Final dividend for the year ended 14 September 2024 and special dividend

Further to the announcement released earlier today by Associated British Foods
plc (the 'Company') of its final results for the year ended 14 September 2024,
the Company confirms that:

 (i)   a final dividend of 42.3 pence per share will be paid; and
 (ii)  in addition to the final dividend, a special dividend of 27.0 pence per share
       will be paid as a second interim dividend.

The payment date for both the 2024 final dividend and the special dividend
will be 10 January 2025 and will be paid to shareholders on the register of
members as at the close of business on 13 December 2024. The ex-dividend date

The Company operates a dividend reinvestment plan ('DRIP') which is provided
by Equiniti Financial Services Limited. The final date for receipt or
