Dematerialisation
An important change took place on 1 January 2025 which impacts all shareholders holding Irish securities in public limited companies whose shares are traded on an EU or UK Market in certificated form.
Effective from 1 January 2025, share certificates for Glanbia plc will no longer be issued or valid as evidence of title. Entries on the shareholder register are now recorded electronically by book entry record – a process known as Dematerialisation. Glanbia's share registrar, Computershare Investor Services (Ireland) Limited, manage this process.
For the avoidance of doubt, whilst paper share certificates are no longer valid, there is no change to the number of shares which a shareholder holds.
To evidence share ownership, shareholders will require a Statement of Holding. Shareholders with internet access can check their balance or download a Statement of Holding (as required) on the records of the registrar at any time by logging into Computershare’s investor platform via www.investorcentre.com/ie. If a shareholder does not yet have access to the above platform, it is recommended to take steps to sign up now. Shareholders who are unable to access Investor Centre can contact Computershare to obtain a confirmation of their up-to-date balance.
