An update from Contact Energy Limited ( (COENF) ) is now available.

Contact Energy Limited has updated its previously announced dividend notification for its ASX-quoted ordinary shares, confirming the foreign exchange rate used to calculate the dividend payable to Australian investors. The filing, dated 12 March 2026, does not alter the dividend itself but formalises the FX rate applied, providing clarity for shareholders on the final amount they will receive in Australian dollars.

The update follows the original dividend announcement lodged on 16 February 2026 and is structured as an amendment rather than a cancellation or deferral. By locking in and disclosing the applicable FX rate, Contact Energy addresses cross-border payment mechanics for its dual-listed stock, helping investors to better understand their cash flows and reducing uncertainty around the dividend conversion process.
