3.Place of Work and Mobility    

Your place of work is as set out in your Summary of Key Terms. However, you may need to travel to other locations and offices as reasonably required in the performance of your duties. You agree that you will travel to such places (both inside and outside the UK) as the Company may reasonably require from time to time. Should the Company need to permanently change your place of work, you will be given reasonable notice of any such change.

4.Duties

4.1.During your employment with the Company you (i) acknowledge that your seniority and the fiduciary nature of your position place you in a position of trust; and (ii) agree that you will:

(a)act in a manner consistent with and which supports our purpose and values and in particular the Barclays Values;

(b)devote the whole of your working time and attention to the business of the Company and the Barclays Group;

(c)diligently and faithfully perform such duties and exercise such powers and functions as may reasonably be assigned to you by the Company in relation to its business and that of the Barclays Group to the best of your ability and with integrity, due skill, care and diligence;

(d)use your best efforts to promote and protect the interests of the Company and the Barclays Group and not do anything to harm those interests;

(e)comply with your Statement of Responsibilities and with the Conduct Rules in force from time to time;

(f)comply with all reasonable requests, instructions and regulations given by the Company and the Barclays Group and promptly provide such explanations, information and assistance as to your activities in the business of the Company and the Barclays Group as they may reasonably need;

(g)neither engage in any activities which would detract from the proper performance of your duties under this Agreement, nor (without the prior written consent of the Company) in any capacity including as director, shareholder, principal, consultant, agent, partner or employee engage or be concerned or interested directly or indirectly in any other trade, business or occupation whatsoever. This paragraph will not prevent you holding for investment purposes only, shares or securities which do not exceed three per cent (3%) in nominal value of the share capital or stock of any class of any company quoted on a recognised stock exchange;

(h)comply with the conflicts of interest policy applicable to you and will not engage or be interested in any activities which place you in a position where your interests conflict improperly with those of the Barclays Group, its clients, customers or shareholders. The Company recognises that, on occasion, a conflict of interest may arise which is unavoidable. In such circumstances you must make the Group Chairman or Barclays


Group Compliance aware of the issue immediately. You must not act in relation to the matter, without their written direction or approval;

(i)comply with any policies and procedures applicable to you in relation to any Barclays Group company or Regulatory authorisation (including, but not limited to, any policy or procedure applicable to any Certified Role or Senior Manager role you hold from time to time); and

(j)report any actual or proposed unlawful activity or behaviour affecting the Barclays Group by you or any other employee, officer, contractor of the Barclays Group or any other person to the Group Chairman (or, if they are potentially involved in such unlawful activity or behaviour, to the other members of the Board) immediately on becoming aware of it.

4.2    As you are to be a director and officer of the Barclays Group you shall be a beneficiary of the indemnification of directors of officers in the articles of association of Barclays PLC (article 146) as amended from time to time. You will also have the benefit of such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as may be purchased by Barclays from time to time, subject to its terms and conditions.

5.Fixed Pay

5.1    50% of your Fixed Pay will be paid monthly in cash on or around 23rd of each month and is subject to tax and other applicable withholdings. The remaining 50% will be delivered in Shares, quarterly in equal amounts subject to a holding period (restrictions lifting as to 20% on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date on which the Shares are deposited with the Barclays nominee). Your Fixed Pay and allowances will accrue on a daily basis and will be paid pro rata if you are employed for part of a month, for that element payable in cash, or for part of a quarter, for that element delivered in Shares. The Fixed Pay set out in the Summary of Key Terms is your Fixed Pay prior to participation in any salary sacrifice arrangements. If you participate in any such arrangements via My Rewards, your Fixed Pay would be reduced as appropriate to reflect the terms of your participation, and your post sacrifice Fixed Pay will be reflected in your payslip.

5.2    Your Fixed Pay will be reviewed (including its delivery), without commitment to increase, if and when a new Directors’ Remuneration Policy is approved by shareholders or at any other time permissible under any Barclays Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders and as applicable from time to time. The Company may deduct from any payments to you any money owed to any Barclays Group Company.

6.Discretionary incentive award

6.1    You may be eligible to be considered for a discretionary incentive award on an annual basis up to a maximum of 93% of Fixed Pay, or such other maximum as set out in any Barclays Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders and as applicable from time to time. The value, form, conditions of delivery and timing of any such awards are at the Barclays Group’s discretion, in accordance with its approach to discretionary incentive awards, as amended from time to time. This discretion includes the right to make the award or a proportion of the award in a form other than cash, including an award of Shares and to defer an element of an award under the terms of a Barclays Group incentive plan.

