Electronic Communications

Electronic communications are a convenient way to receive shareholder communications from the Company via e-mail instead of by post. Having supplied an e-mail address you will no longer receive hard copies of certain paper documents, such as Annual Reports, by post. Instead you will receive an e-mail containing links to this website where electronic copies of the documents can be viewed or downloaded. You will have access to the same information at the same time or even earlier than if the documents were sent by post, while helping the environment and saving the Company printing and postage costs.

Registration

The Company's electronic communications capability is provided by its Registrar, Equiniti, through their internet-based service called Shareview, which allows you to view details of your shareholding and also to indicate a preference for e-mail delivery. All you have to do is to complete a simple registration form and you will be registered automatically to receive an e-mail notification whenever shareholder communications are added to the website. To register you will need your shareholder reference number, which can be found on your share certificate or dividend tax voucher. If you are already registered with Shareview, just log on using your existing Access Number and Password and you can indicate your preference for 'e-mail'.
