- Part 3: For the preceding part double click  ID:nRSW9423Zb 

following transactions with directors within the
Hargreaves Lansdown Group and related parties who are not members of the
Group: 
 
During the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 the Company has been
party to a lease with P K Hargreaves, a director until 14 April 2015, for
rental of the old head office premises at Kendal House. A ten-year lease was
signed on 6 April 2011 for a rental of part of the building, to be used for
disaster recovery purposes at a market rate rent of £105,000 per annum. No
amount was outstanding at either year-end. 
 
During the year the Company settled certain personal expenses on behalf of one
director, all of which were subject to subsequent reimbursement from the
director.  At the year end the amount outstanding was £nil (2014: £4,999). 
 
On 7 November 2014, the Group agreed to purchase 30 shares in its subsidiary,
Library Information Services Ltd (LIS), in an arm's length transaction;
increasing the Group's share-holding from 75% to 78%.  The shares were
purchased from Stuart Louden the founder director of LIS and currently the
only other shareholder, who is an employee of Hargreaves Lansdown Asset
Management Limited. The price paid per share was £35,405. There is no readily
available market for these shares and hence a valuation was arrived at based
on a multiple of operating profit. The directors of Hargreaves Lansdown plc
deemed this to be a fair price in the circumstances. The total amount paid was
£1,062,150 and this was settled in cash on 17 December 2014. 
 
During the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 the Group has provided a
range of investment services in the normal course of business to shareholders
on normal third party business terms. Directors and staff are eligible for a
slight discount on some of the services provided.

are disclosed below.  Details of transactions between the Company and other
related parties are also disclosed below. 
 
Trading transactions 
 
The Company entered into the following transactions with directors within the
Hargreaves Lansdown Group and related parties who are not members of the
Group: 
 
During the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 the Company has been
party to a lease with P K Hargreaves, a director until 14 April 2015, for
rental of the old head office premises at Kendal House. A ten-year lease was
signed on 6 April 2011 for a rental of part of the building, to be used for
disaster recovery purposes at a market rate rent of £105,000 per annum. No
amount was outstanding at either year-end. 
 
During the year the Company settled certain personal expenses on behalf of one
director, all of which were subject to subsequent reimbursement from the
director.  At the year end the amount outstanding was £nil (2014: £4,999). 
 
On 7 November 2014, the Group agreed to purchase 30 shares in its subsidiary,
Library Information Services Ltd (LIS), in an arm's length transaction;
increasing the Group's share-holding from 75% to 78%.  The shares were
purchased from Stuart Louden the founder director of LIS and currently the
only other shareholder, who is an employee of Hargreaves Lansdown Asset
Management Limited. The price paid per share was £35,405. There is no readily
available market for these shares and hence a valuation was arrived at based
on a multiple of operating profit. The directors of Hargreaves Lansdown plc
deemed this to be a fair price in the circumstances. The total amount paid was
£1,062,150 and this was settled in cash on 17 December 2014. 
 
During the years ended 30 June 2015 and 30 June 2014 the Group has provided a
