Shareholder Statistics
We have a large shareholder base of around 1.1 million, mainly resulting from the complex nature of the privatisation of the UK electricity and gas industries. Of these, approximately 88% own 500 or fewer share, down from 91% in 2009/10.
Employee share ownership of the Company is facilitated among UK employees by the operation of both the Sharesave scheme and share incentive plans. In the US, employees are able to invest in the Company through employee incentive thrift plans.
