Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

The Perpetual Board has determined that in relation to the 2021 interim dividend the DRP will operate as follows:

• The allocation price at which shares are allocated will not include a discount;

• The pricing period for setting the Average Market Price will be the 10 trading days commencing 8 March 2021 and ending 19 March 2021; and

• Shares allocated under the DRP will, from the date of Allocation, rank equally in all respects with existing Shares.

The DRP discount and other terms are reviewed prior to each dividend payment and the DRP terms that will apply to future dividends will be announced to the ASX at the relevant times.

The DRP terms that apply to the dividend, and a complete copy of the DRP Rules, can be found within the Shareholder Centre section of Perpetual’s website at https://www.perpetual.com.au/About/Shareholders and select Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

Last Election Date for Participation in the 2021 Interim Dividend DRP

If shareholders wish to participate in the DRP for the upcoming dividend, or to change their level of participation, they must complete a DRP Participation Notice and return it to Perpetual’s share registry, Link Market Services, by no later than 5:00pm, Australian Eastern Standard Time, on 8 March 2021.

The remainder of the information requiring disclosure to comply with listing rule 4.2A is contained in the statutory financial report, media release and additional information.
