Additional information:	As required under the DTRs, this notification has been prepared using the total voting rights figure of 12,039,848,432 as set out in the public announcement made by Barclays PLC dated 26 February 2010.  Consequently the quoted percentages of voting rights detailed in this notice have been calculated without the further Barclays PLC ordinary shares to be issued when all the Warrants issued by Barclays PLC of the kind referred to in this notification are exercised.  This results in percentage figures which are artificially high. On a fully diluted basis assuming that all Warrants are exercised the resulting percentage interest would be 9.51%.
