Governing Law / Jurisdiction Swiss Taxation

Swiss law The following is a summary only of the Issuers understanding of current law and practice in Switzerland relating to the taxation of the Certificates. It does not address the tax consequences of an investment in the Certificates in any other jurisdiction than Switzerland. Because this summary does not address all tax considerations under Swiss law and does not consider the specific tax situation of an investor, prospective investors are recommended to consult their personal tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, sale or redemption of the Certificates including, in particular, the effect of tax laws of any other jurisdiction. An investor shall be liable for all current and future taxes and duties resulting from an investment in the Certificates. The Certificates are not subject to Swiss Securities Issuance Tax (Emissionsabgabe) and income derived from the Certificates is not subject to Swiss Withholding Tax (Verrechnungssteuer). They are, however, subject to Swiss Securities Transfer Tax (Umsatzabgabe) at a current rate of up to 0.15%, calculated on the purchase price or sales proceeds, respectively, upon purchase or sale of the Certificates, whether by Swiss resident or non-Swiss resident investors, if the purchase or sale occurs through or with a Swiss bank or a Swiss securities dealer, and no exemption applies. For private investors resident in Switzerland holding the Certificates as private assets, the increase of the value of the bond part when sold before maturity, called by the Issuer before maturity or redeemed at maturity (calculated according to the so-called Modifizierte Differenzbesteuerung) is subject to Swiss income tax (Einkommenssteuer). The net present value for the guaranteed bond component at redemption or sale is calculated by the Issuer on the Trade Date.

3. Significant Risks for the Investor


Product Specific Risks An investment in the Securities is only suitable for potential investors who (i) have the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of such an investment; (ii) have access to, and knowledge of, the appropriate analytical tools to evaluate such merits and risks; (iii) understand thoroughly the terms of these Securities ; (iv) are capable of bearing the economic risk of an investment in the Securities ; and (v) recognize that it may not be possible to dispose of the Securities for a substantial period of time, if at all before maturity. The value of the Securities is determined not only by changes in market prices, changes in the price of an underlying, but also by several other factors. More than one risk factor can influence the value of the Securities at any one time, so that the effect of an individual risk factor cannot be predicted. Moreover, more than one risk factor may have a compounding effect that is also unpredictable. These risk factors include the term of the Securities and the frequency and intensity of price fluctuations (volatility) of the underlying(s) as well as general interest and dividend levels. Consequently, the Securities may lose value even if the price of the underlying(s) increases. Each of the Issuer, the Manager(s) or their respective affiliates may deal with and engage generally in any kind of commercial or investment banking or other business with any issuer of underlying Securities, their respective affiliates or any guarantor or any other person or entities having obligations relating to any issuer of underlying Securities or their respective affiliates or any guarantor in the same manner as if these Securities did not exist, regardless of whether any such action might have an adverse effect on an issuer of the underlying Securities, any of their respective affiliates or any guarantor The relevant risk factors are described in detail in the Base Prospectus, see Part A.I.A "Summary of the Risk Factors" and Part B " Risk Factors "of the Base Prospectus. Counterparty Risk Investors bear the credit risk of Barclays Bank PLC as issuer of the Securities /Certificates. The Securities constitute unsubordinated, unsecured contractual obligations of Barclays Bank PLC and rank pari passu in all respect with all other unsubordinated, unsecured contractual obligations of Barclays Bank PLC.
