* A vote Withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes "For" and "Against" a resolution.

As at 6.30pm on Tuesday 30 April 2019, the time by which shareholders who wanted to vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company's register of members, there were 17,240,956,167 ordinary shares in issue. 504 shareholders or persons representing shareholders attended the meeting. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share.

In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.2, copies of the resolutions that do not constitute ordinary business at an annual general meeting will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at http://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM

Resolution 2

The Board notes that while Resolution 2 was passed with a majority of 70.79%, a number of our shareholders opposed this resolution.

We are disappointed in this outcome and will seek and reflect carefully on feedback from our shareholders in order to understand more fully the reasons for the opposition to this resolution.

An update on the consultation process will be made in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, within six months of the AGM. We expect to seek shareholder approval for a new Directors' Remuneration Policy at our AGM in 2020 in line with the normal cycle for renewal.

Other Matters

John McFarlane, Dambisa Moyo, Reuben Jeffery III and Mike Turner retired at the 2019 Barclays PLC Annual General Meeting and did not seek re-election. Mr. McFarlane, Dr. Moyo, Mr. Jeffery and Mr. Turner therefore resigned from the Board at the conclusion of the meeting and Mr. Nigel Higgins replaced Mr. McFarlane as Chairman and as Chairman of the Nominations Committee.
