INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR SHAREHOLDING

Shareview, an electronic shareholder communications service from Equiniti, gives you access to more information about your shareholding including balance movements, indicative share prices and information on recent dividend payments. It also allows you to change your registered address details, set up a dividend mandate or change your existing mandate details. To register for this free service, visit www.shareview.co.uk and follow the simple instructions. You will need your shareholder reference number, which can be found on your dividend tax voucher. Through Shareview, you can also register to receive Company communications electronically.

ELECTRONIC SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

In accordance with the company communication provisions in the Companies Act 2006, and as permitted by the Company’s Articles of Association, any document or information required to be sent to shareholders may be sent or supplied by the Company to a shareholder by making that document or information available on the Company’s website, provided that the shareholder has agreed (generally or specifically), or is deemed to have agreed, that the document or information may be sent or supplied to him in that manner and he has not revoked that agreement, and provided the shareholder is sent a notification of the presence of that document or information on the Company’s website. A shareholder who has received notification of availability of a document on the Company’s website is entitled to request, free of charge, a hard copy of any such document at any time. Shareholders can also revoke their consent to receive electronic communications at any time by contacting the Company’s Registrar, Equiniti.

In relation to the Annual Report and Accounts 2007, the majority of shareholders who have elected to receive paper communications have elected to receive the Summary Financial Statements. Shareholders may request copies of the Summary Financial Statements or the full Annual Report and Accounts from the Company’s Registrar, Equiniti.

The Company reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, at its sole discretion, to choose to give, send or supply offers, notices, information or other documents in hard copy form only to some or all shareholders.

VOTING ELECTRONICALLY

All shareholders can submit proxies for the Annual General Meeting electronically at www.sharevote.co.uk

Alternatively, shareholders who have already registered with Shareview can appoint a proxy by logging on to www.shareview.co.uk and then clicking on ‘Company Meetings’.

CONSOLIDATED TAX VOUCHERS

Shareholders who have elected to have their dividends paid directly into their bank account receive just one tax voucher each year covering both the interim and final dividend payments. The consolidated tax voucher enclosed with this Annual Report covers all dividends paid during the 2007/8 tax year. If you have more than one shareholder account in the same name(s) you will receive a separate letter in respect of the shareholdings in addition to the one shown on the consolidated tax voucher enclosed with this Annual Report. Shareholders wishing to receive a tax voucher in respect of each dividend payment should contact Equiniti.

OVERSEAS DIVIDEND PAYMENTS

A service has been established to provide shareholders in over 30 countries with the opportunity to receive BG Group dividends in their local currency. For an administration fee, shareholders can have their dividends automatically converted from pounds Sterling and paid into their bank account, normally within five working days of the dividend payment date. For further details, please contact Equiniti at the address above or call +44 (0)121 415 7029.

GIFTING YOUR SHARES

To transfer your shares to another member of your family as a gift, please ask the Registrar for a gift transfer form. The completed transfer form with the relevant share certificate(s) should be returned to the Registrar to record the change in ownership. If you have a small number of shares and would like to donate them to charity, please ask the Registrar for a ShareGift (charity donation scheme) transfer form. Information is also available on the ShareGift website at www.sharegift.org
