Shareview service
The Shareview service from our registrar, Equiniti, gives shareholders:
- direct access to data held on their behalf on the share register
including recent share movements and dividend details; and
- the ability to change their address or dividend payment
instructions online.
To sign up for Shareview you need the 'shareholder reference'
printed on your proxy form or dividend stationery. There is no
charge to register.
When you register with the site, you can register your preferred
format (post or e-mail) for shareholder communications. If you
select 'e-mail' as your mailing preference, you will be sent
shareholder communications, such as proxy forms and annual
results, by e-mail instead of post, as long as this option
is available.
If you have your dividends paid straight to your bank account,
and you have selected 'e-mail' as your mailing preference, you
can also collect your tax voucher electronically. Instead of receiving
the paper tax voucher, you will be notified by e-mail with details
of how to download your electronic version.
However, if you choose 'post' as your preference, you will be sent
paper documents as usual.
Visit the website at www.shareview.co.uk for more details.
Details of software and equipment requirements are given on
the website.
Dividend reinvestment plan
The Company offers holders of its ordinary shares the option
to elect to have their dividend reinvested in shares purchased
in the market instead of cash. If you would like to make this
election, please request a dividend reinvestment plan mandate
