RNS Number : 4031T SSE PLC 31 July 2025
SSE PLC
SCRIP DIVIDEND SCHEME
The Board of SSE plc ('the Company') confirms that the Scrip reference price
for the fully paid ordinary shares to be issued to shareholders electing to
receive the Scrip dividend alternative for the final dividend for the year
ended 31 March 2025, payable on 18 September 2025, will be 1,849 pence per
share.
The Scrip reference price has been calculated by taking the average mid-market
closing price of the Company's shares over the five business days commencing
on the ex-dividend date. In respect of the final dividend for the year ended
31 March 2025, this was the period 24 to 30 July 2025.
If all of the Company's eligible shareholders as at the record date of 25 July
2025 were to elect to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme in respect of
their entire shareholdings as at such date, based on the Scrip reference price
of 1,849 pence per share, the maximum number of shares required to be issued
by the Company, for Scrip dividend purposes, would be 25,733,244 representing
approximately 2.3% of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury
shares) on the record date.
The exact number of shares required to be issued will be established after 21
August 2025, the final date for receipt of elections to participate in the
Scrip Dividend Scheme.
Shareholders wishing to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme should
contact Computershare Investor Services PLC and return their mandate forms to
arrive no later than 21 August 2025. Shareholders wishing to withdraw from
the Scrip Dividend Scheme should ensure their requests to withdraw are lodged
with Computershare Investor Services PLC to arrive no later than 21 August
2025.
Shareholders who hold their shares in uncertificated form should consult their
Crest sponsors as appropriate.
