TERMSHEET
5 YEAR USD BRIC 40 RISK CONTROL INDEX LINKED NOTE

Exposure to the performance of the BRIC 40 Risk Control 10% Excess


Return Index
Overview

The return on this USD denominated Product is linked to the performance of the BRIC 40 Risk Control 10% Excess Return Index
(Bloomberg: SPTR10UE Index) (the “Underlying Index”), as described below.

The issuer of the Product will be Barclays Bank PLC (Aa3 / AA-). An investment in the Note will be subject to the credit risk of the
issuer and the actual and perceived creditworthiness of the issuer may affect the market value of the note over the term. If the issuer
of the Note fails to meet its obligations, you may get back less than is due to you or nothing at all.
Investors’ capital is repaid in full if the product is held to maturity. If sold prior to maturity, investors may get back less than initially
invested (see Secondary Market on page 3).
The Note may, under exceptional conditions, be subject to early redemptions or adjustments as described on page 4 (Adjustment,
early redemption, and determination of returns).

Index Description

The Index is calculated by Standard & Poor’s and is based on the performance of a portfolio of 40 leading securities, representing the
largest and most liquid companies in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC). The total return – reflecting the price return and dividend
yield – of these equities is calculated, and the index’s exposure to the portfolio is set as a function of the volatility of the portfolio’s
price. In periods of high volatility, the exposure will be reduced; conversely in periods of low volatility the exposure will be increased.
The Index is an “excess return” index, meaning that it reflects the performance of this risk-adjusted exposure to the equities, minus
the return from USD money market rates (See Underlying Index for calculation methodology).

Product Description

At maturity there are two possible redemption scenarios:


 If the Underlying Index is above its initial level, investors will receive repayment of their initial investment plus a level of
participation in the positive performance of the Underlying Index. This participation rate will be set at launch and will not be lower
than 100%.
 If the Underlying Index is at or below its initial level, investors will receive 100% of their initial Investment at maturity.
 The return at maturity will be paid in USD.

This document is intended only as an overview of the features of the Product. Full details and the terms of the Product will be
contained in a Prospectus, and / or the Final Terms specific to the Product, copies of which are available on request.

Underlying Index S&P BRIC 40 Daily Risk Control 10% Excess Return (USD) Index (Bloomberg: SPTR10UE Index)

S&P Risk Control Methodology: The S&P Risk Control Index methodology controls the level of risk by varying exposure to an
underlying index based on systematic rules. By establishing a specific volatility target and managing the risk relative to the
target, this framework controls the level of risk. More specifically, the index consists of a position in an underlying index and a
cash position. If the risk level reaches a threshold that is too high, the cash level is increased to maintain the target volatility. If
the risk level gets too low, the index will employ leverage to maintain the targeted level of volatility. The exposure to the
underlying index is calculated by dividing the target risk level by the realized volatility of the underlying index. The target risk
level is set as a percentage and is typically 5%, 10%, 12%, or 15%.

Denomination USD 80,000 and integral multiples of USD 1,000 in excess thereof
Minimum Investment In the European Union, the minimum investment in this product is the higher of EUR 50,000 or the Denomination.
In Singapore, the minimum investment is the higher of the Denomination or SGD 200,000 if you are not a relevant person
(including but not limited to an "accredited investor") as defined in the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore.
In Hong Kong, the minimum investment is the higher of the Denomination or HKD 500,000 if you are not a "professional
investor" as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the laws of Hong Kong)

Different minimum amounts may apply in other jurisdictions.

Liquidity

Investment finance
If you need access to your funds during the term of the Product, the bank may be prepared to consider it as collateral.
As a guide, the Lending Value Percentage to be applied when calculating the collateral value of the Product is shown below, although
the exact value would depend on the context of the Product in your overall portfolio.
The provision of credit facilities is subject to credit approval and the completion of the relevant documentation.
Please note that using a credit facility to fund the purchase of the Product may significantly alter the risk profile of the investment on
an aggregate leveraged basis. The general effect of borrowing is to magnify gains and losses of the underlying investment. Where
the cost of that borrowing is greater than the return generated by the Product you may suffer a net loss in value on an aggregate
basis even if the Product has generated a positive return.
You must ensure that you fully understand the impact of borrowing on the investment and the consequences of failing to meet
interest and capital repayment obligations of the borrowing. This is explained in detail in the credit facility documentation.
Please discuss your objectives in detail with your private banker or investment adviser prior to making any decision to leverage.

