If I cannot attend the AGM, can I still vote?

If you cannot attend the meeting yourself, you can still participate by voting online by selecting discoverIE Group plc on this page

https://www.shareview.co.uk/4/Info/Portfolio/default/en/home/shareholders/Pages/Sharevote.aspx.

Alternatively, you can appoint either the Chairman or someone else to go in your place as your ‘proxy’. To do this, you must complete the proxy card that is sent to you with the notice of meeting and send it back to the Company’s Registrar in advance of the AGM. If a poll is taken on a resolution, your proxy can cast your vote for you and speak on your behalf. If you cannot appoint a proxy to attend the meeting in person, you can still send the proxy form back to us and in the event of a poll on any resolution the Chairman will cast your vote for you in line with the instructions you give on the form.

What does ‘ex-dividend’ mean?

This is a description that is quoted next to a share price. It translates as ‘without dividend’ and means that the next dividend payment is not included in the price of the share. This is necessary because the dividend is paid to all shareholders who were on the register at close of trading on a specified date. Any shareholder buying shares who is registered after this day will not receive the dividend. To compensate for this, the market price usually drops by the amount of the dividend payment and to the description ‘xd’ is added to share price quotations to confirm that this has happened. To avoid confusion around this time, prices are sometimes quoted ‘cum dividend’ (meaning ‘with dividend’) which means that the buyer will be entitled to the next dividend payment and the share price has not been adjusted.

I live abroad. Can I receive dividends in my local currency?

Yes, the Registrar’s Overseas Payment Service enables you to receive your dividend directly into your bank account in your local currency. Please note that the Registrar will deduct a payment charge from each dividend payment before converting it into your chosen currency. Your tax voucher will be despatched in the usual manner. This is a service that can be arranged in over 90 countries worldwide and it normally costs less than paying in a UK cheque. The dividend will be credited to your account automatically – normally just a few days after the company’s dividend payment date.
