When a dividend is declared, this will be announced in conjunction with the half year and/or full year financial results.

The ASX website provides some useful information regarding dividends – see http://www.asx.com.au/prices/dividends.htm

Details of dividends paid to you can be obtained by logging in to your shareholding details via the Link Market Services website.  You will need your SRN or HIN to access your dividend details.

A table detailing dividend payments, franking percentages and dividend reinvestment plan issue prices can be found under Dividend History in the Investor Relations section of our website.

You will need to advise Link Market Services of details of the account into which you would like all future dividends to be paid. Individual shareholders can update their details online by logging in via the Link Investor Centre: https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com/Login.aspx/Login. Alternatively you may complete a Direct Credit of Payments form or contact Link Market Services via Website Enquiry: https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com/Login.aspx/Login#/OpenAccess/ContactUsInternal

Joint shareholders and corporations must complete and return the form to the Link Market Services.

Shareholders can arrange payment of their dividend into another person's account as long as they have correctly completed the notification of the banking details and provided it to the Link Market Services Registrar (including quotation of their SRN or HIN) and the registered shareholder has signed the notification of banking details form.

If you have not received a dividend that you believe should have been paid, please contact Incitec Pivot's Share Registrar, Link Market Services (see contact details at the top of this page).

The quickest and safest way to receive your dividend is to have it paid directly into your bank account.  A dividend statement will be sent to your registered address confirming payment into your account.  However, unless you select to have dividends paid into your bank account you will receive a cheque by post.

Alternatively, where Incitec Pivot invites shareholders to participate, you may elect to have your dividend reinvested in new shares.  Further details can be found in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Rules booklet.

If you require a replacement dividend statement, you need to inform Incitec Pivot's Share Registrar, Link Market Services (see contact details at the top of this page).  Alternatively, visit the Link Market Services Website Enquiry: https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com/Login.aspx/Login#/OpenAccess/ContactUsInternal, for instructions on how to obtain a replacement dividend statement.

Subject to the unclaimed monies requirements prescribed by the Victorian State Revenue Office, you should contact Link Market Services so that a replacement payment can be made.

To prevent this problem arising again, you may wish to arrange for dividends to be paid directly into your bank account.

Individual shareholders can update their details either online or using the Payment Instructions Form that may be obtained at the Link Market Services website or by contacting Link Market Services (see contact details at the top of this page). Joint shareholders and corporations must complete and return the form to Link Market Services.

Subject to the unclaimed monies requirements prescribed by the Victorian State revenue Office, you should contact Link Market Services so that a replacement payment can be made.

To obtain details of payments forwarded to Unclaimed Moneys, please call Link Market Services (see contact details at the top of this page), who will provide you with the appropriate contact details for Unclaimed Moneys.

Incitec Pivot invites participation in its Dividend Reinvestment Plan from time to time. Please view the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Rules booklet under Dividend Reinvestment Plan in the Incitec Pivot Investor Centre for an explanation of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.  If you have any queries regarding the potential impact of your participation, we recommend you contact your financial adviser prior to electing to participate.

If you don't provide your TFN or ABN (or exemption type), we are required to deduct tax from any unfranked portion of your Incitec Pivot dividend at the highest marginal tax rate. Incitec Pivot cannot refund tax deducted. You have to claim this tax from the Australian Tax Office when completing your tax return.

No. Incitec Pivot issues a dividend statement at the time of payment of a dividend.

No Australian withholding tax is deducted from dividends paid to non-residents to the extent that the dividend is fully franked or conduit foreign income. You will need advice from your local tax agent on how to declare any dividends in your tax return.

If you have acquired shares on more than one occasion, your holding may have been recorded on the share register with slightly different details.  As a result, two or more accounts may have been set up for you.  Sometimes we need to maintain more than one account, for example, if you hold shares in your own name and also in joint names with another person.  However, sometimes multiple accounts can be amalgamated.

Please contact Incitec Pivot's Share Registrars, Link Market Services to discuss amalgamation of shareholdings.
