All dividends are paid electronically, and a tax voucher will be available annually to download through Signal Shares.

By paying a chequeless dividend, it helps to reduce the Company’s impact on the environment and provides greater benefits in terms of efficiency, cost and safeguards the security of the payment.

1. What action do I need to take?

For future dividends, you must register your UK bank/building society account details by the dividend record date to receive your chequeless dividend. If you do not register your details, your chequeless dividend will be retained, until your valid bank/building society details are received.

Please note that unclaimed dividends will not accrue interest while they are being held.

2. How do I register my bank/building society account details?

There are two ways to register your bank/building society details:

Online: Log in to the share portal at www.signalshares.com and click on ‘Manage your account’ followed by ‘My bank details’ then follow the instructions. If you have not registered for Signal Shares previously you will require your Investor Code (IVC) which can be found on your share certificate(s).

By phone: Call Link Group and speak to one of the team on 0371 664 0300 and after answering a few security questions, your mandate details can be updated. *Calls are charged at the standard geographic rate and will vary by provider. If you are outside the United Kingdom, please call +44 371 664 0300. Calls outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. The helpline is open between 9.00am – 5.30pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales.

3. What if I don’t have a UK bank/building society account?

If you do not have a UK bank/building society account, you may be able to sign up to the International Payment Service, through which you can receive payment of your dividend in your local currency. Please contact Link Group for further information.

4. Will my bank details be secure?

Electronic bank transfer is the most secure method of payment. We will only use your account details to facilitate the payment of dividends with your bank. The details are maintained securely by Link Group.

Providing your bank details does not provide us with access to your bank account and will only be used for the payment of dividends.

5. How will I know my dividend has been paid?

A dividend confirmation can be downloaded from www.signalshares.com following the dividend payment date.

If you register your email address you will automatically receive a notification when your dividend confirmation is available.
