* 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 5 May 2020, 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 17,337,624,306
ordinary shares in issue. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per
share. As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, and in
accordance with the UK Government's guidance on social distancing
and prohibition on non-essential travel and public gatherings,
attendance at the Meeting was restricted.
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
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism
Resolution 30
Resolution 30 was requisitioned by a group of shareholders
coordinated by ShareAction. The Board notes that while resolution
30 was not passed, 23.95% of the votes cast either "for" or
"against" resolution 30 were cast "for" this resolution. This
amounts to 14.35 % of the total issued share capital. The Board did
not support this resolution and urged shareholders instead to
support the resolution on climate change that it had proposed to
shareholders, resolution 29.
We have engaged extensively over recent months with many
shareholders and other stakeholders in relation to Barclays'
commitment to tackling climate change. This commitment is expressed
in resolution 29, which was passed very comfortably. During this
engagement we explored with shareholders their voting intentions in
relation to resolutions 29 and 30, and those with whom we engaged
and who said that they intended to vote "for" resolution 30
explained to us the reasons they intended to do so. Those
shareholders account for a very large proportion of the votes cast
"for" that resolution.
We will reflect on this feedback from our shareholders and
ensure that we understand fully the reasons why those shareholders
who did so supported this resolution, and will provide an update in
due course, in accordance with the UK Corporate Governance
Code.
We are also committed to engaging further with shareholders and
other stakeholders over the coming months as we continue to develop
our climate strategy and both the metrics for measuring our
progress and the targets against which we will report.
