How do I take advantage of the DRIP Commission Contribution?

If you currently reinvest your dividends on shares held in the Shareholder Account you need take no further action – the DRIP commission contribution will automatically be applied to your next dividend.

What is the DRIP Commission Contribution?*

Lloyds Banking Group plc are trialling the offer of a contribution towards the commission paid by you if you participate in the Dividend Re-Investment Plan (DRIP). The contribution made by the Company will be up to a maximum of £5 per participant per annum. Your shares must be held in the Shareholder Account to be eligible and you must elect to participate in the DRIP.

*The DRIP is not available on Preference Shares held in the Shareholder Account.
