Frits van Paasschen retired at the 2016 Barclays PLC Annual General Meeting and did not seek re-election. Mr van Paasschen therefore resigned from the Board at the conclusion of the meeting.
As at 6.00pm on Tuesday 26 April 2016, the time by which shareholders who wanted to attend, speak and vote at the AGM must have been entered on the Company's register of members, there were 16,907,246,919 ordinary shares in issue. 639 shareholders or persons representing shareholders attended the meeting. Shareholders are entitled to one vote per share. Votes withheld are not votes and, therefore, have not been counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes for and against a resolution.
