9. Chain of controlled undertakings through which the voting rights and/or the financial instruments are effectively held, if applicable: xxi
The financial instruments are legally owned by PCP3.  PCP3 is, in turn, wholly owned by NCIL which is, in turn, wholly owned by ADIUI.  ADIUI is, in turn, wholly by HHSM. The triggering transaction is the exercise, on 11 October 2010, of 131,602,175 warrants held by PCP3 into ordinary shares in Barclays PLC.  The exercise has resulted in a notifiable decrease in the percentage level of voting rights held through warrants, and a corresponding notifiable increase in the percentage level of voting rights held through ordinary shares.  Such changes, whilst not affecting the overall percentage level of voting rights held by the notifying parties when calculated in accordance with the Disclosure Rules, are notifiable pursuant to DTR 5.7.1R and 5.7.2G.
Proxy Voting:
10. Name of the proxy holder:
11. Number of voting rights proxy holder will cease to hold:
12. Date on which proxy holder will cease to hold voting rights:
13. Additional information:	As required under the Disclosure Rules, this notification has been prepared using the total voting rights figure of 12,047,979,019 as set out in the regulatory announcement made by Barclays PLC dated 30 September 2010.  Consequently the quoted percentages of voting rights detailed in this notification have been calculated without including the further shares issued upon the exercise of the warrants included in this notification.  This results in the percentage figure for the voting rights held being artificially high.
