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.
