Note:
a) ESAS is a deferred share award plan in which awards are initially
granted in the form of a provisional allocation and do not give rise to any
entitlement to the shares. These awards were granted in the years 1999 to 2003,
and include mandatory bonus deferrals.
b) Under ESAS any shares granted as a provisional allocation are normally
granted as a nil cost option at the third anniversary. The shares shown under
option in this column are already included in the numbers shown in the first
column. The shares under option do not include accumulated dividend shares
under option as follows: 8,996 shares for Roger Davis; 1,602 shares for Gary
Hoffman; 1,062 shares for David Roberts.
c) Voluntary ESAS is an additional award under ESAS following a director
requesting that part of the cash bonus to which he would otherwise become
entitled be waived and is granted as a right to acquire shares which will become
fully exercisable after five years.
No consideration was paid for the grant of any award.

directors and senior executives of Barclays PLC, have an interest as potential
beneficiaries in 82,797,943 shares in Barclays PLC ordinary shares held by the
independent trustees of the Barclays Group employees' benefit trusts. These are
discretionary trusts established for the benefit of Barclays Group employees and
former employees (and in each case their families) all of whom are amongst the
potential beneficiaries under these trusts and are therefore regarded for

held in them. No consideration is payable by a potential beneficiary for the
