Reading, United Kingdom (9 April 2020)
On 27 February 2020, the Board of Directors of ConvaTec Group Plc ("ConvaTec" or "the Company") proposed a final dividend of 3.983 cents per share ("Final Dividend"), subject to approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 7 May 2020. This Final Dividend is to be paid on 14 May 2020 to shareholders on the share register as at 3 April 2020 ("Record Date"). The Final Dividend is payable in cash, in sterling to holders of ordinary shares, the chosen exchange rate for this payment is $1.287/£1.00, determined on 27 February 2020, giving a total sterling dividend of £61,389,753.69. A scrip dividend will be made available for this Final Dividend, allowing shareholders to elect to receive their dividend in the form of new ordinary shares.
The "Calculation Price" for the issue of new ordinary shares under the scrip dividend scheme is:
179.72 pence for each new ordinary share.
This is equivalent to 1 new share for approximately 58.07 shares held prior to the ex-dividend date of 2 April 2020.
The Calculation Price is the average of the middle market quotations of a ConvaTec share, derived from the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List, for the five consecutive business days from 2 April to 8 April 2020 (inclusive). 
The latest date for receipt of elections to participate in the scrip dividend scheme for the Final Dividend is 21 April 2020. Shareholders must return their mandate form by 5pm (BST) or otherwise input their CREST elections to be received by the Company's registrar, Computershare, by 3pm (BST) on 21 April 2020. Elections received after this deadline will apply to subsequent dividends only. Unless revoked by you, your scrip dividend election will apply for all future dividends for which a scrip dividend is offered. Evergreen elections for CREST shareholders cannot be accepted and elections will revert to cash by default after the payment of each dividend.
