Following its annual shareholders meetings and boards of directors meetings held this week in Coral Gables, Fla., Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL, NYSE: CUK) has announced the declaration of a quarterly dividend, three board committee appointments, and the results of the resolutions voted on at its annual general meetings. |
Quarterly Dividend Declared
On April 23, 2008, the boards declared a dividend of $0.40 per share. The boards approved a record date for the quarterly dividend of May 23, 2008, and a payment date of June 13, 2008.
Holders of Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ADSs will receive the dividend payable in U.S. dollars. The dividend for Carnival plc ordinary shares will be payable in U.S. dollars or sterling. In the absence of instructions or elections to the contrary, holders of Carnival plc ordinary shares will automatically receive the dividend in sterling.
Dividends payable in sterling will be converted from U.S. dollars at the exchange rate quoted by the Bank of England in London at 12 noon on June 2, 2008. Holders of Carnival plc ordinary shares wishing to receive their dividend in U.S. dollars or participate in the Carnival plc Dividend Reinvestment Plan must elect to do so by May 23, 2008.
New Board Committee Appointments
Laura Weil was appointed as a member of the Compensation Committees, Richard Capen was appointed as a member of the Health, Environmental, Safety & Security Committees and resigned as a member of the Audit Committees, and Uzi Zucker was appointed as a member of the Audit Committees.
These appointments fill the vacancies arising as a result of the previously announced retirement of Baroness Sarah Hogg as a member of the boards, who decided not to seek re-election at the latest annual meetings of shareholders. The board committee appointments and retirement of Baroness Sarah Hogg became effective April 22, 2008.
