Additional Shareholder question

During the meeting questions were submitted by shareholders and responses to these questions were

provided by José Parés (Chairman of the Board) and Russel Creedy (Group CEO). The following further

question was submitted by a shareholder after the Chairman had declared the meeting closed and so was

not able to be addressed during the meeting:


Question: Can you provide guidance on future dividends?


Response: The Board will consider whether to pay a dividend, and the amount and timing of any such

dividend, in respect of each relevant financial year having regard to all relevant factors, including financial

performance, cash flow, capital requirements and the availability of imputation credits. As discussed during

the Chairman’s address and the shareholder question segment of the meeting, the Board of Directors

considered that it would be prudent to not declare a dividend for FY19, given the capital expenditure required

to complete the proposed US investment and current uncertainty of the potential economic impact of the

COVID-19 outbreak on the markets where we operate. As there continues to be considerable uncertainty as

to COVID-19 situation and the impact that it will have on our business, the Board is not in a position to

provide guidance on future dividends at this time.
