Dividend Info – Common shares

Common Stock Dividends

Dividends are paid quarterly as determined by the Board. In determining the level of the dividend, the board assesses the dividend payout as a percentage of earnings and as a percentage of cash flow from operations over a period of time. Dividends are at the discretion of the Board. In determining the dividend, the Board considers the Corporation’s financial performance, its results of operations, cash flow and needs with respect to financing ongoing operations and growth balanced against returning capital to shareholders. The board continues to focus on building sustainable earnings and cash flow growth.

Eligible dividends for Canadian tax Purposes

TransAlta Corporation hereby advises all shareholders that, effective from January 1, 2007, all dividends paid on its common and preferred shares will be designated as “eligible dividends” for Canadian income tax purposes. This designation will apply until a notification of change is posted on this website.

For more information regarding the designation of dividends, please refer to the Canadian Revenue Agency release dated December 20, 2006.  If you have any questions regarding the taxation of eligible dividends, please contact your local office of the Canada Revenue Agency.

Common stock dividends are paid on the first of the month in January, April, July and October. When a dividend payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is made the following business day. Dividends are paid in Canadian dollars.
