Menu INVESTOR CENTRE Dividends DIVIDEND POLICY Newcrest looks to pay ordinary dividends that are sustainable over time having regard to its cash flow generation, its reinvestment options in the business and external growth opportunities, its financial policy metrics and its balance sheet strength. Newcrest targets a total annual dividend payout of 30-60% of free cash flow generated for the financial year, with the annual total dividends being at least US$ 15 cents per share on a full year basis. The declaration of any future dividend remains at the discretion of the Newcrest Board, having regard to circumstances prevailing at that time. 2021 FINAL DIVIDEND On 19 August 2021, the Newcrest Board determined that a final fully franked dividend of US 40 cents per share will be paid on Thursday, 30 September 2021.

As a result, dividends are now determined in US dollars. Shareholders will receive their dividend in Australian dollars unless: (a) they have: nominated a PNG kina bank account domiciled in PNG by a nominated time and date; or a registered address in PNG and have not nominated an Australian dollar bank account domiciled in Australia or a US dollar bank account domiciled in the United States of America or a NZ dollar bank account domiciled in New Zealand by a nominated time and date, in which case they will receive their dividend in PNG kina; or (b) they have nominated a US dollar bank account domiciled in the United States of America by a nominated time and date, in which case they will receive their dividend in US dollars; or (c) they have nominated a NZ dollar bank account domiciled in New Zealand by a nominated date and time, in which case they will receive their dividend in NZ dollars. As dividends are determined in US dollars, for payments to be made in Australian dollars, Papua New Guinea kina or New Zealand dollars, conversion into the relevant currency will be based on the foreign currency exchange rates applicable on the relevant Record Date.
