Final Dividend
The bwin.party Board of Directors announces today that it is recommending a final dividend of 1.72 pence per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2012. Subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 19 June 2013, this dividend will be paid by the Company in accordance with the timetable set out below.
Shareholders and depositary interest holders may elect to receive the dividend payment in Euros by submitting currency elections to the Company's registrar (Capita Registrars) no later than 31 May 2013. Currency election forms will be dispatched with bwin.party's 2012 annual report and the form will be available on the Company's website, www.bwinparty.com. Depositary interest holders wishing to receive the dividend in Euros should submit a currency election via CREST.
The foreign exchange rate to be used for converting the Pounds Sterling final dividend payment into Euros will be the rate quoted by the Company at or about 11.00 a.m. (BST) on 4 June 2013.
Currency elections are enduring, so if registered shareholders or depositary interest holders have previously elected to receive bwin.party dividends in Euros, then there is no need for them to make a further election if they wish to continue receiving bwin.party dividends in Euros.
