Currently it is expected that US withholding tax will not apply to cash payments. If the tax position changes then this page will be updated with all the relevant information. All shareholders will be written to and provided with clear instructions on the US withholding tax certification documents to be completed to ensure, where possible, that non-US shareholders will not be subject to US withholding tax on any cash payments they receive.
If US withholding tax certification becomes a requirement on this event, all shareholders will be affected. This page will be updated with all the relevant information, and each shareholder will be contacted.
If you hold your shares in Certificated form: You will be sent a letter to your registered address giving you instructions of the actions you need to take to ensure your cash entitlement can be paid gross.
If you hold your shares in CREST: You will be sent a letter to your registered address, a Stock Situation Notice and a CREST Bulletin will be published providing you with the actions required.
If you hold your shares via a Broker or Nominee: They will be contacted as above and will reach out to you if they need any information from you in relation to your holding with them.
