Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The Company operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the Plan) which allows eligible shareholders to elect to invest dividends in ordinary shares which rank equally with the ordinary shares of the Company. The
allocation price for shares under the Plan will be calculated as the average of the daily volume weighted average market price of all Fortescue shares traded on the Australian Securities Exchange during the period of ten trading days commencing on the second day after the record date of
5 September 2016, being 7 September 2016.
The last date for receipt of applications to participate in or to cease
or vary participation in the Plan is by 5:00pm (WST) on 6 September 2016. The Directors have determined that no discount shall apply to the allocation price and the Plan will not be underwritten. Shares to be allocated under the Plan will be acquired on market and transferred to participants on
4 October 2016. A broker will be engaged to assist in this process.
