Dividend
The interim dividend proposed of 0.15 pence per share is calculated on a
consistent basis with the FY25 final dividend, representing 3x FY25
pre-exceptional earnings cover, and applying our historic one-third/two-thirds
interim/final split.
The interim dividend will be paid on 23 April 2026 to shareholders on the
register on 13 March 2026. 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 deadline to elect to participate in the
DRIP is 30 March 2026.
