Registrar and shareholding enquiries

If you have administrative enquiries about your holding of Tesco PLC shares (other than ADRs) please contact:

Consolidated tax vouchers

If your dividend is paid directly into your bank or building society account you will receive one tax voucher each year. The consolidated tax voucher will be sent to you in December at the time that the interim dividend is paid and will cover both dividend payments in the tax year. This will help you to complete your tax return. This does not affect your dividends or the tax that you pay in anyway. If you would prefer to receive a tax voucher with each dividend payment rather than one consolidated tax voucher each tax year, please call our shareholder helpline on 0871 384 2977.

If your dividend is not currently paid directly to your bank or building society account and you would like to benefit from this service please contact Equiniti on 0871 384 2977 and they will be pleased to arrange this for you. By choosing to receive your dividends in this way you can avoid the risk of cheques getting lost in the post and ensure you receive your dividends on the payment day.

Note: Consolidated tax vouchers are not available to institutional shareholders.

Security reminder

Tesco PLC are aware that our shareholders have been targeted by unsolicited phone calls or correspondence from ‘investment specialists’ concerning investment matters. Tesco PLC has no relationship with and does not endorse any of the services offered by these companies. Details of any sharedealing facilities that we endorse are included in our mailings.

Tesco PLC has not appointed or authorised any ‘investment specialists’ to contact shareholders and you should therefore be wary of any unsolicited calls or offers of advice. Such ‘investment specialists’ can be very persistent and extremely persuasive and a survey in 2006 by the Financial Service Authority (the FSA’) has reported that the average amount lost by investors is around £20,000. It is not just the novice investor that’s has been duped in this way, many victims have been successfully investing for a number of years. The followings points are intended to help you in this regard.

Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation and make a record of any other information they give you, e.g. telephone number, address etc.
Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved. You can check at www.fsa.gov.uk/register.
The FSA maintains on its website a list of unauthorised overseas companies who are targeting, or have targeted UK investors and any approach from such organisations should be reported to the FSA so that the list can be kept up to date and any appropriate action can be considered. If you deal with an unauthorised company, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The FSA can be contacted by telephone on 0845 606 1234.
Inform our Registrars Equiniti on 0871 384 2976. Calls to this number are charged at 8p per minute from a BT landline, other telephony providers costs may vary.

More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found on the FSA website www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk

If you are concerned about any direct mailing or telephone calls purporting to be from Tesco, please contact the Company Secretary (contact details below).