6.2    Any discretionary incentive award will only be made if, at that time, you are in employment with the Barclays Group and are not under notice of the termination of your employment (whether given or received) subject to the discretion of the Remuneration Committee to be applied in accordance with the terms of any Barclays Directors’ Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders and as applicable from time to time.

6.3    You will be eligible to be considered on an annual basis for participation in the Barclays Long Term Incentive Plan or an alternative long term incentive plan at the Company’s discretion (the “Barclays LTIP”) in any year in which such a plan is operated by the Company subject to the rules of the Barclays LTIP in force from time to time, up to a maximum value at grant of 140% of Fixed Pay or such other maximum, as set out in any Barclays Director’s Remuneration Policy approved by shareholders and as applicable from time to time. Any award or recommendation shall be at the absolute discretion of the Company.

6.4    If you are subject to any investigation or disciplinary process at the time when communication, payment or making of any payment and/or award would otherwise occur, then the delivery of that payment and/or award will be suspended. If on conclusion of any investigation and/or disciplinary process, you are dismissed for gross misconduct or cause and/or have committed


any serious breach of the Risk and/or Compliance requirements of the Barclays Group, then no payment and / or award will be made to you. If no disciplinary action (or disciplinary action short of dismissal) is taken against you, then a payment and/or award may be made to you after the conclusion of that process. However, the amount of any award and/or payment to which you are entitled may be reduced by the Company in its sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, any award and/or payment may be reduced to nil in such circumstances.

6.5    Notwithstanding paragraph 6.4 any unpaid or unvested award (or portion of an unpaid or unvested award) may be reduced (‘malused’) (to nil if appropriate) at the discretion of a Barclays Group company. For the avoidance of doubt, a Barclays Group company may exercise its discretion including as a result of:

(a)Barclays PLC or any subsidiary's financial statements having been materially restated for the period for which the award was made other than restatement due to a change in accounting policy or to rectify a minor error; or

(b)The Barclays Group or any business unit having suffered a material downturn in its financial performance; or

(c)Your actions having, in the reasonable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, following consultation with the Company:

i.deliberately misled the management of the Company, the market and/or Barclays shareholders regarding the financial performance of Barclays or of any subsidiary;

ii.caused harm to the reputation of the Barclays Group;

iii.amounted to misconduct, negligence, incompetence or poor performance (“misconduct”, "negligence", "incompetence", and "poor performance" as determined by the Remuneration Committee acting in good faith, following consultation with the Company); or

(d)The Barclays Group or any of its subsidiaries, in the reasonable opinion of the Remuneration Committee, following consultation with the Barclays Board Risk Committee, has suffered a material failure of risk management.

6.6     Should a Barclays Group company become aware that the amount of any award that has been paid or released to you was calculated on the basis of any false, incorrect or misstated information, then, that company may, within one year of any such payment or release being made, request that you repay any amount (or part of any amount) as may be determined in that company’s discretion, acting in good faith. You agree that in the event a repayment obligation arises the Company is authorised to deduct the appropriate amount from your Fixed Pay or any other amounts due to you.

6.7    Within the Barclays Group, certain roles are designated as “Material Risk Taker” (MRT) roles. As you are a MRT and PRA Senior Manager, at any time within a seven year period (extending to ten years in the circumstances described below) from the date on which any variable remuneration is awarded to you in respect of a period for which you are a MRT and Senior Manager (the “Relevant Variable Remuneration”), if a Barclays Group company determines that:

(a)your actions or omissions at any time have, in the reasonable opinion of the Barclays Group company amounted to misbehaviour or material error; and/or

(b)a Barclays Group company or the relevant business unit has suffered a material failure of risk management,

then, without prejudice to any Barclays Group company’s other remedies, the Barclays Group company may require that you repay an amount, not exceeding the value of the Relevant Variable Remuneration. The repayment (‘clawback’) shall be of such value as may be determined in the Barclays Group company’s discretion acting in good faith, to such Barclays Group company and on such terms as it may direct.

Please note that as you are a PRA Senior Manager, the seven year period can be extended to ten years in circumstances where either Barclays or a Regulator (including any overseas authority) has commenced an investigation which could potentially lead to the application of clawback were it not for the expiry of the seven year clawback period.



In respect of paragraph (b) above, the Barclays Group company shall take into account your proximity to the applicable failure and your level of responsibility before any request for repayment is made. In respect of paragraphs (a) and (b) above, before any request for repayment is made, the Barclays Group company shall take into consideration whether you (i) have participated in, or were responsible for, conduct which resulted in significant losses to the Barclays Group or (ii) failed to meet appropriate standards of fitness and propriety.

