Digital communications and managing your shareholding online expandable section
It is important for us to engage with our shareholders so that you are informed about and connected with the Group's financial performance and progress on our strategic aims. Many shareholders choose to receive communications from us in paper but we would encourage all shareholders who can do so to register to receive electronic shareholder communications. This has many benefits such as being able to communicate with you more easily and quickly, it is more environmentally friendly and reduces Group costs, which benefits all shareholders.
To become an e-Shareholder you just need to sign up via the registrar’s Shareview Portfolio service at www.shareview.co.uk which is free, easy and secure. Once you have registered for your Shareview Portfolio, simply log in and become an e-Shareholder by choosing to receive shareholder documents electronically.
We hope you will agree that this is easy to do but if you require any help with this please contact our registrar Equiniti on 0371 384 2990.
How do I get digital communications and access my shareholding online?
Shareholders can do this through the registrar’s online service which is called Shareview. It is secure and free to use. Registration is simple, just follow this link for more information.
What are the benefits of using digital communications?
There are numerous benefits associated with digital communications:
For shareholders: you will no longer have to wait for the post to arrive as you will be notified on the same day that communications are published. Also, this is a more secure way of communicating about your shareholding.
For the environment: the Group uses a substantial amount of paper to communicate with shareholders, whilst relying on road, rail and air transport networks to deliver this. Shareholders can help the Group to reduce the impact this has on the environment as the country moves towards a sustainable low carbon economy.
For the Group: there is the opportunity to make cost savings. The Group has shareholders across the globe and uses a substantial amount of paper to publish communications and to deliver these.
What if I am not used to these things and not sure what to do?
Please be assured that registering to use Shareview is straightforward. It is an easy to use system and is called Portfolio because if you hold shares in more than one company you can connect these different shareholdings through Shareview so you only need to register once. If you only hold shares in the Group that is fine too.
If you have any questions or require any support our registrar, Equiniti, would be happy to help you. Just call them on 0371 384 2990.
What communications can I receive digitally?
Shareholders can elect to receive digital communications which will come in different forms, for example:
- AGM communications will be issued by email with links to documents;
- Dividend tax records are available in Shareview;
- Quarterly shareholding statements for LBGSA participants are available in Shareview; and
- Dividend Reinvestment Plan confirmations are available in Shareview.
What if I change my mind?
Don’t worry, changing your mind is easy, if you decide to receive paper communications instead you just need to go to Shareview and change your instructions. You can do this at any time.
Can I vote online in regards to shareholder meetings?
Shareholders can vote online using the register’s Sharevote system. If you have registered to use Shareview you can access the voting system through Shareview when the company holds a shareholder meeting.

Share fraud expandable section
How to protect yourself
Lloyds Banking Group is aware of the challenges faced by many in protecting their finances from fraud. In addition, with the increasing number of share sale frauds and victims losing up to £200 million in total each year, we also want to highlight the warning signs of this activity and ways you can protect yourself.
What to watch out for
Typically, it will start with an unsolicited telephone call offering you the chance to buy or sell shares or investments in overseas territories with the promise of huge returns.
They often use high pressure sales tactics to encourage you to part with your money, such as telling you that you need to invest at that moment or lose the opportunity. They will emphasise that if you don’t invest at the time of the call just how much money you will lose. And of course, the higher the investment amount, the bigger the loss .
Very often they will make a number of attempts to entice you into parting with your money and offer incentives such as free reports, gifts or discounts.
You may also be asked to transfer your money abroad, for example, to Spain, Dubai or the United States.
They may offer you a UK phone number to call them back on – this may not be all that it seems as sometimes they do not hang up so that you remain connected to them at all times and therefore the number you "dialled" does not actually go through a network. Or, the UK number provided may forward, without your knowledge, to their overseas base.
These companies are not authorised or regulated in the UK and hence investors are not afforded the protection of the Financial Conduct Authority or indeed other overseas regulatory bodies.
No one wants to lose money nor the opportunity to gain profit on an investment. But we urge shareholders to exercise extreme caution in such circ*mstances.
Disclosure of your information
Frauds can happen in many different ways. Please do not give any personal details to any caller, especially those with whom you do not already have an existing relationship, unless you are certain that they are genuine. If the caller is genuine, they will have no problems in providing you with their name contact details and who they represent, so that you may call back.
