Investor Centre
Investor Centre is based on Cosmos Investor, a sophisticated investor aggregator using Cosmos Technology. The Investor Centre allows investors in companies for whom Computershare acts as share registrar/transfer agent to obtain, from our website, the latest information concerning their shareholding. Daily stock prices and graphical representation of figures are also available. Recent innovations include the ability for investors to obtain a portfolio view of their shareholdings. Investors are also able to initiate minor changes to the standing details maintained by our share registry. See www.computershare.com for more information.

Issuer Online
Issuer Online is a web-based service that removes the need for company personnel to use a dedicated SCRIP terminal to access their company register information. Client contacts can therefore obtain data without the expense of a terminal.
