General

The contingent capital securities are not deposit liabilities of Barclays PLC and are not insured by any regulatory body of the United States
or the United Kingdom.

Because we are a holding company, our rights to participate in the assets of any of our subsidiaries upon its
liquidation will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiaries’ creditors, including, in the case of our bank subsidiaries, their respective depositors, except, in our case, to the extent that we may ourselves be a creditor with recognized
claims against the relevant subsidiary.

The Contingent Capital Securities Indenture does not limit the amount of contingent capital
securities that we may issue. We may issue the contingent capital securities in one or more series, or as units comprised of two or more related series. A series of contingent capital securities will be perpetual (i.e., without a maturity date).

The prospectus supplement will indicate for each series or of two or more related series of contingent capital securities:

| • |     | the issue date; |

| • |     | the maturity date, if any; |

| • |     | the specific designation and aggregate principal amount of the contingent capital securities; |
