Annual General Meeting
Our thirty-second annual general meeting will be held at the Hilton
London Metropole Hotel, 225 Edgware Road, London W2 1JU,
on Friday 29 July 2016 at 11.00 am. The annual general meeting will
be transmitted via a live webcast which can be viewed on our website

ShareGift
We support ShareGift, the charity share donation scheme (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.
See sharegift.org or call +44 (0)20 7930 3737 for further details.
Landmark Asset Search
We participate in an online service which provides asearch
facility for solicitors and probate professionals to quickly and
easily trace UK shareholdings relating to deceased estates.
Visit www.landmarkfas.co.uk or call +44 (0)844 844 9967 for
further information.
Warning to shareholders (“boiler room” scams)
Over recent years we have become aware of investors who have
received unsolicited calls or correspondence, in some cases
purporting to have been issued by us, concerning investment matters.
These callers typically make claims of highly protable opportunities
in UK orUS investments which turn out to be worthless or simply do not
exist.These approaches are usually made by unauthorised companies
and individuals and are commonly known as “boiler room” scams.
Investors are advised to be wary of any unsolicited advice or offers
to buy shares. If it sounds too good to be true, it often is.
See the FCA website at fca.org.uk/consumers/scams for more detailed
information about this or similar activities.
