9. Chain of controlled undertakings through which the voting rights and/or thefinancial instruments are effectively held, if applicable: xxi

The cash-settled options are legally owned by YCL. YCL is, in turn, wholly owned by HHSM.

The triggering event is a decrease in the total voting rights deemed to be held by YCL under the cash-settled options (pursuant to DTR 5.3.1R) to 13,297,166. Accordingly, as a result of the triggering event, YCL is deemed to hold directly, and HHSM is deemed to hold indirectly, 0.103% of the voting rights in Barclays PLC through YCL's total holding of cash-settled options.

For the avoidance of doubt, YCL has no right to acquire or exercise any voting rights in Barclays PLC.

The indirect holding by HHSM of the cash-settled options, when aggregated with HHSM's pre-existing indirect holding of ordinary shares (which has been the subject of previous notifications), is now less than the 6% threshold for voting rights that is notifiable by HHSM pursuant to DTR 5.1.2R.
