As of January 20, 2015, there were 3,476 holders of record of Carnival Corporation common stock and 33,508
holders of record of Carnival plc ordinary shares and 104 holders of record of Carnival plc ADSs. The past
performance of our share prices cannot be relied on as a guide to their future performance.
All dividends for both Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are declared in U.S. dollars. If declared, holders of
Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ADSs receive a dividend payable in U.S. dollars. The
dividends payable for Carnival plc ordinary shares are payable in sterling, unless the shareholders elect to receive
the dividends in U.S. dollars. Dividends payable in sterling will be converted from U.S. dollars into sterling at
the U.S. dollar to sterling exchange rate quoted by the Bank of England in London at 12:00 p.m. on the next
combined U.S. and UK business day that follows the quarter end.
The payment and amount of any future dividend is within the discretion of the Boards of Directors. Our
dividends were and will be based on a number of factors, including our earnings, liquidity position, financial
condition, tone of business, capital requirements, credit ratings and the availability and cost of obtaining new
debt. We cannot be certain that Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc will continue their dividend in the future,
and if so, the amount and timing of such future dividends are not determinable and may be different than prior
declarations.
