk of loss of your entire initial investment.
 
¨   You require an investment designed to provide a full return of principal at maturity, you cannot tolerate a loss of all or a substantial portion of your investment or you are not willing to make an investment that may have the full downside market risk of an investment in the Underlying Equity.
 
¨   You do not believe the Underlying Equity is likely to close at or above the Coupon Barrier on the specified Observation Dates, or you cannot tolerate receiving few or no Contingent Coupons over the term of the Securities.
 
¨   You believe the Final Price is likely to be less than the Trigger Price, which could result in a total loss of your initial investment.
 
¨  You seek an investment that participates in the full appreciation in the price of the Underlying Equity and whose return is not limited to any Contingent Coupons paid on the Securities.
 
¨   You cannot tolerate fluctuations in the price of the Securities prior to maturity that may be similar to or exceed the downside price fluctuations of the Underlying Equity.
 
¨   You are unable or unwilling to hold securities that will be called on the earliest Observation Date (monthly, beginning on March 14, 2016) on which the closing price of the Underlying Equity is greater than or equal to the Initial Price, or you are unable or unwilling to hold the Securities to maturity and seek an investment for which there will be an active secondary market.
 
¨   You are unwilling to invest in the Securities based on the Coupon Barrier percentage (and corresponding Trigger Price percentage) specified on the cover of this pricing supplement.
 
¨   You seek guaranteed current income from your investment, or you prefer to receive any dividends paid on the Underlying Equity.
 
¨   You prefer the lower risk, and therefore accept the potentially lower returns, of fixed income investments with comparable maturities and credit ratings.
 
¨   You are not willing to accept the risks of owning equities in general and the Underlying Equity in particular.
 
¨   You are not willing to assume the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Securities, for all payments under the Securities, including any repayment of principal.
 
The suitability considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the Securities are a suitable investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the suitability of an investment in the Securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Key Risks” beginning on page PS-8 of this pricing supplement as well as the “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of the prospectus supplement and the “Risk Factors” beginning on page PA-1 of the prospectus addendum for risks related to an investment in the Securities.

If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Issuer will pay you a cash payment on the Maturity Date per $10.00 principal amount Security that is less than your principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return; equal to:

Investment Timeline

 
Trade Date:
 
The closing price of the Underlying Equity (the Initial Price) is observed and the Coupon Barrier and Trigger Price are determined.
 
   
 
Monthly (callable beginning March 14, 2016):
 
If the closing price of the Underlying Equity is greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier on any Observation Date, the Issuer will pay you the Contingent Coupon applicable to such Observation Date.
 
The Issuer will automatically call the Securities if the closing price of the Underlying Equity on any Observation Date (monthly, beginning on March 14, 2016) is greater than or equal to the Initial Price. If the Securities are automatically called, the Issuer will repay the principal amount of your Securities plus pay the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Call Settlement Date, and no further amounts will be owed to you under the Securities.
 
   
 
Maturity Date:
 
The Final Price is determined as of the Final Valuation Date.
 
If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price (which equals the Coupon Barrier), the Issuer will pay you a cash payment on the Maturity Date equal to $10.00 per $10.00 principal amount Security plus the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date.
 
If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, the Issuer will pay you a cash payment on the Maturity Date per $10.00 principal amount Security that is less than your principal amount, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return; equal to:
 
$10.00 × (1 + Underlying Return)
 
Accordingly, you may lose all or a substantial portion of your principal at maturity, depending on how much the Underlying Equity declines.
 
Investing in the Securities involves significant risks. You may lose some or all of your initial investment. The Trigger Price is observed relative to the Final Price only on the Final Valuation Date, and the contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Generally, the higher the Contingent Coupon Rate on a Security, the greater the risk of loss on that Security. Your return potential on the Securities is limited to any Contingent Coupons paid on the Securities, and you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Equity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC and is not guaranteed by any third party.  If Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its payment obligations or become subject to the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the Securities.

