Compass Group PLC shares can be traded through most banks, building societies, stockbrokers or ‘share shops’. They all offer a similar service although the commissions they charge will vary.
A quick and easy online and telephone share dealing service is available in conjunction with our registrars. Capita Share Dealing Services enables Compass Group shareholders to either sell or buy Compass Group shares.
There's no need to pre-register and there are no complicated forms to fill in. The online and telephone dealing service allows you to trade ‘real time’ at a known price which will be given to you at the time you give your instruction.
To deal online or by telephone all you need is your surname, Investor Code reference number, full postcode and your date of birth. Your Investor Code reference number can be found on a recent share certificate, statement or tax voucher.
Please have the appropriate documents to hand when you log on or call, as this information will be needed before you can buy or sell Compass Group shares.
Should you be unable to locate your Investor Code reference number, please contact Capita Registrars within the UK on Freephone 0800 280 2545 and from overseas +44 20 7763 0041

Transferring shares
If a buyer and seller of shares agree, they can transfer shares off market by using a stock transfer form, rather than going to a bank or stockbroker.
Download the Stock Transfer Form. Please read the guidance notes carefully and if you need help completing this form you should contact an advisor.
Send the completed form and the share certificates to the Registrar. This method of transferring shares is commonly used when no stamp duty is payable, for example when shares are gifted to relatives or charities on the distribution of an estate.
If stamp duty is payable, send the completed transfer form to an Inland Revenue Stamp Office. The duty must be paid before the form can be forwarded to the Registrar to make the transfer. Stamp duty is currently 0.5% of the value of your shareholding, rounded to the nearest £5.
If the transfer of your shares is not received by the Registrar until after the record date, you will still receive a dividend payment.
