COMMON CODE NO. 191016831

BARCLAYS PLC, a company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of England and Wales (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of US$[•] ([•]) on February 15, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, and to pay interest thereon, in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest shall accrue on this Security from November 15, 2018 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as defined below) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be paid semi-annually in arrear on February 15 and August 15 of each year (each, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”), commencing on August 15, 2019 and ending on February 15, 2022 (the “Par Redemption Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, at the rate of 4.610% per annum. Thereafter, interest shall be paid quarterly in arrear on May 15, 2022, August 15, 2022, November 15, 2022 and the Maturity Date (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date” and, together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, an “Interest Payment Date”), except as otherwise provided herein, at a floating rate equal to the three-month U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), reset quarterly, plus 1.40% per annum, as described below.

The interest rate on the Securities for any Floating Rate Interest Period will be LIBOR, as determined on the applicable Interest Determination Date, plus 1.40% per annum. During the Floating Rate Period, the interest rate on the Securities will be reset quarterly on each Interest Reset Date. Subject to the limitations specified on the reverse of this Security, interest on the Securities shall be computed and payable in arrear and on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30 day months during the Fixed Rate Period and on the basis of the actual number of days in each Floating Rate Interest Period and a 360-day year during the Floating Rate Period.

The Calculation Agent, initially the Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch (the “Calculation Agent”), will determine LIBOR in any circumstance where the Calculation Agent is so required under the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Annex I to the Third Supplemental Indenture. Any replacement for LIBOR will also be calculated in accordance with the provisions set forth in Annex I to the Third Supplemental Indenture.

All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating the interest rate on the Securities shall be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities, the Company and the Trustee, absent manifest error.

If any scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day (as defined below), but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after the scheduled Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date. If any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except that if that Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. If the Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment is not a Business Day, the payment of interest and principal and/or any amount payable upon redemption or repayment of the Securities will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but interest on that payment will not accrue during the period from and after such Maturity Date or date of redemption or repayment. If the Securities are redeemed, unless the Company defaults on payment of the Redemption Price, interest will cease to accrue on the Redemption Date on the Securities called for redemption. A “Business Day” means any weekday, other than one on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in London, England or in the City of New York, United States.

The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name the relevant Security (or any Predecessor Security) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture) for such interest.

No repayment of the principal amount of the Securities or payment of interest on the Securities shall become due and payable after the exercise of any U.K. Bail-in Power by the Relevant U.K. Resolution Authority, unless such repayment or payment would be permitted to be made by the Company under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and the European Union applicable to the Company.

Payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts and such payments shall be made through one or more Paying Agents appointed under the Indenture to the Holder or Holders of this Security. Initially, the Paying Agent for the Securities shall be The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, One Canada Square, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Place of Payment in respect of the Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, which as of the date hereof is hereby designated for purposes of the Securities initially as the office or agency of the Trustee located at said address. Initially, the Senior Debt Security Registrar for the Securities shall be ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇/▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Branch, 2-4 Rue ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Vertigo Building – ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (which location shall also be a Place of Payment for purposes of Section 3.05(a) of the Base Indenture). The Company at any time and from time to time may change the Paying Agent or, subject to Section 9.01 of the Base Indenture, the Place of Payment, and the Senior Debt Security Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Securities, and in such an event the Company may act as Paying Agent or Security Registrar. Payments of principal of and interest on the Securities shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, however, that in the case of payments of principal, this Security is first surrendered to the Paying Agent.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for the waiver of set-off provisions referenced herein and set forth in Section 5.03(c) of the Base Indenture which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture, as defined herein.

THIS SECURITY IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE U.K. FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME OR INSURED BY THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY OF THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof, directly or through an Authenticating Agent, by manual signature of an authorized signatory, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

Following an Events of Default Substitution, if a Non-Payment Event (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture) occurs, the Trustee may, at its discretion, and without further notice to the Company, institute proceedings in England (or such other jurisdiction in which the Company may be organized) (but not elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Company and/or prove in a winding-up of the Company and/or claim in a liquidation or administration of the Company.

Following an Events of Default Substitution, the Securities will also subject to the limitation of remedies provisions set forth in Section 2.07 of the Third Supplemental Indenture.

The Indenture permits the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture as contemplated by Article 9 of the Base Indenture.

This Security, and any other Securities of this series and of like tenor, are issuable only in registered form without coupons in initial denominations of $200,000 and increments of $1,000 thereafter.

This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except for the waiver of set-off provisions referenced herein and set forth in Section 5.03(c) of the Base Indenture, which shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.
