Equiniti will start the purchase as soon as practicable on or after the dividend payment date. This may take several days to complete. You cannot specify a maximum or minimum price. It may be necessary to carry out several transactions and the prices at which shares are purchased may vary, in which case all participants will receive the same average price. Shares will usually be added to your holding three to four days after the dividend payment date.
To participate in the DRIP for a particular dividend, your election must be received 15 working days prior to the next dividend payment date, otherwise your dividend will be paid in cash. Elections received after this will only apply to subsequent dividends. You can find out more about the DRIP here. If you have any questions about the DRIP, you should contact Equiniti.
