Contingent Capital Notes (“CCNs”) and may not be reproduced or redistributed, in whole or in part, to any other person. Barclays has filed a registration statement

(including a prospectus) and preliminary prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the offering of the CCNs to which this

investor presentation relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement, the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the offering

of the CCNs and other documents that Barclays has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Barclays and the offering of the CCNs. You may obtain these

documents free of charge by visiting the SEC online database (EDGAR®) on the SEC’s website at (http://www.sec.gov). The prospectus dated August 31, 2010 is available

under the following link: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/312070/000119312510201448/df3asr.htm . The preliminary prospectus supplement dated on or about

This presentation is only being distributed to and is only directed at (i) persons who are outside the United Kingdom or (ii) to investment professionals falling within Article

19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (the “Order”) or (iii) high net worth entities, and other persons to whom it may

lawfully be communicated, failing within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”). Any investment activity to

Forward-looking Statements

This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section

27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to certain of Barclays’ plans and its current goals and expectations relating to its future financial condition

and performance. Barclays cautions readers that no forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those

contained in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts.

Forward-looking statements sometimes use words such as “may”, “will”, “seek”, “continue”, “aim”, “anticipate”, “target”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “believe”,

“pro forma”, “projected” or other words of similar meaning. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding Barclays’ future financial

position, income growth, assets, impairment charges, business strategy, capital ratios (including, in particular, its projected CT1 and CET1 ratios), leverage, payment of

dividends, projected levels of growth in the banking and financial markets, projected costs, estimates of capital expenditures and plans and objectives for future operations

and other statements that are not historical fact. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and

circumstances, including, but not limited to, UK domestic, Eurozone and global macroeconomic and business conditions, the effects of continued volatility in credit markets,

market related risks, such as changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, effects of changes in valuation of credit market exposures, changes in valuation of

issued notes, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities (including requirements regarding capital and group structures and the potential for one or

more countries exiting the Eurozone), changes in legislation, the further development of standards and interpretations under International Financial Reporting Standards

(“IFRS”) applicable to past, current and future periods, evolving practices with regard to the interpretation and application of standards under IFRS, the outcome of current

and future legal proceedings, the success of future acquisitions and other strategic transactions, and the impact of competition – a number of such factors being beyond

Barclay’s control. In particular, the CRD IV rules, including with respect to the calculation of common equity tier 1 capital and risk weighted assets, have not been finalized

and remain subject to change by European legislators, and the Financial Services Authority of the United Kingdom (the “FSA”), may also alter its stated approach to the

adoption of CRD IV in the United Kingdom, and, accordingly, the basis on which certain calculations in this investor presentation are made may be different than the

requirements under the final CRD IV rules as they apply in the United Kingdom. As a result of these uncertain events and circumstances, Barclays’ actual future results and

capital ratios may differ materially from the plans, goals, and expectations set forth in Barclay’s forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made herein or

in the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by the FSA, the London Stock Exchange plc or applicable

law, Barclays expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this investor

presentation or the documents incorporated by reference herein to reflect any changes in expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or

circumstances on which any such statement is based. The reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that Barclays has made or may make in documents

that Barclays has filed or may file with the SEC.

INVESTING IN THE CCNs IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES RISK OF LOSING YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

You should carefully review, among other

things, the matters set forth under “Risk Factors” beginning on or about page S-14 of the preliminary prospectus supplement and “Additional information—Risk

factors” beginning on page 265 of Barclays Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011. In particular, you should be aware that, upon

the occurrence of a Capital Adequacy Trigger Event, which will result in an Automatic Transfer (each as defined in the preliminary prospectus supplement),

holders of CCNs will lose their entire investment in the CCNs. Barclays urges you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before

you invest in the CCNs.

