g) Disposals - impact on operating profit
The Group's operating profit in 2001 and 2000 from ongoing business excludes
the result from the United States general insurance business and London Market
operations. All other disposals and businesses in the process of being sold
are not considered sufficiently material to merit separate disclosure in the
Group results or do not meet the Financial Reporting Standard 3, 'Reporting
Financial Performance', definition of discontinued business. A summary of the
contribution to the Group's operating profit from these operations is as
follows:

Dividend reinvestment plan
Shareholders are offered the opportunity to participate in the Company's
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the 'Plan') which enables dividends to be
reinvested in the Company's shares at reduced dealing costs.
Shareholders who have previously elected to join the Plan need take no further
action as their cash dividend will automatically be used to purchase CGNU's
shares, on or around the dividend payment date, in accordance with the terms
of the Plan.
Shareholders who have not already joined the Plan and wish to do so should
contact the Company's Registrar, at the address below, in order to obtain full
details and a mandate form. Completed mandate forms must be returned to the
Registrar by no later than 26 October 2001 in order to participate in the Plan
for the 2001 interim dividend.
The Plan is available to ordinary shareholders, members of the CGNU Share
Account and members of the Group's employee profit sharing schemes.
Interim report and accounts
In an effort to minimise waste and eliminate unnecessary cost, the Company has
decided not to mail interim reports automatically to all shareholders each
year. However, shareholders who would like a copy of the report, now and in
future years, should contact the Company's Registrar at the address below.
Shareholder enquiries
Shareholders who have any administrative enquiries about their shareholding in
