Payments to shareholders - Ex-C Share entitlement date - 23 October 2013
The Company makes payments to shareholders by allotting non-cumulative redeemable preference shares of 0.1 pence each (C Shares). Shareholders can opt to redeem the C Shares for a cash payment, or reinvest the cash proceeds by purchasing additional ordinary shares via the C Share Reinvestment Plan (CRIP), which is operated by our Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC. On 2 January 2014, 86 C Shares, with a total nominal value of 8.6 pence, will be allotted for each ordinary share to those shareholders on the register on 25 October 2013. The final day of trading with entitlement to C Shares is 22 October 2013 and not 23 October as stated on our previous release. Shareholders wishing to redeem their C Shares, or participate in the CRIP, must lodge instructions with our Registrar to arrive no later than 5.00 pm on 2 December 2013. The payment of C Shares redemption monies will be made on 6 January 2014.
