Other shareholder enquiries should be addressed to the company secretary at the registered office. Investor relations website Many commonly asked shareholder questions are addressed in the investor relations section of our website www.atkinsglobal.com E-communications Shareholders can choose to receive all Company communications electronically. To register please visit our shareholder services portal at www.myatkinsshares.com Dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) The Company offers a dividend reinvestment plan to shareholders as a cost-efficient way of increasing their shareholding in the Company. Should you wish to participate in the DRIP please contact the Registrar on the telephone number given above to request a mandate form and an explanatory booklet. Your completed mandate form must be received by the Registrar no later than 27 August 2008 if you wish your final dividend for the year to be reinvested to buy additional shares. Amalgamation of accounts Shareholders who receive duplicate sets of Company mailings owing to multiple accounts in their name should write to the Registrar to have their accounts amalgamated. Unsolicited mail The Company is obliged by law to make its share register available to other organisations who may then use it for a mailing list. If you wish to limit receipt of unsolicited mail you may do so by registering with the Mailing Preference Service (MPS). Registration can be made in writing to: The Mailing Preference Service (MPS), Freepost 29 LON20771, London W1E 0ZT or online at www.mpsonline.org.uk Giving your shares to charity If you only have a small number of shares whose value makes it uneconomic to sell them, you may wish to consider donating them to charity though ShareGift, an independent share donation scheme. The relevant share transfer form can be obtained from the Registrar. ShareGift is administered by the Orr Mackintosh Foundation, registered charity number 10052686. Further information may be obtained on +44 (0)20 7930 3737 or from www.ShareGift.org Identity theft Identity theft is on the increase. Criminals may steal your personal information, putting your Atkins shareholding at risk. Tips for protecting your Atkins shares: • Ensure all your certificates are kept in a safe place or hold your shares electronically in CREST via a nominee • Keep all correspondence from the Registrar that shows your shareholder reference number in a safe place, or destroy your correspondence by shredding it • If you change address inform the Registrar in writing or via our shareholder services portal www.myatkinsshares.com • Know when dividends are paid and consider having your dividend paid directly into your bank account. This will reduce the risk of the cheque being intercepted or lost in the post. If you change your bank account, inform the Registrar of the details of your new account. You can do this via post or online using our shareholder services portal www.myatkinsshares.com. Respond to any letters the Registrar sends to you about this • If you receive a letter from the Registrar regarding a change of address or a dividend instruction but have not recently moved or requested a change to how you receive your dividends please contact them immediately as you may have been a victim of identity theft • If you are buying or selling shares only deal with brokers registered in your country of residence or the UK.
