The amount of ordinary shares of Barclays PLC, nominal value 25p per share ("ordinary
shares"), being registered represents the estimated maximum aggregate amount issuable to
employees in the United States pursuant to each of the Barclays PLC Executive Share Award
Scheme (including the Barclays New Joiners Share Award Scheme), the Barclays PLC Performance Share Plan, the Barclays Group Incentive Share Plan,
Barclays Global Sharepurchase Plan and the Barclays Group Share Value Plan.
(2)
In accordance with Rule 457(h), the maximum offering price per share has been calculated
pursuant to Rule 457(c) based upon the average of the high and low price of the ordinary
shares on the London Stock Exchange of £2.8393 on May 25, 2010. The translation of
pounds sterling into U.S. dollars has been made at the closing spot rate for pounds sterling,
as reported by Bloomberg at 5pm, New York City time, on May 25, 2010. Offering prices are
estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee.
(3)
Barclays PLC previously paid a registration fee of $558,993 with respect to securities that
were previously registered pursuant to the registrant's prior registration statement on Form
F-4 (File no. 333-143666) (the "Form F-4 Registration Statement"), filed on June 12, 2007.
Barclays (Netherlands) N.V. previously paid a registration fee of $512,548 with respect to
securities that were previously registered pursuant to Amendment No. 4 to the Form F-4
Registration Statement, filed on August 3, 2007. Of the combined registration fee of
$1,071,541 paid by Barclays PLC and Barclays (Netherlands) N.V., $118,675.77 has not been
used. In accordance with Rule 457(p), the unused amount of registration fee paid with respect
to the Form F-4 Registration Statement will be applied to pay a portion of the registration
fee payable with respect to the securities registered under this registration statement.
(4)
The ordinary shares may be represented by American Depositary Shares, each of which
represents four ordinary shares. American Depositary Shares, which may be evidenced by
American Depositary Receipts, issuable on deposit of ordinary shares have been registered
pursuant to the separate Registration Statement on Form F-6 (File No. 333-152742).

expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him (i) in defending any criminal or civil
proceedings in connection with any alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of
trust by him in relation to the company or an associated company, or (ii) in connection with an
application for relief (see subsection (5)), or
(b) to enable any such director to avoid incurring such expenditure,
if it is done on the following terms.
(2) The terms are —

incurred under any transaction connected with the thing done is to be discharged, in the event
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) that it is to be so repaid or discharged not later than (i) the date when the

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

(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 of shares by innocent nominee), or section 1157 (general power of court to grant
relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct).
Section 206 (Exception for expenditure in connection with regulatory action or investigation)
of the 2006 Act provides:
Approval is not required under section 197, 198, 200 or 201 (requirement of members'

expenditure incurred or to be incurred by him in defending himself (i) in an investigation by a
regulatory authority, or (ii) against action proposed to be taken by a regulatory authority, in
connection with any alleged negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust by him in
relation to the company or an associated company, or
(b) to enable any such director to avoid incurring such expenditure.

(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

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
company, insurance against any such liability as is mentioned in that subsection.
Section 234 (Qualifying third party indemnity provision) of the 2006 Act provides:
(1) Section 232(2) (voidness of provisions for indemnifying directors) does not apply to
qualifying third party indemnity provision.

Such provision is qualifying third party indemnity provision if the following requirements
are met.
(3) The provision must not provide any indemnity against —

associated company, in which judgment is given against him, or (iii) in connection with an
application for relief (see subsection (6)) in which the court refuses to grant him relief.
(4) The references in subsection (3)(b) to a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief are
to the final decision in the proceedings.
(5) For this purpose —
(a) a conviction, judgment or refusal of relief becomes final (i) if not appealed against,
at the end of the period for bringing an appeal, or (ii) if appealed against, at the time when
the appeal (or any further appeal) is disposed of; and
(b) an appeal is disposed of (i) if it is determined and the period for bringing any
further appeal has ended, or (ii) if it is abandoned or otherwise ceases to have effect.
(6) The reference in subsection (3)(b)(iii) 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 of shares by innocent nominee), or section 1157 (general power of court to grant
relief in case of honest and reasonable conduct).
Section 235 (Qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision) of the 2006 Act provides:

appeal) is disposed of; and
(b) an appeal is disposed of (i) if it is determined and the period for bringing any

