Aviva plc and General Accident plc preference shares
Launch of goodwill payment scheme
Aviva plc ("Aviva") and General Accident plc are announcing
today that the discretionary goodwill payment scheme for eligible
preference shareholders is now open for claims.
As announced on 30 April 2018, Aviva is offering a discretionary
goodwill payment scheme to shareholders who sold preference shares*
in the period from 8 to 22 March 2018 (inclusive) at a share price
that was lower than the price that the preference shares returned
to following our announcement on 23 March 2018 ("the Scheme").
The Scheme is intended to put those shareholders in the same
financial position they would have been in had they sold their
preference shares following the 23 March announcement, rather than
the announcement made by Aviva on 8 March 2018.
Aviva has appointed KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as an independent
administrator of the Scheme. The full terms and conditions of the
Scheme and instructions for making a claim, together with updated
frequently asked questions, are available on the KPMG website at:
www.kpmg.co.uk/aviva-scheme.
KPMG is also in the process of contacting all registered holders
who have been identified as entering into a sale of preference
shares during the period from 8 to 22 March 2018 (inclusive)
notifying them of the launch of the Scheme. If the registered
holder was not the beneficial owner of the preference shares, and
therefore is not the party that is eligible to make the claim in
the Scheme, they have been requested to pass on the information
regarding the launch of the Scheme to their underlying clients.
If you are eligible and wish to participate in the Scheme, you
must complete and submit a claim form to KPMG by no later than 31
January 2019. If you have given authority to your broker for them
to submit your claim on your behalf (as part of the
broker-facilitated process we commenced on 1 June 2018), then you
do not need to submit a claim directly to KPMG and instead should
await further correspondence from your broker.
KPMG has established a dedicated helpline to assist any parties
with queries in relation to the Scheme on:
UK Freephone: 0808 169 7987
International: +44 (0) 203 805 2559
(Open 0900 - 1700hrs Monday to Friday, excluding UK public
holidays)
All other information remains as set out in our announcement of
30 April 2018. Previous Aviva announcements on preference shares
