EasyShare, is a Corporate Sponsored Nominee (CSN), a nominee service sponsored by BT Group plc and provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited, and is an easy way to hold BT Group shares electronically. As you don’t hold a share certificate(s), there is no risk of losing it. You must be aged 18 or over and resident in the UK, European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands or Gibraltar in order to participate in EasyShare.

If your shares are held in EasyShare, you will have similar rights and benefits as other BT Group shareholders.
