ANZ paid a fully franked 2008 Interim Dividend of 62 cents per ordinary share on 1 July 2008.
ANZ offers both a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) and a Bonus Option Plan (BOP) as alternatives to receiving cash dividends.
The Acquisition Price that was used for the purpose of calculating the number of shares to be issued under the DRP and BOP for the 2008 Interim Dividend was AUD 20.82.
The balance of the 2008 Interim Dividend not reinvested by shareholders in the DRP or foregone by shareholders under the BOP was fully underwritten.
In connection with the underwriting of the 2008 Interim Dividend, a number of changes were made to the DRP and BOP terms and conditions, some to ensure consistency with the terms of the underwriting agreement.
Details of all the changes to the DRP and BOP terms and conditions are set out in the announcement attached at the bottom of this page.
ANZ has a policy that all dividends payable to shareholders in Australia, New Zealand or Great Britain will be paid by direct credit to their nominated financial institution account (excluding credit card accounts).
For those shareholders who received payment of the 2008 Interim Dividend in New Zealand Dollars or Great Britain Pounds Sterling, the exchange rates that were used were AUD/NZD 1.237301 and AUD/GBP 0.482981 respectively.
Dividend Donations to Charity
ANZ offers a Dividend Charity Donation Program, enabling ANZ shareholders who are Australian resident taxpayers to donate some or all of their ANZ cash dividends to one of a number of charities.
