For capital gains purposes, the common shares valuation date was fixed on December 31, 1971, at which date the Provincial Bank of Canada share closed at $3.3437 and the Banque Canadienne Nationale share closed at $3.5625, after adjusting for both 2-for-1 stock splits of February 12, 1987 and February 13, 2014.

The enrolment in the DRIP provides a convenient method for holders of National Bank's eligible shares(1) to acquire common shares, without payment of brokerage fees or administration fees. On December 12, 2018, National Bank unveiled its revised DRIP that enables holders of eligible shares to reinvest their cash dividends in common shares in either of the following ways:

• Dividend reinvestment option: holders of eligible shares reinvest cash dividends paid on eligible shares;
• Optional cash payments option: making optional cash payments, minimum amount of $1 per cash payment, up to a maximum of $5,000 per quarter.

On December 10, 2009, National Bank announced that the common shares subscribed by the participants to the DRIP will be acquired on their behalf by way of purchase on the secondary market, without any discount, by Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the transfer agent of the Bank.
