Since year-end, the Board has considered the Company’s need for cash to fund growth and resolved to make payment of a final 2023 dividend of 0.8 cents per share, fully franked based on tax paid at 25.0%. With the continued growth that is forecast, the Board expects to be able to continue to pay dividends. As the Board resolution regarding the final dividend was made after 30 June 2023, it will be paid from retained earnings but is not recognised as a liability in the financial statements at year-end.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

During the period LaserBond Limited had a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) in operation. Under the DRP shareholders may elect to have dividends on some or all their ordinary shares automatically reinvested in additional LaserBond shares, at a discount to the market price. Full details of the operation of the DRP are contained in the Terms and Conditions available on the LaserBond website: http://www.laserbond.com.au/investor-relations.html.

The Board has resolved to offer the DRP for the 2023 Final Dividend. The discount applied to the Market Price determined in accordance with the DRP Terms and Conditions will be 5%.

To participate in the DRP for this dividend, shareholders that have not already done so should return a completed DRP Application Form to arrive at the share registry (Boardroom Pty Ltd) by 8 September 2023. The form is available on our website: http://www.laserbond.com.au/investor-relations.html. Shareholders that have already returned the form need not complete another unless a change in participation level is being requested.

Cash dividends are paid by electronic funds transfer. To receive the dividend in cash (either fully or in part), shareholders that have not already done so must ensure the share registry (Boardroom Pty Ltd) has received their Australian bank account details by 8 September 2023. Shareholders that have already returned the form need not complete another. The form is available on our website: http://www.laserbond.com.au/investor-relations.html.
