Electronic shareholder communication
Shareholders may register for Shareview, an electronic communication service provided by Equiniti Limited on behalf of the Company’s Registrars, Equiniti (Jersey) Limited. Registration is via the Company’s website, www.experianplc.com, or direct via www.experianshareview.com.
The service enables shareholders to access a comprehensive range of shareholder services online, including dividend payment information, the ability to check shareholdings, amend address or bank details and submit AGM proxy voting instructions.
When registering for Shareview, shareholders can select their preferred communication method – post or email. All shareholders will receive a written notification of the availability on the Company’s website of shareholder documents, such as the annual report, unless they have elected to either (i) receive such notification via email or (ii) receive paper copies of shareholder documents where such documents are available in that format.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (‘DRIP’)
The DRIP enables those shareholders who receive their dividends under the IAS election arrangements to use their cash dividends to purchase Experian shares. Such shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP for the first time, in respect of the first interim dividend for the year ending 31 March 2010 to be paid on 29 January 2010, should return a completed and signed DRIP mandate form to be received by the Registrars, by no later than 4 January 2010. For further details, please contact the Company’s Registrars.
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 plc 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 plc 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 plc shares, 36.293% to Home Retail Group plc shares and 13.103% to Burberry Group plc shares.
