Unsolicited telephone calls – boiler room scams

In recent years, some of our shareholders have received unsolicited telephone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters from organisations or persons claiming or implying that they have some connection with the Company.

These are typically from overseas based ‘brokers’ who target UK shareholders offering to sell them shares that often turn out to be worthless or non-existent, or an inflated price for shares they own. These operations are commonly known as ‘boiler rooms’. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any offers of unsolicited advice, discounted shares, premium prices for shares they own or free reports into the Company. If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:

– ensure you get the correct name of the person and firm; – check that the firm is on the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Register to ensure they are authorised at https://register.fca.org.uk; – use the details on the FCA Register to contact the firm; – call the FCA Consumer Helpline (0800 111 6768) if there are no contact details in the Register or you are told they are out of date; and – if the calls persist, hang up.

If you use an unauthorised firm to buy or sell shares, you will not have access to the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Dividends

Dividends can be paid by BACS directly into a UK bank account, with the dividend confirmation being sent to the shareholder’s address. This is the easiest way for shareholders to receive dividend payments and avoids the risk of lost or out-of-date cheques. A dividend mandate form is available from Equiniti Limited or online at www.shareview.co.uk/info/ directdividends.

Dividends payable in foreign currencies

Equiniti is able to pay dividends to shareholder bank accounts in over 83 currencies worldwide through the Overseas Payment Service. An administrative fee will be deducted from each dividend payment. Further details can be obtained from Equiniti or online at www.shareview.co.uk/info/ops.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) enables shareholders to use their dividends to buy further Great Portland Estates plc shares. Full details of the DRIP can be obtained from Equiniti Limited or online at www.shareview.co.uk/info/drip.

Tax consequences of REIT status

As a REIT, dividend payments may be split between PIDs and non-PIDs. Information in respect of the tax consequences for shareholders of receiving dividends can be found on the Company’s website at www.gpe.co.uk/investors/ shareholder-information/reits.
