Elections for Second Interim Dividend in respect of the Year Ended 31 March 2018
8 June 2018 - Experian plc, the global information services company, announced on 17 May 2018 a second interim dividend of 31.25 US cents per ordinary share payable on 20 July 2018 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 22 June 2018.
Shareholders are reminded that the final date for submission of:
(a) elections to receive UK sourced dividends via the Income Access Share arrangements, and
(b) elections to receive dividends in US dollars
is 22 June 2018.
In the absence of any such elections, previous elections or deemed elections will remain in force.
Shareholders who do not elect (or have not been deemed to elect) to receive UK sourced dividends through the Income Access Share arrangements are reminded that their dividends will be Irish sourced and subject to Irish dividend withholding tax unless the Company's share registrars are in possession of a valid exemption form by 22 June 2018. Exemption forms should be delivered to the registrars' Dividend Planning Team so as to arrive no later than 5.30pm on 22 June 2018.
In addition, unless shareholders elect by 22 June 2018 to receive US dollars, their dividends will be paid in sterling at a rate per share calculated on the basis of the exchange rate from US dollars to sterling pounds on 29 June 2018. If you hold your shares in uncertificated form, that is via CREST, and wish to make an election to receive US dollars, your instruction should be made via the established procedure for dividend elections in CREST. Certificated holders who wish to make an election to receive US dollars should complete and lodge the election form which is available from the shareholder portal at www.experianplc.com/shares or by contacting the share registrars directly. All valid elections must be received by 22 June 2018.

Calls made outside the United Kingdom will be charged at the applicable international rate. Lines are open from 9.00am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday excluding public holidays in England and Wales.
