Good to know they will be cancelled as well. Some buy backs like Natwest use some of the buy back for additional company benefits, which is not good.

---

The purpose of the Buy-back is to reduce the share capital of the Company and therefore Ordinary Shares purchased under the Buy-back will be cancelled.

The maximum number of Ordinary Shares that may be repurchased under the Buy-back is 1,736,530,906, being the number of Ordinary Shares the Company is authorised to repurchase under the 2021 Authority.

Maybe just to add, between the £700 million buyback already executed in April, now the £500 million announcement, so the £1.2 billion of buybacks. And it’s really a – Barclays hasn’t engaged in the buyback program in many, many years. So this is a new thing. And I don’t think it’s a one-off. And with the level of profitability that we’re now generating and the capital levels that we have, if we have shareholders that are – that remain willing to sell stock at a discount to book value, we’re happy to buy it.

Times reports HMG looking at lifting pay cap for bankers - surely after 13 yrs of regulations, dividend pulled at behest of BoE regardless of stress test results- it's time shareholders were paid more and before bankers.
