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 dividends to be paid direct to their bank or building society account and wish to benefit from this service should request the Company’s Registrar (address below) to send them a Dividend/Interest mandate form or alternatively complete the mandate form attached to any future dividend tax voucher.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Company provides a Dividend Reinvestment Plan enabling shareholders to apply their cash dividends to purchase additional ordinary shares in the market at competitive dealing rates. Full details can be obtained from the Registrar. If you have previously completed a mandate form to join the Plan, you need take no further action.
Shareholder Information on the Internet
The Company maintains an investor relations zone on its website (www.woolworthsgroupplc.com) which allows access to share price information, management biographies, copies of Company reports and other useful investor information.
In addition, Computershare Investor Service PLC, the Company Registrar, has introduced a facility where shareholders are able to access details of their shareholding in the Company over the internet subject to complying with an identity check. This service can be accessed on their website www.computershare.com.
Woolworths Group plc is a company incorporated, domiciled and registered in England and Wales (Number 03855289).
