"Barclays has engaged constructively with its regulators, including the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in this round of settlement discussions, and has considered a settlement from these agencies on closely similar terms to those announced this morning.
"However, after discussions with other regulators and authorities, we have concluded that it is in the interests of the company to seek a more general coordinated settlement.
"We will continue to engage with these authorities, including the FCA and CFTC, with the objective of bringing this to resolution in due course."
