The consent solicitation will now expire on 31 March 2014, or such earlier date on which the approval of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of a particular issue is received and Barclays declares the proposed amendment to be effective for such issue. Barclays may terminate or extend the consent solicitation at any time in its sole discretion.
