EXTENSION OF BUY-BACK PROGRAMME
Barclays PLC announces that its current share buy-back programme will be
extended until 31 January 2008. Apart from the date of expiry, the details of
the buy-back programme remain as announced on 5 October 2007. The objective of
the extended programme remains to immunise the dilutive effect of the issuance
of shares to China Development Bank and Temasek on existing shareholders.
To date Barclays has in aggregate acquired approximately 291.90 million shares
for cancellation at an average price of 600.326 pence. GBP647.66 million remains
available to purchase a maximum of 44.90 million shares for cancellation from
today until 31 January 2008.