Act provides:
(1) This section requires disclosure in the directors' report of —
(a) qualifying third party indemnity provision, and
(b) qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision.
Such provision is referred to in this section as "qualifying indemnity provision".
(2) If when a directors' report is approved any qualifying indemnity provision (whether
made by the company or otherwise) is in force for the benefit of one or more directors of the
company, the report must state that such provision is in force.
(3) If at any time during the financial year to which a directors' report relates any such
provision was in force for the benefit of one or more persons who were then directors of the
company, the report must state that such provision was in force.

company is in force for the benefit of one or more directors of an associated company, the
report must state that such provision is in force.

provision was in force for the benefit of one or more persons who were then directors of an
associated company, the report must state that such provision was in force.

Table of Contents
(1) This section has effect where qualifying indemnity provision is made for a director of

company or an associated company), and
(b) where the provision is made by an associated company, to that company.
(2) That company or, as the case may be, each of them must keep available for inspection —
(a) a copy of the qualifying indemnity provision, or

(3) The copy or memorandum must be kept available for inspection at —
(a) the company's registered office, or
(b) a place specified in regulations under section 1136.
(4) The copy or memorandum must be retained by the company for at least one year from the
date of termination or expiry of the provision and must be kept available for inspection during
that time.
(5) The company must give notice to the registrar —
(a) of the place at which the copy or memorandum is kept available for inspection, and
(b) of any change in that place,
unless it has at all times been kept at the company's registered office.

in default.

fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and, for continued contravention, a daily
default fine not exceeding one-tenth of level 3 on the standard scale.
(5) In the case of any such refusal or default the court may by order compel an immediate
inspection or, as the case may be, direct that the copy required be sent to the person
requiring it.
Section 1157 (Power of court to grant relief in certain cases) of the 2006 Act provides:
(1) If in proceedings for negligence, default, 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.
The
relevant provision of the Articles of Association of Barclays PLC in respect of indemnification of directors and officers  is Article 147.
Article 147 of the articles of association of Barclays provides:
(147.1) To the extent permitted by the  Act and
without prejudice to any indemnity to which he may otherwise be entitled,
 every
person who is or was a director or other officer of the company (other than any person (whether
or not an officer of the company) engaged by the company as auditor) shall be and shall be kept
indemnified out of the assets of the company against all costs, charges, losses and liabilities
incurred by him (whether in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach
of trust by him or otherwise as a director or such other officer of the company) in relation to the company or its affairs provided that such
indemnity shall not apply in respect of any liability incurred by him:
(147.1.1) to the company or to any associated company; or
(147.1.2) to pay a fine imposed in criminal proceedings; or
(147.1.3) 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
(147.1.4) in defending any criminal proceedings in which he or she is convicted; or
(147.1.5) in defending any civil proceedings brought by the company, or an associated
company, in which judgment is given against him; or
(147.1.6) in connection with any application under any of the following provisions in
which the court refuses to grant him relief, namely:
- 7 -
Table of Contents
(a) section 661(3) or (4) of the Act (acquisition of shares by
innocent nominee); or
(b) section 1157 of the Act (general power to grant relief in case
of honest and reasonable conduct).
(147.2) In article 147.1.4, 147.1.5 or 147.1.6 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:
(147.2.1) if not appealed against, at the end of the period for bringing an appeal; or
(147.2.2) if appealed against, at the time when the appeal (or any further appeal) is
disposed of.
(147.2.3) if it is determined and the period for bringing any further appeal has ended; or
(147.2.4) if it is abandoned or otherwise ceases to have effect.
(147.3) To the extent permitted by the Act and without prejudice to any indemnity to which he 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 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:
(147.3.1) to pay a fine imposed in criminal proceedings; or
(147.3.2) 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
(147.3.3) in defending criminal proceedings in which he or 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 147.2 shall apply in determining
when a conviction becomes final.
(147.4) Without prejudice to article 147.1 or 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 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 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.
(147.5) Where at any meeting of the board or a committee of the board any arrangement falling
within article 147.4 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 106 and he shall not be so entitled to vote or be counted in the quorum.
(147.6) 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:
(147.6.1) 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
- 8 -

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
(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
- 9 -
Table of Contents
the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 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 .
(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.
