Elections for Second Interim Dividend in respect of the Year Ended 31 March 2015
5 June 2015 - Experian plc, the global information services company, announced on 12 May 2015 a second interim dividend of 27.00 US cents per ordinary share payable on 24 July 2015 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 26 June 2015.
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 26 June 2015.
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 26 June 2015. Exemption forms should be delivered to the registrars' Dividend Planning Team so as to arrive no later than 5.30pm on 26 June 2015.
In addition, unless shareholders elect by 26 June 2015 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 3 July 2015. 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 26 June 2015.
