Dividend Policy
Heartland determines dividends (both interim and final) based on its net profit after tax, subject to maintaining a prudent level of capital for its needs. Heartland's capital needs will vary from time to time depending on a range of factors (including regulatory and credit rating requirements, general economic conditions, current and expected growth and the business mix). A key objective is to ensure an appropriate balance between maximising shareholder returns, and protecting the interests of depositors through prudent capital management.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Heartland has a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) which offers shareholders the opportunity to reinvest some or all of their dividend payments into ordinary shares in Heartland, free of brokerage charges. Participation in the DRP is entirely optional.
See the Offer Document for full details of the DRP.
How to participate
To participate in the DRP, you need to make a participation election either online or by completing the Participation Notice form in the Offer Document and returning it to Heartland's Share Registrar Link Market Services.
Shareholders must have a New Zealand or Australian address recorded in the share register to be eligible to participate in the DRP.
