A dividend is a sum of money paid by a company to its shareholders out of its profits on a regular basis.

The Greencore Group plc dividend is declared in Sterling and paid to the registered shareholder by cheque, however, you may elect to receive your dividend in Euro also and have the proceeds paid directly into your bank or building society. Euro payments can only be paid into Euro Bank accounts in the SEPA Zone countries or the UK by providing your BIC and IBAN. For a list of SEPA Zone territories, please visit www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu. Sterling payments can only be paid into Sterling Bank accounts in the UK by providing your Account and Sort Code. If you wish to set up a mandate, please contact the Registrar on +353(0)1 431 9832 or use the form on the reverse of your next/last dividend payment (if paid by cheque).

Greencore is obliged to deduct Irish dividend withholding tax unless the shareholder is entitled to an exemption, and has submitted the appropriate completed Revenue Declaration Form to the Registrar. The appropriate Revenue Declaration Form may be obtained from the Registrar. Non-Resident shareholders and certain Irish resident companies, trusts, pension schemes, investment undertakings and charities (as defined in the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997) may be entitled to claim exemption from dividend withholding tax. If you are an individual shareholder who is tax resident in Ireland, you will not qualify for exemption and the withholding tax will be deducted in your case.

The Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) is a meeting held by all companies once a year to which all shareholders are entitled to attend. At the AGM, the board of directors will present the annual report and accounts to the shareholders and propose any other resolutions which are deemed appropriate. The board of directors are also available to answer any questions that you may have.

You do not need to attend, but are very welcome. If you do not attend you may wish to complete a proxy form which will be enclosed with your AGM documentation so that you can submit your voting intentions in advance of the meeting.

Starting from Interim FY18 dividend, Greencore no longer offers the scrip dividend scheme.
