Dividend Reinvestment Plan
On the 29 July 2009 The Board of New Zealand Oil & Gas Ltd announced the establishment of a Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Under this Plan, shareholders resident in New Zealand or Australia can choose to invest all or part of their future dividends in taking up additional NZOG Shares, instead of receiving cash.
The Plan provides a convenient way for a NZOG shareholder to reinvest dividends in Shares, without incurring brokerage charges. In addition, the Board has decided that, until determined otherwise, new Shares issued under the Plan will be offered at a discount. The number of Shares will be calculated at a 2.5% discount to the weighted average sale price for Shares sold on each of the first five business days immediately following the dividend record date.
Participation in the Plan is optional and if a shareholder takes no action they will continue receiving dividends in cash (by cheque or direct credit to a bank account).
For the Terms and Conditions of the Plan refer to the New Zealand Oil & Gas Limited website: www.nzog.com
