Share certificates are legal documents that show how many shares you have bought in a listed company, and should be kept in a safe place. Unless you opt to hold your shares in electronic form (through a CREST account or through a nominee), a certificate is sent to you when you have bought your shares.

Contact the Company’s Registrar, quoting your shareholder reference number if you have it - this can be found on your share certificate or on the tax voucher accompanying your dividend. The Registrar keeps a record of shareholders names and addresses, and the number of shares they own. Registrar contact details will be provided on admission.

The Directors intend to adopt a progressive dividend policy whilst maintaining an appropriate level of dividend cover. This policy is intended to allow the Group to retain sufficient capital to meet both the working capital needs of the business and to fund the planned continued expansion of the Group in line with its roll-out strategy. The Board’s current intention is to target an initial payout ratio of approximately 10 per cent. to 20 per cent. of Group Adjusted Net Income. Assuming that there are sufficient distributable reserves available at the time, the Directors intend that the Company will pay an interim dividend and a final dividend in respect of each financial year in the approximate proportions of one-third and two-thirds, respectively, of the total annual dividend.

 

The Company may revise its dividend policy from time to time. There are no guarantees that the Company will pay dividends or the level of any such dividends.

Please refer to the Financial Calendar for details of dividend payment dates.

Shares can be bought and sold through a stockbroker, bank, building society or "share shop". You should always seek independent financial advice before buying and selling shares.

Your share certificate provides details of how many shares you have bought in the Company.

If you have lost your share certificate, you should contact the Company’s Registrar as quickly as possible, quoting your shareholder reference number if you have it - this can be found on your share certificate or on the tax voucher accompanying your dividend. The Registrar keeps a record of shareholders names and addresses, and the number of shares they own. We will appoint a registrar after Admission.
