Dear Elders hybrid holder,
Elders Hybrids: Notice of no Distribution for Distribution Period ending 30 March 2016.
I am writing to you in respect of the Distribution Period (as that term is defined in the Company's hybrid prospectus dated 28 February 2006) ending 30 March 2016.
Elders remains committed to its proposal, made at the time of its October 2014 capital raising, to re-invigorate and strengthen the business to grow earnings and returns. As communicated to hybrid holders previously, the consequence of this proposal was that dividends on its ordinary shares and hybrid distributions were unlikely to resume in the next two to three years at the least from the date of the capital raising. The Company is only part way through execution of that proposal and the time frame associated with it.
Accordingly, the Company gives notice to you that it will not pay a Distribution in respect of any hybrids for the Distribution Period ending 30 March 2016.
Yours faithfully,
