The Company also confirms, further to its announcement on 5 January 2023, that shareholders may participate in a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") in respect of the current interim dividend and any future dividends. The DRIP is provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited ("Equiniti FS") and administered by PHP's registrars, Equiniti Limited ("Equiniti"), and provides shareholders with the opportunity to reinvest dividend payments to purchase additional ordinary shares in PHP in the market.
Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares in certificated form and who wish to participate in the DRIP will need to ensure that a completed DRIP Application Form is received by Equiniti no later than 5:00pm on 2 February 2024 (the "Election Date"). Shareholders who hold their ordinary shares in CREST and who wish to participate in the DRIP must do so by submitting an election by CREST input message by the Election Date.
