10. Dividends
|
Dividends represent the return of profits to shareholders. Dividends are paid as an amount per ordinary share held. The Group retains part of the profits generated to meet future investment plans or to fund share repurchase programmes. |
No dividends were paid during the period to 30 June 2023 (30 June 2022: £nil). The 2022 final dividend of 2.00 pence per ordinary share was approved at the Annual General Meeting, and was paid on 20 July 2023 to shareholders on the register on 9 June 2023. An accrual of £113 million was held on balance sheet at 30 June 2023 for this liability.
The Directors propose an interim dividend of 1.33 pence per ordinary share (totalling £74 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The dividend will be paid on 16 November 2023 to those shareholders registered on 6 October 2023.
