Further to the announcement made by AEP on 20 May 2020, the Company is announcing further details in respect of the US dollar equivalent and Dividend Reinvestment Plan for the final dividend.

As was announced on 20 May 2020, the Company proposes to pay a final dividend of 0.5cts per share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2019 (2018: 3.0cts). Subject to the approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the final dividend will be paid on 17 July 2020 to those shareholders on the register on 12 June 2020.
