Annual General Meeting (AGM)

The 2009 AGM will be held on Thursday 21 May 2009. Further details are outlined in the Notice of the AGM.

Electronic voting

For the AGM you can register your vote electronically by logging on to the following website: www.sharevote.co.uk. You will need your voting reference numbers (the three 8-digit numbers shown on your Proxy Form). Alternatively, if you have already registered for a Shareview portfolio with Equiniti, then log on to your portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk and click on company meetings.

Receive your Annual Report online

If you have access to the Internet, in future you can receive your copy of the Annual Report by registering with www.shareview.co.uk. This is a service offered by Equiniti that also enables you to check your holdings in many UK companies and helps you to organise your investments electronically. Once you have registered for a portfolio, you can also use this service to change your address details online as well as register your vote for a company’s General Meeting safely, securely and privately.

Consolidated tax vouchers

A new system was introduced in 2008 for those shareholders receiving direct dividend payments. Following this, single consolidated tax vouchers are now issued at the end of March each year, in time for the preparation of self-assessment tax returns.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

As an alternative to receiving a cash dividend you can choose to reinvest your money in the Company's shares by using a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP). The DRIP works by reinvesting your dividend money by way of buying shares in the open market. If you would like to receive further information and an application form for the International Power DRIP, please contact Equiniti on 0871 384 2268.

Individual Savings Accounts

Information on the International Power corporate Individual Savings Account (ISA), which offers a tax-efficient way of holding shares, can be obtained from Equiniti Financial Services Limited, who can be contacted on 0845 300 0430.
