Please note: This postal share dealing service is designed for shareholders with a UK registered address although it may be used by shareholders within the European Economic Area (EEA). All deals will be transacted in Great British Pounds and all sales proceeds will be issued by cheque to the registered address.

If your registered address is not within the UK or EEA, you will need to contact a local bank or stockbroker. Any instructions received outside of the UK or EEA will not be actioned and will be returned to you.

If you hold shares in BT Group plc EasyShare and are an EEA resident (excluding UK residents), we offer a postal share dealing service that enables you to have your net sales proceeds paid directly to your bank account in your local currency. Full details of the service, the fees payable and the Terms and Conditions can be found on the form.

The fee is 1.9% of the transaction value with a minimum of £70 and will be deducted from the sale proceeds/investment amount.

A typical timeline for our Postal Share Dealing service (please note - this is only an approximation of timings):

• Day 1: Postal Share Dealing form received into the business and application processed.
• Day 2: Shares are traded the next business day after receipt into the business.
• Day 4: You will be sent either a sale advice and cheque or purchase advice.
• Within 3 weeks of the transaction: If you are buying shares, share certificates will be sent to the first named holder at the registered address.

If the sole shareholder or one of the joint shareholders has died, the death must be formally registered before using the Postal Share Dealing service to sell shares. This can be done at the same time as submitting the Postal Share Dealing Form, with a £50 fee deducted from the sale proceeds. Full details are provided in the "Essential Information" section of the Postal Share Dealing Form. You can avoid this additional charge by registering the death before submitting your sale instruction. For full details on how to register the death of a shareholder, please see our bereavement support pages.

Once the shares have been transferred to the beneficiary, shares can also be traded via our Shareview Dealing service.

You may be able to sell your shares even if you can't find your share certificate(s) as long as the value of the missing certificate(s) is below £5000 and you are selling your entire holding. A Lost Share Certificate fee of £60 will be deducted from the sale proceeds. Full details can be found in the 'Essential Information' section of the Postal Share Dealing Form.

If your personal details need updating on your shareholding, e.g. change of address, change of name etc. we can do this without any delay to your sale or purchase. Full details of the updates available using this service and the documentation required can be found in the 'Essential Information' section of the Postal Share Dealing Form. An additional fee of £50 will be deducted from your sale proceeds or investment amount. This additional charge can be avoided if you update your details before submitting your sale or purchase instruction.

Please note: If you use both the Lost Share Certificate service and the register update service, you will only be charged one amount of £60 in addition to the dealing fees.
