Important information about dividend payments

Echo Entertainment Group has streamlined the way in which dividends are paid to shareholders. Payments to shareholders with a registered address in Australia will only be made by direct credit into a nominated account with an Australian financial institution.

The payment of dividends by direct credit is a fast, convenient and secure way of receiving your dividend entitlements, providing benefits such as:

payments being electronically credited to your nominated bank account on the dividend payment date, without any mailing or handling delays; and
no misplaced cheques.

You will continue to receive a dividend statement through the mail or electronically in accordance with your instructions to the share registry regarding shareholder communications.

You can add or update your bank account details using the online share registry facility.

Alternatively, you can complete a Request for Direct Credit of Payments form and return it to the share registry.
