13. Additional information:

As required under the Disclosure Rules, this notification has been prepared using the total voting rights figure of 12,047,979,019 as set out in the regulatory announcement made by Barclays PLC dated 30 September 2010. Consequently the quoted percentages of voting rights detailed in this notification have been calculated without including the further shares to be issued when the warrants included in this notification are exercised. This results in the percentage figure for the holding of the warrants being artificially high.
