Reading, United Kingdom (12 September 2019)
On 31 July 2019 ConvaTec Group Plc ("ConvaTec" or "the Company") declared an interim dividend of 1.717 cents per share (the "interim dividend"). This interim dividend is to be paid on 17 October 2019 to shareholders on the share register as at 6 September 2019 ("record date"). The dividend is payable in cash in sterling to holders of ordinary shares, the chosen exchange rate for this payment is $1.223/£1.00, determined on 31 July 2019, giving a total sterling dividend of £27,760,563. On 1 August 2019 the Company announced that a scrip dividend will be made available for this interim dividend allowing shareholders to elect to receive their dividend in the form of new ordinary shares.
The "Calculation Price" for the issue of new ordinary shares under the scrip dividend scheme is:
174.45 pence for each new ordinary share.
This is equivalent to 1 new share for approximately 124.26 shares held prior to the ex-dividend date of 5 September 2019.
The Calculation Price is the average of the middle market quotations of a ConvaTec share, derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List, for the five consecutive business days from 5 September to 11 September 2019 (inclusive).
The latest date for receipt of elections to participate in the scrip dividend scheme for this interim dividend is 23 September 2019. Shareholders must return their mandate form by 5pm (GMT) or otherwise input their CREST elections to be received by the Company's registrar, Computershare, by 3pm (GMT) on 23 September 2019. Elections received after this deadline will apply to subsequent dividends only. Unless revoked by you, your scrip dividend election will apply for all future dividends for which a scrip dividend is offered. Evergreen elections for CREST shareholders cannot be accepted and elections will revert to cash by default after the payment of each dividend.
