2023 H2 Distribution
Determination of currency amounts
Glencore confirms that:
1. On 26 May 2023, the shareholders resolved to pay an aggregate distribution of US$0.44 per share in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2022, payable in H1 and H2 in two equal tranches of US$0.22 per share from the capital contribution reserves of the Company. On 8 August 2023, the Company announced an additional distribution of US$0.08 per share to be paid alongside the H2 distribution. Therefore, the aggregate distribution amount for H2 will be US$0.30 per share, made from the capital contribution reserves of the Company.
2. This repayment is of US$0.30 per ordinary share and is to be made in US dollars, although shareholders on the Jersey register who have opted for a different currency by 4 September 2023 will receive their distribution payments in either Pounds Sterling, Euros or Swiss Francs. Elections will remain in place until revoked by the shareholder.
3. The Pound Sterling, Euro and Swiss Franc amounts payable are determined by reference to the closing mid exchange rates applicable to the US dollar on 7 September 2023.
The following rates were published in the Financial Times guide to world currencies today:
|
GBP/USD |
EUR/USD |
USD/CHF |
|
1.2477 |
1.0705 |
0.8929 |
Accordingly, for non-US dollar payments the amount payable per share on 22 September 2023 will be approximately:
|
Pounds Sterling |
Euros |
Swiss Francs |
|
0.240442 |
0.280243 |
0.267870 |
An announcement was made in South Africa on 28 August 2023 regarding the determination of the South African Rand amount payable in respect of shares on the Johannesburg register.
The distributions for 2023 may be deemed "qualified dividends" for US Federal income tax purposes (subject to certain holding period requirements). Distributions paid by the Company may constitute "qualified dividends" because the Company is a "qualified foreign corporation" for US Federal income tax purposes.
