BST OFFERS DIVIDEND GUIDANCE:

In line with the Company’s stated intention to provide a growing stream of fully franked dividends each year, and given BST’s investment performance during the year and its current financial position, BST is able to provide investors with guidance of the proposed FY16 Final dividend payment.

This table is not a formal declaration of dividends. Shareholders and investors should only rely on the Official Declaration of Dividend for confirmation as to dividend amount and relevant dates, including what level of franking may be attached to any dividends declared.

It should be noted that the actual dividend that is declared will be paid on all the shares in issue at the record date, including those issued due to the exercising of the Options which are due to expire in August 2016.
