Yes, UOB has a scrip dividend scheme. A shareholder may choose whether to receive dividends in cash or shares. Please refer to the ‘Share Entitlement’ section of the UOB Scrip Dividend Scheme Statement on the Scrip Dividend page.

The Scheme is not applied automatically to every dividend. The announcement relating to each dividend will state if the Scheme is applied to that dividend. Please refer to the SGX Announcements page or Dividends page for more information.

The price at which each new Share is to be issued (the “Issue Price”) will be set at the average of the last dealt prices of the Share during the price determination period (being the period commencing on the date on which the Shares are first traded on an ex-dividend basis and ending on the Record Date).

Please contact your depository agent or nominee if you wish to participate in UOB’s Scrip Dividend Scheme.

An overseas shareholder must provide a mailing address in Singapore by the pre-determined date to participate in the scheme. Please refer to the ‘Overseas Shareholders’ section of the UOB Scrip Dividend Scheme Statement on the Scrip Dividend page.

Dividends are one-tier and tax-exempted. If in doubt, please refer to your financial or professional adviser.
