Further to the announcement on 19 November 2008 of a first interim dividend of 6.75 US cents per ordinary share, payable on 30 January 2009 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 5 January 2009, the Company now announces that the £/$ exchange rate to be used to convert the dividend payment from US dollars to sterling pounds, for those shareholders who did not elect by 5 January 2009 to receive payment in US dollars, will be £1 = $1.5177.
Shareholders who did not elect to receive UK sourced dividends through the income access share arrangements are reminded that, as previously advised, their dividends will be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax unless the Company's Registrars are in possession of a valid exemption form. As previously advised, the final date for submission of elections to receive UK sourced dividends via the income access share arrangements was 5 January 2009. In the absence of any such elections, previous elections or deemed elections will remain in force.
