Elections for Second Interim Dividend in respect of the Year Ended 31 March 2014
6 June 2014 - Experian plc, the global information services company, announced on 7 May 2014 a second interim dividend of 26.00 US cents per ordinary share payable on 25 July 2014 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 27 June 2014.
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 27 June 2014.
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 27 June 2014. Exemption forms should be delivered to the registrars' Dividend Planning Team so as to arrive no later than 5.30pm on 27 June 2014.
In addition, unless shareholders elect by 27 June 2014 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 4 July 2014. 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 27 June 2014.
