Electronic Communication

Electronic Communication is a way to receive shareholder communications from Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc via email, instead of by post. Once you register your permission and an email address, you will no longer receive copies of certain paper documents, such as Annual Reports, by post. Instead you will receive an email containing links to the Investor Relations website, where electronic copies of the documents can be viewed or downloaded. You will still have access to the same information sent to shareholders; at the same time or even earlier than if the documents were sent by post.

How does electronic communication work?

This service will be provided by the Group’s Registrars, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited. They will provide an internet-based portfolio of shareholder services, incorporating electronic communication. All a shareholder has to do is register an email address to receive shareholder communications electronically.

When will this be available?

Further information on how to register for electronic communications will be circulated to shareholders in advance of the Annual Report and Final Dividend Payment.

Have your dividends paid directly into your bank account

This service was introduced some time ago for shareholders who have a bank account in the Republic of Ireland and we will be introducing the same service to our shareholders who have a bank account in the United Kingdom for the Interim Dividend 2007.

Some of the benefits to shareholders of this service are as follows:

Your account is credited immediately on dividend payment date, without risk of loss or delay in the post;

You avoid the inconvenience of having to take or send your dividend cheque to your Bank;

You avoid the risk of mislaying or accidentally destroying your dividend cheque;

You are sent written confirmation (the dividend counterfoil), when the dividend is paid, showing the total dividend due, the tax (if any) deducted, and the net amount credited to your account; and

Charges for electronic credits are generally lower than charges for cheque lodgements.

Check your shareholding online

If you would like to check the amount of shares held in your name, simply click on the link below and you will be taken directly to the Bank's Registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited.

For security purposes, you will need to enter your "holder identifier" number. This is your account reference number and is designated as "Account Number:" on your Dividend Cheque/Electronic Funds Transfer Advice/Tax Voucher or Share Certificate which you have received from Computershare.

You can also view the transaction and dividend history on your account and download a number of forms to enable you to advise the Registrar of a change of address, amalgamation of multiple holdings or a dividend mandate instruction. You simply print the appropriate form, complete it and post it to the Registrar.
