As representative of the several Underwriters

named in Schedule I (the “Representative”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Barclays PLC (the “Company”) proposes to issue £1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.250% Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated Contingent Convertible Securities (the “Designated Securities”). The Designated Securities are convertible in accordance with their terms for stock of Barclays PLC as described in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement (as defined in Schedule II hereto). Each of the Underwriters hereby undertakes to purchase at the subscription price set forth in Schedule II hereto (the “Subscription Price”), the amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto, such payment to be made at the Time of Delivery set forth in Schedule II hereto. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder are several but not joint.

Each of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement—Standard Provisions, dated March 3, 2021 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein; provided that, for the purposes of this letter, new Section 2(r) shall be included as follows: “The Company will promptly make a valid election in respect of the Designated Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 475C of the Corporation Tax Act 2009 (“CTA 2009”). Following the making of a valid election pursuant to Section 475C of the CTA 2009, all payments of interest in respect of the Designated Securities will be deductible by the Company in computing its taxable profit for United Kingdom corporate income tax purposes and the Designated Securities will be “hybrid capital instruments” for United Kingdom tax purposes. The Designated Securities are not being issued in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any arrangements the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of which is to secure a tax advantage;” and each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Agreement, except that each representation and warranty with respect to the Prospectus in Section 2 of the Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty as of the date of the Prospectus and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Agreement in relation to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to the Designated Securities.

Each reference to the Representative herein and in the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement so incorporated by reference shall be deemed to refer to you. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Underwriting Agreement are used herein as therein defined. The Representative designated to act on behalf of each of the Underwriters of Designated Securities pursuant to Section 14 of the Underwriting Agreement and the address referred to in such Section 14 is set forth in Schedule II hereto.

Notwithstanding Section 5 and any other provision to the contrary in the Underwriting Agreement, but without prejudice to Section 2(j) thereof, (i) the Designated Securities will be represented by one global certificate that will be deposited with a common depositary for Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream”) and/or Euroclear S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear” and, together with Clearstream, the “Clearing Systems”), and registered in the name of such common depositary or its nominee and (ii) settlement of the Designated Securities will occur through the Clearing Systems for value. The Representative acknowledges that the Designated Securities represented by the global certificate will initially be credited to an account with Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be (the “Commissionaire Account”) for the account of the Representative, the terms of which include a third-party beneficiary clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’) with

the Company as the third-party beneficiary and provide that such Designated Securities are to be delivered to the Representative only against payment of the Subscription Price into the Commissionaire Account on a delivery against payment basis. The Representative acknowledges that (i) the Designated Securities represented by the global certificate shall be held to the order of the Company as set out above and (ii) the Subscription Price received in the Commissionaire Account will be held on behalf of the Company until such time as they are transferred to the Company’s order. The Representative undertakes that the Subscription Price will be transferred to the Company’s order promptly following receipt of such monies in the Commissionaire Account. The Company acknowledges and accepts the benefit of the third-party beneficiary clause (‘stipulation pour autrui’) pursuant to the Belgian or Luxembourg Civil Code, as applicable, in respect of the Commissionaire Account.

An amendment to the Registration Statement, or a supplement to the Prospectus, as the case may be, relating to the Designated Securities, in the form heretofore delivered to you, is now proposed to be filed with the Commission.
