Do the dividends carry any imputation or other tax credits?
Yes. Dividends on Freightways shares are fully imputed, i.e. the dividends have imputation credits attached at the corporate income tax rate of 33%.
When are dividends paid?
Usually twice a year, in March and September. They are paid to shareholders on the share register as at the dividend record date (usually mid March and mid September).
How are dividends paid?
In New Zealand payments may be made either by cheque or direct credit. Computershare can provide a consolidated Dividend and Interest Notice showing all dividend and interest paid during the tax year by companies for which they act. This statement is available soon after April 1st each year by contacting Computershare or phoning Computershare on 09 488 8777 and giving your full name and shareholder number.
Does Freightways have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan?
No.
How do I have my dividends credited to my bank account?
If you currently receive dividends by way of cheque, and wish to receive dividends direct to your bank account, you should advise Computershare of your bank account or a change of account, by writing to them (mail or fax) giving the following information:
- Full Name
- Shareholder Number (from a Shareholding Statement or Payment Advice)
- Bank Account details (Bank, Branch, Account and Suffix)
For extra certainty you should include a bank deposit slip with your letter. Please note, all named shareholders must sign your instruction. You will still receive via mail a Remittance Advice giving you details of the payment made.
Who do I contact if I have questions about Freightways dividends?
If you have any questions about your shareholding or about dividends, you should contact the share registry.
