DIVIDEND INVESTMENT PLAN

You can elect to invest your dividends by joining the BT Group plc Dividend investment plan (Plan) provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited.

The Plan allows shareholders to invest their cash dividends to purchase additional BT Group plc shares. Dividends paid to participants in this plan are pooled and the total amount used to purchase shares, so that a charge of only 1.5% of the amount reinvested (minimum charge of £2.50) plus stamp reserve tax duty at 0.5%, is made, allowing a low-cost way of topping up your holding of BT Group plc shares. The price paid for the shares will be known only after shares have been purchased, a few days after the dividend payment date, and will be posted here when known.

You can apply to join the Plan online via your Shareview Portfolio, by selecting Dividend Election next to your BT Group Shares and following the online instructions.

You should read the Plan Terms and Conditions before applying as these form the basis on which the service will be provided to you. You can download the latest Plan Terms and Conditions and selecting ‘BT’ from the ‘Company’ drop down list. You can also download a paper application form if required.

Important:

• Applications must be received by EQ by the close of election date for the next dividend. After that date applications will only apply to subsequent dividends. The dates are published when each dividend is announced.
• If you revoke your Plan election or the Plan is not offered for a particular dividend, and you haven’t provided valid bank or building society account details, your dividend payment will not be issued to you until your bank details are received and a fee may apply.
