Investor Relations. The success of our business model begins and ends with investment performance.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

AGM stands for Annual General Meeting, which the Company is required to hold every year and which every shareholder is invited to attend. The meeting reviews Man’s performance over the year and provides an opportunity for shareholders to ask questions and vote on key issues, such as the appointment of directors and the authority of the directors to issue shares. 

A General Meeting is a meeting of shareholders which is only held when it is necessary for shareholders to approve special business proposals which require approval before the next AGM.

Information on the Company’s AGM can be found in the Shareholder Meetings section of the Company’s website. This includes the Notice of Meeting and poll results (if the meeting has already occurred). 

If you cannot attend the AGM in person, you are still able to vote on the proposed resolutions and to ask questions on the business of the meeting. Prior to the meeting, if the shares are held in your own name, you will be sent details of how you can vote on the resolutions. Between the distribution of the Notice of the Meeting and the AGM, you can submit questions to the Board of directors by e-mail. Further information can be found can be found in the Shareholder Meetings section of the Company’s website.

You can also name somebody else to attend the meeting on your behalf (a ‘proxy’) or you can appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy. You can ask your proxy to vote the way you wish or to vote at their discretion.

A dividend is an amount, taken from the Company’s profits, paid out to shareholders for each share they hold.

Man generally pays dividends twice per year, following the announcement of the final and interim results. Any final or interim dividends are usually paid in July and December respectively.

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. The Sterling conversion rate which is used to pay shareholders is usually announced to the market following the record date and prior to the final payment. All relevant dividend timetable dates are announced to the market alongside announcement of the dividend.

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.

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.

DRIP stands for Dividend Reinvestment Plan, which gives shareholders the opportunity to use their dividend to purchase further Man Group plc shares. Shareholders receive as many whole shares as can be bought with their dividend, taking into account any costs of the DRIP. Any residual monies left, after purchasing the shares out of your dividend payment, will be added to your next dividend payment.

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

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

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.

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.
