Information

Electronic communications

We are encouraging our shareholders to receive their shareholder information by email and via our website. Not only is this a quicker way for you to receive information, it helps us be more sustainable by reducing paper and printing materials and lowering postage costs.

Registering for electronic shareholder communications is very straightforward, and is done online via shareview.co.uk which is a website provided by our Registrar, Equiniti.

Log on to shareview.co.uk and you can:

  • set up electronic shareholder communication;
  • view your shareholdings;
  • update your address details if you change your address; and
  • get your dividends paid directly into your bank account.

You can view or download the full Annual Report from: http://dechra.annualreport2016.com.

Please do not use any electronic address provided in this document to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

Dividends paid direct to your bank account

Why we recommend that your dividend should be paid directly into an account.

  • It is more secure than cheques by post.
  • Funds are placed in your account on the payment date.
  • There is no need to pay in each cheque.
  • It avoids the inconvenience and cost of lost, spoiled or out of date cheques.
  • A tax voucher is sent to your registered address.

To take advantage of this method of payment, please contact our Registrar, Equiniti, via the contact details below, log on to shareview.co.uk or alternatively, complete the dividend mandate form that you will receive with your next dividend cheque.

Please detach and return the Proxy Form by post How to fill in the Proxy Form – Whether or not you can attend the Annual General Meeting on Friday 21 October

2016, we recommend that you appoint either the chairman of the meeting or any other person of your choice as your proxy to attend and vote for you. A proxy need not be a shareholder. To appoint someone other than the chairman, you should cross out the words 'the chairman of the meeting or' and write in the box the name and address of the person you want to be your proxy. Your proxy will be entitled to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, speak and vote at the meeting.

Voting less than your entitlement – If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy. If left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full entitlement.

Multiple proxies – If you want to appoint more than one proxy please tick the 'multiple proxies' box. Additional Proxy Forms may be obtained by contacting our Registrar, Equiniti, on 0371 384 2030 or you may photocopy this form. Please indicate in the box next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which they are authorised to act as your proxy and return all Proxy Forms in the same envelope to the address shown overleaf. Overseas shareholders should contact Equiniti on +44 (0) 121 415 7047.

Recording your votes – Please mark the appropriate box overleaf 'for', 'against' or 'withheld' for each resolution in black ink like this: x . Your proxy will have discretion to vote on any Resolution where you have not given a specific instruction how to vote or on any other business which may properly come before the meeting. A 'withheld' vote is not a vote in law and will not be counted in the proportion of shares for or against any Resolution.

Please sign and date the Proxy Form, initial any alterations, tear it off and post it (postage paid).

Deadline for submission – To be valid, your proxy instructions must be received no later than 1.00 pm on Wednesday 19 October 2016. Details of the Resolutions are set out in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting. You can submit your proxy instructions electronically at www.sharevote.co.uk. To do this, you will need your voting reference numbers (the three numbers quoted overleaf). CREST members can use the CREST electronic proxy voting service.

Joint holders – In the case of joint holders, only one need sign the Proxy Form. In the case of a corporation, the Proxy Form must be signed as a deed or be appropriately signed by a duly authorised official or officials whose capacity should be stated. The appropriate power of attorney or other authority should be sent with the Proxy Form.
