Dividends
We will accelerate our progressive dividend policy from 2014, targeting
a payout ratio of 30% over time. It is our policy to pay cash dividends
on a quarterly basis. There will be three equal quarterly payments
in June, September and December and a final variable payment in
March each year.
Save time and receive your dividends faster!
You can choose to have your dividends paid directly into your bank
or building society account. It is easy to set up and your money will
be in your bank account on the dividend payment date. If you hold
2,500 shares or less, you can provide your bank or building society
details quickly and easily over the telephone using the contact
details overleaf. If you hold more than 2,500 shares, please write
to The Registrar.

Shareholder Security
Shareholders should be very wary of any unsolicited investment
advice and offers to buy shares at a discounted price. These calls
are typically from fraudsters operating ‘boiler rooms’. If you are
concerned that you may have been targeted by fraudsters please
contact The Registrar to Barclays.
More information about these scams and information on
how you can protect yourself is available from the FSA at
www.fsa.gov.uk/consumerinformation/scamsandswindles
Unclaimed dividends
We are aware that some shareholders do not keep their personal
details on the share register up to date. Therefore we conducted
a tracing process to re-unite over 24,000 Barclays Sharestore
members, identified by The Registrar as having lost contact with us,
with their unclaimed dividends. As at 31 December 2012, we had
returned £1.8 million of unclaimed dividends to our shareholders.
Keep your personal details up to date
Please remember to tell The Registrar if you move house or need to
update your bank details. If you are a Barclays e-view member, you
can update your details online. If you hold 2,500 shares or less, you
can change your address or update your bank details quickly and easily
over the phone using the contact details opposite. If you hold more
than 2,500 shares you will need to write to The Registrar. You must
provide a copy of your share certificate, Sharestore statement or recent
dividend tax voucher. If these are not available, you will need to provide
a copy of a utility bill dated in the last three months.
Duplicate documents
If you receive duplicate documents and split dividends on your Barclays
shares, this may be because you have more than one account on the
Barclays share register. If you think that this affects you and you would like
to combine your shareholdings, please contact The Registrar to Barclays.
ShareGift your shares
ShareGift, the charity donation scheme, is a free service for
shareholders wanting to give shares to charitable causes.
Further information can be obtained at www.sharegift.org
or by telephoning ShareGift on [phone].
