Your share certificates are proof of your ownership so if you loose them let us
know as soon as you can. When you contact us, let us know the details of any
certificates you’ve still got; this will help us identify the missing ones
quickly. We’ll then send you a letter of indemnity for you to sign and return to
us. This letter requests replacements for lost share certificates from the
company. By signing this letter you are agreeing to:
(i) Return the lost share certificates to us for cancellation,
should you find them again at a later date; and
(ii)
Guarantee that Parkwood Holdings plc will not be liable
for any losses that result from issuing your duplicate certificates.

What should I do if I want to sell my shares?
As Parkwood Holdings plc is no longer listed on the London Stock Exchange, it is
not now possible to sell your shares on this market. If you have reached an
agreement with someone who wishes to buy the shares from you, please follow the
process for transferring your shares to someone else set out below. If you would
like to sell your shares, but do not have a buyer, you may register your
interest in selling your shares by completing the enquiry form above. We can
then arrange to put you in contact with any potential buyers who contact the
company.
As stated in the Tender Offer to shareholders dated 28 April 2011, the company
may consider implementing a further tender offer during 2012. This matter will
be discussed by the Parkwood Holdings Board of Directors in the early part of
2012.

What should I do if I wish to transfer my shares to someone else?
If you want to transfer your shares to someone you know or you have come to a
private arrangement to sell your shares to someone else, you will need to
complete a stock transfer form, which can be downloaded below. To complete the
form you will need to insert the following information.
(i) the amount of consideration being paid for the shares
(ii) the type of shares that you are holding (shares in Parkwood Holdings plc
are Ordinary shares of 1p each)
(iii) the number of shares in words and figures that you are transferring
(iv) your signature and if appropriate the signatures of any joint holders
(v) the full names and addresses of the person(s) to whom you are transferring
the shares
Stamp Duty
Stamp duty is payable if more than £1000 has been paid for the shares. For any
payment under this figure or if no money has changed hands (for example a gift),
then the transaction is exempt from stamp duty. In these instances please sign
and date the back of the stock transfer form.
If stamp duty is payable, you will need to send the completed stock transfer
form together with payment (cheques made payable to ‘HM Revenue and Customs
only’) to:
Birmingham Stamp Office
9th Floor
City Centre House
30 Union Street
Birmingham
B2 4AR.
You should then send the completed and stamped (if applicable) stock transfer
form together with the share certificate to:
The Company Secretary
Parkwood Holdings plc
Parkwood House
Cuerden Park
Berkley Drive
Bamber Bridge
Preston
Lancs
PR5 6BY
We will prepare a new share certificate in the name of the transferee and send
you any balance certificate that might be required.

You should follow the procedure set out above and fill in your name as
transferor and their name as transferee. You should put “gift” or “nil” in the
box on the stock transfer form which asks how much consideration was paid.

What should I do if a shareholder has died?
If you are administering an estate, the first step is to write to:
The Company Secretary
Parkwood Holdings plc
Parkwood House
Cuerden Park
Berkley Drive
Bamber Bridge
Preston
Lancs
PR5 6BY
telling us what you are going to do and enclosing an original copy of the death
certificate. We will then note the death on the share register and place a
temporary marker to ensure that wherever possible, we do not issue further
dividend payments in the shareholders name. We will also send you the forms that
you will need to complete.
There are two ways of re-registering the holding, depending on the size of the
estate.
(i) Small estates
If the shareholder has died without leaving a Will, the value of the
shareholding is less than £5,000 and the value of the estate is less than
£20,000 in total, then the small estates procedure may be appropriate. This is a
special arrangement where grant of probate is not being obtained, which is
designed to make the registration of death and transfer of shares to the next of
kin easier. However, there are some formalities and a declaration and indemnity
form will need to be completed. The indemnity is required because Parkwood may
incur liabilities if it does not insist upon a full legal process being followed
i.e. the next of kin obtaining a full grant of probate. Please contact the
Company Secretary for further information.
(ii) Large Estates
In order to enable us to recognise you as executor to an estate you will need to
send us a Court sealed office copy of the grant of probate together with the
completed forms and all of the share certificates representing the deceased
shareholder. We will register the probate and return the Court sealed office
copy of the grant of probate to you together with the endorsed share
certificate(s).
The same procedure is required if you have been appointed as an Administrator to
an estate, but in this case you will need to send us a Court sealed office copy
of the grant of letters of administration.
