2. I have lost my Rathbone Brothers share certificate - what should I do?
If you lose your share certificate(s) or it has been stolen, you should inform Equiniti immediately on 0870 601 5366.
Equiniti will then send you a letter of indemnity. By signing and returning this letter to them, you are confirming that if the lost share certificate subsequently comes to light, you will return it to Lloyds to be cancelled. You are also required to guarantee that Rathbone Brothers Plc will not be liable for any loss as a result of issuing the duplicate certificate.
The indemnity must be guaranteed by a UK bank or an insurance company. Equiniti can also arrange this for you. Generally, the charge for this guarantee will depend on the value of the shares.
3. My address has changed - what should I do?

Stamp duty maybe payable depending on the type of transfer. As a general rule, if no money is changing hands, then the transfer is not liable for stamp duty. In this instance, the exempt stamp duty category must be completed. To see whether your transaction is exempt or liable for stamp duty, please refer to page two of the stock transfer form, or obtain professional advice.

10. A Rathbone Brothers Plc shareholder has died - who should I inform?
If you are administering an estate, you may need to transfer the shares into the names of beneficiaries or sell the holding. In any case, the first step is to write to Equiniti to let them know the details of the deceased shareholder and what you intend to do. They will then send you the forms you need to complete and will retain any future dividend payments in the meantime.
