Scrip Dividend Scheme financial

"The terms and conditions of the Scrip Dividend Scheme are available on the Investors section of the Company's website"

American Depositary Receipt financial

"For American Depositary Receipt ('ADR') holders, the scrip ADR reference price for the 2025/26 final dividend is US$80.5453."

An American depositary receipt (ADR) is a certificate that represents shares of a foreign company traded on U.S. stock exchanges. It allows investors to buy and sell parts of a foreign company's stock easily, much like purchasing shares of a company based in their own country. ADRs make international investing more convenient and accessible for U.S. investors.

ex-dividend date financial

"This is calculated as the average closing mid-market price of an ordinary share for the five dealing days commencing with, and including, the ordinary share ex-dividend date."

The ex-dividend date is the date when a stock starts trading without the value of its next dividend payment included. If you buy the stock on or after this date, you won't receive that upcoming dividend; only those who owned the stock before this date are entitled to it. It matters to investors because it determines who is eligible to receive the dividend and can influence the stock’s price around that time.

record date financial

"29 May 2026 | Record date"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
