Westpac shareholders can donate a portion of their dividend to the Westpac Group Family of Giving by contacting the Westpac Share Registrar, Link Market Services Limited (Link), on 1800 804 255 (toll free within Australia) or on +61 1800 804 255 from outside Australia.
Link will explain how the Dividend Donation Plan is administered, with particular emphasis on how it operates if you are also a Participant in the Westpac Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP).
To be effective for the next dividend payment, your election must be completed by 5:00pm Australian Eastern Standard Time on the record date for the relevant dividend.
When you contact Link please have your holder number handy (there are two forms: an SRN, which normally starts with a capital “I” and denotes that the holding is Issuer sponsored; or a HIN, which normally starts with a capital “X” and denotes that the holding is Broker sponsored). If you are unable to locate your holder number, please ask Link to explain how you may obtain a replacement holding statement.
