Future commencement of Buy-back
Barclays PLC (the "Company") announces that, as disclosed in its
announcement on 22 October 2025, it will commence a share buy-back
programme to purchase ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the
Company ("Ordinary
Shares") for up to a maximum
consideration of £500m (the "Buy-back"). The Buy-back will commence on the business day
(in London) immediately following completion of the £1,000m
share buy-back programme commenced by the Company on 30 July 2025
and end no later than 20 April 2026 (subject to regulatory approval
remaining in place). The purpose of the Buy-back is to reduce the
share capital of the Company and therefore Ordinary Shares
purchased under the Buy-back will be cancelled.
The Company has entered into an agreement with Citigroup Global
Markets Limited ("Citi") to conduct the Buy-back on its behalf and carry
out on-market purchases of Ordinary Shares, acting as riskless
principal, and to on-sell such Ordinary Shares to the
Company.
Citi will make trading decisions in relation to the Buy-back
independently of, and without further instruction from, the
Company. Any purchases of Ordinary Shares under the Buy-back
will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange in accordance with
certain pre-set parameters set out in the agreement with Citi and
in accordance with (and subject to the limits prescribed by) the
Company's general authority to repurchase Ordinary Shares granted
by its shareholders at the annual general meeting on 7 May 2025
(the "2025
Authority"), Chapter 9 of the
Financial Conduct Authority's UK Listing Rules, Article 5(1) of the
Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 (as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018,
as amended), the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052
(as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended), and other applicable
laws.
No repurchases will be made in the United States or in respect of
the Company's American Depositary Receipts.
The maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be repurchased under
the Buy-back will be such number as is equal to the number of
Ordinary Shares the Company is authorised to repurchase under the
2025 Authority (1,436,786,392 Ordinary Shares) less the number of
Ordinary Shares purchased (and to be purchased) as part of the
£1,000m share buy-back programme commenced on 30 July
2025.
