El-Erian2 1/2 Notes 1 There were three scheduled meetings of the Committee in 2024. Mohamed A. El-Erian was unable to attend one meeting due to a prior commitment. 2 Stepped down on 31 August 2024 3 Stepped down with effect from 31 January 2025 Introduction The Committee&#8217;s focus in 2024 has been on ensuring that the Board, Board Committees and ExCo continue to have the right composition of skills, experience, knowledge and diversity of thought, as well as on robust succession planning, to support the delivery of the Group&#8217;s strategy as announced at the Investor Update on 20 February 2024. In 2024, we welcomed Brian Shea to the Board as an additional Non-Executive Director and Mohamed A. El-Erian stepped down from the Board in August. Following nine years' tenure on the Board, Diane Schueneman retired as a Non-Executive Director with effect from 31 January 2025. During 2024, the Committee also oversaw changes to the composition of the Board Committees and ExCo. With the announcement in February 2024 that, going forward, Barclays would be managed and reported via five focused operating divisions, there were a number of changes to ExCo to reflect the leadership of these operating divisions which were also overseen by the Committee. In addition, Board related succession matters are typically discussed at Board level, with the Board having received regular updates on the skills-based Non- Executive Director recruitment priorities during the course of the year. Further details of Board, Board Committee and ExCo changes are discussed later in this report. Committee membership and activity during 2024 The Group Chairman chairs the Committee, with its membership composed solely of independent Non- Executive Directors. In 2024, the Committee met three times with no ad hoc meetings (2023: three times, no ad hoc meetings) and the attendance by members at these meetings is shown on this page. In addition to its members, Committee meetings were attended by representatives from senior management, including the Group Chief Executive and Group HR Director.
