ShareGift
The Orr Mackintosh
Foundation operates a charity share donation scheme
for shareholders with small parcels of shares which
may be uneconomic to sell. Details of the scheme are

Unclaimed Assets
Register
BT, along with
many other leading UK companies, subscribes to Experian’s
Unclaimed Assets Register (UAR), a register of individuals
owed unclaimed financial assets such as shareholdings
and dividends. UAR provides members of the public with
a search device to trace lost assets. UAR donates a
proportion of its income to charity. For further information
visit www.uar.co.uk
or telephone 0870 241 1713.
Capital gains
tax The rights issue in June
2001 adjusted the value of your BT shares for capital gains tax (CGT) purposes.
An explanatory leaflet is available from the Shareholder
Helpline.
The demerger of O2 in November 2001
adjusted the value of your BT shares for CGT purposes. For CGT calculations, the
base cost of the BT Group shares is calculated by multiplying the acquisition
cost of the BT shareholding by 77.544%. This is in accordance with the
confirmed opening prices for BT Group shares following the demerger.
