movements and assuming reinvestment of dividends. BT’s TSR for the 2011 financial year was positive 56.8%, compared with the FTSE 100
TSR which was positive 7.4% and the FTSEurofirst 300 Telco Index TSR which was positive 15.5%. BT’s TSR improvement in the 2011
financial year is mainly due to the increase in the share price during 2011, from a closing price of 123.9p on 31 March 2010. Over the last
five financial years, BT’s TSR was positive 9.7%, compared with the FTSE 100 TSR of positive 19.0% and the FTSEurofirst 300 Telco Index
TSR of positive 31.4%.
