Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)
The Perpetual Board has determined that in relation to the 2013 interim dividend the DRP, will operate as follows:
- The allocation price at which shares are allocated will not include a discount:
- The pricing period for setting the Average Market Price will be the 10 trading days commencing 14 March 2013 and ending 27 March 2013; and
- Shares allocated under the DRP will, from the date of Allocation, rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.
The DRP discount and other terms are reviewed prior to each dividend payment and the DRP terms that will apply to future dividends will be announced to the ASX at the relevant times.
The DRP terms that apply to the dividend, and a complete copy of the DRP Rules, can be found within the Shareholder Centre section of Perpetual's website at http://shareholders.perpetual.com.au and select Shareholder services.
