Information for Shareholders

Common things shareholders ask about:

• change of address
• lost share certificates
• dividend payments on their shares

Who you should contact for the answers to these and any other general questions you have depends on how you own your shares:

• if you hold the shares in your own name, you’re a registered shareholder and should contact our transfer agent
• if you hold your shares through an intermediary, like a brokerage firm or other institution, you’re a non-registered shareholder and should contact your intermediary.

You can buy Goldcorp shares through a registered broker. Goldcorp does not buy and sell shares directly.

There have been two stock splits:

• July 10, 1996 – 2 for 1 split

The declaration and payment of future dividends remain at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be determined based on Goldcorp's financial results, balance sheet strength, cash and liquidity requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors reserves all powers related to the declaration and payment of dividends. Consequently, in determining the dividend to be declared and paid on the common shares of the Company, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such policy at any time without prior notice.
