Beneficial owners of shares
Please note that beneficial owners of shares who have been nominated by the registered holder of those shares to receive information rights under section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 are required to direct all communications to the registered holder of their shares rather than to the company’s registrar, Capita Registrars, or to the company directly.
Boiler room scams
Many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited telephone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based “brokers” who target UK shareholders, offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. These operations are commonly known as “boiler rooms”. These “brokers” can be very persistent and extremely persuasive. If these calls persist, hang up. A 2006 survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) reported that the average amount lost by investors is around £20,000. The FSA receives and deals with an average of 6,500 consumer enquiries a year on such scams. More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found at www.moneymadeclear.org.uk or call 0300 500 5000.
Unsolicited mail
The company is legally obliged to make its Register of Members available, subject to a proper purpose test, to the public. As a consequence of this, some shareholders may receive unsolicited mail. Shareholders wishing to limit the amount of such mail should write to the Mailing Preference Service (MPS) at:
