Dividends on PotashCorp shares will be paid as and when declared by the Board of Directors.
The following discussion and dividend history have been adjusted for a 2 for 1 stock split in August 2004 and a 3 for 1 stock split in May 2007:
Since 1990, a dividend has been paid every quarter, doubling from the first C $0.03 per share to C $0.06 in August 1994 and converted to US $0.0417 per share in August 1999.
Announced in July 2004, in conjunction with the 2 for 1 stock split, the dividend was increased by 20 percent to US $0.05 per share.
Announced in May 2007, in conjunction with the 3 for 1 stock split, the dividend was increased by 100 percent to US $0.10 per share.
Pursuant to subsection 89(14) of the Canadian Income Tax Act, all dividends paid by Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. are designated as eligible dividends. An eligible dividend paid to a Canadian resident is entitled to the enhanced dividend tax credit.
Dividends paid to residents in countries with which Canada has bilateral tax treaties are generally subject to the 15-percent Canadian non-resident withholding tax which is submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Shareholders in the United States who have not filed a W-9 are also subject to the back-up withholding tax (currently 28%) which is submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). There is no Canadian tax on gains from the sale of shares (assuming ownership of less than 25 percent) or debt instruments of the company owned by non-residents not carrying on business in Canada. No government in Canada levies estate taxes or succession duties.
