Dividends

Cash dividends 

Shareholders can arrange to have their dividends paid directly into their bank or building society account. To do this, complete a bank mandate form by contacting our Registrars, Equiniti. 
The advantages to using this service are:

- The payment is more secure as it avoids the risk of cheques getting lost in the post 
- It avoids the need to pay in a cheque 
- There is no risk of lost, stolen or out-of-date cheques.

The form can also be obtained by contacting Equiniti on 0371 384 2250* and via the shareholder website at www.shareview.co.uk. Bank details can also be updated by creating a Shareview Portfolio. Alternatively, you will find one attached to the tax voucher of your last dividend payment. 

Overseas shareholders can arrange for their dividends to be paid in their local currency. You can find out more information at: www.shareview.com/overseas 

*Lines are open 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, excluding UK bank holidays. 

Dividend (Scrip) 

The Scrip Dividend Scheme enables shareholders, if they so wish, to receive new ordinary shares instead of cash for future dividends. 

At the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 15 May 2025, shareholders approved the renewal of the Scrip Dividend Scheme.

If you would like to join the Scheme for future dividends, please return to the registrar, Equiniti, a completed scrip dividend mandate form. 

To be effective for a particular dividend you must complete and return your mandate so as to be received by Equiniti no later than 15 business days before the dividend payment date. 

You can download the scrip dividend mandate form and the scrip dividend booklet or alternatively obtain them from Equiniti by telephoning +44 (0)371 384 2268. Please use the country code when calling from outside the UK. Lines are open from 08:30 to 17:30 (UK time), Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England and Wales).
