The Board of DBS declared a dividend of $0.33 per share for the second quarter ended 30 June 2021 and the Scrip dividend scheme has been suspended. With a full lifting of regulatory restrictions imposed a year ago, the dividend has reverted to its prepandemic level. Based on yesterday's closing share price and assuming that dividends are held at $0.33 per quarter, the annualized dividend yield is 4.3%. The Transfer Books and Register of Members of DBS Group Holdings Ltd. ("DBSH") will be closed from 5.00 p.m. on 16 August 2021 up to (and including) 17 August 2021 for the purpose of determining shareholders' entitlements to the proposed interim one-tier tax exempt dividend. The proposed Interim Dividend will be paid on 26 August 2021.