Key Risks
An investment in the Securities involves significant risks. Investing in the Securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying Equity. These risks are explained in more detail in the “Risk Factors” sections of the accompanying prospectus supplement and prospectus addendum. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Securities.
 
¨
You may lose some or all of your principal — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that the Issuer will not necessarily pay the full principal amount of the Securities at maturity. If the Securities are not automatically called, the Issuer will pay you the principal amount of your Securities only if the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price and will make such payment only at maturity. If the Securities are not automatically called and the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price, you will be exposed to the full decline in the Underlying Equity and the Issuer will repay less than the full principal amount of the Securities at maturity, if anything, resulting in a loss of principal that is proportionate to the negative Underlying Return. Accordingly, you may lose some or all of your principal.
 
¨
You may not receive any Contingent Coupons — The Issuer will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments on the Securities. If the closing price of the Underlying Equity on an Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, the Issuer will not pay you the Contingent Coupon applicable to such Observation Date. If the closing price of the Underlying Equity is less than the Coupon Barrier on each of the Observation Dates, the Issuer will not pay you any Contingent Coupons during the term of the Securities, and you will not receive a positive return on your Securities. Generally, this non-payment of the Contingent Coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your Securities.
 
¨
Contingent repayment of principal applies only at maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. The market value of the Securities may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the Final Valuation Date. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the price of the Underlying Equity is above the Trigger Price.
 
¨
Your return potential on the Securities is limited to any Contingent Coupons paid on the Securities, and you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Equity — The return potential of the Securities is limited to the pre-specified per annum Contingent Coupon Rate, regardless of any appreciation of the Underlying Equity. In addition, the total return on the Securities will vary based on the number of Observation Dates on which the closing price of the Underlying Equity has been greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier prior to maturity or an automatic call. Further, if the Securities are automatically called pursuant to the automatic call feature, you will not receive Contingent Coupons or any other payment in respect of any Observation Dates after the applicable Call Settlement Date. If the Securities are not automatically called, you may be subject to the decline in the price of the Underlying Equity even though you cannot participate in any of the Underlying Equity’s appreciation. As a result, the return on an investment in the Securities could be less than the return on a direct investment in the Underlying Equity. Because the Securities could be called as early as the twelfth Observation Date, the total return on the Securities could be minimal.
 
¨
Reinvestment risk — If your Securities are automatically called early, the holding period over which you would receive the per annum Contingent Coupon Rate could be as short as approximately one year. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Securities in a comparable investment with a similar level of risk in the event the Securities are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date.
 
¨
Higher Contingent Coupon Rates are generally associated with a greater risk of loss — Greater expected volatility with respect to the Underlying Equity reflects a higher expectation as of the Trade Date that the price of the Underlying Equity could close below the Coupon Barrier on the Observation Dates or the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date. A higher Contingent Coupon Rate for a Security will generally be indicative of this greater expected risk. However, while the Contingent Coupon Rate is a fixed percentage, the Underlying Equity’s volatility may change significantly over the term of the Securities. The price of the Underlying Equity could fall sharply, which could result in a significant loss of principal.
 
