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.

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).
