Dividend Policy
The Board of Buderim Ginger acknowledges the importance of a strong and sustainable dividend stream to shareholders. Directors anticipate that dividends paid will ideally be in the range of 65% to 75% of the operating profit after tax, however the amount declared will be after consideration of a number of factors at the time of making the declaration. These factors include earnings achieved and forecast, applicable income tax legislation, capital expenditure requirements, financing requirements, investment opportunities and the general economic and business outlook facing the company.
Dividends paid will be franked to available franking credits. Interim dividends, if declared, will normally be paid in September of each financial year. Final dividends, if declared, will normally be paid in the month of May out of operating profits after tax earned for the year ended 31 December. The availability of interim dividends will depend upon the company's performance in the first six months of the trading year.
For information on the current year's dividend, please refer to Annual Reports available on this website.

Share Purchase Plan
The Company considers it desirable to gradually increase its equity component as its business expansion plans are implemented. A Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") being implemented in May 2003, will facilitate the desired growth in equity and will provide a benefit for existing shareholders by allowing them to increase their holdings on favourable terms. The SPP will also provide an opportunity for shareholders with less than marketable parcels, to increase their holdings beyond this level.

What is the difference between an Issuer Sponsored and a Broker Sponsored Shareholding?
Chess holders have entered into an agreement with a Broker who will buy and sell their shares for them. They will have one HIN (holder identification number) and all their securities are registered under this number. The broker will charge fees according to the level of service they provide. Broker sponsored holdings begin with an X.
Issuer Sponsored on the other hand are securities by an issuer that are held in uncertificated form without the holder entering into a sponsorship agreement with a Broker. Every holding has a different number (SRN - shareholder identification number). Issuer sponsored holdings begin with an I. The share registry will process off-market transfers. No stamp duty is payable.