¨
You may lose some or all of your investment if any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised by the relevant U.K. resolution authority — Under the U.K. Banking Act 2009, as recently amended, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise a U.K. Bail-in Power under certain conditions which, in summary, include that such authority determines that: (i) a relevant entity (such as the Issuer) is failing or is likely to fail, (ii) it is not reasonably likely that (ignoring the other stabilization powers under the U.K. Banking Act) any other action will be taken to avoid the entity’s failure, (iii) the exercise of the stabilization powers are necessary taking into account certain public interest considerations such as the stability of the U.K. financial system, public confidence in the U.K. banking system and the protection of depositors and (iv) the objectives of the resolution measures would not be met to the same extent by the winding up of the entity. Notwithstanding these conditions, there remains uncertainty regarding how the relevant U.K. resolution authority would assess these conditions in deciding whether to exercise any U.K. Bail-in Power. The U.K. Bail-in Power includes any statutory write-down and conversion power, which allows for the cancellation of all, or a portion, of any amounts payable on the Securities, including any repayment of principal and/or the conversion of all, or a portion, of any amounts payable on the Securities, including the repayment of principal, into shares or other securities or other obligations of ours or another person, including by means of a variation to the terms of the Securities. Accordingly, if any U.K. Bail-in Power is exercised you may lose all or a part of the value of your investment in the Securities or receive a different security, which may be worth significantly less than the Securities and which may have significantly fewer protections than those typically afforded to debt securities. Moreover, the relevant U.K. resolution authority may exercise its authority to implement the U.K. Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice to the holders of the Securities.
 
By your acquisition of the Securities, you acknowledge, agree to be bound by and consent to the exercise of, any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority.  The exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities will not be a default or an Event of Default (as each term is defined in the indenture) and the trustee will not be liable for any action that the trustee takes, or abstains from taking, in either case, in accordance with the exercise of the U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority with respect to the Securities. Accordingly, your rights as a holder of the Securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, so as to give effect to, the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the relevant U.K. resolution authority. Please see “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in this pricing supplement and the risk factors in the accompanying prospectus addendum for more information.
 
 
 
PS-8

 
 
 
¨
Credit of Issuer — The Securities are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Issuer, Barclays Bank PLC, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party.  Any payment to be made on the Securities, including any repayment of principal, depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due and is not guaranteed by any third party.  As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC may affect the market value of the Securities and, in the event Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you might not receive any amount owed to you under the terms of the Securities.
 
¨
Single equity risk — The price of the Underlying Equity can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the Underlying Equity and its issuer, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically with the SEC by the issuer of the Underlying Equity.
 
¨
Owning the Securities is not the same as owning the Underlying Equity — The return on your Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the Underlying Equity. For instance, as a holder of the Securities, you will not have voting rights, rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or any other rights that holders of the Underlying Equity would have. Further, you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Equity, which could be significant even though you may be exposed to any decline of the Underlying Equity at maturity.
 
¨
Dealer incentives — We, the Agents and affiliates of the Agents act in various capacities with respect to the Securities. The Agents and various affiliates may act as a principal, agent or dealer in connection with the Securities. Such Agents, including the sales representatives of UBS Financial Services Inc., will derive compensation from the distribution of the Securities and such compensation may serve as an incentive to sell these Securities instead of other investments. We will pay compensation as specified on the cover of this pricing supplement to the Agents in connection with the distribution of the Securities, and such compensation may be passed on to affiliates of the Agents or other third party distributors.
 
¨
There may be little or no secondary market for the Securities — The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC intend to make a secondary market for the Securities but are not required to do so, and may discontinue any such secondary market making at any time, without notice. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Securities easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the Securities, the price at which you may be able to trade your Securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which Barclays Capital Inc. and other affiliates of Barclays Bank PLC are willing to buy the Securities. The Securities are not designed to be short-term trading instruments. Accordingly, you should be able and willing to hold your Securities to maturity.
 
¨
Potential conflicts — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including acting as Calculation Agent and hedging our obligations under the Securities. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities.
 
¨
Potentially inconsistent research, opinions or recommendations by Barclays Capital Inc., UBS Financial Services Inc. or their respective affiliates — Barclays Capital Inc., UBS Financial Services Inc. or their respective affiliates and agents may publish research from time to time on financial markets and other matters that may influence the value of the Securities, or express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Securities. Any research, opinions or recommendations expressed by Barclays Capital Inc., UBS Financial Services Inc. or their respective affiliates or agents may not be consistent with each other and may be modified from time to time without notice. You should make your own independent investigation of the merits of investing in the Securities and the Underlying Equity.
 
