Electronic Communications

At its 2008 AGM the Company passed a resolution allowing it to communicate with shareholders by means of the Company's website and an invitation to sign up for this method of communication will be sent to shareholders with the 2009 AGM documentation. Electronic communications provide significant benefits for shareholders and the Company in terms of timeliness of information, reduced environmental impact and cost and the Board would encourage investors to participate in the programme.

What does that mean for communications from the Company to Shareholders

Unless a shareholder has specifically elected to receive paper communications, they will be notified either electronically or by letter when a shareholder document is made available on a website. This notification will contain details of the website where the document has been published, the location of the document within the website and any particular technical information shareholders may need to access the document.

Consultation with Shareholders

Shareholders will receive an explanation of their options and an election form with their Annual Report 2008, Notice of 2009 Annual General Meeting and Form of Proxy.

New Shareholders

Shareholders who are entered onto the Register of Members after this date and who wish to receive documents electronically should log on to www.shareview.co.uk where they can elect to receive email notification of the availability of documents.
