Dividends

Shareholders are able to choose how they receive their dividends:

• paid directly into their bank account;

• reinvested in Spirent Ordinary Shares;

• paid by cheque; or

• paid in foreign currencies.

The quickest and most efficient way to receive your dividends is to have them paid directly into your bank account. It saves waiting for funds to clear and reduces the paper and postage we use. To change how you receive your dividends, either log on to shareview.co.uk or contact Equiniti.

Would you prefer to receive your dividends as new shares rather than cash?

As an alternative to receiving your dividends in cash, Equiniti Financial Services Limited operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) on behalf of Spirent under which you can use the cash dividend on your Ordinary Shares to buy additional Spirent Ordinary Shares in the market at competitive dealing rates.

How the DRIP works

Equiniti will arrange for the purchase of Spirent Ordinary Shares using the whole of your cash dividend. The shares will be purchased on your behalf in the market as soon as possible on or after the dividend payment date, at the prevailing market price.
