authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (howsoever arising);
(146.1.4) in defending any criminal proceedings
in which he/she is convicted;
(146.1.5) in defending any civil proceedings
brought by the Company, or an associated company, in which judgment is given against him/her; or
(146.1.6) in connection with any application
under any of the following provisions in which the court refuses to grant him/her relief, namely:
(a) section 661(3) or (4) of the Act (acquisition
of shares by innocent nominee); or

grant relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct).
(146.2) In articles 146.1.4, 146.1.5 or 146.1.6
the reference to a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief is a reference to one that has become final. A conviction, judgment or refusal
of relief becomes final:
(146.2.1) if not appealed against, at the end
of the period for bringing an appeal; or
(146.2.2) if appealed against, at the time when
the appeal (or any further appeal) is disposed of.
An appeal is disposed of:
(146.2.3) if it is determined and the period
for bringing any further appeal has ended; or
(146.2.4) if it is abandoned or otherwise ceases
to have effect.
(146.3) To the extent permitted by the Act and
without prejudice to any indemnity to which he/she may otherwise be entitled, every person who is or was a director of the Company acting
in its capacity as a trustee of an occupational pension scheme shall be and shall be kept indemnified out of the assets of the Company
against all costs, charges, losses and liabilities incurred by him/her in connection with the Company's activities as trustee of
the scheme provided that such indemnity shall not apply in respect of any liability incurred by him/her:
(146.3.1) to pay a fine imposed in criminal
proceedings;
(146.3.2) to pay a sum payable to a regulatory
authority by way of a penalty in respect of non-compliance with any requirement of a regulatory nature (howsoever arising); or
(146.3.3) in defending criminal proceedings
in which he/she is convicted.
For the purposes of this article, a reference
to a conviction is to the final decision in the proceedings. The provisions of article 146.2 shall apply in determining when a conviction
becomes final.
(146.4) Without prejudice to article 146.1 or
to any indemnity to which a director may otherwise be entitled, and to the extent permitted by the Act and otherwise upon such terms and
subject to such conditions as the board may in its absolute discretion think fit, the board shall have the power to make arrangements
to provide a director with funds to meet expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him/her in defending any criminal or civil proceedings
or in connection with an application under section 661(3) or (4) of the Act (acquisition of shares by innocent nominee) or section 1157
of the Act (general power to grant relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct) or in defending himself/herself in an investigation
by a regulatory authority or against action proposed to be taken by a regulatory authority or to enable a director to avoid incurring
any such expenditure.

(146.5) Where at any meeting of the board or
a committee of the board any arrangement falling within article 146.4 is to be considered, a director shall be entitled to vote and be
counted in the quorum at such meeting unless the terms of such arrangement confers upon such director a benefit not generally available
to any other director; in that event, the interest of such director in such arrangement shall be deemed to be a material interest for
the purposes of article 107 and he/she shall not be so entitled to vote or be counted in the quorum.
(146.6) To the extent permitted by the Act,
the board may exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a person who is or was:
(146.6.1) a director, alternate director or
secretary of the Company or of a company which is or was a subsidiary undertaking of the Company or in which the Company has or had an
interest (whether direct or indirect); or
(146.6.2) trustee of a retirement benefits scheme
or other trust in which a person referred to in article 146.6.1 is or has been interested,
indemnifying him/her and keeping him/her indemnified
against liability for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust or other liability which may lawfully be insured against
by the Company.

such expenditure,
if it is done on the following terms.
(2) The terms are—

of (i) the director being convicted in the proceedings, (ii) judgment being given against him in the proceedings, or (iii) the
court refusing to grant him relief on the application; and

(b) if appealed against, when the appeal (or
any further appeal) is disposed of.
(4) An appeal is disposed of—

to have effect.

(5) The reference in subsection (1)(a)(ii)
to an application for relief is to an application for relief under section 661(3) or (4) (power of court to grant relief in case of acquisition

Section 206 (Exception for expenditure in connection
with regulatory action or investigation) of the 2006 Act provides:
Approval is not required under section 197,

by a regulatory authority, or (ii) against action proposed to be taken by a regulatory authority, in connection with any alleged

(b) to enable any such director to avoid incurring
such expenditure.
Section 232 (Provisions protecting
directors from liability) of the 2006 Act provides:
(1) Any provision that purports to exempt a
director of a company (to any extent) from any liability that would otherwise attach to him in connection with any negligence, default,
breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company is void.
(2) Any provision by which a company directly or indirectly
provides an indemnity (to any extent) for a director of the company, or of an associated company, against any liability attaching to him
in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he is a director is
void, except as permitted by—
(a) section 233 (provision of insurance),
(b) section 234 (qualifying third party indemnity
provision), or
(c) section 235 (qualifying pension scheme
indemnity provision).
(3) This section applies to any provision,
whether contained in a company's articles or in any contract with the company or otherwise.
(4) Nothing in this section prevents a company's
articles from making such provision as has previously been lawful for dealing with conflicts of interest.
Section 233 (Provision of insurance) of the
2006 Act provides:
Section 232(2) (voidness of provisions
for indemnifying directors) does not prevent a company from purchasing and maintaining for a director of the company, or of an associated

the time when the appeal (or any further appeal) is disposed of; and

breach of duty or breach of trust against—
(a) an officer of a company, or
(b) a person employed by a company as auditor
(whether he is or is not an officer of the company),
it appears to the court hearing the case that
the officer or person is or may be liable but that he acted honestly and reasonably, and that having regard to all the circumstances of
the case (including those connected with his appointment) he ought fairly to be excused, the court may relieve him, either wholly or in
part, from his liability on such terms as it thinks fit.
-

-
(2) If any such officer or person has reason
to apprehend that a claim will or might be made against him in respect of negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust—
(a) he may apply to the court for relief, and
(b) the court has the same power to relieve
him as it would have had if it had been a court before which proceedings against him for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach
of trust had been brought.
(3) Where a case to which subsection (1) applies
is being tried by a judge with a jury, the judge, after hearing the evidence, may, if he is satisfied that the defendant (in Scotland,
the defender) ought in pursuance of that subsection to be relieved either in whole or in part from the liability sought to be enforced
against him, withdraw the case from the jury and forthwith direct judgment to be entered for the defendant (in Scotland, grant decree
of absolvitor) on such terms as to costs (in Scotland, expenses) or otherwise as the judge may think proper.
In addition, Barclays PLC has procured directors'
and officers' liability insurance, for the benefit of its directors and officers against suit by third parties. The terms and extent

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts
or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and
-
8
-
(iii) to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
provided however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference into the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
and
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
