Unauthorised brokers (boiler room scams)<br />
Kingfi sher plc is legally obliged to make its share register available to the<br />
general public. Consequently some shareholders may receive unsolicited<br />
mail, including correspondence from unauthorised investment companies.<br />
Companies have become increasingly aware that their shareholders have<br />
received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment<br />
matters. These are typically from overseas based brokers who target UK<br />
shareholders offering to sell what often turn out to be worthless or high risk<br />
shares in US or UK investments. They can be very persistent <strong>and</strong> extremely<br />
persuasive. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited<br />
advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports.<br />
Details of any share dealing facilities that the Company endorses will be<br />
included in Company mailings.<br />