Different rules apply under Monegasque law; clients of Barclays Private Bank in Monaco should ask their Private Banker for
further information.

Secondary market
A summary of the terms of the secondary market for the Product is shown below. These terms may change during the life of the
Product, and neither Barclays nor the Issuer are under any contractual obligation to provide a secondary market.
Please note that if you want to sell the Product before maturity you will only be able to do so through the secondary market arranged
by the Market Maker. For Products issued or arranged by Barclays Capital, the market maker will be a member of the Barclays Group.
The secondary market will only be available in normal market conditions, and in particular it may be difficult to sell the Product if
liquidity in the underlying market is limited.
There will, therefore, be a restricted market for transactions in the Product and it may be difficult to obtain reliable independent
information as to its value.
Where a Product provides full or partial capital protection, this will only apply at maturity, unless the terms of the Product specifically
state otherwise.
Where the return profile of a Product makes reference to a knock-in, credit event, barrier or other similar event, the secondary market
value of the Product may fall in anticipation of the event occurring.
In secondary market transactions, the current value of the Product will be calculated by the Market Maker based on the features of
the Product and prevailing market conditions. While movements in the underlying market factors will affect the value of the Product
during its term, it may also be affected by other factors such as changes in the level of interest rates, time to maturity, and other
factors as described under “General Risks” below.
It is impossible to predict whether the value of the Product will rise or fall, and its value at any time may be less than the sum
invested.

Key risks

Risk Classification
Please note that the following Risk Classification is relevant ONLY to Clients of Barclays Wealth in Asia. This Product has been
classified as Risk Class 2 (please see below).

Class 1 Investments in this category carry a lower degree of risk and are expected to expose the investor to a low risk of loss of
capital invested. The price or value of the investment under normal market conditions should be relatively stable and there
should be a high degree of transparency in the pricing. In addition, this investment should benefit from high liquidity,
meaning that there is likely to be a good available market for selling the investment at any time if so desired.
Class 2 These investments carry a moderate degree of risk and expose the investor to a potential loss of the capital invested. The
market price or value of the investment under normal market conditions may be moderately volatile. In addition, there will be
lower liquidity, meaning that it may be less easy to dispose of the investment at a reasonable price at any time. Some
investments in this category might include leverage, which will generally increase the potential for losses as well as gains. No
guarantee or assurance can be given that profits will be achieved or that losses will not be incurred.
Class 3 Investments in this category carry a high degree of risk and may expose the investor to a possible total loss of the capital
invested. The market price or value of the investment, even under normal market conditions, could vary greatly and exhibit
sharp variations. In addition, liquidity may be low, meaning that it may be difficult or impossible to dispose of the investment
at a reasonable price at any time. Some investments in this category might include leverage, which will generally increase the
potential for losses as well as gains. No guarantee or assurance can be given that profits will be achieved or that substantial
losses will not be incurred. These investments are not suitable for investors with a risk profile that can be described as
"Income" or "Conservative".

The above descriptions are not a complete explanation of the risks involved. Prospective investors should read the offering
documentation and consult with their own advisers before deciding whether to invest.

Credit risk
Please note that, in addition to any market risk inherent to the Product, you will assume the full credit risk of the Issuer, and are reliant
on the Issuer and the Market Maker to fulfil their obligations in respect of the Product. You should consider the credit quality of the
Issuer before deciding to invest.

General risks
The value of the Product will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the
capital markets generally.
Ownership of the Product exposes the Investor to many different risks, including (without limitation) interest rate, corporate, market,
foreign exchange, time value and/or political risks. Past performance does not guarantee or predict future performance.
Investors may also be exposed to foreign exchange risk, to the extent that they invest in Products denominated in a currency other
than their home currency or if the terms of the Product allow for conversion of principal.

