buying, selling and transferring shares

HMV Group plc shares can be traded through most banks, building societies, stockbrokers or ‘share shops’. They all offer a similar service although the commissions they charge will vary.

Capita Share Dealing Services enables HMV Group shareholders to either sell or buy HMV Group shares. An online 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.

For further information on this service, or to buy and sell shares, please contact:

• www.capitadeal.com
• 0871 664 0454 (telephone dealing – calls cost up to10p per minute plus network extras). Lines are open Monday-Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm.

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.

Capita Share Dealing Services is a trading name of Capita IRG Trustees Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

transferring shares

If a buyer and seller of shares agree, they can transfer shares off market by using a stock transfer form, rather than going to a bank or stockbroker. Download the Stock Transfer form. Please read the guidance notes carefully and if you need help completing this form you should contact an advisor.

Send the completed form and the share certificates to the Registrar. This method of transferring shares is commonly used when no stamp duty is payable, for example when shares are gifted to relatives or charities on the distribution of an estate.

If stamp duty is payable, send the completed transfer form to an Inland Revenue Stamp Office. The duty must be paid before the form can be forwarded to the Registrar to make the transfer. Stamp duty is currently 0.5% of the value of your shareholding, rounded to the nearest £5.

If the transfer of your shares is not received by the Registrar until after the record date, you will still receive a dividend payment.
