The warrants and ordinary shares are legally owned by PCP3.  PCP3 is, in turn, wholly owned by NCIL which is, in turn, wholly owned by Mr. Al Ketbi.

 

The triggering transaction is the exercise, on 17 February 2010, of 626,835,443 warrants held by PCP3 into ordinary shares in Barclays PLC.  The exercise has resulted in a notifiable decrease in the percentage level of voting rights held through warrants, and a corresponding notifiable increase in the percentage level of voting rights held through ordinary shares.  Such changes, whilst not affecting the overall percentage level of voting rights held by the notifying parties, are notifiable pursuant to DTR 5.7.1R and 5.7.2G.

As required under the Disclosure Rules, this notification has been prepared using the total voting rights figure of 11,412,262,573 as set out in the regulatory announcement made by Barclays PLC dated 29 January 2010.  Consequently the quoted percentages of voting rights detailed in this notification have been calculated without including the shares issued upon the exercise warrants, nor the further shares to be issued when the warrants included in this notification are exercised.  This results in certain percentage figures being artificially high.

sale of Barclays Global Investors business to BlackRock, Inc. was completed on 1 December, 2009 for US$15.2 billion (£9.5 billion), including 37.567 million new BlackRock shares
.
Acquisition of Standard Life Bank
On 26 October 2009 Barclays PLC announced that the Issuer has agreed to acquire Standard Life Bank Plc from Standard Life Plc for a consideration of £226m.  Completion is subject, amongst other things, to regulatory approval and is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2010.
Acquisition of Citi's Portuguese credit card business
On 29 September 2009 Barclays PLC announced that the Issuer, acting through its Portuguese branch, has agreed to acquire approximately 400,000 credit card accounts (representing gross assets of approximately €644m (as at 30 June 2009)) from Citibank International plc, Sucursal em Portugal.  Completion is subject to competition clearance and is expected to occur before the end of 2009.
Restructuring of credit market assets
On 16 September 2009 Barclays PLC announced the restructuring of US$12.3 billion of credit market assets. Further information is included in the Announcement incorporated by reference.
Lehman Brothers
On 15 September 2009 separate motions were filed in the Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Court by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (
"
LBHI
"
), the SIPA trustee for Lehman Brothers Inc Lehman Brothers Inc (the
"LBI
Trustee
"
) and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc (the
"
Committee
"
).  The motions by LBHI and the Committee seek either relief from or to modify both the transaction pursuant to which the Lehman Brothers North American businesses were sold to the Bank and the order approving such sale.   The motion by the
LBI
Trustee seeks an order confirming his interpretation of the sale documents as not requiring the transfer to the Bank of certain assets claimed by the Bank or, in the alternative, seeking relief from or to modify the sale transaction and the orders approving the sale.  On 16 November 2009, LBHI, the
LBI
Trustee and the Committee filed separate complaints in the Bankruptcy Court asserting claims against the Bank based on the same underlying allegations as the pending motions.  The Bank is defending its position vigorously. It is too early to assess the Bank's possible loss (if any) in relation to these matters and the effect that they might have upon operating results in any particular financial period
.
Life insurance joint venture
On 10 September 2009 the Issuer and CNP Assurances SA ('
CNP'
) confirmed the establishment of a long-term life insurance joint venture in Spain, Portugal and Italy. As part of this transaction, Barclays sold a 50 per cent stake in Barclays Vida y Pensiones Compañía de Seguros ('
BVP'
), Barclays Iberian life insurance and pensions subsidiary, to CNP.  CNP paid €140 million on completion. This is subject to a post-completion adjustment by reference to BVP's net assets as at closing.
UK Government measures concerning its financial support to the banking sector
On 8 October 2008 and 13 October 2008 the UK Government announced a package of measures and schemes designed to provide financial support to the banking industry.  The Group has participated and continues to participate in certain of these schemes, including the credit guarantee scheme. Following these UK Government announcements, Barclays PLC and the Group conducted the Capital Raising described in more detail below.
