CGNU announced earlier today a recommended full year dividend of 38.0 pence net per ordinary share. The final dividend of 23.75 pence net per ordinary share is payable on 17 May 2001 to the members on the register at 30 March 2001. The ex-dividend date is 28 March 2001.
Irish shareholders who are due to be paid a final dividend denominated in Irish punts will receive a payment based upon the exchange rate prevailing on 26 February 2001.
Shareholders will again be offered the opportunity to participate in the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan") which enables shareholders to re-invest their dividend in the Company's shares whilst benefiting from reduced dealing costs. Shareholders who have already joined the Plan need take no further action and the cash dividend will automatically be used to purchase CGNU shares on or after the dividend payment date.
Shareholders who have not joined the Plan and wish to do so, should complete a Plan mandate form and return it to the Company's Registrar by no later than 19 April 2001 in order to participate for the 2000 year final dividend. A mandate form and further details of the Plan can be obtained from the Company's Registrar.
The address of the Company's Registrar is:
Lloyds TSB Registrars
