1999 & 2000 - 6% each year

NTUC Income's dividend policy is to reward shareholders for investment earnings on their capital, which is used to back our business. Dividends are declared on all shares held during the financial year and are based on our business performance during the year. It is declared at the Annual General Meeting and is credited directly to your bank account. Dividend is payable in full on shares held for a duration of 12 calendar months during the financial year and on a pro-rated basis on shares held for less than 12 months. During the past 5 years, our dividends have averaged about 5.1% per annum. The highest rate was 6% and the lowest rate was 3.5%. The dividend is calculated on the par value of the shares.
