Share and share alike

MBL has 358 shareholders with 500 or more ordinary shares.

As an unlisted company, we operate an in-house share trading service for members wanting to buy or sell shares—the company does not re-purchase shares from shareholders.

Dividends

Each June, the Directors declare a dividend payable to shareholders’ which is fully franked. This dividend is normally paid out in October/November to coincide with the Annual General Meeting.

Selling shares

MBL holds a register with members who wish to sell their holding. We’ll handle all documentation with regards to the transfer of these shares, but the actual transfer is between the purchaser and seller. The seller dictates the price they wish to sell for.

MBL does not advise shareholders what value they should place on their shares. However, we offer the purchaser and seller the latest financial statements which they — or their financial advisor — can use to calculate perceived share value. 

Purchasing shares

If you wish to purchase shares in the company, please contact Tanya Buckland on tanya.buckland@mbl.com.au or (08) 9334 9611. She’ll give you all the information you need and walk you through the process.
