Electronic Shareholder Communication

We would like to invite our shareholders to receive their shareholder communications by e-mail and from the internet rather than on paper.

Each year, millions of annual and interim reports are printed and sent by companies to their shareholders – usually on paper. Opting to receive information electronically will provide you with speedier access to the very latest information about Compass, whilst also being kinder to the environment.

Details of how to make this choice are set out below.

To encourage our shareholders to convert to e-communications and as a way of saying ‘thank you’, we will arrange for a tree to be dedicated to you in the UK. Compass Group is working with The CarbonNeutral Company for this project.

Benefits of e-communications

Registering for e-communications will have a number of advantages, including:

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

What you need to do

To receive your shareholder communications electronically and have a tree dedicated to you, simply:

Go to the website, www.capitashareportal.com ;
Click on ‘Register for the Share Portal’ on the right hand side of the page;
Type in ‘Compass’ and click ‘Search’;
Click on ‘Compass Group PLC’:
Enter your details including your investor code (which you will find on your share certificate or on your dividend tax voucher) to register for the Share Portal.

You will then be able to access your Compass Group shareholding and register to receive all future communications electronically.

If you have any questions, please telephone 0871 664 0391 (calls cost 10pence per minute plus network extras)

Thank you for your support.
