Warning to Shareholders

Aviva and our Registrar, Computershare, have been contacted by a number of our shareholders regarding calls they have received from people claiming to represent Aviva plc.

We advise shareholders to be very cautious of any cold calls they receive regarding their shareholdings or investment opportunities.

The Financial Conduct Authority advise:

“Remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

We strongly advise you to only deal with financial services firms that are authorised by us, and check the Register to ensure they are. Keep in mind that authorised firms are unlikely to contact you out of the blue with an offer to buy or sell shares.

Find out the steps you should take to protect yourself from share fraud and how to stay safe from more investment scams.”

Changes to Computershare Investor Services PLC Terms and Conditions

We need to make you aware of some changes to the Terms and Conditions of the Aviva Share Account and the Aviva Dividend Reinvestment Plan administered by Computershare Investor Services PLC.

The revised Terms and Conditions and FAQs are available to view and download below:

Aviva Share Account (PDF 275.8 KB)

The Aviva Dividend Reinvestment Plan (PDF 226.0 KB)

Changes to the Terms and Conditions FAQs (PDF 118.6 KB)

Please note that you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed on your computer, or any other web-enabled device, in order to be able to download documents from the Aviva website.

You don’t need to do anything, but if you have any questions or would like to receive a hard copy of the Terms and Conditions, please contact Computershare.

The changes to the terms and conditions are driven by regulatory changes introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) relating to the way authorised and regulated firms should manage any assets (cash and/or shares) held on behalf of customers. The new regulatory changes are also designed to ensure that if a firm enters into insolvency, the greatest proportion possible of client assets are returned to clients and the process to return the assets is completed as quickly as possible.

Computershare Investor Services PLC is authorised and regulated by the FCA, therefore the Terms and Conditions for the services they provide have been updated where they hold cash and/or shares on your behalf. The updates that have been made to the Terms and Conditions do not reduce the levels of protection that were provided previously. However, for a limited period until 2 November 2015, you will be able to withdraw your shares from the Aviva Share Account and receive a share certificate, free of charge.
