Pension deficit reduction contributions

Potential acceleration of CET1 ratio headwinds from pension reduction contributions
During 2019 and 2020, the UK Retirement Fund (UKRF), the Group's main pension scheme, subscribed for non-transferable listed senior
fixed rate notes for £1.25bn. As a result of these transactions, the CET1 impact of the 2019 and 2020 deficit contributions was deferred
until 2023, 2024 and 2025 upon maturity of the notes
Following the PRA's statement on 13 April 2022, Barclays is planning to unwind these transactions and to agree the terms and timing of this
unwind with the UKRF Trustee as part of the next triennial actuarial valuation as at 30 September 2022. Upon unwind, this would result in a
c.30bps reduction to the CET1 ratio potentially being accelerated to Q422 from 2023, 2024 and 2025
As at 30 June 2022, the UKRF was in an accounting surplus of £5.2bn on an IAS19 basis and as at 30 September 2021 was in a funding
surplus of £0.6bn
There may also be a pension related reduction in Pillar 2A requirements in 2022 which could partially mitigate the impact of the unwind on
the Group surplus capital position