On 19 January 2009 the UK Government announced a further package of measures and schemes designed to inject liquidity in the UK economy and restore confidence in the financial system. These include, among others, the extension of the credit guarantee scheme and the implementation of an asset protection scheme to protect participating banks from credit losses, beyond and up to an agreed point, on eligible assets placed within the scheme. The FSA also published considerations relating to appropriate long-term changes to the bank capital regulatory framework, including a programme of work to reduce the requirement for additional capital resulting from the pro-cyclical effects of the International Basel Accord and a preference for the capital regime to incorporate counter-cyclical measures which would lead to banks building up capital buffers in good years which can be drawn down during economic downturns. However, this continues to be a supervisory framework and not a new set of rules.
On 30 March 2009, Barclays PLC announced that following discussions with major shareholders and careful assessment of the potential benefits and costs of participation in HM Treasury's Asset Protection Scheme, the Board of directors had determined that it would not be in the interests of its investors, depositors and clients to participate in the Asset Protection Scheme. 
The Capital Raising
On 31 October 2008, the Board made an announcement of a proposal to raise more than £7 billion of additional capital (the "
Capital Raising
") from existing and new strategic and institutional investors. The Capital Raising satisfied the target capital levels agreed with the FSA.
The Capital Raising included:
·       
An issue of £3 billion of Reserve Capital Instruments (the "
RCIs
") by the Issuer to Qatar Holding LLC and entities representing the beneficial interests of HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi ("
HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan
").  The RCIs pay an annual coupon of 14 per cent. until June 2019.  On 18 November 2008, the Board announced that Qatar Holding LLC and HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan had each offered to make available up to £250 million of RCIs for clawback by existing Barclays PLC institutional investors at par. By consequence £500 million of RCIs (excluding Warrants described below) were placed with Barclays PLC institutional investors by way of a bookbuild placing on 18 November 2008.
·        
In conjunction with the issue of the RCIs, Qatar Holding LLC and HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan also subscribed (for a nominal consideration) for warrants (the "
Warrants
") to subscribe at their option for up to 1,516,875,236 new ordinary shares of Barclays PLC with an exercise price of 197.775 pence per share or £3 billion in aggregate, representing 18.1 per cent. of the then existing issued ordinary share capital.  The Warrants are exercisable at any time for a five-year term from the date of issue of the RCIs until 31 October 2013. 
·        
An issue of £2.8 billion of Mandatorily Convertible Notes (the "
MCNs
") by the Issuer  to Qatar Holding LLC, Challenger Universal Limited (a company representing the beneficial interests of His Excellency Sheikh Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani, the chairman of Qatar Holding LLC, and his family) ("
Challenger
") and HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and a further issue of £1.25 billion of MCNs to existing institutional shareholders and other institutional investors by way of an accelerated non-underwritten bookbuild placing implemented on 31 October 2008.  The MCNs were converted into Barclays PLC ordinary shares on or before 30 June 2009 resulting in the issue of 2,642,292,334 new Barclays PLC ordinary shares.
Qatar Holding LLC agreed to invest £500 million in MCNs and £1.5 billion in RCIs, and subscribed for Warrants to purchase up to £1.5 billion of Barclays PLC ordinary shares. On 20 October 2009, Qatar Holding LLC exercised half of the Warrants it had subscribed for, resulting in the issue of 379m new Barclays PLC ordinary shares, which were then placed with other investors. Challenger agreed to invest £300 million in MCNs. Following conversion of their MCNs and assuming the full exercise of the remaining Warrants, Qatar Holding LLC would hold ordinary shares representing 9.5 per cent. of the fully diluted share capital of Barclays PLC.  Following conversion of their MCNs, Challenger holds ordinary shares representing 2.8 per cent. of the current share capital of Barclays PLC.  In addition to any other fees and commissions payable in connection with the issue of the securities, Qatar Holding LLC received a fee of £66 million for having arranged certain of the subscriptions in the Capital Raising. 
HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan agreed to invest £2 billion in MCNs and £1.5 billion in RCIs, and subscribed for Warrants to purchase up to £1.5 billion of Barclays PLC ordinary shares. On 2 June 2009, the Abu Dhabi governmental investment vehicle which funded HH Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan's investment in the Warrants, MCNs and the RCIs, International Petroleum Investment Company ("
IPIC
"), announced its intention to dispose of 1,304,835,721 Barclays PLC shares for which its entire holding of MCNs were exchangeable and such shares have since been sold.  An investment vehicle controlled by His Excellency Khadem Abdulla Khadem Butti Al Qubaisi, the managing director of IPIC,  holds Warrants exercisable into a further 758,437,618 Barclays PLC shares at a price of 197.775 pence per share.
