The final dividend for the period ended 31 July 2019 of 1.30p per ordinary share was paid on Tuesday, 17 December 2019 to shareholders holding shares on the register on Friday, 22 November 2019.

The Board recognises the importance of dividends to our shareholders, however, as outlined during the 2021 Capital Markets Day, the Company is prioritising resources on maximizing the significant growth opportunity that exists for the business and has taken the decision not to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

Dividend Bank Mandates
