  You now need to choose what you would like to do with
  your savings:

  Take your savings as cash and not buy any shares.

  Buy your Kier Shares at £11.47 per share and receive a share
  certificate.
  At the time of writing this, the current open market Share Price
  for Kier Group plc is significantly lower than the Fixed Option
  Price at which you are able to purchase shares.
Your Sharesave Maturity (continued...)

You do not have to decide if you want
to buy your Kier shares straight away,
you have until 22 May 2019 to return
your Maturity Instruction Form to
YBS Share Plans in order to buy your
shares before your options lapse on
1 June 2019.
Share prices can fall as well as rise,
therefore, you should check the price
of Kier shares just before deciding
whether or not to buy the shares.
Past share price performance is not
necessarily an indication of future
performance.
Once you have decided what you want
to do, please refer to the “My Choices”
section for details about how to provide
your instructions to YBS Share Plans.

As a shareholder in Kier, you will be entitled to attend and vote at the
Company’s general meetings, of which you will be given advance notice,
and you can expect to receive dividends. Kier usually pays dividends to
shareholders twice a year. Dividends received over £2,000 are taxable and
you will need to declare them on your tax return. Dividends are not guaranteed
and share prices can fall as well as rise.

  Important information
  In the event that YBS Share Plans receive your instructions to purchase shares and the Kier Group share price is lower
  than the Option Price at the time of closure, then YBS Share Plans reserve the right to cancel your instruction, close
  your Sharesave account and return your savings to you. In these circumstances your option to buy Kier shares remains
  exercisable for a period of six months following your maturity date. If the Kier Group share price subsequently rises
  above the Option Price during this six month period please call the YBS Share Plans Helpline for more information.

FAQs (continued...)

What about Tax?
Under current legislation, you may be liable to pay Capital
Gains Tax if you sell the shares acquired after exercising
your option and any profit you may make, when added to
other capital gains you may make in the relevant tax year,
exceeds the annual exemption (£11,700 for 2018/2019).
Your profit on selling shares is calculated as the difference
between the sale proceeds of the shares and the amount
paid for the number of shares sold. In this case, it would
be the difference between the Option Price and the selling
price for each share sold, less sale expenses. If your total
capital gains exceed the annual exemption they should
be reported to HM Revenue and Customs, whether you
receive a tax return or not.
