This is a unique 11-digit number. It can be found either on your share certificate or on your tax voucher (which is sent to you on the dividend payment date twice a year).

What happens if I lose my share certificate?
If your share certificate is lost or stolen you must inform Capita, the Company Registrar, immediately. They will ensure that a marker is put on your shareholding to prevent fraudulent use of your share certificate and will issue a replacement certificate once you have completed a letter of indemnity. There may be a charge for this service. This will depend on the value of the shares represented by the lost certificate.
Is there a reason why I have two account numbers and/or receive more than one copy of the Annual Report or multiple dividend cheques?
This may have occurred because when buying more Morgan Crucible shares, the name and address you supplied to the Registrar was in some way different to the details that were previously listed on the register. As a result your later share purchase was recorded on another account. To amalgamate the accounts you should contact the Registrar. There is no charge for this service.
