Dividend Information

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

Shareholders can receive dividend payments as cash paid either directly into a bank or building society account or by cheque.

If you would like to receive your dividends directly into your bank or building society account, contact the Company’s registrar, Link Asset Services, on 0871 664 0300 (if calling from overseas, please telephone + 44 (0) 371 664 0300.

Dividend Re-investment Plan

Instead of receiving dividends as cash, shareholders can choose to reinvest their dividend payment into the Company by joining the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP). Full details of the DRIP and its charges are available from the Company’s registrar, Link Asset Services, who can be contacted on 0871 664 0300 (if calling from overseas, please telephone + 44 (0) 371 664 0300.
