Unauthorised brokers (boiler-room scams)
Kingfisher plc is legally obliged to make its share register available to the general public. Consequently some shareholders may receive unsolicited mail, including correspondence from unauthorised investment companies. We have have become aware some 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 what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. They can be very persistent and extremely persuasive. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports. Details of any share dealing facilities that the Company endorses will be included in Company mailings.

Payment methods

This method of payment reduces the risk of your cheque being intercepted or lost in the post. Shareholders wishing to receive their dividends in this way can update their mandate instructions at www.investorcentre.co.uk or should complete a dividend mandate form and return it to the Registrars;
  • Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) the Company also offers shareholders a DRIP, whereby shareholders can use their cash dividend to buy further shares in the Company. Shareholders can apply online at www.investorcentre.co.uk or complete a mandate form and return it to the Registrars; and
  • Global Payments Service this service, provided by the Registrar enables shareholders to have dividend payments paid directly into their bank account in their chosen local currency. To view terms and register, please visit www.computershare.com/uk/investor/GPS .