¨
No assurance that the investment view implicit in the Securities will be successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the price of the Underlying Equity will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the Underlying Equity price will not close below the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date. The price of the Underlying Equity will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the Underlying Equity. You should be willing to accept the downside risks of owning equities in general and the Underlying Equity in particular, and the risk of losing some or all of your initial investment.
 
¨
Potential Barclays Bank PLC impact on the market price of the Underlying Equity — Trading or transactions by Barclays Bank PLC or its affiliates in the Underlying Equity and/or over-the-counter options, futures or other instruments with returns linked to the performance of the Underlying Equity may adversely affect the market price of the Underlying Equity and, therefore, the market value of the Securities.
 
¨
Antidilution adjustments — For certain corporate events affecting the Underlying Equity, the Calculation Agent may make adjustments to the amount payable on the Securities. However, the Calculation Agent will not make such adjustments in response to all events that could affect the Underlying Equity. If an event occurs that does not require the Calculation Agent to make such adjustments, the value of the Securities may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, all determinations and calculations concerning any such adjustments will be made in the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent, which will be binding on you absent manifest error. The Calculation Agent may make any such adjustment, determination or calculation in a manner that differs from that discussed in this pricing supplement or the prospectus supplement as necessary to achieve an equitable result.
 
¨
In some circumstances, the payment you receive on the Securities may be based on the shares of another company and not the Underlying Equity — Following certain corporate events relating to the issuer of the Underlying Equity where the issuer is not the surviving entity, your return on the Securities paid by the Issuer may be based on the shares of a successor to the Underlying Equity issuer or any cash or any other assets distributed to holders of the Underlying Equity in such corporate event. The occurrence of these corporate events and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of the Securities. For more information, see “Reference Assets — Equity Securities — Share Adjustments Relating to Securities with an Equity Security as the Reference Asset” in the prospectus supplement.

 
 
PS-9

 

 
¨
Many economic and market factors will impact the value of the Securities — In addition to the price of the Underlying Equity on any day, the value of the Securities will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, including:
 
 
¨
the expected volatility of the Underlying Equity;
 
 
¨
the time to maturity of the Securities;
 
 
¨
the dividend rate on the Underlying Equity;
 
 
¨
interest and yield rates in the market generally;
 
 
¨
supply and demand for the Securities;
 
 
¨
a variety of economic, financial, political, regulatory and judicial events; and
 
 
¨
our creditworthiness, including actual or anticipated downgrades in our credit ratings.
 
¨
The estimated value of your Securities is lower than the initial issue price of your Securities — The estimated value of your Securities on the Trade Date is lower than the initial issue price of your Securities. The difference between the initial issue price of your Securities and the estimated value of the Securities is a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions to be paid to Barclays Capital Inc. or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Securities, the estimated cost that we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Securities, and estimated development and other costs that we may incur in connection with the Securities.
 
¨
The estimated value of your Securities might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market — The estimated value of your Securities on the Trade Date is based on a number of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated value referenced above might be lower if such estimated value were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Also, this difference in funding rate as well as certain factors, such as sales commissions, selling concessions, estimated costs and profits mentioned below, reduces the economic terms of the Securities to you.
 
¨
The estimated value of the Securities is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions — The estimated value of your Securities on the Trade Date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the Securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your Securities may be materially different from the estimated value of the Securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models.
 
¨
The estimated value of your Securities is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your Securities in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Securities and may be lower than the estimated value of your Securities — The estimated value of the Securities will not be a prediction of the prices at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your Securities in the secondary market at any time will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the Securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your Securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related to the Securities such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the Securities, secondary market prices of your Securities will likely be lower than the initial issue price of your Securities. As a result, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc., other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Securities, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
 
¨
The temporary price at which we may initially buy the Securities in the secondary market and the value we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may not be indicative of future prices of your SecuritiesAssuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Trade Date, the price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Securities in the secondary market (if Barclays Capital Inc. makes a market in the Securities, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements, if we provide any customer account statements at all, may exceed our estimated value of the Securities on the Trade Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Securities, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the Securities. The price at which Barclays Capital Inc. may initially buy or sell the Securities in the secondary market and the value that we may initially use for customer account statements may not be indicative of future prices of your Securities. Please see “Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities” on page PS-2 for further information.
 
