in connection with your current appointment as an independent non-executive director of the BPLC Board following the separation of Barclays ring fenced and non-ring
fenced banking activities and the stand up of the new Boards of Barclays Bank PLC and Barclays Bank UK PLC. 
 As such, I am pleased to
re-confirm your appointment as an independent non-executive director of BPLC.

	 	2.	 Term  


  

	 	(a)	 Subject to the termination provisions in section 3 below, your appointment will be for an initial term of 3 years from the
date of your appointment and subject to the annual re-election by shareholders (see below). On or before the expiry of your initial term, and subject to the needs of the Board at the time, you may be invited
to serve for a further term of up to three years. Non-executive directors will not usually serve for more than six years, however this is subject to the discretion of the Board Nominations Committee.

	 	  i.	 the Company’s Articles of Association, a copy of which was included in your original appointment pack;

	 	vi.	 the needs of the Board having regard to the skills and experience required to oversee the business, which may change over
time. 










	 	(c)	 You undertake to inform the Company Secretary or Chairman of BPLC or relevant regulatory authority of any change in your
personal or professional circumstances that might impact your ability to continue in your role as an independent non-executive director of BPLC.    This includes, but is not limited to:



  

	 	  i.	 You being charged with and/or convicted of a criminal offence (other than an offence under any road traffic legislation in

	 	3.	 Termination 


  

	 	(a)	 Your appointment is conditional upon you satisfying and maintaining on an ongoing basis, the requirements of section 2
above. 


  

	 	(b)	 This appointment can be terminated at any time by either party giving notice in writing to the other. Both parties agree
that, in order to facilitate an orderly exit and succession, and where circumstances permit, they will provide reasonable notice to the other of their intentions to terminate the appointment.

	 	(e)	 On termination of your appointment and whether or not you have formally resigned from your position, you will be deemed to
have done so. You agree that, on termination, Barclays is entitled to issue any announcements or other filings required as a result of you ceasing to be a director. 



 

	 	4.	 Fees  


  

	 	(a)	 In respect of your appointment, you will receive a fee (‘Fee’) of: 



	 	  i.	 £80,000 per year payable in respect of your directorship of BPLC; and

please let me know and I will arrange this for you. 
  

	 	6.	 Role as a non-executive director

provide effective oversight and constructive challenge, helping to develop proposals on strategy and then fully empowering the executive directors to implement the strategy. 



 

	 	(c)	 Non-executive directors have the same legal responsibilities and duties as any
other director and are required to take decisions in the best interests of the Company. The Board as a whole is collectively responsible for promoting the success of the Company and for supervising the Company’s affairs by providing sound
leadership within a framework of prudent and effective controls and risk management; setting the Company’s strategic aims, ensuring that the necessary financial and human resources are in place for the Company to meet its objectives; reviewing
management performance and setting the Company’s values and standards. 


  

	 	(d)	 During your appointment you agree to diligently perform such duties, responsibilities and functions (whether statutory,
fiduciary or common law) as are consistent with your position and role profile as an independent non-executive director and with any relevant Barclays Group policies and procedures. 



 

	 	7.	 Time Commitment  



 

	 	(a)	 In accepting this appointment, you confirm that you are able to allocate sufficient time to meet the expectations of your
role on the BPLC Board including being available to devote additional time to the role during periods of increased activity or in response to market developments. Directors are also expected to attend the BPLC AGM, usually held in April / May and be
available afterwards to meet with and answer questions from shareholders. 


  

	 	(b)	 The agreement of the Chairman of BPLC must be sought before accepting additional appointments to any other company,
corporate body, or entity, during your tenure that might affect the time that you are able to devote to your role. 


  

	 	(c)	 All directors are expected to attend all Board meetings. The BPLC Board is expected to formally meet up to eight times a
year, including an annual 1-2 day strategy session and on an ad-hoc basis as required. Some of the meetings may be held overseas. You will also be required to attend
meetings of Committees of which you are a member. 


  

	 	(d)	 There is a standing invitation to all non-executive directors to attend any other
BPLC Board Committee meeting. Please inform the relevant BPLC Committee Chairman if you wish to attend a meeting of which you are not a member. 


  

	 	(e)	 Directors are expected to set aside sufficient time to consider the papers in advance of BPLC Board and Committee
meetings. Papers are normally circulated to directors in the week prior to the relevant meeting. 










	 	(f)	 Your average expected time commitment for your role as a BPLC non-executive
director is 30 days per year, including membership of any committees. 


  

	 	8.	 Conflicts of interests and outside interests  



 

	 	(a)	 As a director you have a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and to disclose personal interests in contracts.



  

	 	(b)	 It is accepted and acknowledged that you have business and other interests outside the Company. Subject to such interests
not giving rise to a conflict, the Company does not object to you continuing with such interests provided they have been fully disclosed and accepted by the Company prior to your appointment. Should you become aware of any actual or potential
conflicts of interest in the course of your appointment, these should be discussed with the Chairman of BPLC as soon as possible and authorised by the Board of BPLC. All conflicts must be recorded in accordance with the Board’s stated policy.



  

	 	(c)	 As set out above, you must seek permission from the Chairman of BPLC before taking on any additional outside
interests. 


  

	 	9.	 Induction, Values and Support

comprehensive induction programme, details of which were provided to you when you joined the Board. We will also provide briefings on the details of procedures regarding the disclosure of any conflicts of interest, data protection, the control of
inside information and for obtaining clearance to deal in BPLC shares. 


  

	 	(b)	 The Barclays Values (Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship) are a central part of everything we do. The
Values form a critical part of how Barclays is changing, as well as our purpose and behaviours. You will be expected to act in accordance with the Values as a non-executive director of the Company, and, in
particular, to follow our Code of Conduct (known as the Barclays Way). 


  

	 	(c)	 On-going training and briefings on particular topics will be made available,
including any topics that you may request. 


  

	 	(d)	 As Company Secretary, I am available to all directors to support the effective discharge of their duties and to assist

	 	(e)	 Occasions may arise when you consider that you need professional advice in the furtherance of your duties as a director.
Where it is deemed appropriate for you to seek advice from independent legal advisers, you may, with the prior written agreement of the Company Secretary, seek independent advice at Barclays’ expense.

the course of your appointment you will have access to and knowledge of, the trade secrets and confidential information of the Company and the Barclays Group. You acknowledge that the disclosure of any trade secrets or confidential information to
actual or potential competitors of the Company and/or any Barclays Group company would place the Company and/or the Barclays Group at a serious competitive disadvantage and would do serious damage, financial and/or otherwise, to its or their

appointment in performing your duties as non-executive director will belong to the Barclays Group and will be handed over to Barclays together with any copies promptly from time to time on reasonable request
of any Barclays Group Company and at the end of your appointment.
