1 December 2017

Barclays PLC

Reduction of Barclays' shareholding in Barclays Africa Group Limited

Following the transfer on 30 November 2017, subject to settlement, of a 7.0% stake in Barclays Africa Group Limited (BAGL), Barclays' total shareholding in BAGL for regulatory reporting purposes will reduce from 21.9% to 14.9%, in line with previously announced expectations. Settlement of the transfer is expected to occur on 5 December 2017. From an accounting perspective, Barclays' results already reflected the 14.9% ownership level.

For regulatory reporting purposes, Barclays currently applies proportional consolidation with respect to its stake in BAGL. The reduction in Barclays' holding announced today will reduce the percentage applied to 14.9%, and would increase Barclays' pro-forma CET1 ratio as at 30 September by 12bps.

Barclays has indicated that this represents its desired long term shareholding in Barclays Africa and that no further sales are planned at this time.

Exhibit No. 6

27 December 2017

Barclays PLC

US Tax Reform

Barclays notes the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Act") enacted on 22 December 2017, reducing the statutory rate of US federal corporate income tax to 21%.

Barclays expects the measurement of its US deferred tax assets ("DTAs") to reduce by c.£1bn as a result of the reduced tax rate and net of a c.£0.3bn increase to US DTAs, unrelated to the Act, due to a revaluation of Barclays Bank PLC's US branch DTAs. This aggregate reduction in the measurement of US DTAs is expected to result in an associated one-off charge of c.£1bn to Group profit after tax, a c.20 basis point reduction to the Group CET1 ratio and a decrease of c.6 pence to TNAV per share. These estimates are all calculated based on Barclays' financial information as at 30 September 2017 and will be accounted for in the financial year ended December 2017.

This reduction in the statutory US federal rate is expected to positively impact Barclays' future US after tax earnings. However, the ultimate impact is subject to the effect of other complex provisions in the Act (including the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT")), which Barclays is currently reviewing, and it is possible that any impact of BEAT could significantly reduce the benefit of the reduction in the statutory US federal rate. Due to the uncertain practical and technical application of many of these provisions, it is currently not possible to reliably estimate whether BEAT will apply and if so, how it would impact Barclays.
