Barclays PLC
Director/PDMR shareholding: Disclosure and Transparency Rules 3.1.4R(1)(a)
On 27 August 2008, Barclays PLC ("the Company") was notified that, following the firm placing, placing and open offer of shares ("the Open Offer") completed by the Company on 22 July 2008 and pursuant to the rules of the Company's share schemes, adjustments have been made to awards and options granted under those schemes to participants in the schemes to take account of the variation of the Company's share capital resulting from the Open Offer on the basis described below. In accordance with the rules of the Company's share schemes, the Company's auditors have confirmed that the adjustments are fair and reasonable and HM Revenue & Customs and the Irish Revenue Commissioners have approved the adjustments to options outstanding under those of the Company's share schemes that have been approved by them.
The adjustments operate so as to increase the number of shares subject to options and awards by a factor of 1.0268 and, in the case of options (other than those exercisable for nil or nominal consideration), to reduce the exercise price per share by a factor of 0.9739. The adjustments to the awards and options held by the Directors of the Company under each scheme are set out below.
1. The Company was notified that options granted under the Barclays Sharesave Scheme ("Sharesave"), a HM Revenue & Customs approved all-employee share plan, over ordinary shares in the capital of the Company had been adjusted for the following Directors:
Director/PDMR |
Number of shares under Option before adjustment |
Total Number of shares under Option following adjustment |

Note:
The number of shares held by Mr R E Diamond Jr includes his award under the Retained Incentive Opportunity.
The number of shares held by Mr F F Seegers following the adjustment has been reduced to reflect that 80,221 shares were released to him on 30 June 2008.
Under PSP, awards are granted as a provisional allocation and do not give rise to any entitlement to the shares. At the third anniversary, shares may be released by the trustee subject to performance conditions being satisfied.
Price adjustments have not been made for ESAS or PSP awards where the exercise price is nil or nominal consideration.
