Barclays PLC


Director/PDMR shareholding: Disclosure and Transparency Rules 3.1.4R(1)(a)

On 27 August 2008, Barclays PLC ("the Company") was notified that, following the firm placing, placing and open offer of shares ("the Open Offer") completed by the Company on 22 July 2008 and pursuant to the rules of the Company's share schemes, adjustments have been made to awards and options granted under those schemes to participants in the schemes to take account of the variation of the Company's share capital resulting from the Open Offer on the basis described below. In accordance with the rules of the Company's share schemes, the Company's auditors have confirmed that the adjustments are fair and reasonable and HM Revenue & Customs and the Irish Revenue Commissioners have approved the adjustments to options outstanding under those of the Company's share schemes that have been approved by them. 

The adjustments operate so as to increase the number of shares subject to options and awards by a factor of 1.0268 and, in the case of options (other than those exercisable for nil or nominal consideration), to reduce the exercise price per share by a factor of 0.9739. The adjustments to the awards and options held by the Directors of the Company under each scheme are set out below.

1.     The Company was notified that options granted under the Barclays Sharesave Scheme ("Sharesave"), a HM Revenue & Customs approved all-employee share plan, over ordinary shares in the capital of the Company had been adjusted for the following Directors:
