Half Year Dividend
The Board of bwin.party has today declared a half year dividend of 1.89 pence per ordinary share in respect of the six month period ended 30 June 2014. This interim dividend will be paid by the Company in accordance with the timetable set out below.
This dividend will be paid in Pounds Sterling. Shareholders and depositary interest holders may elect to receive the dividend payment in Euros by submitting currency elections to the Company's registrar (Capita Asset Services) no later than 19 September 2014.
The currency election form is available in the 'Investors' section of the Company's website, www.bwinparty.com and is being dispatched today to those shareholders that have requested hard copies of bwin.party shareholder documentation.
Depositary interest holders wishing to receive the dividend in Euros may submit a currency election via CREST.
Euro currency elections are enduring, so there is no need for registered bwin.party shareholders and depositary interest holders who have previously made a Euro currency election and wish to continue receiving payment of bwin.party dividends in Euros to submit a further currency election.
The foreign exchange rate used for converting the Pounds Sterling dividend payment into Euros will be the rate struck and quoted by the Company at or about 11.00 a.m. (BST) on 23 September 2014.
