Question Answer
2A.1 *Type of dividend/distribution
Each form can only relate to one record date and
payment date but may have multiple types of payment
for example an ordinary and special dividend. Please
note that dividends/distributions on units in listed
trusts, units in quoted ETFs or Managed Funds, and
preference securities are classified as “Ordinary”.
☒ Ordinary (must be cash) Please complete Part
3A.
☐ Special (must be cash) Please complete Part
3B.
☐ Scrip (must be scrip) Please complete Part 3C.

2A.2 *The dividend/distribution:
Tick one only to indicate length of period to which the
dividend/distribution applies. ASX’s system classifies
interim/final dividends/distributions as six monthly if
both are paid. If a final only is paid it is classified as
relating to a period of twelve months. Where a scrip
or special dividend/distribution is paid at the same
time as an ordinary dividend/distribution it has the
same period classification as the ordinary.
If the dividend/distribution is special and/or scrip only
then “does not relate to a specific period within the
financial year in which it was paid” may be applicable.
☐ relates to a period of one month.
☐ relates to a period of one quarter.
☒ relates to a period of six months.
☐ relates to a period of twelve months.
☐ does not relate to a specific period within
the financial year in which it was paid.
2A.3
*The dividend/distribution relates to the
financial reporting or payment period
ended/ending (date)
The period ended date must match the end date of
the reporting period of any Appendix 4D, 4E or 4F
lodged by the entity at the same time as this form and
which includes the details of the dividend/distribution
announced in this form. For dividends/distributions on
units in listed trusts, units in quoted ETFs or Managed
Funds, and preference securities, the period
ended/ending date may correspond to the payment
date and may be a future date. If a special or scrip
dividend/distribution is notified at the same time as
another dividend/distribution which relates to a period
of one month, one quarter, six months or twelve
months then the special or scrip dividend/distribution
will be characterised with the same period type and
will have the same period ended as that
dividend/distribution. If the dividend/distribution is
special and/or scrip only and “does not relate to a
specific period within the financial year in which it was
paid” has been ticked in Q2A.2, then a period ended
date may not be applicable.