This investor presentation includes certain projected capital ratios that are based, in part, on analysts’ consensus estimates for full year 2012 (used in December

2012 and January 2013 calculations) and full year 2013 analysts’ consensus estimates, in each case with respect to the retained earnings and dividend payout

of Barclays PLC on a consolidated basis (“Group”), as described in slides 20 & 21. Any estimates or forecasts regarding the Group’s performance made by such

analysts are theirs alone and do not represent the estimates or forecasts of the Group or its management. The Group neither endorses nor verifies the estimates

used in this investor presentation, which are being used solely for illustrative purposes to show how the Group’s capital ratios are calculated differently before

and after the expected adoption of CRD IV.

This investor presentation includes a calculation of transitional common equity tier 1 ratio, which is a non-IFRS financial measure. Barclays has presented its

transitional common equity tier 1 ratio on a basis that is representative of how it currently understands the CRD IV rules and in accordance with the assumptions

set forth on slides 20 & 21. Management views CRD IV common equity tier 1 ratio as a key measure in monitoring the Group’s capital position. It may be

calculated on a basis that is not consistent with that used by other financial institutions.

Barclays management believes that certain non IFRS measures included in this document provide valuable information to readers of its financial statements and

other documents. For example adjusted performance measures (including profit before tax and adjusted gross leverage) enable the reader to identify a more

consistent basis for comparing the business' performance between financial periods, and provide more detail concerning the elements of performance which the

managers of these businesses are most directly able to influence or are relevant for an assessment of the Group. Non IFRS regulatory metrics (such as CT1

and CET1 ratios, NSFR and LCR) are based on current interpretations of draft Basel 3 implementing legislation in the EU (CRD IV) and UK FSA interpretations

thereof. Although legislation is yet to be finalised and formal reporting against these metrics is not yet required, Barclays management monitors expected

performance against expected final regulatory requirements. They also reflect an important aspect of the way in which operating targets are defined and

performance is monitored by Barclays management. However, any non-IFRS measures in this document are not a substitute for IFRS measures and readers

should, where relevant, consider the comparable IFRS measures as well. For further information please refer to Barclays 6k filings available at the SEC website

address set out in slide 2.

By attending this investor presentation, participants agree not to remove physical copies of the investor presentation from the conference room where it is

provided. Participants agree further not to photograph, copy or otherwise reproduce this investor presentation in any form or pass on, directly or indirectly, this

investor presentation to any other person. Participants must return this investor presentation to Barclays at the completion of this investor presentation.

1. Rationale for Contingent Capital Notes

4 | Contingent Capital Notes | 6 November 2012

Rationale for Contingent Capital Notes -

Executive Summary

Issuing contingent capital that qualifies as “loss absorbing capital”

for the purposes of our nominal capital

requirements, seeks to enhance the transition to our “targeted”

Basel 3 capital structure

•

Having

received

clarity

from

regulators

regarding

the

role

contingent

capital

for

banks,

Barclays

undertaking

global

investor road-show with the aim of exploring Contingent Capital Notes (CCNs)

•

Despite our current and projected capital strength, we believe the development of a contingent capital market represents an

important step in transitioning bank capital structures to meet Basel 3 requirements with maximum efficiency, from both cost and

diversification perspectives

•

Our

primary

considerations

issuing

contingent

capital

this

time

have

included:

Desire

proactively

implement

our

Basel

“target”

capital

structure

Confirmation from UK regulatory authorities that contingent capital with a 7% trigger event will attract 100% benefit towards

our

nominal

“loss

absorbing

capital”

requirements

17% Primary Loss Absorbing Capacity (PLAC) requirement under proposals of UK Independent Commission on Banking

(ICB)

Favourable market conditions for CCN product

•

These CCNs will be a Tier 2 (T2) security that includes a write-off feature should the Group’s published Core Tier 1 (CT1) /

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio, as appropriate, fall below 7% (Trigger Event). In all other respects (both insolvency and/or

resolution

prior

Trigger

Event),

CCNs

will

rank

pari

passu

with

all

Barclays

outstanding

Lower

securities

•

Based on current interpretation of CRD IV, we anticipate that investors will have the benefit of significant capital headroom against

the occurrence of a Trigger Event:

