Dividends
The Board is proposing a final dividend of 114.4¢ in respect
of 2024, an increase of 10% on 2023. With the interim dividend of
53.2¢ paid in October 2024, the total dividend for the year
would therefore be 167.6¢, representing an increase of 10% on
2023. The ex-dividend date for ordinary shares is Thursday 3 April
2025 and for American Depositary Receipts the ex-dividend date is
Friday 4 April 2025. The record date (for both ordinary shares and
American Depositary Receipts) is Friday 4 April 2025. The
corresponding dividend amount in Pence Sterling per ordinary share
will be announced on Monday 28 April 2025, calculated based on the
average of the market exchange rates for the three working days
commencing 23 April 2025. Subject to shareholder approval at the
AGM on Thursday 8 May 2025, the dividend will be paid on Thursday
15 May 2025. A Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") is provided by
Equiniti Financial Services Limited. The DRIP enables the Company's
shareholders to elect to have their cash dividend payments used to
purchase the Company's shares. More information can be found
at www.shareview.co.uk/info/drip.
The cut-off date and time for the receipt of DRIP elections for the
final dividend referred to above is 23 April 2025 at 5:00pm (UK
