Barclays Temporarily Suspends Further Sales & Issuance of the iPath ® US Treasury 10-year Bear ETN (Ticker: DTYS), iPath ® ...
March 02 2020 - 3:07PM
Business Wire
Barclays Bank PLC announced
today that it has temporarily suspended, until further notice, any
further sales from inventory and any further issuances of the
iPath® US Treasury 10-year Bear ETN (Ticker: DTYS), iPath® US
Treasury Long Bond Bear ETN (Ticker: DLBS) and Barclays Inverse US
Treasury Composite ETN (Ticker: TAPR) (collectively, the “ETNs”)
effective as of the open of trading on Monday, March 2, 2020. The
ETNs currently trade on the CBOE BZX Exchange. This suspension may
cause fluctuations in the trading value of such ETNs. Daily
redemptions at the option of the holders of the ETNs will not be
affected by this suspension. Barclays Bank PLC’s lending activities
from existing inventory with respect to the ETNs will also not be
affected by this suspension.
The market value of the ETNs may be influenced by, among
other things, the levels of supply and demand for the Notes. It is
possible that the suspension, as described above, may influence the
market value of the ETNs. Barclays Bank PLC believes that
the limitations on issuance and sale implemented may cause an
imbalance of supply and demand in the secondary market for the
ETNs, which may cause the ETNs to trade at a premium
or discount in relation to their indicative value. Therefore, any
purchase of the ETNs in the secondary market may be at a
purchase price significantly different from their indicative
value.
The pricing supplement relating to the ETNs can be found
on EDGAR, the SEC website at: www.sec.gov, as well as on the
product website at www.iPathETN.com.
An investment in iPath ETNs involves significant risks and
may not be suitable for all investors. The ETNs are riskier than
ordinary unsecured debt securities and have no 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 prospectus.

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 applicable 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 or the U.S. Treasury market, 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.
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.
Restrictions on the Minimum Number of ETNs and Date
Restrictions for Redemptions: Except with respect to the
circumstances described above or as otherwise specified in the
applicable product prospectus, you must redeem at least the minimum
number of ETNs specified in the applicable product prospectus at
one time in order to exercise your right to redeem your ETNs on any
redemption date. 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 product prospectus.
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. There are restrictions on the minimum number
of ETNs you may redeem directly with the issuer as specified in the
applicable prospectus. 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.
