In addition, Barclays has announced that, effective immediately, it is waiving in full the minimum redemption size relating to each series of ETNs, and, subject to the conditions and procedures described in the prospectus for the relevant series of ETNs, holders of the ETNs can redeem their ETNs to Barclays with no minimum number of ETNs.
As described in the prospectus for each series of ETNs listed above, Barclays, as issuer of the ETNs, may redeem the ETNs in its sole discretion on any business day on or after the inception date until maturity. Holders of such ETNs on the Redemption Date will receive a cash payment per ETN equal to the applicable closing indicative value or daily redemption value, as the case may be, of the ETNs (each as defined in the prospectus relating to the ETNs) on
For more information regarding the issuer redemption, including how the redemption value is determined, please see the prospectus relating to each affected series of ETNs under the heading “Specific Terms of the ETNs”.
Holders of ETNs subject to issuer redemption may choose to continue to hold their ETNs until the Redemption Date or choose to sell/redeem their ETNs at a suitable time prior to that, subject to the paragraph below. Any redemption of ETNs is subject to the conditions and procedures described in the prospectus for the relevant series of ETNs and will be valued using the applicable closing indicative value or daily redemption value, as the case may be, on the valuation date for the transaction, in each case in accordance with the prospectus for the relevant series of ETNs. The procedures for redemption include delivering a notice of redemption and signed confirmation to Barclays prior to the relevant valuation date within the time frames set forth in the prospectus and instructing the DTC custodian at which the ETNs are held to book and settle a delivery vs. payment trade with respect to the ETNs.
As described in the prospectus for each series of ETNs, the Valuation Date for the issuer redemption will be the “final valuation date” for each series of ETNs. Therefore, no elections for holder redemption having a valuation date on or after
In addition, unless otherwise announced, Barclays intends to continue to offer and sell the ETNs from its inventory through
Anyone considering investing in the ETNs or continuing to hold the ETNs should consider the risks described in the prospectus for the relevant series of ETNs when making an investment decision and consult with their broker or financial adviser to evaluate their investment in the ETNs.
The pricing supplement and prospectus relating to each series of ETNs can be found on EDGAR, the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as on the product website at the product page for each of the ETNs listed in the table above at ipathetn.barclays.
An investment in the ETNs involves significant risks and may not be suitable for all investors. The ETNs are riskier than ordinary unsecured debt securities and do not benefit from any principal protection. For more information on risks associated with the ETNs, please see “Selected Risk Considerations” below and the risk factors included in the relevant pricing supplement.

Selected Risk Considerations
An investment in the 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 change 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 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
Issuer Redemption:
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 commodity markets, the
A
No Interest Payments from the ETNs: You may not receive any interest payments on the ETNs.
Date Restrictions for Redemptions: You may only redeem your ETNs on a redemption date if we receive a notice of redemption from you by certain dates and times as set forth in the pricing supplement.
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. Sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses.
