Barclays Bank PLC to Redeem Three Canada-Listed ETNs

Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) announced today the redemption price for each of the three Toronto Stock Exchange-listed iPath^® exchange traded notes (ETNs) that Barclays previously announced that it will redeem on May 23, 2014 (the “redemption date”).

As described in the prospectus and related pricing supplement for each ETN (together, the “prospectus”), holders of the ETNs on the redemption date will receive a cash payment per equal to the redemption price, which is the closing indicative value of the ETN on May 15, 2014, which is the valuation date that is five business days prior to the redemption date. Please refer to the prospectus relating to each issue of ETNs for a description of how the closing indicative value was calculated after notice of issuer redemption of the ETNs was provided.

The redemption price for each of the three ETNs as determined on May 15, 2014 is as follows:

An investment in the ETNs involves significant risks and may not be suitable for all investors. For more information on risks associated with the ETNs, please see "Selected Risk Considerations" below and the risk factors included in the relevant prospectus.

For more information regarding the issuer redemption, including how the amount paid on the redemption date is determined, see the prospectus relating to each of the ETNs under the heading “Specific Terms of the ETNs - Payment Upon Holder Redemption and Issuer Redemption.” The prospectus relating to each of the ETNs can be found on SEDAR at: www.sedar.com.

Selected Risk Considerations

An investment in the iPath ETNs described herein (the “ETNs”) 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.

You May Lose Some or All of Your Principal: The ETNs are exposed to any decrease 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. Because the ETNs are subject to an investor fee and any 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.

The ETNs Are Not Insured Deposit Liabilities: The ETNs are not deposit liabilities of Barclays Bank PLC and are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction.

Credit of Barclays Bank PLC: The ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, 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, in the event 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: Barclays Bank PLC will have the right to redeem or “call” a series of ETNs (in whole but not in part) at its sole discretion and without your consent on any business day on or after the inception date until and including maturity.

A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Develop: Although the ETNs are listed on the Toronto Stock 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: You must redeem at least 25,000 or 50,000 (depending on the series) ETNs of the same series 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 prospectus.

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.
