A proportionate quarterly dividend will be paid to the Special

Shareholders may automatically reinvest cash dividends into PSH
Public Shares through a Dividend Reinvestment Programme (“DRIP”)
whereby shares are purchased in the open market by the
administrator of the DRIP. Details about the DRIP are available at
https://pershingsquareholdings.com/psh-dividend-information/ and
through shareholders’ brokers.
Dividends will be paid in US dollars unless a shareholder elects
to be paid in GBP. Shareholders electing GBP dividends must do so
no later than the Currency Election Deadline. Further details about
the currency election are available at Pershing Square Holdings’
website
https://pershingsquareholdings.com/psh-dividend-information/.
Additional Information
The payment of each dividend is subject to the Company being
satisfied that the following conditions are met:
- the Company will meet the solvency requirements under Companies
(Guernsey) Law, immediately after the payment of the dividend;
- the Company’s total indebtedness will be less than one-third of
the Company’s total capitalisation after the payment of the
relevant interim dividend.
The decision as to whether PSH pays a dividend in the future
will be made by the PSH Board with the consent of the Investment
Manager. While PSH intends to pay a quarterly dividend going
forward, there is no guarantee that PSH will continue to do so.
PSH’s Board’s decision to pay a dividend should not be interpreted
to mean that PSH will be profitable in the future.