Notes and Important Information

Adjustment, early redemption and determination of returns


The Issuer or its agent may be entitled to adjust the terms of the Product to cover unforeseen circumstances, such as changes to the
index, interest or currency rates or other factor underlying the Product or in response to a corporate event (such as merger,
insolvency or credit event) affecting any underlying asset on which the Product is based, or to cover any market disruption or change
in market conditions.

It may be entitled to substitute different underlying indices, rates or shares and in some circumstances (such as a significant change
in taxation for the Issuer) it may be entitled to redeem or terminate the Products before maturity. The Issuer also has the right to
amend the dates on which market levels are observed or payments are made to reflect the business days applicable in the underlying
markets.
The Issuer or its agent will have discretion to calculate the returns on the Product, and in the absence of manifest error its decisions in
this respect will be final.
Full details are set out in the base prospectus, any supplemental prospectus and / or any Product terms, copies of which are available
on request.

Annualised Returns
Investors should note that, where coupons, interest rates or other payments are expressed as an annualised rate, the actual amounts
payable will be scaled to take account of the length of the relevant payment period. This scaling will be undertaken by the Calculation
Agent, in its sole discretion, and acting in accordance with prevailing market practice.

Withdrawal of issue
The Issuer may decide not to issue the Product before the Issue date.

Physical delivery
Where the product allows for physical delivery, the benefits due to be paid e.g. coupon or dividend will only be paid to clients once the
underlying has been received by the investor and once their details appear on the relevant register.

Conflicts
The Barclays Group is engaged in the full range of financial services activities, including but not limited to lending, dealing in
investments, corporate finance activities and securities issuance. These activities may from time to time affect the value of the
Product or the underlying instruments to which it is linked. Members of the Barclays Group and those associated with them may act
on both sides of the market. They will hold long positions and could hold short positions in instruments to which this Product is
referenced or instruments which are linked to them. This could affect the value, liquidity or price of those instruments and/or the
Product in a way which is adverse to the interests of an Investor. No member of the Barclays Group shall be under an obligation to
have regard to the consequences for Investors in conducting such activities. Members of the Barclays Group may also have
confidential information about the underlying instruments or which is otherwise relevant to the Products. They shall not be under
any obligation to disclose that information or to use it for the benefit of any Investor.

Calculation Agent
Unless otherwise specified above, the Calculation Agent will be a member of the Barclays Group and therefore potential conflicts of
interest may exist between the Calculation Agent and Investors, including with respect to certain determinations the Calculation
Agent may make in relation to the Products which could affect the amount payable in respect of them. These determinations are
generally required to be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, provided that the Calculation Agent assumes
no obligation to or relationship of agency or trust with any person other than the Issuer. The Calculation Agent is not acting as a
fiduciary of or advisor to any Investor in its capacity as Calculation Agent. In exercising its discretion, the Calculation Agent shall not
be required to take into account any person’s interest other than that of the Issuer. Investors’ interests could therefore be adversely
affected.

Credit ratings
One or more credit rating agencies may assign ratings to the Issuer or any underlying security or Reference Entity,. These ratings do
not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market and other factors that could affect the value or credit of any of
these. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating
agency at any time, and in particular credit ratings may worsen over the term of the Product. No member of the Barclays Group
accepts any liability for any act or omission of a credit rating agency.

Charges
The terms of the Product may allow for the Issuer to pay a fee to Barclays Wealth. The amount of this fee will depend on market
conditions, but is not expected to exceed 1% of Principal for each year of the Product's term. The fee will be paid at trade date, and is

and complying with any applicable laws and regulations. We have not and will not provide you with tax or legal advice and
recommend that you obtain your own independent tax and legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
The tax treatment of structured products can be complex, and the level and basis of taxation may alter during the term of any
product. Prospective investors should therefore obtain professional tax advice appropriate to their own circumstances
before investing.
Amounts due to be paid to investors are described on a gross basis, i.e. without calculating any tax liability. The Issuer shall make no
deduction for any tax, duty, or other charge unless required by law.
