Share Option Promotion
Our Share Option Promotion gives every Distributor the opportunity to own a part of Telecom plus PLC, and to benefit personally from our growing success.
In general terms: share options give you the right to buy shares in the company at a price that is fixed on the date when the options are issued. You have to wait at least three years before buying the shares, and then, assuming that they have increased in value over that time (and our share price has increased by about 250% over the last three years), you can:
1. buy them at the original price;
2. sell them at the higher price; and
3. keep the profit!*
Our current promotion started on 1 October 2008, and lasts until 31 March 2010. We have allocated a minimum of 200,000 share options for this promotion, and we will increase that number to a maximum of 400,000 options, in line with the growth in our customer base: ie. if our customer base increases by 50% over the period of the promotion, we will increase the number of options available by 50%, to 300,000.
This means that there are large numbers of options waiting to be awarded, and potentially very large sums of money to be earned by Distributors.
We will allocate share options according to a points system, based on Distributor activity during the promotion period. At the end of the promotion, we will be awarding all the available share options in proportion to the number of points Distributors have earned. So, for example, if Distributor A earns 10% of the total number of points during the promotion, he/she will be awarded 10% of the available share options.
So the message is simple - points mean options!
How do you earn points?
You earn points for each type of service supplied to customers gathered during the promotion, as follows:
What is Internet Phone Line?
Internet Phone Line is an extra phone line with two important differences:
Firstly, it costs just £2 line rental per month; that’s over 80% cheaper than an extra line from BT.
And secondly, the phone number on this extra line is completely portable, and can be used for making and receiving phone calls anywhere in the world!
It costs nothing to receive a call, and any calls you make are charged on our normal Home Phone/BroadCall (including “Free Global Calls”) or Office Phone tariffs. All you need to benefit from this service is a broadband connection – which doesn’t even need to be supplied by us.
So what types of customer will benefit from this service?
People who need an extra phone line at home
Businesses that need an extra phone line(s) in the office
Anyone who regularly travels overseas, either for business or on holiday
Businesses with lots of home workers
Business people who are based away from the office for a while
Because the Internet Phone Line uses the internet to carry your calls, you can use it anywhere there is a fixed broadband connection point – including many hotel rooms and holiday homes abroad.
And the above are just a few examples to get your imagination going - there are plenty of other people who will also benefit from an Internet Phone Line!
How does it work?
There’s no engineer visit involved, no software to install, no headset to wear, no extra hassle - just a little adaptor that you plug into your broadband router (and it must be a router), and you’re away!
You plug the phone into the adaptor; the adaptor into the router; the router into the broadband socket. And that’s it.
What about the quality?
The internet phone line is at least as clear, if not clearer, than a regular phone line; particularly from many overseas destinations.
How much does it cost?
Each Internet Phone Line costs just £2 per month (customers can have up to two extra lines if they wish, business customers can have as many as they require).
There is a one-off initial connection charge of £50, whether the customer chooses one line or two. This is much cheaper to install than a new standard phone line - and is a very strong selling point, especially for businesses.
For residential customers, calls are charged on our Home Phone/BroadCall tariff, and customers benefit from “Free Global Calls” in the usual way. Business customers will be charged for any calls at our low Office Phone rates.
Do customers have to be taking their broadband and landline from the Utility Warehouse?
No! Remember - it works with any broadband connection, so your customer can be in a contract with someone else for their broadband (like Sky), or they can have their landline with someone else. It makes no difference - they can still benefit from an Internet Phone Line and "Free Global Calls" with us.

Telecom plus PLC (the 'Company')
Year End Trading Update
Telecom plus PLC (trading as the Utility Warehouse), which supplies a wide range of utility services (gas, electricity, fixed line telephony, mobile telephony and broadband internet) to both residential and business customers, today issues a trading update for its financial year ending 31 March 2009.
The last quarter of the current financial year, which ends today, has seen a continuation of the positive trends referred to in our Interim Management Statement for the third quarter to 31 December 2008, which was issued on 17 February 2009.
Record numbers of new distributors are joining the business, which is in turn driving a record number of new customer applications. Distributor confidence, already at a high level, has been further boosted by recent additional endorsements in Which? magazine and our recognition as Company of the Year at the recent PLC awards dinner. We now have over 26,800 distributors, representing an increase of around 3,100 during the last three months.
We added more than 66,000 net new services during the final quarter taking the total to over 789,000. This is a further improvement on the previous quarter, which was in itself a record, and represents an annualised growth rate of more than 36%. Customer numbers have increased to almost 280,000, an increase of around 63,000 during the year.
We remain on target to report record pre-tax profits for the year ended 31 March 2009, despite absorbing rising growth related costs. As expected we have seen a substantial seasonal cash outflow during this quarter, mainly due to the impact of customers paying by budget plan during what has been an exceptionally cold winter. Year end net cash is nonetheless expected to be in excess of £20m.
We plan to issue our full year results on 20 May 2009.
There are lots of football and rugby clubs involved in this fundraising scheme, including the following;
Bury FC, Carlisle Utd, Cheltenham Town, Chorley, Bradford Park Avenue, Crewe Alexandra, Dundee FC, Kettering Town, Lincoln City, Norwich City, Plymouth Argyle, Northwich Victoria FC, FC Halifax Town, Bradford Bulls RLFC.
