You may at some point wish to transfer your shares to someone else (for example, your spouse or partner or in an 'off market' sale). As these transactions usually do not involve a stockbroker, you can use a stock transfer form, which can be obtained from Computershare.

The practice of share fraud (also known as 'boiler room' scams) unfortunately continues with many companies' shareholders receiving unsolicited phone calls or mail from people offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments, or to buy shares at an inflated price in return for an upfront payment. For further advice, please see the听Financial Conduct Authority鈥檚 share fraud warning leaflet听or contact Computershare.
You can request to receive all future communications electronically by completing the electronic shareholder communication sign up forms provided by听.
听
In order to sign up for electronic shareholder communications, you will need your Shareholder Reference Number or SRN as well as your registered address details.
听
You will also be asked to agree to the terms and conditions of the service. You should read these carefully, as they will set out the basis on which shareholder communications will be sent to you.
Each time 糖心探花issues or mails a shareholder communication (such as the Annual Report and Notice of the Annual General Meeting) you will be sent an email alert or notification containing a link to the relevant documents.
听
糖心探花reserves the right to continue to send any future communications to shareholders in paper form, irrespective of any election made, whenever the Board considers it necessary to do so.
While we would encourage you to consider the benefits of 鈥榚-communications鈥, the Company realises that electronic shareholder communications are not for everyone. Therefore, if you want to continue to receive printed copies of documents (such as the Annual Report and Notice of Meeting) you need take no action.
听
