Final Dividend
On 29 March 2012 bwin.party published its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2011, which disclosed that the Board of Directors is recommending a final dividend of 1.56 pence per ordinary share. Subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 7 June 2012, this dividend will be paid by the Company in accordance with the timetable set out below.
Shareholders and depositary interest holders are reminded that they may elect to receive the dividend payment in Euros by submitting currency elections to the Company's registrar (Capita Registrars) no later than 25 May 2012. Currency election forms will be dispatched shortly with bwin.party's 2011 annual report and the form is available on the Company's website, www.bwin.party.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 29 May 2012.
Currency elections are enduring, so if registered shareholders or depositary interest holders elected to receive the bwin.party 2011 half-year dividend 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.