Prior to implementation of CRD IV, buffers of 4.2% (£15.9bn) and 3.9% (£15.4bn) against our 30 September 2012 CT1

ratio of 11.2% and 31 December 2012 CT1 ratio of 10.9%, respectively; thereafter (given UK interpretation of transitional

rules for CRD IV implementation), a buffer of 5.1% (£23.7bn) against our December 2013 CET1 ratio of 12.1%, as set out

in slide 8

Barclays minimum CRD IV G-SIFI CET1 ratio requirements of 9.0% (below which distribution prohibitions apply)

Internal capital management buffer targeting a 10.5% minimum CET1 ratio, post-transition

FPC minutes published on 27 September 2012 (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/records/fpc/pdf/2012/record1209.pdf ), and

FSA announcement on 26 October 2012 (http://www.fsa.gov.uk/about/what/international/basel/crd/ccr_crd/transitional-provisions)

5 | Contingent Capital Notes | 6 November 2012

‘Target’

Capital Structure post CRD IV and ICB

Irrespective of final regulatory outcomes, proposed CRD IV requirements and ICB proposals provide

enough certainty to target an end state capital structure with considerable confidence

•

Barclays “target”

capital structure embraces requirements for G-

SIFI banks under CRD IV and ICB 17% PLAC proposals

•

The target structure opposite anticipates:

Expected 9.0% minimum CET1 ratio requirement under CRD

IV, plus a 1.5% CET1 “internal capital management buffer”

1.5% Additional Tier 1 (AT1) ratio, being the minimum CRD IV

requirement

, and

5% T2/senior unsecured debt capital to meet ICB 17% PLAC

proposal

•

Currently targeting a 2% CCN buffer, with a 7% Trigger Event,

that will comprise 1.5% AT1 (which has to be in contingent

capital form) and 0.5% of T2. We believe this target best aligns

interests of key stakeholders:

Provides going concern “loss absorbing capital”

treatment in

AT1 and incremental T2 component

Falls at the bottom of the G-SIFI capital buffer, incentivising

management actions well in advance of Trigger Event, and

Reduces “moral hazard”

for fixed income investors that an

excessive CCN buffer could introduce

•

Given transition rules on Barclays outstanding T1 stock, AT1 is

currently an inefficient choice for CCNs at the current time

Without this, excess equity is allocated first to AT1 requirement ahead of capital conservation buffers

Strategic view (subject to change) formed on information currently available and on our interpretation of draft CRD IV / ICB proposals and final application in the UK

capital requirements on implementation. The impact of the new calculation against current calculation

is set out below (assuming static RWAs from January 2013 and rolling over 2013 consensus numbers)

•

Prior to the implementation of CRD IV, the 7%

Trigger Event will be measured by reference to

Barclays current published CT1 ratio, as required

by FSA in accordance with its press release to

the British Bankers Association (BBA) in 2009

•

Thereafter, the 7% Trigger Event will be

measured by reference to the CRD IV CET1 ratio,

on the basis of the transition rules set out by FSA

in its press release of 26 October 2012

•

CET1 ratio transition path, as interpreted by FSA,

will be embedded within the trigger of the CCNs,

guarding investors against any subsequent

discretionary acceleration of transitionals

•

The principal difference between current CT1 and

CET1 ratios is the transitional treatment of

intangible assets, £7.6bn of which is added back

to CET1 on CRD IV adoption date with the

deduction phasing back in at 20% per annum

from 2014, in line with current CRD IV

transitionals

•

On CRD IV adoption date, CT1 ratio is expected

to be impacted by c.£91bn additional RWAs. The

same RWA impact under CET1 ratio is expected

to be effectively off-set by the differing intangible

asset treatment

The independent Salz Review of Business Practices was commissioned separately by the Board to:

“Assess the bank’s current values, principles and standards of operation and determine to what extent they need to

change; test how well current decision-making processes incorporate the bank’s values, standards and principles and

outline any changes required; and determine whether or not the appropriate training, development, incentives and

disciplinary processes are in place.”

