Aviva tracing programme with Georgeson
At the 2018 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved changes to our Articles of Association allowing the implementation of a share forfeiture programme. This will allow us to sell shares of any holder who has not claimed a dividend for 12 years and not been in contact with our Registrar during that time. As a result Aviva has renewed the Georgeson tracing programme.
It is very important that if you are contacted by Georgeson, you respond. The contact details for Georgeson are as follows if any shareholder has any queries:
Telephone:
0800 923 1521
Email:
assetreunification@georgeson.com

If shareholders have any further questions, please contact Aviva directly at: aviva.shareholders@aviva.com

Changes to terms and conditions
Computershare has communicated with shareholders regarding some changes they are making to the operation of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) and the Aviva Share Account in response to regulatory changes.
The regulatory changes are required due to the implementation of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II). MiFID II updates the existing legal framework for how investment services are provided in the European Union by investment firms and comes into force on 3 January 2018.
MiFID II was designed to improve the way financial markets operate in light of the financial crisis of 2007-2008 and to strengthen investor protection. Some of these changes in MiFID II have meant Computershare have needed to change their terms and conditions. None of these changes has any negative effect on your rights under the existing terms and conditions and you do not need to take any action with regard to the changes.
All participants in either the DRIP or Aviva Share Account have been, or will be shortly, contacted with copies of the new terms and conditions and they can be downloaded using the links below.

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.”
