AMCIL Limited Participation in BHP Billiton buy-back

AMCIL has participated in the recent buy-back of shares by BHP. As a result it has sold some its BHP shares back to BHP. Under the terms of the transaction this means it has received a substantial part of the consideration by way of a fully franked dividend. The amount of fully franked dividend received is $1,767,107.

As a result of the transaction there is also a corresponding addition to the Company’s franking account balance. Under the Company’s practice of maximising the distribution of available franking credits, this means AMCIL would be in the position of being able to pay out as a dividend at least 3 cents per share in respect of the current year.

This is subject to the circumstances of the financial markets and the state of the Company at the time the directors review the full year accounts and determine the size of the dividend.
