Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) Issue Price
APA Group (APA) today announced that the DRP issue price with respect to the final distribution for the six month period ended 30 June 2008 is $2.65.
The issue price is based on the volume weighted average market price of APA securities traded on the ASX over a period of 10 days, being the five business days up to and including, and the five business days following, the relevant record date (30 June 2008) and includes a 2.5% discount.
The new securities will be issued on the distribution payment date, which will be on or about 10 September 2008, and will rank equally with existing securities.
The amount of the final distribution, and its tax deferred status, will be determined following finalisation of the 2008 financial results, which are due for release on 26 August 2008.
