Barclays Plc Finance Director Chris Lucas, who is under investigation by the U.K.’s Financial Services Authority, will retire after a successor is found, as a series of fines and probes beleaguer Britain’s second-largest lender by assets.

General Counsel Mark Harding will also retire, the London-based company said in a statement yesterday. Lucas, 52, has been Barclays’s finance director for almost six years. His retirement is unrelated to regulatory investigations, said John McGuinness, a Barclays spokesman.
