Immediately following the decision that Anna Cross would be appointed to succeed him with effect from 23 April 2022, the Committee considered the level of Fixed Pay Anna Cross should receive, taking into account the role, her relevant skills and experience, and pay levels at other comparable firms (on which the Committee receives independent advice), in the context of wider workforce pay levels and the experience of our stakeholders. Banking regulation in the UK and Europe caps variable pay as a percentage of Fixed Pay for senior roles including the Executive Directors and so providing a suitable level of total compensation within the constraint of those regulations is a key driver of the Executive Directors’ Fixed Pay levels. Pay benchmarking data is used as a reference point to ensure that the total compensation opportunity provided to the Executive Directors is appropriately positioned compared to other similar large and complex international banks. Comparing the Executive Directors' pay solely with other UK-listed banks would not recognise the Group's global footprint and diversified universal banking model, which includes significant corporate banking, investment banking and global markets businesses. The international banking peer group used by the Committee when considering the Executive Directors' pay includes other large universal banks from continental Europe, and the large US universal and investment banks, plus the most comparable to Barclays of the larger UK-listed banks and BNP Paribas in France, to help maintain balance.
