DECLARATION OF FIRST INTERIM DIVIDEND
The Company announces the payment of the first interim dividend
in respect of the year ended 30 September 2023 of 4.0 pence per
ordinary share (2022: 3.6 pence per ordinary share).
The dividend will be paid on 21 April 2023 to all shareholders
on the register on 17 March 2023. The ex- dividend date is 16 March
2023.
In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is the Board's
intention that the second, third and fourth interim dividends will
also be 4.0 pence per Ordinary Share, payable in July 2023, October
2023 and January 2024 respectively, making a total dividend payment
for the year ending 30 September 2023 of 16.0 pence per ordinary
share.
Based on the share price at 8 March 2023, this would represent a
3.5% dividend yield and is an overall increase of 11.1% on the
total dividend payment for the financial year ended 30 September
2022 of 14.4 pence per ordinary share.
