*A scrip dividend alternative will be available.
Annual General Meeting The Annual General Meeting will be held on Thursday, 13 September 2007 at 1200 noon. The full Notice of Meeting and proxy card accompany these Report and Accounts. Investors holding shares in the Company through a nominee service should arrange with that nominee service to be appointed as a corporate representative or proxy in respect of their shareholding in order to attend and vote at the Meeting.
Scrip dividend The Company currently offers shareholders the option to receive ordinary shares in lieu of dividends. A scrip dividend mandate is available from the Registrars for the convenience of shareholders who would like to elect to receive future dividends automatically, in the form of new ordinary shares, and for the carry forward of fractional entitlements. The necessary forms for the 2006/2007 final scrip dividend and mandate will be despatched shortly.
Dividend payments by BACS Many shareholders already have their dividends paid directly into their bank or building society account through BACS (Bankers Automated Clearing Service). The benefit to shareholders is that the cleared funds are available on the dividend payment date; it is more secure than sending a cheque by post and avoids the inconvenience of lost, stolen, spoiled or out of date cheques. The tax voucher is sent by the Registrars to the shareholder's registered address. Shareholders who are interested in having their dividend paid direct into their account should complete the Direct Payment Request Form that will accompany their dividend warrant and tax voucher in September 2007.
Employee share ownership The Xansa Board believes that it is important for all its employees to have a real stake in the ownership of the Company. To encourage this, the Company has designed four share schemes to make it easy for all employees to participate in the Company's success. These are the Xansa All Employee Share Ownership Plan (AESOP), the Xansa 1996 Share Option Scheme, the Xansa All Employee International Share Option Scheme and the Xansa Sharesave Scheme.

Low cost dealing The Company has arranged with Stocktrade to provide employee shareholders with a simple, low cost method of buying and selling its shares. Details are available from the Company Secretarial Department.
