The warrants and ordinary shares are legally owned by PCP3. PCP3 is, in turn, wholly owned by NCIL which is, in turn, wholly owned by Mr. Al Ketbi.
The triggering transaction is the exercise, on 17 February 2010, of 626,835,443 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, are notifiable pursuant to DTR 5.7.1R and 5.7.2G.

As required under the Disclosure Rules, this notification has been prepared using the total voting rights figure of 11,412,262,573 as set out in the regulatory announcement made by Barclays PLC dated 29 January 2010. Consequently the quoted percentages of voting rights detailed in this notification have been calculated without including the shares issued upon the exercise warrants, nor the further shares to be issued when the warrants included in this notification are exercised. This results in certain percentage figures being artificially high. |
