  • Which Markets And Investors?: Statement On The Notice Of Proposed Plan Of Distribution And Opportunity For Comment With Respect To Barclays PLC And Barclays Bank PLC, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, Jan. 22, 2025

    Date 22/01/2025

    In accordance with a vote taken before January 20, the Commission today published a Notice of Proposed Plan of Distribution and Opportunity for Comment for a Fair Fund created from the $200 million civil penalty imposed in a settled administrative proceeding against Barclays PLC and Barclays Bank PLC. Under the Proposed Plan, the Commission would “use a single claims process to compensate investors who purchased or acquired ADRs on a U.S. exchange and ordinary shares/common stock on a foreign exchange, and were harmed by a violation of the federal securities laws.” Specifically, the Fair Fund proposes to compensate investors for the “Recognized Loss[es]” incurred from trading during the “Relevant Period” in Barclays ADRs on the NYSE and in “Barclays ordinary shares traded on the [London Stock Exchange] (“LSE”).” This proposed plan—to use a Fair Fund to compensate investors who purchased securities of a foreign issuer on a foreign exchange—is somewhat novel. I have both legal and policy concerns regarding the novel proposal.

    Date 22/01/2025

    By the end of this year, the first phase of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Treasury clearing mandate is scheduled to come into force, affecting users of US Treasury securities all over the world. It’s difficult to overstate how big a deal this is, and a huge amount of work is underway to implement the new requirements. However, several legal, operational and capital issues crucial to implementation must be resolved before the new requirements take effect – and time is running out. With the start of a new administration in the US, we hope the deadlines will be quickly revisited to provide sufficient time to tackle the various implementation challenges.
