Shareholder Information
Payment of dividends by BACS
Many Shareholders have already arranged for dividends to be paid by mandate directly to their bank or building society account. The Company mandates dividends through the BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services) system. The benefit to Shareholders of the BACS payment method is that the Registrar posts the tax vouchers directly to them, whilst the dividend is credited on the payment date to the Shareholder's bank or building society account. Shareholders who have not yet arranged for their dividends to be paid directly to their bank or building society account and wish to benefit from this service should request the Company's Registrar to send them a Dividend/Interest mandate form or alternatively complete the mandate form accompanying their dividend warrant and tax voucher in May 2012.
Overseas dividend payments
Capita Registrars has partnered with Travelex, the world's largest specialist provider of commercial international payment services, to provide you with a service that will convert your Sterling dividends into your local currency. Your dividend will then be conveniently paid directly into your local bank account. For further information about the International Payment Service from Capita Registrars, including details of how to apply, please visit www.capitaregistrars.com/international or call 0871 664 0385 (calls costs 10p per minute plus network extras) or +44 (0)20 8639 3405 (outside of UK) between 9.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. GMT. Alternatively you may wish to email your enquiry to IPS@capitaregistrars.com.
Online shareholder services and share dealing
Shareholders may wish to take advantage of the 'Online' enquiry service offered by the Registrar. This service allows a Shareholder to access his/her own account to verify address details and the number of shares held. The service can be obtained on http://shares.aggreko.com. The Registrar also offers a share dealing service to existing Shareholders.
Sharegift
We value all our Shareholders, no matter how many shares they own, but we do realise that some Shareholders hold on to small quantities of shares because they believe that the cost of selling them would make the transaction uneconomic. A free service is available to enable Shareholders with small holdings, should they so wish, to donate their shares to charity, and gain the benefit of tax relief on this donation. This scheme has been successfully adopted by several large quoted companies, and further details are available from the Secretary.

Boiler room scams
Over the last few years many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone 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, and a 2006 survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has reported that the average amount lost by investors is around £20,000.
It is not just the novice investor that has been duped in this way; many of the victims had been successfully investing for several years. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports.
If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:
- Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation.
- Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved. You can check at www.fsa.gov.uk/register/.
- Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/
- If the calls persist, hang up.
If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The FSA can be contacted by completing an online form at www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml.
Details of any sharedealing facilities that the company endorses will be included in company mailings.
More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found on the FSA website www.fsa.gov.uk/consumer/.
