Strategic Shareholder Climate and Risk Financial Financial Barclays PLC 239 report information sustainability report Governance review review statements Annual Report 2022 Remuneration report (continued) BPLC only employs a very small number of Head Office employees (51 for 2022) and there is frequent movement of employees between BPLC and other entities within the Barclays Group. To make a meaningful year-on-year comparison, the figures are therefore based on those individuals who were employed by BPLC in both years (34 individuals). The fixed pay increase for this population of 10% is due to a few fixed pay increases following material changes in role in this very small population. The average bonus decrease of 2% is principally a consequence of the decrease in Group-wide incentive pool in 2022. The benefits value has increased due an increase in the cost of income protection and private medical insurance. The table below shows the percentage change in fees each year between 2019 and 2022 for the Chairman and the Non-Executive Directors serving on Barclays PLC Board during 2022, including fees for Board Committee memberships and/or subsidiary board positions. Non-Executive Directors who joined on or after 1 January 2022 are not included. The changes in fees shown relate to changes in responsibilities of the Non-Executive Directors. a a a 2021 / 2022 Fees 2020 / 2021 Fees 2019 / 2020 Fees Nigel Higgins 0% 0% 0% Mike Ashley (2%) 0% 19% b Tim Breedon (19%) 64% 24% Mohamed A.

Additional information has been provided where 2021/2022 percentage changes in fees were greater than 10%. b The decrease in fees from 2021 to 2022 is primarily due to Tim Breedon having retired from his responsibilities as a member of the Board Remuneration Committee of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC on 31 October 2021; he also retired as Chair of the Board Risk Committee of Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC, and as a member of the Barclays Bank PLC Board, in each case with effect from 28 February 2022. c Dawn Fitzpatrick joined the Board Remuneration Committee with effect from 1 July 2021 and the BCSL Board with effect from 27 September 2021 and received pro-rata fees for that year. For 2022, the full year fees of £30,000 and £20,000 respectively were paid, therefore increasing the fees paid from 2021 to 2022. d The increase in fees from 2021 to 2022 is primarily due to Julia Wilson's additional responsibilities in 2022, including becoming a member of the Board Risk Committee and the Board Nominations Committee with effect from 1 September 2022.
