IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DIVIDEND PAYMENTS
Tabcorp has streamlined the way in which dividends are paid to shareholders. Payments to shareholders with a registered address in Australia will only be made:
- by Direct Credit into a nominated account with an Australian financial institution; or
- through reinvestment in the company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP).
You can add your bank account details using the on-line Share Registry Login Facility.
Alternatively, you can complete either a:
Direct credit and dividend reinvestment are quick, convenient and secure ways of receiving your dividend entitlements, providing benefits such as:
- payments are electronically credited and DRP shares allocated to your shareholding on payment date, without any mailing or handling delays;
- no unpresented or misplaced cheques;
- reduces likelihood of mail fraud;
- you will continue to receive a dividend statement through the mail or electronically; and
- if participating in the DRP, you increase your share portfolio without any brokerage costs.

Small Shareholder Program 2010 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tabcorp announced on 21 April 2010 a program that provided eligible small shareholders the opportunity to retain, or sell or top-up their shareholding without incurring any brokerage or handling costs.
This program was conducted in accordance with Tabcorp's Constitution and the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules that enables all listed companies to sell unmarketable shareholdings less than $500 in value, which otherwise may be difficult or expensive for shareholders to dispose of.
Participation in the program was open to eligible shareholders who, at 7.00pm (AEST) on 16 April 2010 (Record Date), were holders of fully paid ordinary shares in Tabcorp (Tabcorp Shares) valued at less than $500 (Unmarketable Parcel) and whose registered address was in Australia or New Zealand (the Program).
Based on a price of $6.99 per Tabcorp Share, being the closing price of Tabcorp Shares on the Australian Securities Exchange on the Record Date, an Unmarketable Parcel was any holding of 71 Tabcorp Shares or less.
This Program closed at 5.00pm (AEST) on 4 June 2010 (Closing Date).
On 22 April 2010, eligible shareholders were sent a letter together with a Share Retention Form, Top-Up Application Form and Terms and Conditions.
Eligible shareholders had the following options:
1. Sell their shareholding
Shareholders who wished to dispose of their Tabcorp Shares without incurring any brokerage or handling costs did not need to do anything.
2. Top-up their shareholding
Shareholders who wished to acquire additional Tabcorp Shares without incurring any brokerage or handling costs must have provided payment of $500 in accordance with the instructions on the Top-Up Application Form.
3. Retain their shareholding
Shareholders who wished to retain their Tabcorp Shares must have returned a Share Retention Form or made their own arrangements to increase their shareholding to at least $500 by the Closing Date.
Sale Facility
All participants who had their Tabcorp Shares sold under this Program received the same average price of $6.5168 per Tabcorp Share, which was calculated by dividing the total proceeds from the sale of all Tabcorp Shares sold under this Program for all participating holders by the total number of Tabcorp Shares sold under this Program. Sales were conducted on market from 8 June 2010 to 11 June 2010.
Payments were made on 18 June 2010 using the direct credit payment details recorded for participating shareholdings. Where direct credit payments could not be processed, then payment was made by cheque and mailed on 23 June 2010.
Shareholder can update their direct credit instructions or registered address using the online shareholder facility or contacting Link Market Services Lilmited (Link) on 1300 665 661.
Top-up facility
The number of Tabcorp Shares which participants received under the top-up facility of this Program was calculated by dividing $500 by the average price of Tabcorp Shares acquired, rounded down to the nearest whole number. Purchases were conducted on market on 16 June 2010.
For any questions, please contact Link Market Services Limited on 1300 665 661.