Dividend Policy
On 13 October 2008 Barclays PLC announced that its Board would not be recommending the payment of a final dividend on Barclays PLC's ordinary shares for 2008. This dividend, amounting to approximately £2 billion, would otherwise have been payable in April 2009. Barclays PLC intends to resume dividend payments on its ordinary shares in the second half of 2009.
The Placing
On 18 September 2008, the Board announced the completion of a placing.  A total of 226 million new Barclays PLC ordinary shares of 25 pence each (the "
Placing Shares
") issued by Barclays PLC were placed with certain institutions at a price of 310 pence per Placing Share.  Based on the placing price, the gross proceeds were £701 million.
The Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer
On 25 June 2008, Barclays PLC announced a share issue to raise approximately £4.5 billion through the issue of 1,576 million new Barclays PLC ordinary shares (the "
Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer
").  The Firm Placing and Placing and Open Offer includes:
·       
approximately £500 million raised through a firm placing of 169 million new Barclays PLC ordinary shares at 296 pence per new Barclays PLC ordinary share to Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation;
·       
approximately £4.0 billion raised through a placing of 1,407 million new Barclays PLC ordinary shares at 282 pence per new Barclays PLC ordinary share to Qatar Investment Authority, Challenger, China Development Bank, Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited and certain leading institutional shareholders and other investors, which shares were available for clawback in full by means of an open offer to existing shareholders.  Pursuant to such open offer, existing shareholders were offered the opportunity to subscribe for up to a maximum of their pro rata entitlement on the basis of three open offer shares for every 14 existing ordinary shares they held.
The firm placing of 169 million new Barclays PLC ordinary shares was completed on 4 July 2008 and the placing and open offer was completed on 22 July 2008.  Valid applications under the open offer were received from qualifying shareholders in respect of approximately 267 million Barclays PLC shares in aggregate, representing 19.0 per cent. of the Barclays PLC shares offered pursuant to the open offer. Accordingly, the remaining 1,140,310,966 Barclays PLC shares were allocated to the various investors with whom they had been conditionally placed.
Other
On 17 February 2009 the Group announced that Barclays Capital will discontinue operations at its Equifirst subsidiary.
Competition and regulatory matters
The scale of regulatory change remains challenging and the global financial crisis is resulting in a significant tightening of regulation and changes to regulatory structures globally, especially for banks that are deemed to be of systemic importance.  Concurrently, there is continuing political and regulatory scrutiny of the operation of the retail banking and consumer credit industries in the UK and elsewhere. The nature and impact of future changes in the legal framework, policies and regulatory action cannot currently be fully predicted and are beyond the Group's control, but, especially in the area of banking regulation, are likely to have an impact on the Group's businesses and earnings.
The market for payment protection insurance ("
PPI
") has been under scrutiny by the UK competition authorities and financial services regulators.  In September 2005, the Office of Fair Trading ("
OFT
") received a super-complaint from the Citizens Advice Bureau relating to PPI.  As a result, the OFT commenced a market study on PPI in April 2006.  In October 2006 the OFT announced the outcome of the market study and the OFT referred the PPI market to the UK Competition Commission ("
CC
") for an in-depth inquiry in February 2007.  In June 2008, the CC published its provisional findings. The CC published its final report into the PPI market on 29 January 2009.  The CC's conclusion was that the businesses which offer PPI alongside credit face little or no competition when selling PPI to their credit customers.  The CC set out a draft package of measures which it considered would introduce competition into the market (the "
Remedies
").  The Remedies are: a prohibition on sale of PPI at the point of sale ("
POSP
"); a prohibition on the sale of single premium PPI; mandatory personal PPI quotes to customers; annual statements for all regular premium policies, including the back book (for example credit card and mortgage protection policies); measures to ensure that improved information is available to customers; obliging providers to give information to the OFT to monitor the Remedies and to provide claims ratios to any person on request.  The Group is reviewing the report, the CC's draft Remedies order and considering the next steps, including how this might affect the Group's different products.  In March 2009, Barclays submitted an appeal of part of the CC's final report to the Competition Appeal Tribunal ("
CAT
").  The targeted appeal was focused on the POSP remedy which it is felt is not based on sound analysis, and is unduly draconian.  The judgment of the CAT was handed down on 16 October 2009.  The CAT upheld the Group's appeal on two grounds, meaning that the CC will be required to reconsider the POSP remedy and the basis for it, and made an order to that effect on 26 November 2009.