¨
We and our affiliates may engage in various activities or make determinations that could materially affect your Securities in various ways and create conflicts of interest — We and our affiliates establish the offering price of the Securities for initial sale to the public, and the offering price is not based upon any independent verification or valuation. Additionally, the role played by Barclays Capital Inc., as a dealer in the Securities, could present it with significant conflicts of interest with the role of Barclays Bank PLC, as issuer of the Securities. For example, Barclays Capital Inc. or its representatives may derive compensation or financial benefit from the distribution of the Securities and such compensation or financial benefit may serve as an incentive to sell these Securities instead of other investments. We may pay dealer compensation to any of our affiliates acting as agents or dealers in connection with the distribution of

the Securities. Furthermore, we and our affiliates make markets in and trade various financial instruments or products for their own accounts and for the account of their clients and otherwise provide investment banking and other financial services with respect to these financial instruments and products. These financial instruments and products may include securities, instruments or assets that may serve as the underliers, basket underliers or constituents of the underliers of the Securities. Such market making, trading activities, other investment banking and financial services may negatively impact the value of the Securities. Furthermore, in any such market making, trading activities, and other services, we or our affiliates may take positions or take actions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of the holders of the Securities. We and our affiliates have no obligation to take the needs of any buyer, seller or holder of the Securities into account in conducting these activities.
 
¨
Tax treatment — Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Securities are uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor about your tax situation. See “What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?” on page PS-15 of this pricing supplement.

Hypothetical Examples
The examples below illustrate the payment upon a call or at maturity for a $10.00 principal amount Security on a hypothetical offering of the Securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions as set forth below.* We cannot predict the closing price of the Underlying Equity on any day during the term of the Securities, including on any Observation Date. You should not take these examples as an indication or assurance of the expected performance of the Securities. Numbers in the examples below have been rounded for ease of analysis. The examples below do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the Securities.
 
Principal Amount:
$10.00
Term:
Approximately five years (unless called earlier)
Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Rate:
6.00% per annum (or 0.50% per month)
Hypothetical Contingent Coupon:
$0.05 per month
Hypothetical Initial Price:
$100.00
Hypothetical Coupon Barrier:
$80.00 (which is 80% of the hypothetical Initial Price)
Hypothetical Trigger Price:
$80.00 (which is 80% of the hypothetical Initial Price)
Observation Dates:
Observation Dates will occur monthly as set forth under “Final Terms” and “Observation Dates/Coupon Payment Dates/Call Settlement Dates” in this pricing supplement and will be callable beginning on the twelfth observation date.
 

*
Terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples may not represent the actual Contingent Coupon Rate per annum, Initial Price, Coupon Barrier or Trigger Price applicable to the Securities. The actual Contingent Coupon Rate, Initial Price, Coupon Barrier and Trigger Price applicable to each Security offering are set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement.
 
The examples below are purely hypothetical and are not based on any specific offering of Securities linked to any specific Underlying Equity. These examples are intended to illustrate (a) under what circumstances the Securities will be subject to an automatic call, (b) how the payment of a Contingent Coupon with respect to any Observation Date will depend on whether the closing price of the Underlying Equity on such Observation Date is less than the Coupon Barrier, (c) how the value of the payment at maturity on the Securities will depend on whether the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price and (d) how the total return on the Securities may be less than the total return on a direct investment in the applicable Underlying Equity in certain scenarios.  The “total return” as used in this pricing supplement is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the total payments per $10.00 principal amount Security over the term of the Securities to the $10.00 initial issue price.
 
