Further to its announcements on 28 March 2022, 23 May 2022 and 25 July 2022, BBPLC today makes the following announcement:

Rescission Offer Commenced

BBPLC commenced today an offer to rescind the previous purchases of c.U.S.$17.6 billion of certain affected securities that were issued in excess of registered amounts under BBPLC’s U.S. shelf registration statements. Such securities consist of c.U.S.$14.8 billion of structured notes and c.U.S.$2.8 billion of exchange-traded notes.

The rescission offer is made pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the SEC today under BBPLC’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC on 23 May 2022. The rescission offer prospectus supplement can be accessed on the SEC’s website at: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000119312522207620/d386666d424b5.htm

The terms of the rescission offer, including a description of the relevant affected securities, the eligibility requirements for investors to accept the rescission offer, and the rescission offer proceeds that are expected to be paid to eligible investors, are set forth in such prospectus supplement.

The indicative rescission offer proceeds that are expected to be paid to initial investors in structured notes, a subset of the securities subject to the rescission offer, are included in an appendix to the rescission offer prospectus supplement. Such calculations are based on a number of assumptions and the final amount of rescission offer proceeds received by initial investors in structured notes may be different. Please refer to the rescission offer prospectus supplement filed with the SEC today for more details regarding the calculation of such indicative rescission offer proceeds.

Securities subject to the Rescission Offer

The relevant affected securities subject to the rescission offer are listed and described in Appendix A to the rescission offer prospectus supplement.

Duration and Results of the Rescission Offer

The rescission offer will expire at 5.00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on 12 September 2022.

BBPLC will endeavour to publish the results of the rescission offer (including details of the final rescission offer proceeds that will be paid to initial investors in structured notes) as soon as practicable following the expiration date of the rescission offer.
