RNS Number : 6338C  AEP Plantations PLC  30 April 2026

AEP Plantations Plc

("AEP" or the "Company")

 Final dividend

As was announced on 30 April 2026, the Company proposes to pay a final
dividend of 43.7 cents per share. With an interim dividend of 37.3 cents per
Share already paid, the total dividend declared for the year ended 31 December
2025 will be 81.0 cents (2024: 51.0 cents per Share), representing
approximately 35% of retained profits attributable to our Group for the year
and higher than our dividend policy. Subject to shareholder approval at the
forthcoming Annual General Meeting, the final dividend will be paid on 30 July
2026 to shareholders on the register on 19 June 2026.

While the dividend is declared in US Dollars, shareholders can elect to
receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling. In the absence of any specific
instruction up to the date of closing of the register on 19 June 2026,
shareholders with addresses in the UK will be deemed to have elected to
receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling and those with addresses outside
the UK will be deemed to have elected to receive their dividends in US
Dollars.

For shareholders opting to receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling, the
final dividend of 43.7 cents will be converted at the exchange rate prevailing
on 19 June 2026 (the record date). For illustration, based on the exchange
rate at 14 April 2026 of $1.359/, the equivalent dividend per share would
be 32.16p. Shareholders wishing to change their currency election must do so
by 19 June 2026.

Dividends will be paid electronically either through the CREST system for
participating members or by direct bank transfer pursuant to a dividend
mandate provided by the shareholder or custodian. In line with market
practice, international dividend cheque payments in USD will be discontinued
from 31 March 2026. Shareholders are encouraged to update their payment
instructions and banking details through the Computershare Investor Services
website to facilitate efficient and secure dividend payments. Shareholders are
encouraged to ensure their payment instructions and banking details are up to
date through the Computershare Investor Services website to facilitate
efficient and secure dividend payments. The use of electronic payment methods,
including CREST where applicable, improves operational efficiency and supports
AEP's sustainability commitments to shareholders, investors and the wider
market.
