Baxter registered shareholders now have the option of viewing future annual reports and proxy statements on the Internet. Baxter registered shareholders can sign up to receive these materials via e-mail instead of having paper copies sent through the regular mail, which saves Baxter printing and mailing costs, and is a more environmentally-friendly practice. To register for this service, please go to computershare.com or contact our transfer agent, Computershare, at 888-359-8645. If you are a first-time user, you will need to enroll in Computershare’s Investor Center located on their website.

Please note, if you own your stock through a broker or bank, you will need to contact your broker or bank to process your request for electronic delivery of the annual report and proxy statement.

Baxter dividends are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Baxter has historically paid quarterly cash dividends on its shares of common stock and currently expects to continue to do the same in the future. For more information on historical dividends paid by Baxter, please visit the All Dividends page.

Yes, Baxter does offer an automatic dividend reinvestment program to all holders of Baxter International Inc. common stock. To set up automatic dividend reinvestment please contact our transfer agent, Computershare. If you own your stock through a broker or bank, you will need to contact your broker or bank to process your request for automatic dividend reinvestment.

With every dividend declaration by the Board, Baxter discloses the record date and payment date in a press release, which is also posted on Baxter’s website. The record date is the day upon which the shareholders of record are entitled to the upcoming dividend payment. However, it is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date, which will impact whether or not you receive the next dividend (see discussion below). The payment date is the day when the dividend checks will actually be mailed to the shareholders of a company or credited to brokerage accounts.

The ex-dividend date is the first date when buying a stock does not entitle the new buyer to the declared dividend, as the transfer of stock ownership cannot be completed before the company initiates the dividend payment. The ex-dividend date is set by the NYSE and is normally one business day before the dividend record date. As a result, if you purchase a stock on the ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller of the stock gets the dividend. If you purchase the stock before the ex-dividend date, you are entitled to receive the dividend.

If you have two or more accounts in the same name, contact Computershare, our transfer agent, and ask to have your accounts consolidated. With respect to two or more shareholders who share the same address, we mail a single Annual Report and proxy statement to the household unless a shareholder notifies Computershare that he/she would like individual copies.

No. You must be a shareholder of record as of the applicable record date in order to receive a dividend payment. In addition, if you purchase stock on the ex-dividend date or after, you will not receive the next dividend payment.