Separately, in October 2006, the FSA published the outcome of its broad industry thematic review of PPI sales practices in which it concluded that some firms fail to treat customers fairly and that the FSA would strengthen its actions against such firms. Tackling poor PPI sales practices remains a priority for the FSA, with their most recent update on their thematic work published in September 2008. The Group voluntarily complied with the FSA's request to cease selling single premium PPI by the end of January 2009. There has been no enforcement action against the Group in respect of its PPI products. The Group has cooperated fully with these investigations into PPI and will continue to do so.
The OFT has carried out investigations into Visa and MasterCard credit card interchange rates. The decision by the OFT in the MasterCard interchange case was set aside by the Competition Appeals Tribunal in June 2006. The OFT is progressing its investigations in the Visa interchange case and a second MasterCard interchange case in parallel and both are ongoing. The outcome is not known but these investigations may have an impact on the consumer credit industry in general and therefore on the Group's business in this sector. In February 2007, the OFT announced that it was expanding its investigation into interchange rates to include debit cards.
In September 2006, the OFT announced that it had decided to undertake a fact find on the application of its statement on credit card fees to current account unauthorised overdraft fees. The fact find was completed in March 2007. On 29 March 2007, the OFT announced its decision to conduct a formal investigation into the fairness of bank current account charges. The OFT initiated a market study into personal current accounts ("
PCAs
") in the UK on 26 April 2007. The study's focus was PCAs but it also included an examination of other retail banking products, in particular savings accounts, credit cards, personal loans and mortgages in order to take into account the competitive dynamics of UK retail banking. On 16 July 2008, the OFT published its market study report, in which it concluded that certain features of the UK PCA market were not working well for consumers. The OFT reached the provisional view that some form of regulatory intervention is necessary in the UK PCA market. On 16 July 2008, the OFT also announced a consultation to seek views on the findings and possible measures to address the issues raised in its report. The consultation period closed on 31 October 2008. The Group has participated fully in the market study process and will continue to do so.
US laws and regulations require compliance with US economic sanctions, administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, against designated foreign countries, nationals and others. HM Treasury regulations similarly require compliance with sanctions adopted by the UK government. The Group has been conducting an internal review of its conduct with respect to US Dollar payments involving countries, persons and entities subject to these sanctions and has been reporting to governmental authorities about the results of that review. The Group received inquiries relating to these sanctions and certain US Dollar payments processed by its New York branch from the New York County District Attorney's Office and the US Department of Justice, which along with other authorities, has been reported to be conducting investigations of sanctions compliance by non-US financial institutions. The Group has responded to those inquiries and is cooperating with the regulators, the Department of Justice and the District Attorney's Office in connection with their investigations of the Group's conduct with respect to sanctions compliance. Barclays has also received a formal notice of investigation from the FSA, and has been keeping the FSA informed of the progress of the US investigations and the Group's internal review.  The Group's review is ongoing. It is currently not possible to predict the ultimate resolution of the issues covered by the Group's review and the investigations, including the timing and potential financial impact of any resolution, which could be substantial.
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (the "
FSCS
") provides compensation to customers of financial institutions in the event that an institution is unable, or is likely to be unable, to pay claims against it.  In 2008, a number of institutions were declared in default by the FSA. In order to meet its obligations to the depositors of these institutions, the FSCS obtained facilities from HM Treasury on an interest only basis which totalled £18.2 billion as at 31 March 2009.  The majority of the facilities are anticipated to be repaid wholly from recoveries from the institutions concerned, although some shortfalls are anticipated in the smaller facilities. The FSCS raises annual levies from the banking industry to meet its management expenses and compensation costs. Individual institutions make payments based on their level of market participation (in the case of deposits, the proportion that their protected deposits represent of total market protected deposits) at 31 December each year. If an institution is a market participant on this date it is obligated to pay a levy. The Issuer was a market participant at 31 December 2007 and 2008.  The Group has accrued £37 million in 2009 (£101 million for year ended 31 December 2008) for its share of levies that will be raised by the FSCS including the interest on the loan from HM Treasury. The accrual includes estimates for the interest FSCS will pay on the loan and estimates of the Group's market participation in the relevant periods. Interest will continue to accrue on the FSCS facilities and will form part of future FSCS management expenses levies. To the extent that the facilities have not been repaid in full by 31 March 2012, the FSCS will agree a schedule of repayments with HM Treasury, which will be recouped from the industry in the form of additional levies.  Under the Banking Act 2009, in April 2009, HM Treasury issued a Notification to the FSCS requiring a contribution to the resolution costs of a further institution. The timing and size of any actual payments by the FSCS under the Notification and the consequent need for levies on the industry, is unclear. It is not currently possible to estimate whether there will ultimately be additional levies on the industry, the level of the Group's market participation or other factors that may affect the amounts or timing of amounts that may ultimately become payable, nor the effect that such levies may have upon operating results in any particular financial period.

