Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays Bank”) announced today that it plans to resume further issuances and sales by Barclays Bank and its affiliates of each series of iPath^® ETNs (the “ETNs”) listed in the table below, effective as of the open of trading on Monday, September 26, 2022. This action follows the announcements by Barclays Bank on March 14, 2022, April 22, 2022 and April 28, 2022 to suspend sales of the ETNs. As Barclays Bank indicated in its announcement on August 1, 2022, further issuances and sales of the ETNs are being resumed now that the rescission offer has been completed and settlement of the rescission offer with respect to the ETNs has occurred. Further issuances and sales of the ETNs will be made pursuant to Barclays Bank’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 23, 2022. As described below, this action may result in fluctuations in the trading value of the ETNs.

The market value of the ETNs may be influenced by, among other things, the levels of supply and demand for such ETNs. Recently, a premium or discount, as the case may be, has developed in the trading price of certain series of ETNs in relation to the intraday indicative value of such series. It is possible that this reopening of sales and issuances, or the announcement thereof, may influence the trading price of the ETNs or cause the premium or discount to decrease or to no longer be present, though it is not possible to predict such impact. In particular, if an investor paid a premium purchase price over the indicative value of the ETNs, it could lead to significant losses in the event an investor sells ETNs at a time when such premium is no longer present in the marketplace or if Barclays Bank redeems the ETNs at its discretion.

The pricing supplement and prospectus relating to each series of ETNs can be found on EDGAR, the SEC website at www.sec.gov, as well as on the product website at the product page for each of the ETNs listed in the tables above at ipathetn.barclays.

An investment in the ETNs involves significant risks and may not be suitable for all investors. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and do not benefit from any principal protection. For more information on risks associated with the ETNs, please see “Selected Risk Considerations” below and the risk factors included in the relevant pricing supplement.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the ETNs described herein involves risks. Selected risks are summarized here, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and pricing supplement.

You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal: The ETNs are exposed to any change in the level of the underlying index between the inception date and the applicable valuation date. Additionally, if the level of the underlying index is insufficient to offset the negative effect of the investor fee and other applicable costs, you will lose some or all of your investment at maturity or upon redemption, even if the value of such index has increased or decreased, as the case may be. Because the ETNs are subject to an investor fee and other applicable costs, the return on the ETNs will always be lower than the total return on a direct investment in the index components. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no principal protection.

Credit of Barclays Bank PLC: The ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of Barclays Bank PLC and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of or guaranteed by any third party. Any payment to be made on the ETNs, including any payment at maturity or upon redemption, depends on the ability of Barclays Bank PLC to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of Barclays Bank PLC will affect the market value, if any, of the ETNs prior to maturity or redemption. In addition, if Barclays Bank PLC were to default on its obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the ETNs.

Issuer Redemption: If specified in the applicable prospectus, Barclays Bank PLC will have the right to redeem or call the ETNs (in whole but not in part) at its sole discretion and without your consent on any trading day on or after the inception date until and including maturity.

Market and Volatility Risk: The market value of the ETNs may be influenced by many unpredictable factors and may fluctuate between the date you purchase them and the maturity date or redemption date. You may also sustain a significant loss if you sell your ETNs in the secondary market. Factors that may influence the market value of the ETNs include prevailing market prices of the commodity markets, the U.S. stock markets or the U.S. Treasury market, the index components included in the underlying index, and prevailing market prices of options on such index or any other financial instruments related to such index; and supply and demand for the ETNs, including economic, financial, political, regulatory, geographical or judicial events that affect the level of such index or other financial instruments related to such index.

A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Develop: Although the ETNs are listed on a U.S. national securities exchange, a trading market for the ETNs may not develop and the liquidity of the ETNs may be limited, as we are not required to maintain any listing of the ETNs.

No Interest Payments from the ETNs: You may not receive any interest payments on the ETNs.

Restrictions on the Minimum Number of ETNs and Date Restrictions for Redemptions: Except as specified in the pricing supplement, you must redeem at least the minimum number of ETNs specified in the pricing supplement at one time in order to exercise your right to redeem your ETNs on any redemption date. You may only redeem your ETNs on a redemption date if we receive a notice of redemption from you by certain dates and times as set forth in the pricing supplement.

Uncertain Tax Treatment: Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the ETNs are uncertain. You should consult your own tax advisor about your own tax situation.

The ETNs may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through any brokerage account. Commissions may apply and there are tax consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of ETNs. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses.
