You might have seen this morning that Barclays disclosed the UK's FCA and PRA are investigating Staley's statements about his links to Epstein. I wanted to check if there was any steer or background you could give me on the information DOl passed to the UK authorities? And also if you had any comment? Kadhim Kadhim Shubber I Financial Times I (cell) I We will not comment, and I similarly assume this is not coming from FCA either. But we were obviously concerned by this inaccurate characterization of our involvement in your inquiry and would appreciate it if you would relay to your press team, should they be asked, our strong desire that our conversations with you not be part of any reporting on this matter.
