Disclosure information for shareholders

Guidance for Shareholders/Prospective Shareholders Regarding Disclosure of Voting Rights/Shareholdings

Since the Disclosure & Transparency Rules came into effect on 20 January 2007, it is now required that any shareholder who has a change of shareholdings in any listed company which results in their holding being at three per cent or more must, within two days of the transaction, complete a form TR-1 and send it to the company and the Financial Services Authority (FSA). The company itself must then announce details of the notification to the market (via an RNS announcement) by close of business of the next working day.

Rather than being based on "interest in shares" the disclosure is now based on the total number of voting rights and capital for each class of shares. The total number of voting rights issues by the company can be obtained via the RNS service, or from the company’s website, or by requesting this information from the Company Secretary.

In order to assist you with this process, a downloadable copy of the form TR-1 is available in the downloads area in the top right of this page, and we would ask that you either fax, post or email it to:
