Statement regarding future dividends
Following the approval given by shareholders in General Meeting for the Sub-Division, the Board confirms its intention to move to paying a quarterly dividend from 2016 onwards.
It is the Board's current intention that the first quarterly interim dividend will be 1.28125 pence per New Ordinary Share equivalent to 5.125 pence per old share. Payment of such dividend will be confirmed in early January 2016 and is expected to be paid in early February 2016 thereby allowing time for shareholders to avail themselves of the scrip dividend alternative should they so choose. Subsequent quarterly payments are expected to be made in May, August and November.
