Barclays PLC Share Buy-back Programme

Barclays PLC announced on April 29, 2026, its intention to commence a new share buy-back program of up to £500 million. This program will begin on the business day following the completion of a previous £1,000 million buy-back initiated on February 11, 2026, and is set to conclude by October 24, 2026, pending regulatory approval. The primary objective of this initiative is to reduce the company's share capital, with repurchased ordinary shares being cancelled. Barclays has engaged J.P. Morgan Securities plc to manage the buy-back, which will involve on-market purchases of ordinary shares. These purchases will adhere to pre-established parameters and comply with relevant regulations, including the company's general authority to repurchase shares granted by shareholders and specific provisions of the UK Listing Rules and Market Abuse Regulation. The buy-back will not extend to purchases in the United States or involve the company's American Depositary Receipts. The maximum number of ordinary shares to be repurchased will be determined based on the remaining authorization under the 2025 Authority, after accounting for shares already repurchased in prior programs.
