ShareGift
Many investors find themselves owning parcels of shares in quantities so small that it would cost more to sell them than they are worth. They may therefore be too small to do anything with, but may still bring a tax liability on any dividends paid and unwanted annual reports and other documents.

Bradford & Bingley plc supports ShareGift, which is administered by The Orr Mackintosh Foundation (registered charity number 1052668).

Any shares that you donate to ShareGift will be transferred into the name of The Orr Mackintosh Foundation, who will aggregate them, sell them when possible and donate the proceeds to a growing list of charities. Since ShareGift was started over £4 million has been given to more than 400 different charities.

If you would like to use ShareGift, or receive more information about the scheme, they can be contacted by visiting their website at www.sharegift.org.uk or by calling 0207 337 0501, or by writing to The Orr Mackintosh Foundation, 46 Grosvenor Street, London W1K 3HN.

Dividend mandates
Dividends will be paid to you by cheque to the address held by the Registrar or they can be credited to a suitable bank or building society account.

When the dividend payments are made you will receive a form to enable you to have your future dividends paid directly into an appropriate bank or building society account.

If you have your dividends paid to your bank or building society you will receive one consolidated tax voucher each year.This will contain the taxation details of all dividends paid in that particular tax year.

Electronic communications
The Company has set up a facility for shareholders to take advantage of electronic communications.You can vote online and receive notification of shareholder documents electronically.
