How are dividends paid to shareholders?

Dividends may be paid to shareholders in any of the following forms: cheque, direct deposit or by Electronic Funds Transfer ("EFT").

What is meant by 'cum-dividend' and 'ex-dividend'?

You will see or hear these terms when a company declares a dividend. 'Cum-dividend' means the shares carry the entitlement to the dividend and if purchased 'cum-dividend', the buyer will receive the dividend.

'Ex-dividend' means without the dividend. Therefore if you see the share price quoted 'ex-dividend', the dividend is earmarked for the seller, not the buyer. The market price will reflect whether the shares are 'cum' or 'ex' the dividend entitlement.

Where can I find information on past Anglo American Platinum dividends?

Details of dividends paid are available on our Investors/Shareholder services/Dividend history.

You may, however, use your dividend once it is paid to you to buy more shares in Anglo American Platinum. For more information please contact your stock broker or your bank.

Will the payment of dividends affect my shareholding?

No. Dividends are that part of a company's profits that the company decides to pay to its shareholders and the payment thereof will not in any way affect your shareholding in the company.
