Tax and Dividend Payments
For Australian registered
shareholders who have not
quoted their Tax File Number (TFN)
or Australian Business Number
(ABN), the company is obliged to
deduct tax at the top marginal
rate plus Medicare levy from
unfranked and/or partially franked
dividends. If you have not already
quoted your TFN/ABN, you may
do so by contacting the Share
Registrar or by registering your
TFN/ABN at Orica’s website at:
www.orica.com/registry to access
the shareholder information page.
Dividend Payments
Your dividends will be paid in
Australian dollars by cheque,
mailed to the address recorded
on the share register.
Why not have us bank your
dividend payments for you?
How would you like to have
immediate access to your
dividend payment? Your dividend
payments can be credited directly
into any nominated bank, building
society or credit union account in
Australia.
Dividends paid by direct credit
appear in your account as cleared
funds, thus allowing you to access
them on payment date. You may
elect to receive your dividends by
way of direct credit by completing
an application form available by
contacting the Share Registrar or
enter the details at Orica’s website
at www.orica.com/registry.
Shareholders should be aware
that any cheques that remain
uncashed after approximately
two years from a dividend
payment are required to be
handed over to State Trustees
under the Unclaimed Monies Act.
Shareholders are encouraged to
cash cheques promptly or to have
their dividends directly deposited
into their bank accounts.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan
(DRP) enables Orica’s fully paid
ordinary shareholders having
a registered address or being
resident in Australia or New
Zealand to reinvest all or part
of their dividends in additional
Orica fully paid ordinary shares.
Applications are available from
the Share Registrar.

Holdings
If you have multiple issuer
sponsored holdings that you
wish to consolidate into a single
account, please notify the Share
