Registrars
All administrative enquiries relating to shareholdings should, in the first instance, be directed to the Company's registrars and clearly state the shareholder's name and address. Please write to: Equiniti Limited, PO Box 28448, Finance House, Orchard Brae, Edinburgh EH4 1WQ. Telephone 0871 384 2408. Registrar forms can be obtained on-line.
Stagecoach individual savings accounts

Low cost share dealing facility
The Company has set up a low cost execution only share dealing facility with a division of Brewin Dolphin, Stocktrade, exclusive to Stagecoach shareholders. The commission is 0.5% up to £10,000 with 0.2% being charged on the excess thereafter, subject to a £15 minimum.
Shareholders who would like further information should write to Stocktrade, 81 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 3ES. Telephone 0845 601 0995, quoting dealing reference Low Co020. Postal dealing packs are available on request.
Payment of dividends by BACS
Many shareholders have already arranged for dividends to be paid by mandate directly to their bank or building society account. The mandates enable the Company to pay dividends through the BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services) system. The benefit to shareholders of the BACS system is that the registrar posts the tax vouchers directly to them, whilst the dividend is credited on the payment date to the shareholder bank or building society account. Shareholders who wish to benefit from this service should request the Company's registrars (address above) to send them a dividend/interest mandate form or alternatively complete the mandate form attached to the next dividend tax voucher they receive.
Dividend Re-Investment Plan
The Company operates a Dividend Re-Investment Plan which allows a shareholder's cash dividend to be used to buy Stagecoach shares at favourable commission rates. Shareholders who would like further information should telephone the Company's registrars, Equiniti Limited, on 0871 384 2408.
