As a result of recent changes to legislation, the Company can now communicate with its shareholders by 'electronic means', i.e. on-line.
The Company's Articles of Association allow the Company to make copies of various documents such as the annual and interim reports and accounts, notices of annual and extraordinary general meetings, together with any related circulars ("shareholder communications") available to shareholders on-line, in addition to allowing us in due course to offer on-line proxy voting at general meetings.
Consequently, if you are a shareholder you can now choose to receive information on-line, and:
- be notified by Equiniti Limited, the Company's registrars, when shareholder communications become available for viewing and downloading from this website;
- if a holder of Ordinary Shares, be able (in due course, when we have introduced the appropriate system) to vote by proxy on-line.
If you wish to receive notices of meetings and annual and interim report and accounts on-line, please log on to the Company's registrars' shareview service to indicate this preference at www.shareview.co.uk.
You may register at any time.
Here you will be able to:
- indicate your mailing preference (post or email) for shareholder communications;
- directly access relevant share register data relating to your shareholding, including recent share movements and dividend details;
- view a valuation of your shareholding, based on recent share prices;
- view a range of information and other practical help for shareholders;
- view and manage your current portfolio, in addition to receiving email updates from the Company's registrars as to when shareholder communications become available by providing a link to this website.
When registering on the Shareview website, you will initially need your shareholder reference number, which is shown on your dividend tax voucher and share certificate, together with a PIN number which you choose yourself. You will also be asked to provide an email address, which will remain confidential and will not form part of the Company's register of shareholders. Equiniti Limited will then provide you with a User ID.
