The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including the Base Prospectus) and the Preliminary Prospectus
Supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for this offering. Before you invest, you should read the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement for this offering in that registration statement, and
other documents the Issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by searching the SEC online database (EDGAR) at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, you may
obtain a copy of the Base Prospectus and the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement from Barclays Capital Inc. by calling
+1-888-603-5847.
It is expected that delivery of the 2027 notes will be made, against payment of the 2027 notes, on or about September 13, 2023, which
will be the fifth (5th) business day in the United States following the date of pricing of the 2027 notes. Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, purchases or sales of 2027 notes in the
secondary market generally are required to settle within two (2) business days (T+2), unless the parties to any such transaction expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers of the 2027 notes who wish to trade the 2027 notes on the date
of the prospectus supplement or the next two (2) succeeding business days, will be required, because the 2027 notes initially will settle within five (5) business days (T+5) in the United States, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at
the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the 2027 notes who wish to trade on the date of the prospectus supplement or the next succeeding business day should consult their own legal advisers.

effect any offers or sales of any 2027 notes in the United States, it will do so through one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers in accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws and regulations.
