 way Barclays monitors and improves Committee performance and effectiveness, maximising strengths and highlighting areas for further development. CSA conducted a comprehensive review of all aspects of each Board Committee&#8217;s effectiveness, including with regard to meeting dynamics and constructive challenge, agendas, papers, Committee composition and interaction with the Board and other Board Committees. The results of the 2024 Board Nominations Committee effectiveness review are reported below, and the results of the reviews of the effectiveness of the other Board Committees are reported within their individual reports elsewhere in this Board Governance report.

Review of Board Nominations Committee effectiveness As part of the review of this Committee&#8217;s effectiveness, CSA conducted one-on- one interviews with each member of the Committee and the Group Human Resources Director. The results of the review confirm the Committee is operating effectively. It is considered to be well constituted and chaired, providing an effective and appropriate level of constructive challenge and oversight of the areas within its remit, with feedback confirming a good level of engagement from Directors in meetings. The review highlights that the Committee is considered to have the right level of skills and experience and is of an appropriate size. The Committee&#8217;s interaction with the Board, Board Committees and senior management is considered effective, noting that the Committee is well integrated into overall Board processes. The review recognised the importance that both the Committee and the Board place on effective succession planning for the Board and ExCo and key subsidiaries within the Group. This work is coupled with a focus on broader talent development across the business. Feedback indicated that concurrent meetings of the BPLC and BBPLC Board Nominations Committee continue to be effective, with coverage of BBPLC matters considered appropriate. Interaction with the BBUKPLC Board Nominations Committee was also considered effective, confirming that the Committee continues to exercise appropriate oversight of issues relevant to the Committee&#8217;s remit relating to BBUKPLC.
