LONDON--(Marketwire - February 8, 2010) - Randgold Resources Limited has declared an annual
dividend for the year ended 31 December 2009 of US$0.17 per share. The
dividend payment will be made on 18 March 2010 to shareholders on the
register on 26 February 2010. The ex-dividend date will be 24 February
2010.
The United States dollar is the Company's main economic and reporting
currency. It is therefore the natural currency in which to determine
dividends. Nevertheless, shareholders wishing for the conversion of
dividend payments into sterling may do so by completing a sterling election
form which is available on the Company's website
(www.randgoldresources.com) and posting it back to the transfer
secretaries, to be received by Thursday, 25 February 2010, or by contacting
Computershare Investor Services (Jersey) Limited (Tel: +44 1534 825230).
In addition, shareholders who have elected to receive sterling dividends
can mandate payments directly to their UK bank or building society by
visiting the Investor Centre website www.investorcentre.co.uk/je or by
completing the dividend mandate form which is available on the Company's
website (www.randgoldresources.com) and posting it back to the transfer
secretaries, to be received by Thursday, 25 February 2010.
The exchange rate for payment to those who have elected to receive their
dividends in sterling will be set on 2 March 2010.
