25 Nov 2024 Barclays plcFCA: £30m fine for Barclays plc over undisclosed Qatari arrangements in 2008 United KingdomDisclosure and reporting obligations €35.9m

The FCA fined Barclays plc £30 million. The FCA found that during its capital raisings in June and October 2008, Barclays entered into advisory agreements with a Qatari investor group whose fees were linked to their participation in the capital raisings. These fees and the link were not disclosed in announcements, prospectuses and a shareholder circular, which in the FCA's view made them misleading. The FCA found failures to take reasonable care over published information and breaches of the requirements for shareholder circulars. In relation to the October 2008 capital raising, it found that Barclays plc had acted recklessly and had not acted with integrity towards its shareholders (Listing Principle 3). Barclays plc had referred the decision notice of 23 September 2022 to the Upper Tribunal but withdrew the reference on 22 November 2024.
