Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to welcome you as a new shareholder and thank you for investing in Standard Chartered PLC ("the Company"). Please log onto our website http://investors.sc.com/en/index.cfm for more information about the Company, to find share price information, and to access the shareholder pages including the latest copy of our annual and half year reports.

Shareholder Documentation

To assist us with our commitment to the environment and our focus on cost control, we encourage you to manage your shareholding online at www.computershare.com/hk/investors. Before using this facility you will need to contact the Company's branch registrar at 2862 8555 in advance before registering with the Investor Centre.

You will not automatically receive a hard copy of the annual report, half year report, or other shareholder documentation, you will instead be sent a notification that the documentation is available to view on the Company's website. This initiative is about shareholder choice and if you would like to receive hard copy documentation please complete the form below.

Dividend

You may also find it convenient to have your Hong Kong dollar cash dividends paid direct to your bank account. If so please complete the cash mandate form below.

We offer a Scrip Dividend alternative and the option of US Dollars or sterling which can be elected online via www.computershare.com/hk/investors.

To review the latest information which explains your dividend options, please visit the Company's website http://investors.sc.com/en/dividend.cfm.

Commitment to change simple things in our everyday lives cumulatively makes a significant contribution to environmental protection; your support is very much appreciated and will help make a difference.

Thank you.
