Shareholder Security
Many companies have become aware that their shareholders have received unsolicited phone calls or correspondence concerning Investment matters. 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. These operations are commonly known as ‘boiler rooms’.
Premier Farnell is not aware that anyone has been approached regarding its shares, however 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 by visiting www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/register
- Report the matter to the FSA either by calling 0845 606 1234 or visiting www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk
- If the calls persist, hang up.
More detailed information on this or similar activity can be found on the FSA website www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk.
Details of any share dealing facilities that the company endorses will be included in company mailings.