No potential conflicts of interest exist between any duties to the Issuer of the Board of Directors listed above and their private interests or other duties.
Employees
The average number of persons employed by the Group worldwide during 2008, excluding agency staff, was 151,500 (2007: 128,900).
Litigation
The Group has for some time been party to proceedings, including a class action, in the United States against a number of defendants following the collapse of Enron; the class action claim is commonly known as the Newby litigation.  On 19 March 2007 the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a decision that the case could not proceed against the Group as a class action because the plaintiffs had not alleged a proper claim against the Group.  On 22 January 2008, the United States Supreme Court denied the plaintiffs' request for review of the Fifth Circuit's 19 March 2007 decision.  On 5 March 2009, the District Court granted summary judgment in the Group's favour in relation to the plaintiffs' claims against the Group.  The District Court also denied the plaintiffs' request to amend the complaint to assert revised claims against the Group on behalf of the class.  The plaintiffs' time in which to file an appeal regarding the District Court's 5 March 2009 decision has not yet expired.  The Group considers that the Enron related claims against it are without merit and is defending them vigorously.  It is not possible to estimate the Group's possible loss in relation to these matters, nor the effect that they might have upon operating results in any particular financial period.
Like other UK financial services institutions, the Group faces numerous County Court claims and complaints by customers who allege that its unauthorised overdraft charges either contravene the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 ("
UTCCR
") or are unenforceable penalties or both. In July 2007, by agreement with all parties, the OFT commenced proceedings against seven banks and one building society, including the Issuer, to resolve the matter by way of a "test case" process.
In April 2008 the Court held in favour of the banks on the issue of the penalty doctrine. The OFT did not appeal that decision. In November 2009 the Supreme Court allowed the Issuer's appeal against the Court of Appeal's earlier ruling. The Supreme Court held that unauthorised overdraft charges constitute part of the price for the banking services provided, and no assessment of their fairness can relate to their adequacy, as against the services supplied. The test case is therefore at an end. The OFT is considering, in light of this ruling, whether it can continue its investigation into unauthorised overdraft charges. As the test case is now concluded, the FSA complaints handling waiver falls away and the usual complaints handling processes (the "
DISP rules
") apply. Pending the OFT reaching a conclusion as to the future of its investigation, the FSA will implement modified DISP rules to allow banks to review complaints in the ordinary way whilst accommodating their administrative backlogs. Those complaints by Barclays' customers which rely solely on the grounds of complaint which were the subject of the test case will be rejected. Similarly, County Courts will be invited to strike out claims brought on those grounds. It is not practicable to estimate the Group's possible loss in relation to these matters, nor the effect that they may have upon operating results in any particular financial period
. 
Barclays PLC and the Group is engaged in various other litigation proceedings both in the United Kingdom and a number of overseas jurisdictions, including the United States, involving claims by and against it which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Issuer does not expect the ultimate resolution of any of the proceedings to which the Group is party to have a significant adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and the Issuer has not disclosed the contingent liabilities associated with these claims either because they cannot reasonably be estimated or because such disclosure could be prejudicial to the conduct of the claims.
Save as disclosed above in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of this sub-paragraph, no member of the Group is or has been involved in any governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which the Issuer is aware), which may have or have had during the 12 months preceding the date of this Contractual Terms of Issue, a significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Issuer and/or the Group.
Significant Change Statement

Material Adverse Change Statement
 
There has been no material adverse change in the prospects of the Issuer or the Group since 31 December 2008."
