Nevsun Declares Third Quarterly Dividend of 2016 and Approves Dividend Reinvestment Plan

19.09.2016  |  CNW

VANCOUVER , Sept. 19, 2016 /CNW/ - Nevsun Resources Ltd.. (TSX:NSU) (NYSE MKT: NSU) ("Nevsun" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of US$0.04 per common share (US$0.16 per common share annually).  The dividend is payable on October 14, 2016, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2016.  

This dividend qualifies as an 'eligible dividend' for Canadian income tax purposes.

Dividend Reinvestment Program

Nevsun also announces that it has adopted its Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"), some details of which were previously announced on September 12, 2016.  The adoption of the DRIP will offer shareholders an opportunity to increase their investment in Nevsun without additional transaction costs by reinvesting their cash dividends into additional common shares of the Company ("Common Shares").

At this time, the Company intends to have the Common Shares issued from treasury at a 3% discount to the weighted average trading price of the common shares on the NYSE during the five trading days immediately preceding the dividend payment date.  The 3% discount will remain in effect for all cash dividends that may be declared, if any, by Nevsun's Board of Directors until otherwise announced.  Dividends are paid only when declared by Nevsun's Board of Directors and the Company may, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to treasury acquisitions, or any other terms of the DRIP.

Participation in the DRIP is optional and open to all registered and beneficial shareholders in Canada and in the United States, and those other jurisdictions where participation in the DRIP would not be prohibited or restricted by applicable law.

Eligible holders of Common Shares who are not registered holders and who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact the financial institution, broker or other nominee through which their Common Shares are held to provide appropriate enrollment instructions and to ensure that any deadlines or other requirements that such financial institution, broker or nominee may impose or is subject to are met.  Residents of the United States are advised that the Depository Trust Company does not participate in dividend reinvestment plans for Canadian issuers and that in order to participate in the DRIP, such shareholder will either need to become a registered shareholder or contact a financial institution, broker or other nominee that is a participant in the Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS") depository service.

To participate in the DRIP, registered shareholders must deliver a properly completed enrollment form to Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the "Agent") not less than five business days before a dividend record date. Registered shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP for the October 14, 2016 dividend must deliver a DRIP enrollment form to the Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, September 26, 2016. Non-registered beneficial shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact the broker, investment dealer, financial institution or other nominee who holds their common shares to inquire about the applicable enrollment deadline and to request enrollment in the DRIP.  Full details of the DRIP plan and how to enroll are available on Nevsun's website at www.nevsun.com/investors/dividends/ or on the Agent's web portal at www.investorcentre.com/nevsun.

All shareholders considering enrollment in the DRIP should review the terms of the DRIP and consult with their advisors as to the implication of enrollment in the DRIP.  The DRIP plan, frequently asked questions and other related information is available at www.nevsun.com/investors/dividends.

Common Shares purchased under the DRIP will, at the discretion of the Company, be issued from treasury, be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), or be acquired through a combination thereof.  Common Shares issued from treasury are eligible for a discount of up to 5% at the discretion of the Company.

This news release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer of securities. Nevsun has filed a registration statement relating to the DRIP with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that is available electronically under the Company's profile from EDGAR (www.sec.gov/).
