Share dealing services
A quick and easy share dealing service to either sell or buy shares in many leading UK companies is provided by Capita Share Dealing Services. An on-line and telephone facility is available providing our shareholders with an easy to access and simple to use service.

There's no need to pre-register and there are no complicated forms to fill in. The online and telephone dealing service allows you to trade "real time" at a known price which will be given to you at the time you give your instruction.

To deal online or by telephone all you need is your surname, Investor Code reference number, full postcode and your date of birth. Your Investor Code can be found on a recent share certificate, statement or tax voucher. Please have the appropriate documents to hand when you log on or call, as this information will be needed before you can buy or sell shares.

  • www.capitadeal.com (online dealing)
  • 0871 664 0446 (telephone dealing – calls cost 10p per minute plus network extras)

Full terms, conditions and risks apply and are available on request or by visiting www.capitadeal.com.

This is not a recommendation to buy or sell shares. The price of shares can go down as well as up, and you are not guaranteed to get back the amount that you originally invested.

Unauthorised brokers (Boiler Room Scams)
Shareholders are advised to be very wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount or offers of free company reports. 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.

More detailed information can be found on the FSA website: www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk

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. You can check at: www.fsa.gov.uk/register
  • The FSA also maintains a list of unauthorised overseas firms who are targeting, or have targeted, UK investors. The list can be found at: www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/doing/regulated/law/alerts/overseas.shtml
  • Any approach from such organisations should be reported to the FSA using the online form so that this list can be kept up to date and any other appropriate action can be considered.
  • Inform Capita Registrars (contact details given above).

If you deal with an unauthorised firm, you would not be eligible to receive payment under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Details of any sharedealing facilities that the Company endorses will only be included in company mailings.

Identity theft
Tips for protecting your ITV plc shares:

  • Ensure all your certificates are kept in a safe place or hold your shares electronically in CREST via a nominee.
  • Keep all correspondence from the registrar in a safe place, or destroy correspondence by shredding.
  • If you change address inform the registrar in writing or via the Shareholder Portal. If you receive a letter from the registrar regarding a change of address but have not recently moved please contact them immediately.
  • Consider having your dividend paid directly into your bank. This will reduce the risk of the cheque being intercepted or lost in the post.
  • If you change your bank account, inform the registrar of the details of your new account. You can do this via post or online using the Shareholder Portal. Respond to any letters the registrar sends you about this.
  • If you are buying or selling shares only deal with brokers registered in your country of residence or the UK.
