YOUR SAVE AS YOU EARN ‘SAYE’ 2016 OPTIONS
WILL MATURE ON 1ST NOVEMBER 2019*
THE SAYE 2016 OPTION PRICE IS £5.63
Dear Colleague,
In this guide you’ll find everything you need to know about your maturing
SAYE account, the choices available to you and how to send your
instruction to YBS Share Plans.
You will need to tell us what you’d like to do with the savings in your account
and your choices are as follows:

• Buy Inchcape shares at the applicable Option Price
  (quoted above) to either keep or sell; or

• Not buy shares and simply request a refund of your savings

You don’t have to make your choice straight away, you’ll have six months
from the Maturity Date, after which time your Option to buy shares at the
fixed Option Price will lapse.
*If you have missed any payments, your maturity date will be deferred by the
number of months you have missed and the maturity date shown will reflect this.
HOW DO I CHOOSE?
You will need to make your choice by logging         For your convenience, a maturity share dealing service is being

 3      Take a refund of the savings in your SAYE account and not buy any shares at the fixed Option Price

You don’t have to purchase Inchcape shares. If you prefer,
you can simply request a refund of your savings, which will be
paid into the bank account your salary is paid. You will have
no Income Tax or National Insurance Contributions to pay.
For this choice only, simply call the YBS Share Plans Helpline on
0345 1 200 300 and close your account over the phone.
If you choose to close your account and take back your
savings, you still retain the right to purchase shares at the fixed
Option Price during the six months immediately following your
Maturity Date. If you decide to follow this course of action
you’ll need to call the YBS Share Plans Helpline to make the
necessary arrangements.

                                                                                                     ...CONTINUED
Residual Balance
If you decide to buy the shares there will often be a
small cash residue remaining in your SAYE account.
This is because it’s very unlikely that your savings will
divide exactly by the fixed Option Price.
You can choose to donate your cash residue to
charity (no greater than the value of one more share
at the fixed Option Price) or receive a refund of the
residue when providing your instructions. If you would
like to donate this money to charity (Macmillan
Cancer Support), please tick the appropriate box
when providing your online instruction. To find out
more about the work of Macmillan please visit

FURTHER INFORMATION
Dealing Restrictions
If you have been notified by Inchcape that you are subject to share dealing rules, you
must comply with the requirements imposed by the Company and, if applicable, seek
clearance before proceeding with any transaction. All staff are subject to the law regarding
market abuse e.g. dealing when in possession of inside information.

Missed any payments or leaving the Company?
If you’ve missed any payments during the savings period (up to a maximum of twelve) your
Maturity Date will be deferred by one month for every payment that you’ve missed and
you’ll continue to have deductions taken from your pay until you’ve completed the three
year savings contract. In these circumstances you’ll have six months from the deferred
Maturity Date (shown on your online account information), in which to exercise your Option
and buy your shares. Any instructions received in respect of a deferred maturity will be
processed at the first available opportunity following your deferred Maturity Date.
If you’re no longer an employee of Inchcape or leave after the Maturity Date but before
you’ve bought your shares, you may not be able to buy your shares. This will depend
on your reason for leaving and the date on which you left. If you’re in any doubt about
whether you can buy any shares please contact the YBS Share Plans Helpline on
0345 1 200 300. If you’re able to buy shares, you must do so within six months of leaving
Inchcape or within six months of the Maturity Date, whichever event comes first.

                                                                                               ...CONTINUED
What about tax?
Under current legislation there is no Income Tax to pay as a result of buying your shares
or taking your savings. You may however have to pay CGT if you sell your shares at a
profit (this is the difference between the cost of buying your shares and the price you
sell them for minus any sale expenses). HM Revenue & Customs currently allows you to
make a certain level of capital gains in each tax year without being taxed. If your gain
(which must include any other profit you have made within the tax year) exceeds the
annual exemption limit, you will have to pay tax on any gain above this limit.
The CGT limit for the 2019/2020 tax year is £12,000.
Further information can be found on the HM Revenue & Customs website (www.hmrc.
gov.uk).
If your total capital gains exceed the annual exemption amount in any single tax year,
they should be reported to HM Revenue & Customs, whether you receive a tax return
or not. You may however be able to minimise your liability to CGT by; selling some
of your shares in one tax year and the rest in other tax years, by giving some of your
shares to your spouse or civil partner for them to sell and set against their annual CGT
exemption, or by transferring shares into a Stocks and Shares ISA (subject to applicable
limits) within 90 days of the date your share Option was exercised. The sale of shares
within an ISA is free of CGT. For the 2019/20 tax year the maximum value of shares
you can transfer into a Stock and Shares ISA is £20,000 (this limit may change for the
2020/21 tax year).
The value of the shares will be based on the market value on the date the shares are
transferred into the ISA.
