This notification replaces the filing released on 08 November 2012. The delta ratios used to calculate the voting rights attributable to the warrants to subscribe for ordinary shares and the options on ordinary shares were incorrect. The delta ratios have been recalculated and Qatar Holding LLC's interest in the voting rights of Barclays plc did not cross the 9% threshold on 31 October 2012, and remains below 9%.
As required under the DTRs, this notification has been prepared using the total voting rights figure of 12,240,950,753 as set out in the public announcement made by Barclays plc dated 30 October 2012. |
