* 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.