Example 1 — Securities Are Automatically Called on the Twelfth Observation Date
 
Date
 
Closing Price
 
Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date
 
$105.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity above Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity above Coupon Barrier; Issuer pays Contingent Coupon of $0.05 on first Coupon Payment Date.
Second Observation Date
 
$60.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on second Coupon Payment Date.
Third to Eleventh Observation Dates
 
Various (at or above $80.00 Coupon Barrier)
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Dates are prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity above Coupon Barrier; Issuer pays Contingent Coupon of $0.05 on each of the third to eleventh Coupon Payment Dates.
Twelfth Observation Date
 
$110.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity at or above Initial Price; Securities are automatically called; Issuer repays principal plus pays Contingent Coupon of $0.05 on Call Settlement Date.
Total Payments (per $10.00 Security):
 
Payment on Call Settlement Date:
$10.05 ($10.00 + $0.05)
   
Prior Contingent Coupons:
$0.50 ($0.05 × 10)
   
Total:
$10.55
   
Total Return:
5.50%
 
Because the closing price of the Underlying Equity is greater than or equal to the Initial Price on the twelfth Observation Date (which is approximately one year after the Trade Date and is the first Observation Date on which the Securities are callable), the Securities are automatically called on that Observation Date. The Issuer will pay you on the Call Settlement Date $10.05 per $10.00 principal amount Security, which is equal to your principal amount plus the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Call Settlement Date. No further amounts will be owed to you under the Securities.
 
In addition, because the closing price of the Underlying Equity was greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier on the first and third through eleventh Observation Dates, the Issuer will pay the Contingent Coupon of $0.05 on the first and each of the third through eleventh Coupon Payment Dates. However, because the closing price of the Underlying Equity was less than the Coupon Barrier on the second Observation Date, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Coupon Payment Date following that Observation Date.  Accordingly, the Issuer will have paid a total of $10.55 per Security for a 5.50% total return on the Securities.

Second Observation Date
 
$60.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on second Coupon Payment Date.
Third Observation Date
 
$55.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on third Coupon Payment Date.
Fourth to Fifty-Ninth Observation Dates
 
Various (below $80.00 Coupon Barrier)
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable through eleventh Observation Date and not automatically called thereafter.

Sixtieth Observation Date (the Final Valuation Date)
 
$85.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically called. Final Price above Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier; Issuer repays principal plus pays Contingent Coupon of $0.05 on Maturity Date.
Total Payments (per $10.00 Security):
 
Payment at Maturity:
$10.05 ($10.00 + $0.05)
   
Prior Contingent Coupons:
$0.05 ($0.05 × 1)

Total Return:

Because the closing price of the Underlying Equity was less than the Initial Price on each Observation Date on and after the twelfth Observation Date (which is approximately one year after the Trade Date and is the first Observation Date on which the Securities are callable), the Securities are not automatically called. Because the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Trigger Price and Coupon Barrier, the Issuer will pay you on the Maturity Date $10.05 per $10.00 principal amount Security, which is equal to your principal amount plus the Contingent Coupon due on the Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date.
 
In addition, because the closing price of the Underlying Equity was greater than or equal to the Coupon Barrier on the first Observation Date, the Issuer will pay the Contingent Coupon of $0.05 on the first Coupon Payment Date. However, because the closing price of the Underlying Equity was less than the Coupon Barrier on the second Observation Date, the third Observation Date and the fourth through fifty-ninth Observation Dates, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Coupon Payment Dates following those Observation Dates.  Accordingly, the Issuer will have paid a total of $10.10 per Security for a 1.00% total return on the Securities.

