Shareview
A website, www.shareview.co.uk, has been developed by Equiniti, the Company’s Registrar, enabling shareholders to access details of shareholdings online. The website provides information useful to the management of investments together with an extensive schedule of frequently asked questions. In order to gain access to shareholdings the shareholder reference number is required, which can be found at the top of the Company’s share certificates.

Shareholders can register to receive shareholder communications, including the Company’s Report and Accounts, electronically, rather than in paper form, using Shareview. The registration process requires input of the shareholder reference number. To ensure that shareholder communications are received in electronic form, “email” should be selected as the mailing preference. Once registered, shareholders will be sent an e-mail notifying them each time that a shareholder communication has been published on the Company’s website.

UK resident shareholders can now sell shares on the internet or by phone using Equiniti’s Shareview Dealing facility by either logging on to www.shareview.co.uk/dealing or by calling 0871 384 2020 between 8.00am and 4.30pm on any business day (excluding Bank Holidays). In order to gain access to this service the shareholder reference number is required, which can be found at the top of the Company’s share certificate.
