(together "Barclays")
Findings of the Regulatory Decisions Committee
The Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") has today published a Decision Notice issued by the Regulatory Decisions Committee ("RDC") relating
to Barclays' former CEO, Jes Staley.
The Decision Notice finds that Mr Staley acted recklessly in approving a letter dated 8 October 2019 from Barclays to the
FCA regarding his relationship with Jeffrey
Epstein (which the RDC concluded was misleading)
and, by doing so, that he breached Individual Conduct Rule 1
(acting with integrity), Individual Conduct Rule 3 (being open and
cooperative with regulators) and
Senior Management Conduct Rule 4 (disclosing appropriately information of which the FCA or PRA would reasonably
expect notice).
Mr Staley has decided to refer the Decision Notice to the Upper Tribunal for reconsideration.
Remuneration decisions in respect of Jes Staley
As previously disclosed, the Remuneration Committee of the Board of Barclays PLC (the "Remuneration Committee") exercised its
discretion to suspend all of Mr
Staley's deferred bonus and LTIP awards
pending further
developments in respect of the regulatory and legal
proceedings related to the FCA and PRA investigation regarding Mr
Staley.
Following
consideration of the detailed findings in the Decision Notice and
the information referred to in it, the Remuneration Committee has
concluded that Mr Staley should be ineligible for or forfeit a
number of awards, as follows:
●
his bonus award in respect of the 2021 performance year.
●
his unvested LTIP awards that were still subject to performance conditions, with a face value of £14.3m, and other unvested LTIP awards
for which the performance conditions had already been assessed,
with a face value of £1.4m.
●
his other unvested deferred bonus awards from earlier years. These
awards had a face value of £2.1m, which was
reduced to zero through the application of
'malus'.
The
total value of the lapsed LTIP awards and forfeited
deferred compensation
awards was £17.8m.
Notes:
1.
Barclays was not the subject of the FCA's investigation or the
proceedings before the RDC
and there are no findings made against it or any of its directors or employees in the Decision Notice. Barclays
cooperated fully with the
regulatory investigation.
2.
All values are based on the mid-market closing share
price on 10 October 2023.
