Barclays PLC Sharestore Members Explanatory notes

BARCLAYS

The Board encourages shareholders to vote on all resolutions by completing their Proxy Form to instruct our Registrar, Equiniti, to appoint the Chair of the meeting to cast their votes as directed, even if they intend to attend the AGM. This is to ensure that your votes are counted if you are unable to attend on the day of the AGM. Instructing Equiniti to appoint a proxy will not prevent you from attending the AGM in person and voting on the day. Please monitor home.barclays/agm for any announcements about changes to the AGM arrangements.

The explanatory notes set out below should be read alongside the Notice of Meeting.

1. Who is entitled to vote

Shareholders who want to attend and vote at the AGM must be entered on the Barclays Sharestore register of members by no later than 6:30pm on Tuesday 5 May 2026, or if the AGM is adjourned, no later than 6:30pm on the date falling two days, excluding non-working days, before the time fixed for the adjourned meeting.

1. How to vote

As set out in the Notice of Meeting, the Company is holding the AGM as an in person meeting. Please note that shareholders cannot attend the meeting online or vote online at the meeting.

The Notice of Meeting sets out how you can vote at the AGM.

1. Proxy

You can instruct Equiniti to appoint one or more people (called proxies) to attend, speak and vote on your behalf. A proxy need not be a Barclays shareholder. You are encouraged to instruct Equiniti to appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy even if you intend to attend the AGM, to ensure your vote is counted if you are unable to attend and vote on the day of the AGM.

You can instruct Equiniti to appoint your proxy by logging into or registering at Shareview (shareview.co.uk). Details on how to register are set out on this Proxy Form. You can instruct Equiniti to also appoint your proxy by completing and sending this Proxy Form by post in the enclosed pre-paid envelope. To be valid, proxy appointments must be received by no later than 11:00am on Tuesday 5 May 2026.

Unless you complete the Proxy Form to show how you want them to vote, your proxy or proxies can vote, or not vote, as they see fit, on any matter which is put before the meeting.

1. Multiple proxies

You can instruct Equiniti to appoint more than one proxy, but if more than one proxy is appointed, each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to different shares. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions set out in the Notice of Meeting for details on how to appoint more than one proxy.

1. Attendance at the AGM

If you have been appointed as a proxy for a shareholder or a corporate representative entitled to vote, you should bring photographic proof of identity with you to the AGM to be presented upon request at registration. We reserve the right to refuse entry in the event we are not satisfied with proof of identity.

If you complete the Proxy Form to appoint a proxy or proxies, this will not prevent you from attending and voting at the AGM.

1. Authority and timing

To be valid, you must register your proxy voting instructions online no later than 11:00am on Tuesday 5 May 2026, at shareview.co.uk.

We encourage you to appoint your proxy online. Alternatively, you can return this completed and signed Proxy Form, together with a certified copy of the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is executed, to Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 8JF, United Kingdom, in the pre-paid envelope provided, so that it is received by them no later than 11:00am on Tuesday 5 May 2026.

If you are posting your Proxy Form within the UK, we encourage you to post early and please allow at least three working days for delivery. Please allow extra time if posting from outside the UK or if there are planned UK postal strikes.

1. Joint shareholders

The signature of any one of the joint holders will be enough to instruct Equiniti to appoint the Chair of the meeting or one or more proxies to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.

1. Vote withheld

The 'Vote Withheld' option is given to enable you to abstain on any particular resolution. The 'Vote Withheld' is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the calculation of the proportion of votes 'For' or 'Against' a resolution.

1. Corporate shareholders

In the case of a corporation, this proxy must be given under its common seal or be signed on its behalf by an officer of the company, an attorney for the company or other persons authorised to sign.

If you are attending the meeting as a representative of a shareholder that is a corporation, you will need to show our Registrar, Equiniti, evidence that you have been properly appointed as a corporate representative to gain entry to the AGM.
