Director Share Acquisitions

Barclays executives and directors acquired company shares on September 22, 2026, as part of a reinvestment of their 2026 half-year dividend. Group Chairman and several Non-Executive Directors also acquired ordinary shares on July 28, 2026, under a fee-in-shares policy.

  • Anna Cross: Acquired 91 shares at a price of £4.730 per share.
  • Craig Bright: Acquired 10,354 shares at £4.725 per share and 93 shares at £4.730 per share.
  • Nigel Higgins: Acquired 7,604 ordinary shares at a price of £4.974 per share.
  • Brian Gilvary: Acquired 3,640 ordinary shares at a price of £4.974 per share.

These mandatory fee policies and dividend reinvestments ensure that leadership holds a direct stake in the bank’s long-term trajectory. Such moves are often scrutinized by investors monitoring management alignment.

Share Buy-Back Execution

Barclays has been conducting a share buy-back programme since July 29, 2026, to reduce the company’s share capital. All repurchased shares are intended for cancellation.

  • Total Repurchased: 161,192,083 ordinary shares since July 29, 2026.
  • Average Price: weighted average price of 484.4201p per share.
  • Issued Capital: Capital will consist of 13,351,398,273 ordinary shares following cancellations.

Citigroup Global Markets Limited executed these repurchases to systematically reduce the total number of voting rights. This capital management strategy highlights the ongoing structural adjustments within the bank.
