Notes

1. This summary is of a general nature and the tax rates used and the calculations are intended for guidance only. As individual circumstances will vary, shareholders are advised to seek independent advice.

2. No imputation credits are attached to this dividend.

3. A supplementary dividend is only payable to non-New Zealand shareholders if the dividend is fully or partly imputed.  It has the effect of removing the cost of New Zealand non-resident withholding tax (NRWT) on that part of the dividend which has imputation credits attached. As noted above, no imputation credits are attached to this dividend.  Accordingly, no supplementary dividend is payable.

4. There are no Australian franking credits attached to this dividend and the conduit foreign income component is nil.

5. For all NZ resident shareholders who do not hold an exemption certificate, resident withholding tax (RWT) is required to be deducted at 33%. Accordingly, for those shareholders, a deduction of 6.27 cents per share will be made on the date of payment from the dividend declared of 19.0 cents per share and forwarded to Inland Revenue. Resident shareholders who have a tax rate less than 33% will need to file a tax return to obtain a credit for the RWT deduction in excess of their marginal tax rate.

6. NZ non-resident withholding tax at the rate of 15% on the gross dividend for NZ tax purposes.

7. This summary uses two examples of the effect of tax in Australia. The first uses the top marginal tax rate of 49%, including the Medicare levy and the Temporary Budget Repair Levy. The second example uses the 15% income tax rate applicable in Australia to complying superannuation funds, approved deposit funds and pooled superannuation trusts. Different tax rates will apply to other Australian shareholders, including individuals, depending on their circumstances.
