Direct credit payments

The Star Entertainment Group (formerly known as 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 on-line share registry facility.

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

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Star Entertainment Group has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) which will allow The Star Entertainment Group shareholders to reinvest all or part of any dividends payable on their shares to acquire additional The Star Entertainment Group shares.

The DRP has been activated and commenced operation after 30 June 2013.

Shareholders may elect to participate in the DRP by completing and returning a DRP Application or Variation Form to the share registry so that it is received by the next business day after the record date for the relevant dividend. DRP elections can also be updated online via the share registry’s website www.linkmarketservices.com.au or by logging into The Star Entertainment Group’s on-line share registry facility.

If you wish to participate in the DRP, please read the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Summary and the Dividend Reinvestment Plan Rules (by clicking on the links at the bottom of this page) before returning a Dividend Reinvestment Plan Application or Variation form to the share registry or updating your DRP elections online.

Note: Participation in the DRP will override the payment of a cash dividend.

2016 SHARE SALE FACILITIES

The Star Entertainment Group announced on 5 April 2016 share sale facilities that provided eligible small shareholders the opportunity to sell their shares without incurring any brokerage or handling costs.

Participation in the separate share sale facilities were open to eligible shareholders whose registered address was in Australia or New Zealand as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 29 March 2016 (Record Date) and who were:

  1. registered holders of less than a marketable parcel of shares (i.e. less than $500 worth of shares on the Record Date) (Small Holding Sale Facility); or
  2. registered holders of 5,000 or less shares (but held at least $500 worth of shares) on the Record Date (Voluntary Share Sale Facility).

On 5 April 2016, eligible shareholders were sent a letter together with a Share Retention Form (for the Small Holding Sale Facility) or a Sale Instruction Form (for the Voluntary Share Sale Facility), and Terms and Conditions for the relevant share sale facility.

Both share sale facilities closed at 5:00pm (Sydney time) on 17 May 2016 (Closing Date).

All participants who had their SGR shares sold under either the Small Holding Sale Facility or the Voluntary Share Sale Facility received the same average price of $5.51 per share, which was calculated by dividing the total proceeds from the sale of all SGR shares sold under the facilities by the total number of SGR shares sold under the facilities.

Payment of the sale proceeds were made to participating shareholders on 27 May 2016 in accordance with their payment instructions as recorded on the share register.

Small Holding Sale Facility

The Small Holding Sale Facility was conducted in accordance with The Star Entertainment Group’s Constitution and the Australian Securities Exchange Listing Rules that enables all listed companies to sell shareholdings valued at less than $500 (Unmarketable Parcel).

Based on a share price of $5.68, being the closing price of The Star Entertainment Group (SGR) shares on the Australian Securities Exchange on the Record Date, an Unmarketable Parcel was any holding of 88 shares or less.

Eligible shareholders who wished to retain their Unmarketable Parcel were required to return a Share Retention Form to the share registry by the Closing Date.

  • 29 March 2016 (7pm) – Record Date
