Barclays PLC Announces Share Buy-Back Programme

Barclays PLC has announced the commencement of a share buy-back programme to purchase ordinary shares of 25 pence each for up to a maximum consideration of £500 million. The buy-back will begin on the business day following the completion of the £1,000 million share buy-back programme that started on 30 July 2025 and will end no later than 20 April 2026, subject to regulatory approval. The purpose of the buy-back is to reduce the company's share capital, and the purchased shares will be cancelled. Barclays has entered into an agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Limited (Citi) to conduct the buy-back on its behalf. Citi will make independent trading decisions in accordance with pre-set parameters and regulatory requirements. The buy-back will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and will not involve repurchases in the United States or of the company's American Depositary Receipts.
