Dividend Payment


Dividend Information

Ryanair Holdings Plc approved payment of a one off dividend to shareholders on November 30th, 2012 at its AGM on September 21st, 2012.

Dividend payments

Dividends are generally paid in euro. However, in order to avoid costs to shareholders, dividends are paid in Sterling and US Dollars to shareholders whose address, according to the Share Register, is in the UK and the United States respectively. If shareholders wish to have their dividend paid in a currency other than that which will be automatically used then they must complete a currency election form (Currency Election Form Explanatory Notes). This election form must be completed and received by Capita Registrars (Ireland) Limited, PO Box 7117, Dublin 2 (By Post) or to Unit 5, Manor Street Business Park, Manor Street, Dublin 7 (by Hand) by the November 16th, 2012.

As the above arrangements can be inflexible for institutional shareholders, where shares are held in CREST, dividends are automatically paid in euro unless a currency election is made. CREST members should use the facility in CREST to make currency elections. Such elections must be made in respect of entire holdings as partial elections are not permissible.

Dividends will be paid by cheque and will be sent by ordinary post on November 29th, 2012.

Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT) must be deducted from dividends paid by an Irish resident company, unless a shareholder is entitled to an exemption and has submitted a properly completed exemption form to the Company's Registrars, Capita Registrars. DWT applies to dividends paid by way of cash or by way of shares under a scrip dividend scheme and is deducted at the standard rate of Income Tax (currently 20%). Non-resident shareholders and certain Irish companies, trusts, pension schemes, investment undertakings and charities may be entitled to claim exemption from DWT. Copies of the form may be obtained online from the Irish Revenue Commissioners. Shareholders should note that DWT will be deducted from dividends in cases where a properly completed form has not been received by the record date for a dividend. Individuals who are resident in Ireland for tax purposes are not entitled to an exemption.
