    Frequently Asked Questions

    CSL was listed on the ASX in June 1994.

    CSL has paid twice yearly dividends every year since late 1997, a little over three years after the company’s initial listing on the ASX. Up until early 2005, CSL’s dividends were all fully franked. Since then, franking credits have been intermittent.

    Since 2021 CSL has paid an unfranked interim dividend in April and a 10% franked final dividend in September/October.

    CSL has a dividend reinvestment plan, however, it has not been active since 2004. Instead, CSL periodically executes share buybacks as a way of delivering additional returns for shareholders.

    CSL originally floated in 1994 at $2.30 per share. However, taking into account share buybacks, the adjusted entry price is equivalent to around 76 cents.
