The Company offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan which gives shareholders the opportunity to use their dividend to purchase further Man Group 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. In relation to the 2010 final dividend, the latest date for joining or leaving the DRIP scheme is 2 July 2010. Instructions received after this date will be applied to the next dividend. Copies of the DRIP terms and conditions and the DRIP mandate form can be downloaded from the Investor Relations pages of the Man Group website under the 'Dividends' section of 'Shareholder Information'. Should you have any questions on the Plan, please contact Equiniti on 0871 384 22681.
If you have received multiple copies of shareholder documents, this means that there is more than one account in your name on the share register. If you have acquired shares in Man Group 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. As our Registrars are not allowed to amalgamate the accounts without your written consent, please write to Equiniti at the address above, quoting full details of the accounts you wish to consolidate.

Unsolicited investment advice
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 investment advice:
If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
