Dividends
A final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 March 2011 was paid on 5 September 2011 to shareholders on the register on 12 August 2011,
and an interim dividend in respect of the year ended 31 March 2012 was paid on 6 February 2012 to shareholders on the register on
30 December 2011. The final proposed dividend in respect of the year ended 31 March 2012, if approved by shareholders, will be paid on
3 September 2012 to shareholders on the register on 10 August 2012.
The dividends paid or payable on BT shares and ADSs for the last five financial years are shown in the following table. The dividends on the
ordinary shares exclude the associated tax credit. The amounts shown are not those that were actually paid to holders of ADSs. For the tax
treatment of dividends paid, see Taxation of dividends on page 185. Dividends have been translated from Sterling into US Dollars using exchange
rates prevailing on the date the ordinary dividends were paid.

aQualifying holders of ADSs on record as of 10 August 2012 are entitled to receive the final dividend which will be paid to ADS holders on 11 September 2012, subject to approval at the AGM. The US Dollar
amount of the final dividend of 57 pence per ADS to be paid to holders of ADSs will be based on the exchange rate in effect on 3 September 2012, the date of payment to holders of ordinary shares.
As dividends paid by the company are in Sterling, exchange rate fluctuations will affect the US Dollar amounts received by holders of ADSs on
conversion by the Depositary of such cash dividends.
Dividend mandate
Any shareholder wishing dividends to be paid directly into a bank or building society account should contact the Shareholder Helpline
(see page 188). Alternatively, a form may be downloaded from the Shareholder information page of our website at
www.bt.com/investorcentre. Dividends paid in this way will be paid through the Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS).
