Investment Description

 

· Linked to the lowest performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index (each referred to as an “Index”)

 

· Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not guarantee any return of principal at stated maturity and are subject to potential automatic call prior to stated maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon, whether the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity and, if the securities are not automatically called, whether you are repaid the original offering price of your securities at stated maturity will depend in each case on the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Index on any calculation day is the Index that has the lowest performance factor on that calculation day, calculated for each Index as the closing level of that Index on that calculation day divided by its starting level.

 

· Contingent Coupon. The securities will pay a contingent coupon on a quarterly basis until the earlier of stated maturity or automatic call if the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the calculation day for the relevant quarter is greater than or equal to its threshold level. However, if the closing level of the lowest performing Index on a calculation day is less than its threshold level, you will not receive any contingent coupon for the relevant quarter. The contingent coupon rate is 9.33% per annum.

 

· Automatic Call. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on any of the quarterly calculation days from June 2022 to September 2024, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting level, the securities will be automatically called for the original offering price plus the contingent coupon payment otherwise due. The securities will not be subject to automatic call until approximately six months after their issue date.

 

· Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the original offering price at stated maturity if the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold level. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its threshold level, you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the original offering price of your securities.

 

· The threshold level of each Index is equal to 75% of its starting level.

 

· You will not participate in any appreciation of any Index.

 

· Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Index that is the lowest performing Index on each calculation day. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Indices. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Index performs poorly, even if the other Indices perform favorably.

 

· 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 in the PS) by the relevant U.K. resolution authority, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” and “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in the PS and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

 

· No periodic interest payments or dividends

 

· No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

1 The issuer’s estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, based on its internal pricing models, is $954.40 per security. The estimated value is less than the original offering price of the securities. See “Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities” on page PS-6 of the PS.

THIS FINAL TERM SHEET SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS, PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT, PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT ADDENDUM, UNDERLYING SUPPLEMENT AND PS. The securities will have the terms specified in the prospectus dated August 1, 2019, the prospectus supplement dated August 1, 2019, the prospectus supplement addendum dated February 18, 2021 and the underlying supplement dated August 1, 2019, as supplemented or superseded by the PS. The securities have complex features, and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities.

The securities constitute our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The securities are not deposit liabilities of Barclays Bank PLC and are not covered by the U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme or insured by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or deposit insurance agency of the United States, the United Kingdom or any other jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding and to the exclusion of any other term of the securities or any other agreements, arrangements or understandings between Barclays Bank PLC and any holder or beneficial owner of the securities, by acquiring the securities, each holder and beneficial owner 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. See “Consent to U.K. Bail-in Power” in the PS.

 

 

How the lowest performing Index is determined

 

The lowest performing Index on any calculation day is the Index that has the lowest performance factor on that calculation day, calculated for each Index as the closing level of that Index on that calculation day divided by its starting level.

 

How contingent coupon payments are calculated

 

On each contingent coupon payment date, you will receive a contingent coupon payment at a per annum rate equal to the contingent coupon rate if the closing level of the lowest performing Index on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold level.

 

Each “contingent coupon payment,” if any, will be calculated per security as follows:

 

($1,000 × contingent coupon rate) / 4

 

The contingent coupon rate is 9.33% per annum. Any contingent coupon payments will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.

 

If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on any calculation day is less than its threshold level, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. If the closing level of the lowest performing Index is less than its threshold level on all quarterly calculation days, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities.

 

Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any, even if the closing level of the lowest performing Index on any call date significantly exceeds its starting level. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Index.

 

How to determine if the securities will be automatically called

 

If the closing level of the lowest performing Index on any of the quarterly calculation days from June 2022 to September 2024, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting level, the securities will be automatically called, and on the related call settlement date you will be entitled to receive a cash payment per security in U.S. dollars equal to the original offering price plus the contingent coupon payment otherwise due. The securities will not be subject to automatic call until the second quarterly calculation day, which is approximately six months after the issue date.

 

If the securities are automatically called, they will cease to be outstanding on the related call settlement date and you will have no further rights under the securities after such call settlement date. You will not receive any notice from us if the securities are automatically called.

 

How the maturity payment amount is calculated

 

If the securities are not automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, you will receive on the stated maturity date a cash payment per security in U.S. dollars equal to the maturity payment amount (in addition to any contingent coupon payment otherwise due). The maturity payment amount per security will equal:

 

· if the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its threshold level: $1,000; or

 

· if the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its threshold level:

 

$1,000 × performance factor of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day

 

If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is less than its threshold level, you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the original offering price of your securities at stated maturity.

 

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.

 

 

 

Hypothetical Payout Profile

 

The profile to the right illustrates the potential payment at stated maturity on the securities (excluding any contingent coupon payment otherwise due) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day from its starting level to its ending level, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date.

 

This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to stated maturity. The performance of the better performing Indices is not relevant to your return on the securities.

 

 

Hypothetical Returns

 

If the securities are automatically called: If the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the original offering price of your securities plus the contingent coupon payment otherwise due. In the event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and the contingent coupon payment received on the call settlement date.

 

If the securities are not automatically called: If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical performance factors of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity per security (excluding any contingent coupon payment otherwise due). The performance factor of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day is calculated as its ending level divided by its starting level.

 

Hypothetical performance factor of lowest performing Index on final calculation day Hypothetical maturity payment amount per security
175.00% $1,000.00
150.00% $1,000.00
140.00% $1,000.00
130.00% $1,000.00
120.00% $1,000.00
110.00% $1,000.00
100.00% $1,000.00
90.00% $1,000.00
80.00% $1,000.00
75.00% $1,000.00
74.00% $740.00
70.00% $700.00
60.00% $600.00
50.00% $500.00
40.00% $400.00
25.00% $250.00

 

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity (excluding any contingent coupon payment otherwise due); any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.

 

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the actual amount you will receive at stated maturity will depend on the actual ending level of the lowest performing Index on the final calculation day. The performance of the better performing Indices is not relevant to your return on the securities.
