#### Barclays PLC

#### Commencement of Buy-back
Barclays PLC (the " Company ") announces that, as disclosed in its announcement on 13 February 2025, it will commence a share buy-back programme to purchase ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the Company (" Ordinary Shares ") for up to a maximum consideration of £1,000m (the " Buy-back "). The Buy-back will commence on 14 February 2025 and end no later than 13 November 2025 (subject to regulatory approval remaining in place). The purpose of the Buy-back is to reduce the share capital of the Company and therefore Ordinary Shares purchased under the Buy-back will be cancelled.

The Company has entered into an agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities plc (" J.P. Morgan ") to conduct the Buy-back on its behalf and carry out on-market purchases of Ordinary Shares, acting as riskless principal, and to on-sell such Ordinary Shares to the Company.
