The Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Fletcher Building Limited will be held in the SKYCITY Auckland Convention Centre, 88 Federal Street, Auckland, New Zealand, at 10.30 am on Wednesday 16 November 2011.
The company has declared a final dividend for the year of 17 cents per share payable on 19 October 2011. This is in addition to the interim dividend of 16 cents per share paid in April 2011. The final dividend has imputation credits attached at a 28 percent tax rate. There are no Australian franking credits attached.
Fletcher Building shareholders (excluding those in jurisdictions where the issue of shares is not permitted by law) can participate in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, under which they have the opportunity to reinvest their dividends in additional shares. To participate, please contact the share registry.

This website contains all news releases to the NZX and ASX financial presentations made by the company.
The company is not required to send printed copies of the annual report and half year review to shareholders. Instead, Fletcher Building sends an annual review which is a summary of the company's operational and financial activities for the year, although holders can view the reports on the company's website. In addition, they have a right to receive a copy of these reports on request.
To minimise the risk of fraud and misplacement of dividend cheques shareholders are strongly recommended to have all payments made by way of direct credit to their nominated New Zealand or Australian bank account. This can be done by simply giving the share registry written notice.
Details of the company's share registries are given in the Directory.
Shareholders with enquiries about share transactions, changes of address or dividend payments should contact the share registry in the country in which their shares are registered.