Always make sure that you have a dial tone before dialling and if you have access to the internet, check the details of the caller (company name and details) before calling.
Please also refer to the section below: How to protect yourself
Please be aware that as a registered shareholder in Lloyds Banking Group, your information (name, address and number of shares held) is a matter of public record under law. However, if your shares are held in a nominee account on your behalf this information is not publically available.
We may engage third parties to assist us with activity relating to your shares, for example, asset reunification. However, you can be assured that we will not sell your private data to a third party.
Lloyds Banking Group will not contact you by telephone to buy or sell your shares.
Neither ourselves nor any of our representatives will ask you for your credit card or bank account details in relation to any services or offers that you have not first requested or have not elected to participate in.
How to protect yourself
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) offer step by step guidelines as to how to deal with a scenario like the ones noted above. You can access further information from their website at www.fca.org.uk or you can refer to the Beware of Share Fraud leaflet.
What do I do if I am targeted?
If you receive calls like the one described above, please contact the FCA either by telephoning their Consumer Helpline on:UK: 0800 111 6768 (freephone)
From abroad: +44 20 7066 1000
Email: consumer.queries@fca.org.ukor using the share fraud reporting form at www.fca.org.uk/scams
If you believe you are the victim of share sale fraud already and have paid money over, you should contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or you can report this online at www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud
Further information
Should you need any further information, please contact our Registrars, Equiniti (see Registrar Services for details).

Asset reunification - ProSearch expandable section
Lloyds Banking Group has launched a tracing programme in partnership with ProSearch with the aim of reuniting 'lost' shareholders or their estates with unclaimed cash entitlements in respect of payments made by Lloyds TSB, Halifax, or HBOS.
There are various reasons why cash entitlements may not have been claimed by shareholders. The most common reasons are:
- Shareholder not notifying the Registrar of a change of address; or
- Beneficiaries or executors of an estate not being aware of the holding.
If you would like to clarify whether you or a deceased person for whose estate you act holds shares in Lloyds Banking Group (or held shares in HBOS, Halifax or Bank of Scotland), please contact Equiniti (see our Registrar Services section) for further assistance.
Who is ProSearch?
ProSearch Asset Solutions Limited ('ProSearch') is a subsidiary of our Registrar, Equiniti Limited, which specialises in the research, identification and the reuniting of unclaimed assets. They have worked with a variety of well-known companies on similar projects. Further information is provided on their website, www.prosearchassets.com.
Why is this entitlement due?
Cheque(s) have been issued that may have been returned undelivered and / or remain uncashed. These may be in respect of dividends paid either by Lloyds TSB, Halifax or HBOS and may also include payments issued pursuant to corporate actions such as the rights issues.
We have instructed ProSearch to try to find and assist those shareholders or their legal representatives with the repatriation of unclaimed amounts to which they may be entitled.
What should you do if you have received a claim form?
ProSearch will only send a claim form to an address at which they are reasonably certain that the shareholder, or their legal representative, now resides.
The claim form is designed to make the recovery of entitlements as easy as possible. To use this voluntary service, please follow the instructions provided and return the signed and dated form (along with any necessary documents) to ProSearch in the pre-paid envelope provided.
Why are customer and shareholding address details not the same?
The shareholder records are maintained by the Registrar, Equiniti Limited, and as such are maintained separately and externally from any customer records held within our group of companies.
Why is there a fee for using this service?
This service is voluntary. Should you choose to use this voluntary service there will be a fee of 12.5%, plus VAT, of the cash entitlement due. ProSearch will deduct all fees from the entitlements recovered. In the process of operating a programme to trace lost shareholders ProSearch incurs costs including data subject analysis, mailings, identity confirmation, claim validation, and a helpline. By charging a fixed percent, this ensures a fair basis of charging and ensures that each person using the service pays the same relative cost.
How to contact ProSearch?
You can call them on 0800 389 6485 (or +44 (0)121 415 0067 from outside the UK). The lines are open from 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.
How to get further information about unclaimed entitlements or shares?
Please contact our Registrar, Equiniti. See Registrar Services for further information.