Its findings will be publically reported in Spring 2013 and its recommendations implemented thereafter

“These results demonstrate that we continue to have good momentum in our businesses

despite the difficulties we faced through this period” (A. Jenkins, Chief Executive)

Liquidity pool amounted to £160bn at end of September 2012, with 87.5% held in cash, high quality

government bonds and deposits with central banks

Barclays continues to maintain a strong and high-quality liquidity pool that consists

exclusively of unencumbered assets

Balances at central banks decreased in Q3, as we continue to optimise cost and composition of liquidity pool

within our liquidity risk appetite framework

Although not a requirement, as at 30 September 2012, liquidity pool was equivalent to more than one year

of wholesale liabilities maturities

Liquidity pool exceeds net stress outflows under all three liquidity stress scenarios:

CRD IV impact on Capital and RWAs

20 | Contingent Capital Notes | 6 November 2012

Proforma Capital Ratios are based on and/or subject to the following:

•

Q4 2012 consensus earnings estimates used for December 2012 and January 2013 calculations and full year 2013 consensus

earnings estimates used for December 2013 calculations, averaged from all 23 sell-side analysts, including consensus dividend

payout. Any estimates or forecasts regarding Barclays performance made by such analysts are theirs alone and do not represent

the estimates or forecasts of Barclays or its management. Barclays neither endorses nor verifies the analyst consensus

estimates herein. The estimates are being solely used to show the difference between the calculation of expected CRD IV CET1

ratio and FSA CT1 ratio

•

Exercise of outstanding warrants, exercisable into ordinary shares of Barclays PLC (£0.8bn). There is a risk that these warrants

will not be exercised if share price does not exceed the strike price of £1.977 by October 2013

•

CRD IV impact on CT1 capital is primarily related to add-back of securitisation deduction

•

No growth in RWAs is assumed for new business activity. However, September 2012 RWAs are assumed to increase in Q4 2012

for increases to our assessment of Operational Risk and regulatory change relating to Commercial Real Estate exposures

(“Slotting”)

•

CRD IV rules as currently drafted being adopted in the UK on 1 January 2013. CRD IV rules remain subject to change and there

is no certainty on adoption date

•

Transitional CT1 ratios post December 2012 does not include CRD IV 2014-2018 phased deductions. These deductions

comprise excess Minority Interests, Deferred Tax Assets (DTAs), Available For Sale (AFS) debt and equity reserve, Expected

Loss (EL) > Impairment, non-significant holdings in financial institutions, Debit Valuation Adjustments (DVA), Prudential Valuation

Adjustments (PVA) and Intangible Assets

•

Other CRD IV impact to RWAs include adjustments for Asset Value Correlation (AVC), withdrawal of national discretion of

definition of default, Central Counter-Party (CCP) clearing, other Counterparty Credit Risk and other individually less material

counterparty credit risk charges, DTAs, and Material Holdings

•

There is a risk that this deduction will have no transitional provisions. If this scenario materialises, January 2013 Transitional CT1

ratio will be c.30bps lower

•

Planned management actions relate principally to Credit Valuation Adjustments (CVA) effects and run down of legacy assets

•

RWAs are subject always to application of accounting standards and volatility in market conditions

CRD IV impact on Capital and RWAs (continued)

FSA:

“CRD

Transitional

Provisions

Capital

Resources”

(26

October

2012)

•

FSA announcement sets out its intended implementation of CRD IV transitional provisions. Changes may occur in

the finalisation of the CRD IV rules and FSA’s implementation thereof; valuation of intangible assets (including the

value attributed to goodwill) may also change over time and other variables (including without limitation the

estimated

CRD

impacts

outlined

above)

may

individually

and/or

the

aggregate

negatively

affect

our

CET1

Ratio and thus increase the risk of a Trigger Event.

•

Post implementation of CRD IV, the FSA has asked banks to publish CET1 as prescribed by CRD IV Transitional

Rules. In addition, the FSA will require certain UK banks to continue to disclose ratios using their 2009 definition of

CT1 capital

•

The key difference between the calculation of CET1 and CT1 is the treatment of intangible assets (including

goodwill), which are already fully deducted from CT1, but will be added back to CET1 at CRD IV adoption date with

the deduction expected to phase back in between 2014-2018 at 20% per year

There can be no assurance that the assumptions set out above will apply or be achieved
