Barclays Bank PLC (the “Issuer”) announced today that it
has extended the expiration date of its previously announced cash
tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of its
iPath® MSCI India Index ETNs due December 18, 2036 (CUSIP:
06739F291/ISIN: US06739F2911) (the “Notes” or “ETNs”)
and solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”)
from holders of the Notes (the “Noteholders”) to amend
certain provision of the Notes (the “Proposed Amendment”),
subject to applicable offer and distribution restrictions.
The Notes have been determined to be subject to certain
regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India
(“SEBI”) relating to offshore derivative instruments linked
to Indian equity securities, and SEBI has advised the Issuer that
the positions being held in the Notes may continue only until
December 31, 2020. Please refer to the press release dated July 6,
2020 for further details on the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation were previously scheduled to
expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 4, 2020 and
will instead expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on
September 1, 2020, unless further extended or early terminated
by the Issuer, in which case notification to that effect will be
given by or on behalf of the Issuer in accordance with the methods
set out in the Statement.
In addition, the purchase price of the Notes, which originally
reflected a 2% premium, has been increased to reflect a 4%
premium to the Closing Indicative Note Value of the Notes (the
“Premium Payment”) on September 1, 2020 (the “Expiration
Date”). If a Noteholder has already validly tendered and not
withdrawn its Notes pursuant to the original Offer, such Noteholder
is not required to take any further action with respect to such
Notes and such tender constitutes a valid tender for purposes of
the Offer, as amended and restated, which is eligible for the new
4% premium to the Closing Indicative Note Value of the Notes on the
Expiration Date.
Unless the Offer is extended or early terminated by the Issuer,
the Purchase Price will be publicly announced by the Issuer by
press release and will be available at www.ipathetn.com/inptf and
from D.F. King & Co., Inc., at or prior to approximately 1:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. In addition, on
each Trading Day while the Offer remains open, the indicative
Purchase Price, as well as the closing level of the Index and the
Closing Indicative Note Value, will be published by 4:30 p.m., New
York City time, at www.ipathetn.com/inptf and will also be
available from the Information Agent. The indicative Purchase Price
on any Trading Day will be equal to 104% of the Closing Indicative
Note Value on that Trading Day.
The Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made on the terms
and subject to the conditions and restrictions set out in the
Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation
Statement dated August 5, 2020 (which may be further amended or
supplemented from time to time, the “Statement”).
Noteholders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their
Notes will be deemed to have consented to the Proposed Amendment
under the Consent Solicitation.
The Issuer reserves the right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, not to accept any tender instructions, not to purchase
Notes or to extend, re-open, withdraw or terminate the Offer and
Consent Solicitation and to amend or waive any of the terms and
conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation in any manner,
subject to applicable laws and regulations.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the iPath ETNs described herein 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 supplement and pricing supplement.
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 level has increased or
decreased, as the case may be. Because the ETNs are subject to an
investor fee and 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.
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.
Market and Volatility Risk: The market value of the ETNs may be
influenced by many unpredictable factors and may fluctuate between
the date you purchase them and the maturity date or redemption
date. You may also sustain a significant loss if you sell your ETNs
in the secondary market. Factors that may influence the market
value of the ETNs include prevailing market prices of the U.S.
stock markets, the index components included in the underlying
index, and prevailing market prices of options on such index or any
other financial instruments related to such index; and supply and
demand for the ETNs, including economic, financial, political,
regulatory, geographical or judicial events that affect the level
of such index or other financial instruments related to such
index.
Emerging Market Risk: The MSCI India Total Return Index tracks
investments in an emerging market, which carries the risk of
capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values,
differences in generally accepted accounting principles, lower
trading volumes, and economic or political instability. ETNs linked
to such index may be subject to more volatility than investments
outside of emerging markets.
Concentration Risk: Because the ETNs are a concentrated
investment in a single country, the ETNs may be more volatile than
other investments.
A Trading Market for the ETNs May Not Develop: Although the ETNs
are listed on a U.S. national securities 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.
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.
The ETNs may be sold throughout the day on the exchange through
any brokerage account. Commissions may apply and there are tax
consequences in the event of sale, redemption or maturity of
ETNs.
MSCI and the MSCI Index names are servicemarks of MSCI or its
affiliates and have been licensed for use for certain purposes by
Barclays Bank PLC. The ETNs are not sponsored or endorsed by MSCI,
any affiliate of MSDCI or any other party involved in, or related
to, making or compiling any MSCI Index. The ETNs are not sold or
promoted by MSCI, any affiliate of MSCI or any other party involved
in, or related to, making or compiling any MSCI Index. The MSCI
Indices are the exclusive property of MSCI. Neither MSCI, any of
its affiliates, or any other party involved in, or related to,
making or compiling any MSCI Index makes any representation or
warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the ETNs or any
member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in the
financial securities generally or in the ETNs particularly or the
ability of any MSCI Index to track corresponding stock market
performance.
