Payment of this interim dividend is consistent with the Company's target dividend payment of at least 5.5% p.a. by reference to the Issue Price as set out in the Company's Prospectus dated 6 December 2011.

A scrip alternative is being offered with this dividend to those investors who wish to receive additional BBGI securities in lieu of a cash payment.  A circular will be sent to shareholders explaining the terms of the scrip dividend alternative. It is intended that the circular together with scrip dividend election forms will be mailed on or about 14 September 2012 to all eligible BBGI shareholders on the register as at the dividend record date, being 7 September 2012. The scrip dividend elections will need to be received as instructed by 28 September 2012 from those investors holding depository interests who wish to receive depository interests representing shares in lieu of cash.  Full details of how and when to respond will be contained in the circular.

Distributions on the ordinary shares are planned to be paid twice a year, normally in respect of the six months to 30 June and 31 December. Subject to market conditions and to conditions as prescribed by Luxembourg law, it is intended that distributions will be paid as annual dividends shortly after the AGM at the end of April and as interim dividends in the October of each year.

Note: The distribution guidance above is a target only and not a profit forecast. There can be no assurance that this target will be met or that the Company will make any distributions whatsoever.  The times and dates in this announcement are expected times and dates only and are subject to change. Any such changes will be notified to shareholders through a Regulatory Information Service.
