Ann: Share Purchase Plan Prospectus, page-34

I have just got off the phone to Link. I was told that the company (IVZ) provided the wrong phone number on the announcement and are awaiting it to be updated…..whatever the F that means. She was not even sure if Link were providing applications or whether the company were doing this themselves. Man this sounds like it could get very ugly. Why on earth does something that should be very simple and straightforward need to be this complex. I’m not holding my breath for the applications to emerge any time soon. Very unprofessional.
