Receive dividends directly into UK bank accounts
Dividends payments can be paid directly into a UK bank account through BACS, with the tax voucher sent directly to the shareholder’s registered address.
Please note that you will need your Shareholder Reference Number, which can be found on your Cadbury plc share certificate or on your dividend tax voucher.
Alternatively, please contact the Registrar for a dividend mandate form to be sent to you.
Receive dividends in foreign currencies
The Registrar is now able to pay dividends in the local currency of over 100 overseas jurisdictions via the Global Payments Service (GPS). An administrative fee of £5.00 is deducted from each dividend payment for this service. For further details of GPS, or to register online, please visit the Computershare Investor Centre.
Please note that you will need the following information to hand:
- Your bank reference number (BIC code) – this is shown on your bank statement;
- Your International Bank Account Number (IBAN) – this is shown on your bank statement;
- Your full name, as stated on your bank statement; and
- Your Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) – this can be found on your Cadbury plc share certificate or your dividend tax voucher
Alternatively, please contact the Registrar to request a form and the Terms and Conditions.
Participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Cadbury plc offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), which enables shareholders to use the whole of their cash dividends to buy ordinary shares in the Company in the market at low cost, subject to Terms and Conditions. To apply for the DRIP, please visit the Computershare Investor Centre or obtain the Terms and Conditions, as well as a mandate form, from the Registrar.
Print out Dividend Tax Vouchers
You can now access and print out dividend tax vouchers for past Cadbury plc dividend payments.
Sign up for electronic communications (e-comms)
The Articles of Association of Cadbury plc permit the use of the Company’s website to be used to communicate with shareholders.
