DUBLIN - Experian (OTC:EXPGF) plc, the global data and technology firm, has issued a reminder to its shareholders regarding the upcoming first interim dividend. Shareholders are informed that the deadline to submit their elections for receiving the dividend through UK sourced Income Access Share arrangements or in US dollars is January 10, 2025.
The first interim dividend, announced on November 13, 2024, is set at 19.25 US cents per ordinary share and will be payable on February 7, 2025. To be eligible for this dividend, shareholders must be registered by the close of business on January 10, 2025.
In the absence of a new election, shareholders' previous choices or deemed elections will apply. Those who have not elected to receive UK sourced dividends via the Income Access Share arrangements will receive Irish sourced dividends, which are subject to Irish withholding tax. To avoid this withholding tax, shareholders must provide a valid exemption form to the Company's share registrars by 5:30 pm on January 10, 2025.
For shareholders preferring to receive their dividends in US dollars rather than sterling, an election must be made by the aforementioned deadline. The exchange rate for converting dividends to sterling will be determined on January 17, 2025. Instructions for uncertificated shareholders holding shares via CREST must follow the established dividend election procedure. Certificated shareholders are required to complete and return the election form available on Experian's shareholder portal or directly from the share registrars.
