Final dividend for year ended 29 February 2020: bonus issue of
new shares
The payment of the intended final dividend of 6.89 pence for the
year ended 29 February 2020 by way of bonus issue (the "Bonus
Issue") was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders at the
Company's AGM on 21 July 2020.
Further to the AGM Notice of 20 May 2020 (the "AGM Notice"), the
Bonus Issue shares will be issued to shareholders who appear on the
Company's register of members as at 11:59pm today (31 July 2020)
(the "Record Time") and Bonus Issue entitlements will be calculated
using the following formula:
a) the number of ordinary shares of 1.25 pence in the Company
("Ordinary Shares") held at the Record Time multiplied by 6.89
pence; divided by
b) the average of the middle market quotations of the Company's
Ordinary Shares on the Daily Official List of the London Stock
Exchange for the five consecutive dealing days commencing from and
including 24 July 2020 (the "Reference Share Price").
The Company today announces that the Reference Share Price for
the Bonus Issue is 216.80 pence.
The Bonus Issue shares will be issued and admitted to trading on
28 August 2020. Further to the AGM Notice, no fraction of a Bonus
Issue share will be issued.
