| Dividend Reinvestment Plan |
|
Royal Bank of Canada offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan").
Under the Plan, common and preferred shareholders who reside in Canada and common shareholders in the United States may elect to have dividends paid on their shares reinvested in common shares of the bank. The bank determines whether the common shares are purchased on the secondary market or are newly-issued by the bank from treasury.
Under the Plan, the bank may offer a discount from the average market price (as defined in the Plan) on the reinvestment of dividends in additional common shares issued by the bank from treasury.
At this time, the bank has decided to purchase shares on the open market with no applicable discount.
Registered common shareholders of record residing in Canada and the United Sates wishing to join the plan can obtain an enrolment form from the bank's plan agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, from their website at www.computershare.com/rbc.
Eligible beneficial or non-registered holders of the bank's common and preferred shares must contact their financial intermediary or broker if they wish to participate in the plan.
For additional information on participation in the Plan, please write, phone, or fax the Transfer Agent:
