Announcement

Dividend Payment Options

 

Nicosia, 10 May 2024

 

Further to the announcement by Bank of Cyprus Holdings Public Limited Company
(the 'Company') dated 20 March 2024 on the receipt of approval from the
European Central Bank to pay a cash dividend (subject to approval by
shareholders at the Annual General Meeting ('AGM') to be held on 17 May 2024),
the Company would like to inform its shareholders who hold their shares in the
Company through depositary interests on the Cyprus Stock Exchange ('CSE
Shareholders') of the following for any upcoming or future dividend payments:

 

(a)  CSE Shareholders that are customers of Bank of Cyprus Public Company
Limited ('BOC') and are not a legal person or person holding shares in the
Company through a jointly owned account on the Central Securities Depository
and Central Registry ('CSD'):

 

(i)   to the extent that they are 1bank subscribers and active users of the
Internet Banking and/ or BoC Mobile app, may elect to receive future dividend
payments (if any) by way of  electronic transfer to a bank account maintained
with BOC registered in their name through Internet Banking
(https://online.bankofcyprus.com/Login_UI/Login
(https://online.bankofcyprus.com/Login_UI/Login) and then Profile/Dividend
Payments) or BoC Mobile app (Personal Information/Dividend Payments)  and

 

(ii) in the event that they are not 1bank subscribers, may become subscribers
without any charge and obtain access codes through Internet Banking or BoC
Mobile app and submit their instructions in accordance with (i) above.

 

(b)  CSE Shareholders who are legal entities or hold their shares in the
Company through a jointly owned account  on the CSD and are BOC customers,
may submit their request in writing, by completing the relevant authorisation
form which can be found here
(https://www.bankofcyprus.com/en-gb/group/investor-relations/shareholder-information/general-information-2/)
and by following the instructions included in the form.

 

(c)  CSE Shareholders who are not currently BOC customers may become
customers by opening an account with BOC via BoC Mobile app and submit their
instructions in accordance with (a)(i) above.

 

(d)  CSE Shareholders who would like to receive their dividend payments by
way of electronic transfer to an account in another financial institution, may
submit their request in writing by submitting the relevant form according to
the instructions included in the form. The form can be found here
(https://www.bankofcyprus.com/en-gb/group/investor-relations/shareholder-information/general-information-2/)
.

 

In the event that the Company's articles of association ('Articles of
Association') are amended, as proposed in the AGM Notice 2024, the Company
will no longer have any obligation to send the amount of any dividend payment
by cheque if such amount is €2.00 or less (or such other amount as may be
determined from time to time). CSE Shareholders who submit instructions for
electronic transfers will effectively ensure the payment to them of their
dividend irrespective of its amount.

 

CSE Shareholders' instructions for electronic payments will be accepted at any
time and will be processed if received by the Company at least 10 working days
prior to the next dividend payment date. Otherwise, the instructions will take
effect from the following dividend payment date.

 

The payment of any dividend is always subject to the provisions of the
Articles of Association and applicable laws. Instructions will not be
processed in the event of:

 

a)   a pledge of securities;

b)   securities held under the control of an operator/ broker;

c)   restrictions pursuant to applicable sanctions, anti-terrorism laws or
securities laws; or

d)   circumstances where certain court orders prevail.
