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
available from ShareGift at www.sharegift.org or by telephone on 020 7828 1151.
Details can also be obtained from the Shareholder Helpline.
UNCLAIMED ASSETS REGISTER
BT subscribes to this
search facility for financial assets that have become separated from their owners.
The register donates a proportion of its public search fees to charity via ShareGift.
Further information can be found at 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.