Closing Price
 
Payment (per Security)
First Observation Date
 
$60.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on first Coupon Payment Date.
Second Observation Date
 
$65.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on second Coupon Payment Date.
Third Observation Date
 
$60.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable because Observation Date is prior to the twelfth Observation Date. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on third Coupon Payment Date.
Fourth to Fifty-Ninth Observation Dates
 
Various (below $80.00 Coupon Barrier)
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically callable through eleventh Observation Date and not automatically called thereafter. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on any of the fourth to fifty-ninth Coupon Payment Dates.
Sixtieth Observation Date (the Final Valuation Date)
 
$45.00
 
Closing price of Underlying Equity below Initial Price; Securities NOT automatically called. Closing price of Underlying Equity below Coupon Barrier and Trigger Price; Issuer DOES NOT pay Contingent Coupon on Maturity Date, and Issuer will repay less than the principal amount resulting in a loss proportionate to the decline of the Underlying Equity.
Total Payments (per $10.00 Security):
 
Payment at Maturity:
$4.50
   
Prior Contingent Coupons:
$0.00
   
Total:
$4.50
   
Total Return:
-55.00%
     
 
Because the closing price of the Underlying Equity is less than the Initial Price on each Observation Date on and after the twelfth Observation Date (which is approximately one year after the Trade Date and is the first Observation Date on which the Securities are callable), the Securities are not automatically called. Because the Final Price is less than the Trigger Price on the Final Valuation Date, at maturity, the Issuer will pay you a total of $4.50 per $10.00 principal amount, for a -55.00% total return on the Securities, calculated as follows:
 
$10.00 × (1 + Underlying Return) = $10.00 × (1 + -55.00%) = $4.50
 
In addition, because the closing price of the Underlying Equity is less than the Coupon Barrier on each Observation Date, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupons over the term of the Securities.

What Are the Tax Consequences of an Investment in the Securities?
You should review carefully the sections entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Derivative Contracts” and, if you are a non-U.S. holder, “—Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders,” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The following discussion supersedes the discussion in the accompanying prospectus supplement to the extent it is inconsistent therewith.
 
In determining our reporting responsibilities, if any, we intend to treat (i) the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes as prepaid forward contracts with associated contingent coupons and (ii) any Contingent Coupons as ordinary income, as described in the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Certain Notes Treated as Forward Contracts or Derivative Contracts” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Our special tax counsel, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, has advised that it believes this treatment to be reasonable, but that there are other reasonable treatments that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or a court may adopt.
 
Sale, Exchange or Redemption of a Security. Assuming the treatment described above is respected, upon a sale or exchange of the Securities (including redemption upon an automatic call or at maturity), you should recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and your tax basis in the Securities, which should equal the amount you paid to acquire the Securities (assuming Contingent Coupons are properly treated as ordinary income, consistent with the position referred to above). This gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss unless you hold the Securities for more than one year, in which case the gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss, whether or not you are an initial purchaser of the Securities at the issue price. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. If you sell your Securities between the time your right to a Contingent Coupon is fixed and the time it is paid, it is likely that you will be treated as receiving ordinary income equal to the Contingent Coupon. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your Securities prior to an Observation Date but that can be attributed to an expected Contingent Coupon payment could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this issue.
 
As noted above, there are other reasonable treatments that the IRS or a court may adopt, in which case the timing and character of any income or loss on the Securities could be materially affected. In addition, in 2007 the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require investors in these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments and the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by this notice.
 
Non-U.S. Holders. Insofar as we have responsibility as a withholding agent, we do not currently intend to treat Contingent Coupon payments to non-U.S. holders (as defined in the accompanying prospectus supplement) as subject to U.S. withholding tax. However, non-U.S. holders should in any event expect to be required to provide appropriate Forms W-8 or other documentation in order to establish an exemption from backup withholding, as described under the heading “—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. If any withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to amounts withheld.
 
Non-U.S. holders should also note that recently proposed Treasury regulations could impose a 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding tax on amounts paid or deemed paid after December 31, 2015 that are treated as attributable to U.S.-source dividends on equities underlying financial instruments such as the Securities. While it is not clear whether or in what form these regulations will be finalized, under recent Treasury guidance, these regulations would not apply to the Securities. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these proposed regulations.
