* Based on an exchange rate at 31 December 2013 of NZ$1.00 to US$0.82110 and a ratio of five ordinary shares per one American Depositary Share.

The dividend will be imputed at 75% of the corporate tax rate, and a supplementary dividend of 1.0588 cps, will be paid to those shareholders who are not tax resident in New Zealand.
A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is available for holders whose shares are registered on the NZ and Australian stock exchanges. The strike price for the DRP is calculated as the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) over the five business days commencing the NZX ex date. Management does not intend to buy-back on market an approximately equivalent number of shares issued under the Plan. |
