Capital Gains Tax (‘CGT’) base cost for UK shareholders
On 10 October 2006, GUS plc separated its Experian business from its Home Retail Group business by way of demerger.
Following the demerger, GUS shareholders at 4.30pm on Friday, 6 October 2006 were entitled to receive one share in Experian
Group Limited and one share in Home Retail Group plc for every share they held in GUS plc at that time.
The previous base cost of any GUS plc shares held at 4.30pm on 6 October 2006 is apportioned for UK CGT purposes in
the following ratio: 58.235% to Experian Group Limited shares and 41.765% to Home Retail Group plc shares (based on the
closing prices of the respective shares on their first day of trading after their admission to the Official List of the London
Stock Exchange on 11 October 2006).
For GUS plc shares acquired prior to the demerger of Burberry on 13 December 2005 which are affected by both the Burberry
demerger and the subsequent separation of Experian and Home Retail Group, the original CGT base cost is apportioned
50.604% to Experian Group Limited shares, 36.293% to Home Retail Group plc shares and 13.103% to Burberry Group plc shares.
