Notice of Annual General Meeting
Barclays announces that its 2020 Annual General Meeting (AGM)
will be at 1 Churchill Place, London E14 5HP on Thursday, 7 May
2020 at 11:00am.
This is a change of venue from our previous announcement that
Barclays would be holding its AGM in Glasgow. In light of the
coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and the UK Government's current
guidance and restrictions on travel and public gatherings, the
decision has been made to move the AGM venue to Barclays'
registered office in London.
In addition to this change of venue, regrettably, under current
UK Government guidance on social distancing and prohibiting
gatherings, it will not be possible for shareholders to attend the
AGM in person, and they will not be permitted entry, unless both
the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and the UK Government guidance
have changed by the date of the meeting. Barclays very much regrets
the need to impose this restriction on attendance as it regards the
AGM as an important date in the Company's corporate calendar and an
important opportunity to engage with shareholders, but it is
important that the Company, its employees and shareholders comply
with the law and prioritise the steps needed to slow the spread of
the virus.
Ensuring that shareholders are able to vote and to raise
questions on the business of the meeting remains a key priority.
Information regarding the revised arrangements for voting and
submitting questions, together with details of the proposed format
of the AGM, is set out in the Notice of AGM.
As set out in the Notice of AGM:
we strongly encourage shareholders to vote on all resolutions
by completing an online proxy appointment form appointing
the chairman of the meeting as your proxy;
any questions on the business of the meeting should be submitted
in advance of the AGM by writing to the Company Secretary
at companysecretary@barclays.com or privateshareholderrelations@barclays.com
by no later than 11:00am on 5 May 2020 and we will provide
written answers to them and, where appropriate, will publish
answers to frequently asked questions on the Company's website.
Shareholders should continue to monitor the Company's website
and announcements for any updates regarding the AGM.
Barclays would like to thank all shareholders for their
co-operation and understanding in these challenging times.
In connection with the AGM, the following documents have been
posted or made available to shareholders today:
1. Notice of the 2020 Annual General Meeting; and
2. Proxy forms for the 2020 Annual General Meeting.
