SSE PLC
SCRIP DIVIDEND
SCHEME
The Board of SSE plc ('the Company')
confirms that the Scrip reference price for the fully paid ordinary
shares to be issued to shareholders electing to receive the Scrip
dividend alternative for the interim dividend for the year ending
31 March 2025, payable on 27 February 2025, will be 1,611 pence per
share.
The Scrip reference price has been
calculated by taking the average mid-market closing price of the
Company's shares over the five business days commencing on the
ex-dividend date. In respect of the interim dividend for the year
ending 31 March 2025, this was the period 02 to 08 January
2025.
If all of the Company's eligible
shareholders as at the record date of 03 January 2025 were to elect
to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme in respect of their
entire shareholdings as at such date, based on the Scrip reference
price of 1,611 pence per share, the maximum number of shares
required to be issued by the Company, for Scrip dividend purposes,
would be 14,521,560 representing approximately 1.3% of the
Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) on the
record date.
The exact number of shares required
to be issued will be established after 31 January 2025, the final
date for receipt of elections to participate in the Scrip Dividend
Scheme.
Shareholders wishing to participate
in the Scrip Dividend Scheme should contact Computershare Investor
Services PLC and return their mandate forms to arrive no later than
31 January 2025. Shareholders wishing to withdraw from the
Scrip Dividend Scheme should ensure their requests to withdraw are
lodged with Computershare Investor Services PLC to arrive no later
than 31 January 2025.
Shareholders who hold their shares in
uncertificated form should consult their Crest sponsors as
appropriate.
