Statement re: Sir Michael Rake
Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays) note recent press
speculation concerning Sir Michael Rake's position on the Barclays
Boards. Barclays wishes to make clear that Sir Michael Rake will
continue to serve on the Barclays Boards as Deputy Chairman and
Senior Independent Director until such time as a new Group Chief
Executive is in post, John McFarlane has reverted to the role of
Non--Executive Chairman and a replacement Senior Independent
Director is in place. This is to ensure that the highest standards
of corporate governance are maintained. Any conflict of interest
which may arise in respect of his Chairmanship of Worldpay will be
managed in the normal manner.
