ShareGift
The Company supports ShareGift, the charity share donation scheme
administered by The Orr Mackintosh Foundation (registered charity number
1052686). Through ShareGift, shareholders who have only a very small number
of shares which might be considered uneconomic to sell are able to donate them
to charity. Donated shares are aggregated and sold by ShareGift, the proceeds
being passed on to a wide range of UK charities. Donating shares to charity gives
rise neither to a gain nor loss for UK Capital Gains purposes and UK taxpayers
may also be able to claim income tax relief on such gifts of shares.
ShareGift transfer forms specifically for the Company’s shareholders are available
from the Company’s Registrars, Computershare Investor Services PLC and, even
if the share certificate has been lost or destroyed, the gift can be completed. The
service is generally free. However, there may be an indemnity charge for a lost or
destroyed share certificate where the value of the shares exceeds £100. Further
details about ShareGift can be obtained from its website at www.ShareGift.org or
at The Orr Mackintosh Foundation, 46 Grosvenor Street, London W1K 3HN
(telephone: [phone]).
The Unclaimed Assets Register
The Company participates in the Unclaimed Assets Register, which provides a
search facility for financial assets which may have been forgotten and which
donates a proportion of its public search fees to a group of three UK charities
(Age Concern, NSPCC and Scope). For further information, contact The
Unclaimed Assets Register, Lloyds Chambers, 1 Portsoken Street, London E1 8DF
