Electronic Communication
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.
Shareholder Mailings
18 August 2006
Dear Shareholder
Please find enclosed our Interim Report for 2006. We thought this was a good opportunity to remind you of some of the shareholder services we offer.
E-Communication
The Interim Report describes the Company's business activities and provides financial information for the six months to 30 June 2006. The report is also on our website at www.schroders.com. In future, if you would like to receive the Annual Report and Accounts, the Interim Report and other shareholder communications in electronic format, you can register online through Shareview at www.shareview.co.uk. Shareview also offers you direct access to details of your shareholding. You can also change your address and dividend mandate details quickly and securely.
Direct Dividend Payments
You can have your dividends paid automatically into your bank or building society account. This means you won't have to worry about the risk and inconvenience associated with cheques going missing in the post. You also receive your dividend quicker as the dividend is transferred to your account on payment date without the need to wait for a cheque to clear.
Dividends are generally paid twice a year in April and September and we recommend that, if you don't already mandate your dividend, you complete the enclosed dividend mandate form to take advantage of this service.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
As an alternative to receiving a cash dividend you can use it buy more Schroders shares by joining our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (‘DRIP'). If you don't already participate in the DRIP, full details are in the enclosed brochure. To join the DRIP, just complete the application form and send it to the Registrars in the envelope provided. If you have any questions about the DRIP please call the DRIP helpline on 0870 241 3018, or +44 212 415 7192 if you are calling from overseas.
Please note that enquiries about matters concerning the registration of your shareholding should be directed to Equiniti Limited at Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN99 6DA, or call the Schroders' shareholder helpline on 0870 241 8113.
If you have any questions about the Company please write to me at 31 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7QA, or email companysecretary@schroders.com.
Yours faithfully
Graham Staples

Capital Gains Tax
Values at 31st March 1982
The market values of the former parent company's shares at 31st March 1982 (adjusted to take account of the 1986, 1990, 1993, 1995 and 1998 capitalisation issues) were:
Ordinary shares: 23.6509p
Non-voting ordinary shares: 22.7582p
Values related to disposal of investment banking business
Shareholders who received Schroders plc shares and Schroder Holdings (Jersey) Ltd (SHJ) shares in place of Schroders plc shares held prior to 18th April 2000 may have a liability to UK capital gains tax in respect of their disposal of the SHJ shares for a consideration of £3.00 per share to Salomon Smith Barney.
Shareholders on the register at 17th April 2000 received an additional 4.5132p per share in October 2000 under the terms of the Offer from Salomon Smith Barney dated 27th April 2000. This should be taken into account for capital gains tax in the same way as the original consideration of £3.00 per share. The base cost of the previously held shares should be apportioned between the SHJ shares and the new Schroders plc shares.
The Inland Revenue has confirmed the methodology to be used for this apportionment.
The market values for the new Schroders plc shares on their first day of trading were £9.77 for the ordinary shares and £8.05 for the non-voting ordinary shares.
The market value of the SHJ shares on that date was £3.00 and the apportionment of base cost is based on this value notwithstanding that the total consideration to be included in capital gains tax computations will include the additional consideration of 4.5132p.
For voting ordinary shares the base cost apportionment is:
- £9.77 ÷ 12.77 to the new Schroders plc shares,
- £3.00 ÷ 12.77 to the SHJ shares.
For non-voting ordinary shares, the base cost apportionment is:
- £8.05 ÷ 11.05 to the new non-voting Schroders plc shares and;
- £3.00 ÷ 11.05 to the SHJ shares.
Whether or not a liability to UK capital gains tax arises on the disposal of SHJ shares will depend on the individual circumstances of the shareholder and the form of consideration received:
- Where cash was received, the shareholder will be treated as having made a disposal or part disposal of the SHJ shares for capital gains tax purposes;
- To the extent that loan notes or shares were received, there is no disposal for capital gains tax and any gain or loss which would have arisen on a disposal will be ‘rolled over' into the loan notes or shares. These are treated as the same asset as the relevant holding of SHJ shares for which they were exchanged. Any subsequent disposal of the loan notes or shares may give rise to a capital gain or loss depending on individual circumstances. In calculating the capital gain arising on any such disposal, the holder's acquisition costs will be deemed to be the original acquisition cost to the holder of the relevant holding of SHJ shares.
Annual General Meeting 2007
The 2007 Annual General Meeting will be held at 31 Gresham Street, London EC2V 7QA on Tuesday 24 April at 11.30am
