The Board is proposing a final dividend of 114.4¢ in respect of 2024, an increase of 10% on 2023. With the interim dividend of 53.2¢ paid in October 2024, the total dividend for the year would therefore be 167.6¢, representing an increase of 10% on 2023. The ex-dividend date for ordinary shares is Thursday 3 April 2025 and for American Depositary Receipts the ex-dividend date is Friday 4 April 2025. The record date (for both ordinary shares and American Depositary Receipts) is Friday 4 April 2025. The corresponding dividend amount in Pence Sterling per ordinary share will be announced on Monday 28 April 2025, calculated based on the average of the market exchange rates for the three working days commencing 23 April 2025. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on Thursday 8 May 2025, the dividend will be paid on Thursday 15 May 2025. A Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") is provided by Equiniti Financial Services Limited.
