Man Group's register of shareholders is maintained by Equiniti as the Company's Registrar. Many aspects of your shareholding, such as updating your personal details and checking your shareholding and dividend payments, can be managed by logging on to Equiniti's website. To do this, you will need your shareholder reference number which can be found on your share certificate or dividend tax voucher.
For enquiries about your shareholding, you can also contact Equiniti in writing at Equiniti, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA, or by telephone on 0871 384 21121 or Text tel 0871 384 22551, quoting Ref No 874. Callers from outside the UK should telephone +44 121 415 7592.
Man Group maintains a substantial amount of information on our corporate website. The website includes information about the industry in which we operate, our strategy and business performance and incorporates an analysts workbook containing key financial information. There is also information on corporate responsibility initiatives, careers opportunities at Man and key information for shareholders such as dividend payment schedules and share price information. You can also download current and past Annual and Interim Reports under the Investor Relations section of the website.
The Company now offers shareholders the opportunity to access shareholder documents via e-communications, rather than receiving hard copy documents in the post. This includes the Annual Report and Notice of AGM. To sign up for e-communications, please register on Equiniti's website. In order to do this, you will need your shareholder reference number which can be found on your share certificate or on your dividend tax voucher. Once registered, you will need to change your mailing preference to e-communications and provide your email address. We will then be able to notify you by email as soon as shareholder documents are available on the Group's website.
As part of our e-communications programme, we no longer produce a printed copy of our Interim Report. Instead, the Interim Report will be published on our website and will be available from early November each year. If at that time you would like us to send you a hard copy of our Interim Report, please email shareholder@Man Groupplc.com, telephone 020 7144 1000 or write to the Company Secretary at the registered office address, as shown here, ensuring you provide your full name and address.

If you currently have your dividends paid to you by cheque, you can, if you wish, request that they be paid directly into your bank or building society account on the day that the dividend is paid. This is more convenient and helps reduce the risk of cheques becoming lost or delayed in the post. The associated tax voucher will still be sent direct to your registered address. You can download a dividend mandate form from our website, under the Shareholder Information pages of the Investor Relations section, or from Equiniti's Shareview website. Alternatively you can contact Equiniti on 0871 384 21121, who will also be able to assist with any questions you may have.
If you live overseas, Equiniti offers an Overseas Payment Service which is available in certain countries. This may make it possible to receive dividends direct into your bank account in your local currency2. Further information can be found here or via the Equiniti helpline 0871 384 21121.
