Electronic shareholder communication

You can choose to receive your shareholder communications by email and from the Internet rather than on paper.

Each year, we print and send out thousands of paper annual reports to our shareholders. Opting to receive information electronically will provide you with speedier access to the very latest information about Compass Group, whilst also being kinder to the environment.

In recognition of the benefits to the environment and as a way of saying ‘thank you’ to each shareholder who chooses electronic communication, we will arrange for a tree to be dedicated to you in the UK. The CarbonNeutral Company, with whom Compass Group is working for this project, will issue an e-certificate to shareholders in respect of their agreement to receive e-communications.

Benefits of e-communications
Advantages of electronic communications include:

• Speedier delivery of documents;
• Cost savings for the Company on the delivery of documents;
• Ability to access reports and results on the internet when you need them, wherever you are;
• Opportunity to proactively manage your shareholding, including changes to personal details;
• Confirmation of receipt of proxy appointments; and Saving resources.
