Kier Shares

You can login to the Share Plans Portal (the ‘Portal’) to view your Kier shares. The Portal will show the shares that you hold in your name and where EQ can identify you from Kier’s share register. If you hold shares via other means (such as a third party nominee) they may not show in the Portal but you have the ability to add them.

From the Portal’s home page, click on ‘My investments’:

Sharesave – the Portal shows the contributions you have made into each of the Sharesave plans that you join, together with the current potential value of the Kier shares you could buy with your savings when each plan reaches its 3 year maturity date. Once your Sharesave plan reaches its maturity and you choose to use your savings to purchase Kier shares and hold them, you then become a shareholder in Kier.

SIP – you join and manage the SIP and your Kier shares held in the SIP through the Portal. It shows the shares you have purchased, the type of shares and their availability to sell or transfer. You also manage your SIP contributions from here, how you would like to receive the dividends on the shares, and selling or transferring the shares from the SIP Trust.

Shares – If you hold shares in a share certificate, these will show on the Portal. It is important that you don’t lose or damage your share certificate. You can also make your dividend election on those shares.

Corporate Sponsored Nominee (‘CSN’) – this is a simple way to digitally hold Kier shares. The shares are held on your behalf in an EQ nominee account and you can buy and sell from your CSN account. You can also make your dividend election on those shares. There are several advantages over holding a paper share certificate:

• It is more secure as there is no risk of losing your certificate at home or in the post
• Increased privacy as your shareholder details are taken off Kier’s share register which is public
• The fees to sell your shares are lower as the administration is all electronic
• Receiving your cash proceeds quicker when you sell your shares
• You can also change your dividend election on EQ's Shareview directly from the Portal.

Shareview is the EQ portal where you can view and manage your Kier shares. You can buy and sell Kier shares and decide how you would like to receive your dividends and shareholder communications.

It is easier for Kier employees to manage their Kier shares by logging into the Kier Share Plans Portal as this links straight through to EQ Shareview and no separate registration or password is needed (this flowchart explains how this works). You can go directly to www.shareview.co.uk but you can’t link directly through to the share plans information.

The EQ CSN offers a simple and convenient way to hold and manage your Kier shares electronically, without having to hold a paper share certificate. Shares held in a CSN account can be sold or transferred at a time of your choosing. This flowchart explains how the process works.

From here you can transfer to your Spouse/Civil Partner (which can assist with tax planning) – See EQ Form A.

It is easy to transfer share certificates into the CSN. See Shareview for more information: - see EQ Form D.

Kier pays dividends to its shareholders. In order to be eligible to receive shares you need to hold your shares on the Dividend Record Date, which is when a snapshot of Kier’s register of all its shareholders is taken. Dividends are normally paid twice a year (subject to shareholder approval where required) around May and November. Details of the dividends paid are at: www.kier.co.uk/investors/shareholder-centre/dividend-information.

If you hold Kier shares (through a nominee or share certificate) you can choose if you would like to receive your dividend as a cash payment or through Kier’s Dividend Reinvestment Programme (DRIP) where your dividend cash is used to buy additional shares. See details on how to change your dividend choice here. It is important to note that if you receive dividends worth more than £500 in a tax year, you may be liable for tax. You can make your dividend payment choice through the Portal.

You can find out about the dividends paid on your shares in EQ Shareview – Quick Links section.

If you have shares in the SIP, these are eligible for a dividend payment. See the SIP section for more information.

Rather than receive dividends on your Kier shares as cash, with EQ Boost, you can boost your dividends and change them into eVouchers for top brands.

More information is available at shareview.info/eqboost.

Currently, in the EQ Share Plans App you can see the number of shares held and their value (as shown on the Portal) but you can’t make any instructions on them.

As a shareholder in Kier, you are able to both have your say and vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting and any other shareholder meetings.

For shares held via share certificate or in the EQ Corporate Sponsored Nominee, you will have a 'Vote Now' link shown under the Shares page on Shareview, simply click this link and use the online form to submit your instruction. For SIP shares, you are able to vote using from the SIP section on the Portal.

We encourage all of our shareholders to receive their shareholder communications electronically. By signing up for e-comms, you will:

• Receive communications (such as annual reports) as soon as they are available
• Reduce the risk of communications being misplaced or lost
• Help to reduce the environmental impact

You can sign up for e-comms from EQ Shareview.

Some Kier employees are prevented from buying or selling Kier shares at certain times as they might have confidential information regarding Kier’s finances, plans, major contracts, etc. that could be material to Kier’s share price. These employees will be notified if they are subject to these restrictions under Kier’s share dealing code. In addition, any employee that has ‘inside information’ must not deal in Kier’s shares. Inside information is defined as precise information about the Company or its shares which:

• Is not publicly available
• If it were made public would be likely to have a significant effect on the price of Kier’s shares
• An investor would be likely to use as part of the basis of their investment decision

Please refer to the Kier share dealing code, which is available on Your Kier.
