Our first 100,000 customers will be given the option to receive fully paid up shares

there are a great deal of legal conditions that we have to tell you about.

Frequently asked questions
We do get asked questions about our share ownership scheme, so we have included
some of the frequently asked ones here.
Why are you giving away half your company to customers?
Good question, and when we started the business our advisors thought we were mad.
But we felt that customers who became shareholders would feel part of the business.
They would feel involved could make their views known and help us to grow. Much
better than being a customer of a faceless multinational utility.
What are the benefits of owning shares in Green Energy (UK) plc?
Owning shares means you can attend the AGM, get regular reviews on how we are doing
financially and feel part of an environmentally sound business.
Am I entitled to a dividend?
We are not yet paying dividends, but the balance sheet has improved year on year
and we look forward to a time when distributable reserves will be available.
How can I get more shares?
Every customer that joins us is entitled to 400 shares. To receive more shares you
could become a green energy uk ambassador and earn up to 1000 extra shares. We will
allocate you these extra shares if five or more of your friends or family switch
their electricity to green energy uk. To recommend a friend, please

Do I have a responsibility as a shareholder?
If by that you mean liability, no! Your shares are fully paid up. Would we like
you to feel responsible for helping us grow by recommending us to your friends?
Yes please!
Can I sell my shares?
The shares are currently not tradable, although you can transfer your shares to
another person as a gift. To do so, email us on help@greenenergyuk.com
Do I lose my shares if I move house?
If you become a customer at your new house then you keep your shares and we update
our share register with your new address. Click here to let us know if you are moving
house.
Do I lose my shares if I switch to another electricity provider?
If you remain a green energy uk customer for three years, the shares are yours. If you leave us
before then, the shares don’t vest with you. One of the conditions of acceptance
is that if you leave within three years we can buy back your whole holding for 1p
and you waive the right to that 1p. Sounds complicated but it’s the correct, legal
way to handle it.
