Dividend Mandates
In order to receive your dividends directly into your bank account on dividend payment date, you will need to have provided your bank details to the Registrar. Visit our FAQs page for more information on how to do this.
Paying dividends into a bank or building society account is a quicker and more secure way for your dividends to be paid directly to you.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)
Shareholders can now choose to reinvest dividends received to purchase further shares in the Company through a DRIP. A DRIP application form is available from our Registrar.
Please visit www.shareview.co.uk/info/drip to download the DRIP terms and conditions and the DRIP application form.
You can also apply to join the DRIP online via your Shareview Portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk. Follow the link from “My Investments” to view your holdings summary, access the Dividend Election page for your holding and follow the instructions onscreen to complete the application. Visit our FAQs page for information on how to register for a Shareview Portfolio.
Shareholders wishing to join the DRIP should ensure that their completed instruction is received by the plan administrator no later than 15 working days before the dividend payment date, otherwise it will only apply from the next dividend that the DRIP is applied to.
