Dividend
Xstrata plc maintains a progressive dividend policy, which takes into account underlying growth in Group earnings, capital requirements and cash flows, while maintaining an appropriate level of dividend cover.
Interim and final dividends are generally paid in the approximate ratio of one-third and two-thirds of the total annual dividend. The Sterling, Euro or Swiss Franc amount payable will be determined by reference to the exchange rates applicable to the US dollar seven days prior to the dividend payment date. Dividends can be paid directly into a UK bank or building society account to shareholders who elect for their dividend to be paid in pounds sterling. Currency election and dividend mandate forms are available below. Please feel free to contact us for any additional enquiries you may have.
