Dividend history and timetable

Dividends are declared in US dollars but can also be paid in UK pounds sterling or Hong Kong dollars at the shareholder’s request.

On the UK share register we will be changing the way we pay dividends from 2024 and will no longer pay dividends by cheque. You are advised to register to receive your dividends direct to your bank account now to avoid delays receiving your future dividends. Shareholders can register or change banking instructions with our registrar Computershare at www.investorcentre.co.uk.

Below you can view the proposed timetable for the second interim dividend for 2023, together with historic values and payments from 1997 to the present.