For the avoidance of doubt, the whole or any part of the Relevant Variable Remuneration can be clawed back if the Barclays Group company makes its determination within seven years (or ten years in the circumstances described above) from the date that the Relevant Variable Remuneration was awarded to you even if an event falling within (a) or (b) above occurred prior to the date of the award.

The determination of what constitutes “misbehaviour”, “material error”, “material failure of risk management”, “significant losses” and “appropriate standards of fitness and propriety” shall all be determined by the Barclays Group company acting in good faith.

You agree that in the event a Barclays Group company makes a repayment determination, you shall repay the amount subject to that determination within the time period specified in the determination. You further agree and provide authorisation for the Company and any other Barclays Group company to deduct the appropriate repayment amount from your Fixed Pay or any other amounts due to you, to the full extent permitted under local law, whether from the Company or any other Barclays Group company.

You acknowledge that (in addition to its rights at paragraph 17 (Amendments to terms and conditions of employment) the terms of this paragraph 6.7 may be amended by the Company to the extent deemed reasonably necessary in order to comply with law, regulations or guidance published by any regulatory authority or other relevant authority from time to time.

This paragraph shall apply in addition to the general right of repayment set out in paragraph 6.6 of the Agreement.

6.8    A payment of cash and / or a release of Shares or other instruments under an award will be subject to tax and other applicable withholdings and will be subject to the rules of any applicable incentive plan as amended from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, any tax liability which arises in excess of the statutory withholdings that the Company is required to make will be your responsibility.

6.8    A release or grant of Shares will only be made at a time when Barclays is not subject to any restrictions (such as the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation as to closed and / or prohibited periods) on the granting or release of awards.

6.9    You agree that you will not put in place personal hedging strategies, insurance contracts or any other arrangements designed to undermine the risk alignment effects (whether by means of share price fluctuations, the operation of malus and / or clawback or by any other means) of your variable remuneration. Contravening this restriction would be considered a disciplinary offence, which could result in action up to and including dismissal for cause/gross misconduct.

6.10    For the avoidance of doubt, any awards made to you will not form part of your pensionable pay.

6.11    You have no contractual right to receive an award, and the making of an award in any year does not give rise to any obligation on the Barclays Group to, or legitimate expectation that the Barclays Group will, make an award in any future year.

7.Benefits

7.1    The Company operates My Rewards, a flexible benefits programme for its employees that provides you with the opportunity to choose your benefits from a range included in the programme. Benefits available to you are set out in full on the My Rewards website.

7.2    The Company has the right at its absolute discretion to amend or withdraw the benefits included in My Rewards at any time and without any compensation or notice to you and / or replace My Rewards with an alternative programme at its discretion.

7.3    Participation in any benefits scheme under My Rewards is subject to the rules of the relevant schemes, which may vary from time to time, and is subject to you satisfying any applicable requirements of the insurers or third party providers (where relevant). Scheme rules, including any exclusions or terms and conditions relevant to participation, will be published via My Rewards. Employees must read the guidance provided. Help lines are published to aid


employees in the event of any query. Any failure to meet scheme rules will result in exclusion from participation.

8.Annual Leave

8.1    Your annual leave entitlement is set out in the Summary of Key Terms. The Company’s annual leave year runs from 1 April to the 31 March the following year. Your annual leave dates must be agreed in advance with the Group Chairman. You are obliged to take all your annual leave entitlement in the relevant year. However, a maximum of 5 days’ annual leave may be carried over to the next annual leave year with the express written consent of the Group Chairman.

8.2        If your employment begins during the annual leave year, your annual leave entitlement (plus any Bank or Public Holidays which fall during this period), will be calculated pro rata. On leaving the Company’s employment, the Company reserves the right to ask you to take any unused accrued annual leave during your Notice Period. Alternatively, at the Company’s sole discretion you may be paid Fixed Pay pro rata in lieu of any (accrued but untaken) annual leave entitlement. If you have taken more annual leave than your accrued entitlement, you may be required to repay to the Company an amount equivalent to any annual leave taken in excess of your pro rata annual leave entitlement, and the Company is authorised to deduct the appropriate amount from your final cash instalment of your Fixed Pay or any other sum owed by the Company to you at the Termination Date.
9.Intellectual Property

9.1For the purposes of this paragraph:

"Intellectual Property Rights" means (i) copyright and related rights, patents, know-how, rights in undisclosed or confidential information, trade secrets, database rights, Inventions, semi-conductor topography rights, and rights in trademarks and designs (whether registered or unregistered), (ii) applications for registration, and the right to apply for registration, for any of the same, (iii) rights to use such assets listed in (i), (ii) and (iv) under licences, consents, orders, statutes or otherwise, and (iv) all other intellectual property rights and equivalent or similar forms of protection existing anywhere in the world;
