How will I receive shareholder documents?

Legislation has been introduced which enable companies to communicate with their shareholders by electronic means. Electronic communications (e-communications) enable the Company to communicate with our shareholders in a more timely, environmentally friendly and cost-effective manner, which is in the interest of all shareholders. For these reasons the Company has decided to provide all relevant shareholder documents, including the mailing of the Annual Report and Notice of AGM, via the Company’s website, except where shareholders have requested a paper copy of the documents.

If you have signed up to receive e-communications via Equiniti’s Shareview website, you will receive an e-mail notification confirming that the documents are available on the Company’s website. If you would like to register on the Shareview site please have your shareholder reference number available, this can be found on your share certificate and dividend tax vouchers. If you have not registered for this service, we will send you a letter informing you that the documents are available from the website. You can continue to receive hard copies of Man’s communications by contacting Equiniti using the details above.

As part of our electronic communications (e-communications) programme we have decided not to produce a printed copy of our Interim report. Instead, the Interim Report will be published on our website following release of our Interim results to the market.

How can I contact the Company?

Different contacts within the organisation can be found on the contact page.

What should I do with my share certificate?

Share certificates are evidence of your ownership and should be kept in a safe place. You will need them if you want to sell all or some of your shares in the future. Share certificates are posted to shareholders at their own risk.

What is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax is a tax on the profit or gain you make when you sell or ‘dispose of’ an asset (e.g. shares). Please note that Man is unable to offer advice on capital gains tax and should you have any questions, or are unsure of your position, you should contact a duly authorised independent financial advisor.

What company details should be on my share certificate?

Updated Man share certificates are printed on white paper with Company Number: 127570 and should be retained.

What is my shareholder reference number?

Your shareholder reference number is a unique 11-digit account number, which should be quoted when corresponding with our Registrar, Equiniti. The number is detailed at the top of your share certificate and on dividend tax vouchers.

Why do I receive multiple sets of documentation whenever you send anything to me?

If you have acquired shares in Man on more than one occasion, but the name and address you supplied to the Registrar differed, even slightly, from the existing details held, another account may have been created. If this happens and you want the accounts combined, you should contact Equiniti.

How do I register my change of address?

If you have registered with Equiniti’s Shareview website, you can update your address details on-line. Alternatively, you can complete the change of address form and return to Equiniti at the address shown on the form.

How do I register my change of name?

In order to register your change of name you will need to send Equiniti original documents confirming this change (e.g. your marriage certificate or change of name deed). Once the change has been processed, the original documents will be returned to you.

How do I transfer my shares to someone else?

If you hold a paper share certificate you can transfer your shares by completing a stock transfer form and returning it to the Registrar.

What do I do if I lose my share certificate?

If your certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, you should contact the Company’s Registrar, Equiniti, as soon as you can. Equiniti will need to arrange for you to complete an indemnity covering the Company for any loss and you will be charged for this. Once this process is completed, Equiniti will send you a duplicate certificate.

How do I register the death of a shareholder?

Initially you should call Equiniti and notify them of the shareholders death. They will then add a notification of death restriction to the account. This will prevent future dividends being paid to the deceased shareholder.

If the shares were held solely in the name of the deceased, you should send Equiniti an official copy of the document by which the deceased’s legal personal representative was appointed, usually the grant of probate or letters of administration, impressed with the court seal. The name of the legal personal representative will be put on the register. The shares can then be sold by the personal representative, or transferred to the deceased’s beneficiary.

If the value of the deceased’s estate is below certain limits, the death can be registered using the small estates procedure. Details of the current limits and the procedure involved can be obtained from Equiniti.

If the shares were held jointly by the deceased and another person, a copy of the death certificate must be sent to Equiniti. The shares will then be registered in the name(s) of the surviving holder(s), and the relevant share certificates will be amended to reflect this.

How can I confirm the number of shares I hold?

If you have registered with Equiniti’s Shareview website, you can see this information on-line at www.shareview.co.uk. Alternatively, you can contact Equiniti on 0371 384 2112 (or +44 121 415 7592 if calling from overseas), who will be able to confirm your shareholding.

How can I calculate the value of my shares?

Using the share price information provided above in the Share Price section you can calculate the value of your share holding, at both the purchase date and at present.

I hold certificates which quote Man Group plc Ordinary shares of 18 US cents each or Man Group plc Ordinary shares of 3 US cents each. Are these still valid?

No. Only share certificates relating to Man Group plc Ordinary shares of 3 3/7 US cents, issued on or after the latest consolidation on 28 May 2019 are valid.

What is an AGM?

AGM stands for Annual General Meeting, which the Company is required to hold every year and which every shareholder is invited to attend.

Why do you declare your dividends in US dollars but pay them in sterling?

Man Group plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange, however Man's functional currency is US dollars and therefore dividends are declared in US dollars, with an equivalent amount in Sterling payable to shareholders.

All relevant dividend timetable dates are announced to the market alongside announcement of the dividend.

How do you set the exchange rate for dividend payments?

The dividend exchange rate is determined with reference to the average of the market exchange rates on the three working days prior to announcement of the rate. All relevant dividend timetable dates are announced to the market alongside announcement of the dividend.

Can I choose which currency I receive my dividends in?

Man only pays its dividends in Sterling. Shareholders based outside the UK, can ask Equiniti to arrange payments directly into their bank account, although there is a charge for this service. For further information please visit Equiniti’s website.

Dividends are generally paid in cash and can be paid either by cheque, or directly into your bank or building society account. You can also choose to use your dividend to purchase further shares in the Company, by joining the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

What is a DRIP?

A full history of the dividends paid to shareholders can be found here.

What was the price of my DRIP shares?

You can find the price of your DRIP shares by looking at the Company’s dividend history.

What should I do if I have lost my dividend cheque?

If you have lost your dividend cheque you should contact Equiniti immediately, confirming that the payment has been lost. They will then arrange for the cheque to be stopped and issue you with a duplicate cheque. Please note that there may be a charge for this service.

To avoid any further loss, you may wish to consider arranging for the dividend to be paid directly into your bank account, which can be done by completing the dividend mandate form and returning it to Equiniti.

What should I do if I have lost my tax voucher?

If you lose a tax voucher you should contact Equiniti, confirming which tax voucher has been lost. A duplicate will be issued upon payment of an administration charge.

What are E-communications?

Be aware!

Many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas ‘brokers’ who target shareholders offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares, generally in US or UK investments.

These callers can be very persistent and extremely persuasive and their activities have resulted in considerable losses for some investors. It is not just the novice investor that has been deceived in this way; many of the victims have 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 offers of investment advice:

  • Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation
  • Check that they are properly authorised (for example, in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority) before getting involved
  • The Financial Conduct Authority also maintains on its website a list of unauthorised overseas firms who are targeting, or have targeted, UK investors and any approach from such organisations should be reported to the Financial Conduct Authority so that this list can be kept up to date and any other appropriate action can be considered. The Financial Conduct Authority can be contacted by completing an online form
  • If unsolicited 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.

More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found
here.

Details of any share dealing facilities that the Company endorses will be included in company mailings.

Unsolicited mail

You may also receive unsolicited mail from a variety of commercial organisations who have obtained your address from our publicly available share register. If you wish to stop such mailings please contact:
