Administrative Proceeding
Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order
On September 29, 2022, the SEC instituted settled cease-and-desist proceedings against Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC, stating: "This matter arises from BBPLC's failure to put into place any internal control
around the real-time tracking of securities being offered or sold off of its Commission-registered
shelf registration statement. As a result of this failure, BBPLC offered and sold an unprecedented
amount of securities--cumulatively totaling approximately $17.7 billion--in excess of what it had
registered with the Commission, in violation of Sections 5(a) and (c) of the Securities Act. And, in
connection with the over-issuances and internal control failure, BPLC and BBPLC restated their
year-end 2021 audited financial statements filed with the Commission."

Press Release--Administrative Proceeding
Barclays Agrees to a $361 Million Settlement to Resolve SEC Charges Relating to Over-Issuances of Securities
The SEC stated that: "[It] charged Barclays PLC and
Barclays Bank PLC (BBPLC) in connection with the unregistered offer and sale of an unprecedented amount of
securities due to a failure to implement any internal control to track such transactions in real time. Both firms
restated their year-end 2021 audited financial statements filed with the Commission as a result of the overissuances and internal control failure. The firms agreed to pay a $200 million civil penalty and the SEC additionally
ordered BBPLC to pay disgorgement and prejudgment interest of more than $161 million, which was deemed
satisfied by an offer of rescission BBPLC made to investors in the unregistered offerings."
