Warning to Shareholders

We have recently been made aware that some of our shareholders have been contacted by telephone by individual(s) purporting to represent G4S. These individuals have sometimes asked for confirmation of personal details.

We would therefore like to assure our shareholders that all bona fide G4S communications are in writing and will never request the disclosure or confirmation of personal details.

G4S does not make direct contact with individual shareholders by telephone and any such communications claiming to be from G4S should be treated with caution and reported immediately to G4S's Registrars, Capita Registrars, 0871 664 0300, (Calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras).

Please also refer to the general FSA and ICSA guidelines, reproduced below.

FSA and ICSA guidelines

Over the last year, many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning investment matters. These are typically from overseas based 'brokers' who target UK shareholders, offering to sell them what often turn out to be worthless or high risk shares in US or UK investments. These operations are commonly known as 'boiler rooms'. These 'brokers' can be very persistent and extremely persuasive, and a 2006 survey by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) has reported that the average amount lost by investors is around £20,000.

It is not just the novice investor that has been duped in this way; many of the victims had been successfully investing for several years. Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports. If you receive any unsolicited investment advice:

Make sure you get the correct name of the person and organisation
Check that they are properly authorised by the FSA before getting involved by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/register
Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0300 500 5000 or visiting www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk
If the calls persist, hang up.

If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you will not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The FSA can be contacted by completing an online form at www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml

Details of any share dealing facilities that the company endorses will be included in company mailings.
