Barclays proposed seminar on its Investment Banking and Investment Management businesses, scheduled for Monday 15 September 2008 in London and Tuesday 16 September 2008 in New York, has been postponed and will be re-arranged.
Our decision to postpone is driven by developments related to Lehman Brothers over the weekend. We confirm that Barclays considered a combination with Lehman Brothers and did not proceed because it was not possible to conclude a transaction in the best interests of Barclays shareholders.
