Dividends

Shareholders are able to choose how they receive their dividends:

• direct to their bank account;
• reinvested in Ordinary Shares through the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (see below);
• paid by cheque; or
• paid in foreign currencies.

The quickest and most efficient way to receive your dividends is to have them paid direct to your bank account. It saves waiting for funds to clear and reduces the paper and postage we use. To change how you receive your dividends please contact the Company’s registrar, Equiniti, on 0871 384 2268 or log on to www.shareview.co.uk.

Dividend reinvestment plan

The Company has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRIP”) delivered by Equiniti Financial Services Limited. The DRIP allows eligible shareholders to use their cash dividend to buy additional shares in the Company, so increasing their shareholding. If you would like additional information, please contact the Company’s registrar, Equiniti, on 0871 384 2268 or log on to www.shareview.co.uk.
